Over the past seven days, President Donald Trump has orchestrated a series of remarkable triumphs that have reshaped both international and domestic landscapes, yet most mainstream journalists—outside of Maria Bartiromo on FOX Business and, to a lesser extent, CNN’s Jake Tapper seem unable or unwilling to acknowledge this extraordinary week. On the international stage, Trump’s decisive leadership culminated in U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, severely crippling Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. He followed this bold move by brokering a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, de-escalating a 12-day conflict that threatened regional stability. This diplomatic coup, hailed by supporters as a masterstroke of “peace through strength,” was complemented by Trump’s success at the NATO summit, where he secured commitments from allies to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, reinforcing global security and American influence.
Domestically, Trump’s week was equally monumental, with the Supreme Court delivering landmark victories that bolstered his agenda. In a 6-3 ruling, the Court curbed the power of lower court judges to issue nationwide injunctions, clearing the way for Trump’s executive actions, including his controversial order to end birthright citizenship, which he argues misinterprets the 14th Amendment. The Court also upheld policies allowing deportations to third countries, facilitating Trump’s mass deportation plans, and supported parental rights to opt children out of certain school curricula, aligning with his base’s cultural priorities. These judicial wins, celebrated by Trump as “monumental for the Constitution,” have dismantled obstacles to his policy goals, though critics warn of legal chaos. Meanwhile, the House passed the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping legislative package combining tax cuts, immigration enforcement funding, and infrastructure investments, with the Senate poised to approve it by July 4, fulfilling Trump’s campaign promises.
Economically, Trump’s policies have fueled a robust outlook, with inflation remaining low and federal revenues surging due to new trade deals, including a significant agreement with China that sent markets to record highs. Gas prices have dropped, and stock market gains reflect investor confidence in Trump’s pro-business agenda. His administration’s decision to end deportation protections for Haitians, citing improved conditions, underscores his focus on immigration enforcement, though it has sparked humanitarian concerns. Despite these achievements—ranging from neutralizing Iran’s nuclear threat to securing judicial and economic victories—the majority of the media, branded “fake news” by Trump supporters, has focused on critiques or downplayed the scale of his successes. Posts on X reflect this sentiment, with users like @Janet_sm145 and @kylawndog praising Trump’s “absolute 🔥” week, while lamenting the media’s refusal to celebrate a president they view as delivering on his promises.
