To The Moon

It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since Donald Trump was sworn in—again. When I look back on the past twelve months of his second presidency, one word comes to mind: unpredictable.

I remember election night clearly. The results came in late, and when it became clear Trump had won, my group chat exploded. Half of us were shocked, the other half said, “Well, you can’t say it’s boring.” That sentiment has aged well. Quite often since, there’s been something new—something loud, headline-grabbing, and widely discussed.

One of the first big moments came with the tariffs. Trump wasted no time reviving his old economic playbook, this time targeting many countries. The impacts were immediate—stock markets swung. It quickly became clear that his policies were reshaping global trade again. Economists debated whether this was protectionism or a bold negotiation tactic. The uncertainty itself became a kind of policy—markets reacting not just to what Trump did, but to what he might do next.

Then came the feud that no one could have scripted better: Trump vs. Elon Musk. Their public disagreements played out, making for a storyline that felt impossible to ignore. It was a clash of two influential figures whose words and actions have the power to shape conversations about business and politics.

But beyond the spectacle, Trump 2.0 has been about the power of his words. Whether it’s a statement about the economy or immigration, what Trump says still moves markets and shapes conversations across the country.

Personally, I find it exhausting and fascinating at the same time. There’s a strange rhythm to Trump’s presidency—you never know what will happen, but you always know something will. Every day feels like a headline waiting to happen, and after a year of Trump 2.0, that unpredictability has become the only thing you can count on.

So, yes—one word sums it up: unpredictable. One thing is certain: the world is still watching, waiting, and wondering what Trump will do next.
