It’s not every week a former president can rack up a list of political, legal, economic, and diplomatic wins long enough to make his critics squirm.
But here we are.
According to CNN contributor Scott Jennings, last week may have been the best week of Donald Trump’s presidency.
This was the BEST week of the Trump presidency (maybe any presidency!)

Five major events tell the story. Taken together, they paint a picture of a political comeback that’s not just surviving the headlines – it’s rewriting them.
First up: the Supreme Court.
On July 1, the high court ruled that presidents have broad immunity for official actions.
This was less about Trump and more about restoring the balance of power. After years of judicial activism and partisan probes, the Court reminded everyone that the executive branch is not a punching bag.
Cue the constitutional scholars nodding in approval. Critics wailed that it was a step too far, supporters countered that it was long overdue.
Then came the economy.
After Trump’s re-election in November 2024, the stock market soared.
All three major indexes hit record highs. The Russell 2000 (often seen as a proxy for small business) posted its biggest jump in years. Investors were betting on tax relief, regulatory rollbacks, and a White House that actually cheers private enterprise.
It’s not trickle-down economics; it’s stop-the-stifling-bureaucracy economics.
On the foreign front, things have gotten even more interesting.
A U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Iran cooled tensions after a short but dangerous military flare-up. Sure, the airstrikes didn’t eliminate Iran’s nuclear sites, but they did put the program on ice for now.
More importantly, Trump got the two sides to pause – a diplomatic feat few believed possible.
Just days later, the White House hosted another historic handshake; this time between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
After years of bloodshed and broken talks, the two African nations signed a peace agreement in Washington, D.C. Skeptics warned the ink might dry faster than the troops can withdraw, but even they had to admit it’s a step toward stability.
Finally, something closer to home: gas prices.
They hit a four-year low.
Maybe it’s energy policy. Maybe it’s market forces. Either way, Americans filling up their tanks noticed. That’s the kind of good news that doesn’t need a press conference.
None of these events stand alone.
Together, they tell a story about conservative priorities in action: a strong executive, peace through strength, a thriving market, and cheaper living costs.
Even Trump’s sharpest opponents may begrudgingly admitting it: the guy had a heck of a week.
