Assessing the Damages: Trump’s Impact on US and Global Order

The provided source, "Trump's Global Impact Analysis," offers a comprehensive assessment of the perceived damages caused by the Trump administration, particularly its second term, across various domains as of mid-2025. It argues that the administration's actions are driven by a pre-meditated strategy outlined in "Project 2025," aiming to centralize executive power and deconstruct the administrative state through mechanisms like the unitary executive theory and "Schedule F." The report details the systematic weakening of domestic institutions, including the politicization of the Department of Justice, attacks on the judiciary, and the undermining of democratic processes. Furthermore, it analyzes the economic repercussions of protectionist trade policies and fiscal profligacy, along with the fraying of the social fabric through increased polarization and the rollback of environmental, public health, and civil rights protections. Finally, the analysis addresses the deterioration of America's global standing and its alliances due to an "America First" foreign policy, leading to a more fragmented and unstable international order.
