Trump Recognizes Six Months of Victories, Even Media Has to Admit How 'Consequential' It's Been

It's already six months into President Donald Trump's second term. 

He hit the ground running, and I don't think he's slowed down since he started. 

Now, Trump is recognizing what his administration has accomplished in six months, and even the liberal media are having to acknowledge how significant this time has been.

CNN's Jake Tapper said Trump's second term was already "shaping up to be even more consequential than his first," keeping promises like mass deportations and reducing the federal bureaucracy. 

"Wow, a lot can happen in just six months," says CNN's Jake Tapper.

Tapper also did take a shot and claim that Trump was targeting political enemies, "including the news media." Funny how he perceives the news media as a political enemy of Trump, saying the quiet part out loud there. If even Tapper has to make some acknowledgment, you know it's been a banging 6 months. 

ABC was a bit more objective, acknowledging Trump kept his promises on issues like the border, where there has been a "massive reduction" in crossings compared to the same time last year under Biden.

The Trump team's list of achievements includes everything from ensuring Americans kept more of their take-home pay and adding more jobs to bringing inflation down. Not to mention a foreign policy record full of success.

Such a huge difference from Joe Biden and the Democrats.
