Donald Trump’s announcement of a major drug pricing executive order, an apparent breakthrough in trade talks with China, and a slew of other smaller victories indicate that the president isn’t slowing down in delivering on his ambitious second-term agenda.

In every presidency, there are inflection points that determine how successful a president will be, and which ultimately define his legacy. Trump appears to be emerging on the other side of the first such moment of his second term and may be seizing back political momentum following a temporary lull.

When Trump stormed back to office last November, his decisive victory left Democrats in shambles. The liberal party lost the White House, House, and Senate and was mired in an internal ideological civil war. Moderates cried that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had taken the party too far left. The emergent progressive wing, meanwhile, insisted that the problem was really that Democrats weren’t liberal enough.

While Democrats were busy fighting amongst themselves, Trump took the oath of office for the second time and unleashed one of the most historic first 100 days of any president in history. His “shock and awe” strategy on everything from shutting down the border to renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America kept Democrats on their heels and cemented Republicans in the driver’s seat.
