Donald Trump
President of the United States
As of April 2025, Donald Trump is serving his second, non-consecutive term as the 47th president of the United States after defeating Joe Biden in the 2024 election. His administration has enacted sweeping changes, including major staff cuts across federal agencies under the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, and rolled back diversity initiatives while pushing hardline immigration and citizenship policies—many of which have sparked legal challenges and nationwide protests. On the global stage, Trump has reignited trade tensions with China by imposing high tariffs, prompting retaliatory measures and market instability. He has also initiated nuclear talks with Iran and continues to promote his “America First” doctrine. Amid his controversial return to power, Trump remains a polarizing figure, with recent developments even including scrutiny of Wikipedia's neutrality and online censorship concerns raised by its co-founder Larry Sanger.

James Carville, a longtime Democratic strategist, accused President Donald Trump of one of the most "ignorant" acts in American history due to his tariffs and trade war with China. Carville wrote in a New York Times op-ed that Trump's actions will be recorded as one of the most ignorant acts of political leadership, damaging the global economy and breaking the cardinal rule of never destabilizing the economy. He called on Democrats to seize this opportunity and step out of the Republicans' way.
