“We had two good weeks, huh?”: Donald Trump or the art of “winning”
It's clear that the White House tenant has recently enjoyed a string of successes and has managed to win the favor of Congress and the Supreme Court, according to this analysis from the New York Times. Even if this good fortune may not last.
Just hours after Congress rammed through his sweeping budget bill on July 3, President Donald Trump stood before a crowd of supporters gathered at the Iowa State Fairgrounds and marveled at all his recent victories.
“We've had two good weeks, huh?” he said proudly. “These must be the best two weeks ever. Has anyone ever had two weeks better than these?”
While there have certainly been better two-week stretches in Washington's history, there is no doubt that for Trump, at least since the beginning of his second term, the victories have been coming thick and fast.
The military strikes he ordered against Iran have succeeded in rolling back Tehran's nuclear program without provoking a new open conflict. He visited Europe [on June 25] and persuaded NATO members to release more money for their own defense . The Supreme Court has consistently supported his executive orders strengthening his power. The American economy has held up despite the worst-case scenarios of increased tariffs , and Wall Street is posting new records.
