Democrats Have Officially Lost CNN — “Most Influential President Of This Century!”

Even CNN, long known for its critical stance on Trump, appears to be acknowledging just how significant his presidency truly is. In a surprisingly straightforward segment, a CNN commentator broke down key data points that suggest Trump is not only reshaping the country — he’s doing it at an unprecedented scale compared to modern presidents.

First, the issue of tariffs. Trump has often been accused of backing down when it comes to tough trade measures, but that narrative doesn’t hold up against the numbers. The effective tariff rate under his leadership has soared to 18% — the highest since the Franklin D. Roosevelt era in the 1930s. Just last year, the rate was 2%. That means tariffs have increased nearly ninefold in a single year, signaling a massive shift in U.S. trade policy.

Then there’s immigration. Trump ran on a strict immigration platform, and the results are striking. According to the report, net migration in 2025 is down at least 60% from the previous year. In fact, for the first time in at least half a century, the U.S. could actually see net negative migration — meaning more people are leaving the country than entering it. That’s a stunning reversal from 2024, when net migration was 2.8 million.

But Trump’s impact doesn’t stop there. When it comes to executive action, he’s moving at full throttle. So far this year, he has signed 180 executive orders — more than any president in a single year since FDR. By comparison, Biden signed just 77 executive orders during his entire first year in office. And we’re only in early August.

These aren’t just numbers. They show how Trump is reshaping the structure of government and the direction of the nation. Whether you love him, hate him, or fall somewhere in between, there’s no denying that Trump is rewriting the playbook for the American presidency — not just for this century, but possibly for the better part of the last one as well.
