Domestically as well, Trump’s second term has taken a bizarre focus on projects such as the White House ballroom, and a debacle with maintenance work on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool which saw the historic monument clogged up with algae.

Trump’s second stint in the White House has also seen ramped up immigration raids across the US, most infamously in Democrat-controlled Minnesota where intensive care nurse Alex Pretti and poet and mum of three Renée Good, both US citizens, were shot dead by ICE agents.

The US midterms have been seen by many as a big test for Trump in his second presidency, and the result sends a clear message that voters have swung massively away from the Republican party.
