The Trump Phenomenon in 2025: A Legacy That Endures

Donald Trump remains a central figure in global politics even in 2025. Whether you support or criticise him, the impact of Trump on modern political landscapes is undeniable. This blog delves into the legacy of Trump and explores how his influence continues to shape America and the world in profound ways.

Trump’s Political Legacy

Trump’s presidency from 2017 to 2021 was one of the most polarising periods in American history. His "America First" policy reshaped international relations, focusing on prioritising domestic interests over global commitments. Although his tenure ended four years ago, the ripple effects of Trump’s policies are still visible today. From trade agreements to shifts in NATO dynamics, the "Trump era" set a precedent for nationalist-driven policies worldwide.

Trump’s approach to governance, characterised by his direct communication style on social media, broke the mould of traditional politics. Even in 2025, many political leaders mimic Trump’s unfiltered rhetoric to connect with their voter base. The "Trump effect" on political campaigns is a testament to his lasting influence, inspiring both ardent followers and vocal critics.

Trump and the American Economy

Economic policies under Trump are still a matter of intense debate. Supporters credit Trump for reinvigorating the American economy, citing tax cuts and deregulation as key drivers of growth. His "America First" trade policies, though controversial, sought to rebuild domestic industries, particularly in manufacturing and energy. In 2025, some economists argue that the economic stability seen today stems from the foundations laid during the Trump administration.

Critics, however, contend that Trump’s trade wars and protectionist policies created economic volatility, impacting global supply chains. The tariffs on China, for example, remain a hotly debated topic. While the debate continues, it is evident that Trump’s economic philosophy sparked discussions that influence policy decisions to this day. The question of whether the "Trump economy" truly benefitted all Americans remains a central topic, with both success stories and cautionary tales in its wake.

Trump’s Influence on Global Politics

Globally, Trump’s presidency redefined America’s role on the world stage. His interactions with world leaders, including his unprecedented meetings with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, remain milestones in international diplomacy. In 2025, Trump’s approach to foreign policy continues to inspire both emulation and critique among global leaders.

Trump’s withdrawal from key international agreements, such as the Paris Climate Accord and the Iran Nuclear Deal, reshaped discussions about global cooperation. Although the United States re-joined these agreements after Trump left office, his scepticism of multilateralism left an indelible mark. The "Trump doctrine" in foreign policy is still a reference point for those advocating for sovereignty and national interest, national interest, and a re-examination of traditional alliances.

Trump in the Media Spotlight

Few figures in history have commanded media attention like Trump. In 2025, Trump remains a media magnet, whether through his frequent interviews, public appearances, or his active presence on social media platforms. The "Trump brand" is as powerful as ever, symbolising a unique blend of celebrity and political influence.

Trump’s relationship with the media has always been contentious. His use of the term "fake news" changed how the public perceives journalism. Even in 2025, debates about media bias and credibility often invoke Trump’s criticisms. This legacy highlights the enduring impact of Trump’s rhetoric on public discourse, encouraging scepticism among news consumers and sparking calls for
