Trump celebrates 6 months back in office: US 'totally revived' after being 'DEAD' under Biden
"Wow, time flies! Today is that Sixth Month Anniversary of my Second Term. Importantly, it's being hailed as one of the most consequential periods of any President," Trump wrote on social media.
"In other words, we got a lot of good and great things done, including ending numerous wars of Countries not related to us other than through Trade and/or, in certain cases, friendship," he added on TRUTH Social. "Six months is not a long time to have totally revived a major Country."
Trump continued: "One year ago our Country was DEAD, with almost no hope of revival. Today the USA is the 'hottest' and most respected Country anywhere in the World. Happy Anniversary!!!"
Trump's first six months have been marked by a number of significant moments, particularly on the international stage.
After Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen ramped up attacks on shipping vessels in the Red Sea in late 2024, the Trump administration designated the group a foreign terrorist organization, reinstating a move that had been reversed under Biden.
U.S. and U.K. forces earlier this year pounded Houthi missile and radar sites as part of an operation to ensure freedom of navigation, and the Trump administration secured a ceasefire deal with the terror group in May.
Trump intervened in the Israel-Iran war in June, ordering U.S. military strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities and infrastructure that pummeled Tehran's capabilities and forced the regime into quick submission.
Though Trump had promised on the campaign trail to end the Ukraine-Russia war within 24 hours, a peace agreement between the two sides has so far failed to materialize.
Earlier in his second term, Trump had slammed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a perceived lack of gratitude for billions of dollars in U.S. support to his war effort under Biden's presidency. Trump more recently has sharpened his criticism of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, slamming Moscow for the massive loss of life on both sides during the more than three-year-long conflict.
Trump issued a new deadline in mid-July that Russia had 50 days to agree to a ceasefire or face "maximum tariffs." He also recently approved the sale of additional U.S. Patriot missiles to Ukraine.
In its first six months, the Trump administration had also brokered a ceasefire between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda in late June.
Beyond "ending numerous wars," Trump has celebrated other accomplishments during his first six months back in office, including securing the passage of his "big, beautiful bill," which made the 2017 Trump tax cuts permanent. The legislative package also earmarked funding for the president's other initiatives, including for his mass deportation campaign and border security.
On overseas trips and at home, Trump has repeatedly said the U.S. is the "hottest" country, claiming to have restored America's reputation both domestically and on the world stage with his "America First" foreign policy.
Delivering on his 2024 pledge to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the planet," Trump on Friday signed landmark legislation that creates a regulatory regime for dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies known as stablecoins.
Trump on Sunday also appeared to dismiss concerns that his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files could cost Republicans control of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections and beyond.
"My Poll Numbers within the Republican Party, and MAGA, have gone up, significantly, since the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax was exposed by the Radical Left Democrats and, just plain 'troublemakers'," Trump wrote in another post Sunday morning. "They have hit 90%, 92%, 93%, and 95%, in various polls, and are all Republican Party records. The General Election numbers are my highest, EVER! People like Strong Borders, and all of the many other things I have done. GOD BLESS AMERICA. MAGA!"

Pennsylvania Skill, powered by Pace-O-Matic, applauds PA Gaming Control Board and casinos on record-breaking $6.4 billion revenue in 2024/2025 fiscal year
Even with their financial gains, casinos continue their unjustified attack on skill games HARRISBURG, PA, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pace-O-Matic, the developer of legal Pennsylvania Skill games, congratulated the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) and state casinos on breaking all records with $6.4 billion in revenue during the 2024/2025 fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2025. The revenue comes from slot machines, table games, internet gaming, sports wagering, fantasy contests, and video gaming terminals (VGTs). As the PGCB and casinos celebrate an unprecedented 12-month financial win, small businesses, veteran groups, volunteer fire companies, and other fraternal clubs in Pennsylvania are also praising the supplemental income they receive from operating legal skill games. Many would need to make difficult economic decisions without the revenue. 'Pennsylvania casinos continue to break revenue records, which is great news for the commonwealth,' said Mike Barley, chief public affairs officer for Pace-O-Matic (POM). 'It is also more than proof that no competition exists between casinos and the small businesses and fraternal organizations that provide skill games to their customers." The state numbers show incredible growth in internet gambling in the state. While some casinos saw their brick-and-mortar revenue decline, it has clearly shifted to online gambling. The 2024/2025 internet gaming revenue totaled $2.47 billion, a 27% increase from the revenue during the 2023/2024 fiscal year. POM supports fair regulation and taxation of skill games, specifically through the passage of legislation sponsored by Sen. Gene Yaw. His Senate Bill 626 would generate $300 million in annual tax revenue. However, a competing proposal, Senate Bill 756 - supported by casinos - poses a real threat to small businesses and other groups that rely on skill game revenue. This bill imposes a crushing 40% effective tax, when including all fees, and introduces operational restrictions that could prevent many establishments from offering skill games. This would harm many businesses and nonprofit organizations and would mean a drop in the expected state tax revenue. 'Instead of trying to work with us, casinos have focused for years on unsuccessful legislation and legal challenges seeking an outright ban on skill games,' said Barley. 'The worst part is that their efforts, if successful, will kill small businesses, American Legions, VFWs, Moose Lodges, and many other places that count on skill games.' There is no question about the legality of the games. Several courts have ruled that Pennsylvania Skill games are legal, including a unanimous Commonwealth Court. The games also provide jobs in the state, in part because they are manufactured in Williamsport. In addition, over 90% of the income they generate stays within the local economy or the state.

TACO or tariffs? Trump's big trade deadline is coming. Here's what to expect
If Trump holds firm to his third deadline, a slew of countries will face steep levies, including a 50% tariff on imports from Brazil and a 30% tariff on the European Union. Standing in the Rose Garden and holding a giant chart, President Donald Trump, who likes to call himself 'Tariff Man' showed off the 'reciprocal' tariffs he was planning to levy on dozens of countries. That was April 2, christened 'Liberation Day' by Trump. Almost four months and two extensions later, a new Aug. 1 deadline is looming. A slew of countries will face steep tariffs − including a 50% tariff on imports from Brazil and a 30% tariff on the European Union. A baseline tariff of 10% remains for all countries. 'We'll have a straight, simple tariff of anywhere between 15% and 50%," Trump said during an AI summit in Washington, on July 23. "We have 50 (percent) because we haven't been getting along with those countries too well." Are new tariffs really coming? Will there be another extension? Trump has said no. But Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently left the door open for a third reprieve. The first deadline, on April 9, was paused for 90 days − until July 9 − after it caused significant turbulence in the financial markets and economists warned of a potential recession. "I thought that people were jumping a little bit out of line," Trump said on April 9. 'They were getting yippy, you know. They were getting a little bit yippy, a little bit afraid." Trump's shifting on the deadlines also gave birth to an acronym: TACO, for Trump Always Chickens Out, mocking his on-again-off-again tariff policies. A pause – then a tariff storm On July 7, two days before the new tariffs were to go into effect, Trump extended the deadline to Aug. 1, saying several countries were negotiating deals. Trump also began sending letters on July 7 to countries letting them know of the new, updated tariffs that would be imposed on them. The first batch of 14 letters to countries including South Africa and Malaysia also made clear that if they retaliated against the United States with their own tariffs, their target tariffs would go even higher. On July 9, he sent tariff letters to another eight countries, including Brazil. So far, the United States has sent 25 tariff letters, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on July 23. What trade deals have been struck so far? While the U.K. was the first country to reach a trade agreement with the United States, the latest and the most significant deal so far has been with Japan, Washington's fifth-largest trading partner. Other countries with whom Trump announced deals in recent months include Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. On July 22, Trump announced a 'massive deal' with Japan under which the United States would impose a 15% tariff on Japanese imports. Trump had previously threatened a 24% tariff on Japan. He also wrote said Japan would invest $550 billion in the United States and that the United States would receive 90% of the profits, without offering any details. His announcement also said Japan had agreed to open up to imports of vehicles, rice and other agricultural products from the United States. Of the five countries that the United States has struck trade deals with, it only runs a trade surplus with the U.K. TACO time? On July 21, in an interview with CNBC, Bessent was noncommittal on whether there could be an extension for countries negotiating in good faith. 'We'll see what the president wants to do,' Bessent said. He added that reverting to the steep tariffs that were first proposed after the deadline might force countries to come up favorable terms. 'But again, if we somehow boomerang back ... I would think that a higher tariff level will put more pressure on those countries to come with better agreements,' said Bessent. Meanwhile Trump has repeatedly said there will be 'no change' in the deadline. 'In other words, all money will be due and payable starting AUGUST 1, 2025 − No extensions will be granted,' he wrote on Truth Social on July 8. What's happening with tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China? Trump threatened a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada shortly after his election victory. Ten days after taking office, Trump went after the top three trading partners of the United States with an executive order imposing 25% tariffs on nearly all goods from Canada and Mexico. Trump said it was to force the countries to stem the flow of migrants and fentanyl across the United States border. Meanwhile, China was hit with a 10% tariff. Canada and Mexico immediately responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Two days later, Trump agreed to a 30-day pause. In March, Trump waived tariffs on goods compliant with the United State-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMC) and the imposed 25% universal tariffs on steel, aluminum and automotive imports, including those from Mexico and Canada. Tariffs on steel, aluminum and copper were raised in June to 50% − Canada is the biggest supplier of steel and aluminum to the United States − while the tariffs on automotive imports held steady. Trump sent a letter to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in July saying he planned to impose 35% tariffs across-the-board on imports from Canada come Aug. 1. Trump said fentanyl was "hardly the only" challenge United States had with Canada and that its trade barriers and non-tariff polices were causing "unsustainable" trade deficits. "Canada charges extraordinary Tariffs to our Dairy farmers – up to 400% - and that is even assuming our Dairy Farmers even have access to sell their products to the people of Canada," Trump said in the letter. In a letter to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Trump said that the country had helped in 'securing the border.' But he said Mexico had 'still not stopped the Cartels who are trying to turn all of North America into a Narco-Trafficking Playground.' After months of tit-for-tat tariffs and trade war with China, which saw the U.S. tariffs spiking to 145% and Chinese tariffs on U.S. goods reaching 125%, the two called a truce in May, agreeing to a 90-day suspension of the levies, set to expire on Aug 12. On June 11, Trump announced a deal had been 'done' subject to 'final approval' by both leaders. He said the U.S. tariffs would be set at 55% on imported Chinese goods while China's tariffs remain at 10%. Bessent, who is scheduled to meet his Chinese counterpart on July 28 in Stockholm, Sweden, indicated the deadline was likely to be moved. 'We'll be working out what is likely an extension' Bessent told Fox Business on July 22. Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy is a White House correspondent for USA TODAY.

What's happening with forgiveness for student loans on income-based repayment plans?
Amid a federal overhaul of student loan plans, many borrowers have been left wondering what it means for their hopes of loan forgiveness. In particular, those who are enrolled in a repayment plan known as income-based repayment, or IBR, have wondered if forgiveness will still be available to them. A recent update from the Education Department said forgiveness through the IBR plan is paused while systems are updated. 'IBR forgiveness will resume once those updates are completed,' the agency said. IBR is not affected by a federal court's injunction blocking former President Joe Biden's Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE, plan. The IBR plan was created by Congress separately from other existing repayment plans, including those known as PAYE and ICR. It's also exempt from some changes coming from President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill. Here's what to know. Following a court injunction last summer, loan forgiveness for the SAVE, Income-Contingent Repayment, or ICR, and Pay As You Earn, or PAYE, plans is currently paused because those plans were not created by Congress. The legal action called into question whether student loan forgiveness was authorized under the federal statute that governs those plans. The IBR plan was created under a different authority. IBR, created by Congress, reduces monthly payments for borrowers with lower incomes. It also invokes a statute that authorizes student loan forgiveness of the balance at the end of a 20- or 25-year repayment term. The Education Department hasn't given a timeline for when its system update will be complete and forgiveness will resume. Borrowers enrolled in IBR who have reached the threshold for forgiveness but who are not seeing their loans discharged as a result of the pause may continue to make payments with the expectation that the Education Department will refund the excess payments. The plan offers forgiveness after 240 or 300 monthly payments, depending on when borrowers enrolled. Borrowers can also request forbearance from their loan servicer. In that case, interest would continue to accrue on any remaining balance. Trump's tax and spending law will eventually phase out the ICR, PAYE and SAVE plans, replacing them with the Repayment Assistance Plan. IBR plans will continue to exist and to provide forgiveness after 20 or 25 years. RAP, in contrast, will require 30 years of repayment before forgiveness is granted. Lewis writes for the Associated Press.
