After taking office on a soggy January afternoon,\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0wasted no time setting about an incendiary\u00a0second term\u00a0<\/a>which has had far-reaching consequences around the world.<\/p>\n

The 47th President of the\u00a0United States<\/a>\u00a0set the tone with a blizzard of highly controversial moves, including pardoning the US Capitol rioters who rampaged through the seat of American\u2019s power.<\/p>\n

The megaphone message was clear: This is the\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0show,\u00a0and\u00a0be damned with those who oppose it.<\/p>\n

Unhinged, as critics might say, or a shrewd\u00a0deal-maker\u00a0out to Make America Great Again, he has\u00a0nevertheless\u00a0been given the full state red carpet by states keen to\u00a0curry\u00a0favour.<\/p>\n

Overhanging his tenure has been his alignment with\u00a0Russia<\/a>\u00a0as Vladimir Putin continues to wage his bloody and unprovoked war on\u00a0Ukraine<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0ever-simmering\u00a0Epstein affair<\/a>\u00a0which refuses to go away.<\/p>\n

However, MAGA-ites have reveled in the president being awarded the inaugural FIFA peace prize at the 2026 World Cup draw in Washington, and hope it is a good omen for a Nobel Peace Price.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at other key moments in Trump\u2019s 2025.<\/p>\n

Trump begins his second term in office\u00a0by promising \u2018the golden age of America begins right now\u2019.<\/p>\n

Historian and propaganda analyst\u00a0Ian Garner\u00a0told\u00a0Metro\u00a0<\/strong>that the\u00a0statement\u00a0is\u00a0just another play on the idea Trump has sold since 2016<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 that modern-day America is \u2018degenerate\u2019 and less than it once was.<\/p>\n

In one of his first highly controversial moves,\u00a0the\u00a0newly elected president\u00a0issued\u00a0pardons or commutations for more than 1,500 people involved in the US Capitol riot four years previously.<\/p>\n

Trump cut off US military aid to Ukraine after\u00a0his\u00a0disastrous\u00a0Oval Office meeting<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0Volodymyr Zelensky in February.<\/p>\n

In a move which the\u00a0White House<\/a>\u00a0called a\u00a0\u2018pause and review\u2019,\u00a0the embattled nation\u2019s first line of\u00a0defence\u00a0against Russia\u2019s ballistic missiles was hit, leaving millions of people exposed.<\/p>\n
