The first six months of President Donald Trump’s second term have been the most “successful” of any American president since Franklin D. Roosevelt, according to a Newsweek study utilizing artificial intelligence.
The approach measures success in terms of legislative accomplishments, taking into account the degree of influence each president’s party had over Congress during the relevant period. One political scientist told Newsweek that Trump’s legislative triumphs, such as his centerpiece One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a tax and spending package, are “reflective of the partisan support in Congress.”
Trump was inaugurated as president for the second time on January 20 after winning the 2024 presidential election on promises to curb illegal immigration, combat “woke” culture, and reduce taxes.
According to the model, Trump has been successful in enacting many of his policies, thanks in large part to Republicans’ majority in both chambers of Congress and the conservative-dominated Supreme Court.
