ThinkCareBelieve: Week 46 America Shining Brightly

ThinkCareBelieve's Week 46 Article hails the Trump Administration for intense and important progress in various sectors, including immigration, national security, and economic policy. The administration's mix of policy shifts and public celebrations reflects its broader strategy for the coming year.

Week 46 of President Trump’s second term saw a flurry of major policy moves and national announcements. From sweeping immigration reforms to a renewed focus on national security, the administration pushed forward on multiple fronts. Officials described the period as one of both intensity and steady resolve.

The week also included high-profile ceremonial events, new executive actions, and international agreements.

The administration began with a crackdown on government fraud and abuse. The Department of Government Efficiency revealed millions of Social Security cards had been improperly issued. Meanwhile, the Department of Housing and Urban Development launched a hotline for reporting illegal use of public housing. Over 800,000 ineligible recipients were also removed from SNAP benefits.

National security took centre stage as a full travel ban was imposed on 12 countries following a terrorist attack in the capital. The 2025 National Security Strategy was released, stressing peace through military strength, global partnerships, and American independence. In a separate move, President Trump signed his 201st executive order, securing the return of American hostages held abroad.

On the international front, Rwanda and Congo finalised a long-awaited peace agreement. Domestically, the Oversight Committee invalidated all documents signed by Joe Biden’s autopen and ramped up investigations into foreign funding of universities and NGOs.

The week also featured symbolic and ceremonial moments. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump lit the National Christmas Tree and unveiled the White House holiday decorations. In a public address, the president declared Jesus Christ the turning point in human history and proclaimed, 'America is back—bigger, better, and stronger than ever.'

Legislative and economic actions followed. The Medal of Honor Act was signed into law, and the administration announced the rollback of CAFE fuel efficiency standards. A ninth Cabinet meeting was convened, and plans for Trump Accounts—a new financial initiative—were set for a July 4th launch next year, coinciding with America’s 250th birthday celebrations.

The week’s developments spanned immigration, security, and economic policy, with both immediate and long-term effects. Investigations into fraud and foreign influence are ongoing, while the travel ban and hostage recovery efforts mark a firm stance on national defence. The administration’s mix of policy shifts and public celebrations reflects its broader strategy for the coming year.
