"[1]Trump would eschew public appearances and was banned from Twitter in the months following his term, but he soon resumed speeches and would win in the 2024 United States presidential election.
[5] While in office, Trump cut back spending to major welfare programs, enacted tariffs, withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations and signed the USMCA, a successor agreement to NAFTA, grew the national debt through spending increases and tax cuts for the rich, and enacted a unilateral foreign policy based in offensive realism.
Trump was involved in many controversies related to his policies, conduct, and false or misleading statements, including an investigation into the Trump campaign's alleged coordination with the Russian government during the 2016 election, the House of Representatives impeaching him in December 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress after he solicited Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden (he was acquitted by the Senate in February 2020), his family separation policy for migrants apprehended at the U.S.–Mexico border, limitations on the number of immigrants permitted from certain countries (many of which were Muslim-majority), demand for the federal funding of the Mexico–United States border wall that resulted in the longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history, withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, withdrawal from the Paris Accords, attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and loosening of the enforcement of numerous environmental regulations.
His re-election loss to Biden came amidst a series of international crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting recession, and protests and riots following the police murder of George Floyd.
[15][16] Trump nevertheless urged his supporters on January 6, 2021, to march to the Capitol while the joint session of Congress was assembled there to count electoral votes and formalize Biden's victory, leading to hundreds storming the building and interrupting the electoral vote count; as a result, the House impeached Trump for incitement of insurrection on January 13, 2021, making him the only federal officeholder in American history to be impeached twice (the Senate would later acquit him for the second time on February 13, 2021, after he had already left office).
Trump closed the speech on an optimistic note, stating his belief that his Make America Great Again movement was only just beginning, espousing confidence that it will continue to be a force in American politics.
