Abstract

The author of this article aims to evaluate the presidentship of Donald Trump from 2016 to 2020. Various areas of activity of the US president are estimated in this survey, including the economy state, unemployment issues, large-scale reform of the health care system, as well as other equally important foreign and domestic political circumstances and decisions of Trump which affected the US relations with other world powers (in particular, China), and which were seriously criticized by Trump's ideological opponents - the Democrats. The author analyzes the initiatives of Donald Trump on the basis of sources and analytics of well-known American scientists which allow us to get an idea of the policy of the American president. The paper attempts to identify both positive and negative results of Donald Trump's actions as president. Furthermore, the author of the article conducts a comparative analysis of Trump's election slogans and promises with the results that were implemented in reality, and reveals the things the former US president managed to achieve in 4 years at the head of the country, and what he failed to implement and what affected his failure in the last election. The author believes that one of the important factors that led to the lost presidential election was the coronavirus infection COVID-19 which led to an economic and political crisis in the country and to some extent devalued the work of Donald Trump as the head of the United States.
