President Donald Trump

The Trump effect refers to events and trends that have occurred due to the election or influence of Donald Trump as United States President.

Insourcing and American jobs

The Trump effect includes voluntary actions by American companies to make America great again by not moving manufacturing jobs to other countries, after Donald Trump championed this issue in his successful campaign for president in 2016.

Recognition of bias by the mainstream media

The Trump effect includes an overwhelming loss in trust by the public in the mainstream media, with the vast majority of people recognizing now that the media frequently lies to the public and is thoroughly tainted by liberal bias.[1]

Illegal immigration

Illegal immigration declined dramatically after Trump took office.[2][3] According to data released early in Trump's presidency, illegal border crossings decreased by 40% in the first month of Trump's presidency – a remarkable achievement, considering that illegal immigration usually increases by 10 to 20% in January and February.[4][5] In March, illegal immigration had fallen by over 60%.[6] By Trump's 100th day in office, levels were reported to have fallen by 73%.[7][8] The declining trend of border apprehensions (an indicator of the level of illegal immigration) continued through May.[9] It was reported in April that illegal immigration levels had fallen to the lowest point in 17 years.[8][10][11]

It was reported in May that the number of child illegal immigrants entering the nation monthly had fallen below 1,000, the first time in several years, and that total illegal immigration levels had fallen by 76%.[12] In six months, the illegal immigration of Haitians, specifically, into the U.S. declined by 97%.[13] Although not solely due to President Trump, illegal immigration from Cuba dropped dramatically in the beginning of Trump's presidency.[14] Illegal immigration dropped so much that U.S. Customs and Border Protection was able to close one of their temporary holding facilities.[15] As another illustration, a non-profit shelter organization for illegal immigrants, Southwest Key Programs, was forced to lay off nearly 1,000 of its employees due to the drop.[16] The drop in illegal immigration was probably due to the Trump effect[2][17][18] and tougher illegal immigration and deportation policies by the Homeland Security Department.[19][20]

Illegal immigration levels rose in June 2017, but they were still much lower than the previous year and at a six-year low.[21]

Foreign effects

The Trump effect also includes actions by foreign dictators to stop lying to the world, as when Cuba finally admitted that Fidel Castro was dead after ten years of denying it. The communist dictator did this just before President-elect Trump was to receive a briefing by the Obama Administration, which has long known that Fidel was dead as demonstrated by how Obama did not even mention, let alone meet, Fidel during Obama's trip to Cuba in early 2016.
