A: Hey Hana! Did you hear anything about Trump? It’s been a year since he started his second term!
B: Wow, really? January 2025? I almost forgot! What's he been saying?
A: He’s claiming his policies – like tariffs – are creating jobs and raising wages, you know? And that his plan is stopping prices from going up too fast.
B: Hmm, interesting. Does it *feel* that way for Americans?
A: Well, the polls say… not really. Only about 42% approve of him. 55% don't.
A: He’s also been talking about “America First,” putting America's needs first in everything. Different from Biden's approach.
B: Oh, I read something about military stuff too. Iran and Venezuela, right?
A: Yeah! And he’s pulled the US out of a lot of UN groups.
B: Crazy! He claims he's ended lots of wars too!
A: He says he ended eight! But the war in Ukraine is still going on, unfortunately.
B: That’s a big problem. So, what’s next?
A: Mid-term elections in November! It's a really important test for him.
B: The Democrats are saying his policies aren’t helping everyone. And they’re worried about his tough rules on immigration.
A: Exactly! And get this... Trump warned Republicans! He said if they *lose* the midterms, the Democrats will try to impeach him!
B: Whoa! That’s intense! Things are definitely still… complicated.
