Presidential term
In 2017, Donald Trump passed a tax cut that decreased corporate taxes to only 11.3% of profits. He also made a $45 billion cut in food stamp benefits.[1]
In 2020, the United States withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement.[2]
Under Trump's presidency, civilian deaths caused by the U.S. military increased greatly.[3]
Involvement in the Capitol insurrection
See main article: 2021 United States Capitol insurrection
On 6 January 2021 - near the end of his presidential term - Trump rallied his supporters to storm the United States capital in an attempt to reconsolidate his power. The attack ultimately failed and Trump's term came to a close.[4]
According to an analysis on Medium, the Capitol insurrection was a coup attempt by Trump. They argue that "6 January was an attempted coup, in the sense it was designed to trigger martial law and the suspension of the transition."[5]
Post-presidency
On 8 August 2022, the Democratic Party organized a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raid on Trump's home in the State of Florida.[6] The Democrats then attempted to cover up their reasoning for the attack.[7]
