HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026! Look for ANOTHER History-Making Year Under the Leadership of America’s Great President Donald Trump

Key Accomplishments of President Donald Trump’s Second Term in 2025President Trump’s second term began on January 20, 2025, and was marked by an aggressive use of executive power, with over 225 executive orders signed by late December—the highest number in modern history for a single year. The administration implemented roughly half of the proposals from Project 2025, a conservative policy blueprint, despite Trump’s campaign distancing from it. Major themes included immigration enforcement, deregulation, tariffs and trade, government downsizing, and cultural/social policies.Immigration and Border Security

• Achieved near-zero unauthorized border crossings, with nationwide encounters down 92% from Biden-era peaks and seven straight months of minimal releases.
• Signed the Laken Riley Act and revived prior immigration policies, enabling mass deportations and raids.
• Expanded facilities like Guantanamo for migrant operations and set the refugee admission cap to a historic low of 7,500.
• Sources across the spectrum note dramatic reductions in illegal immigration, though some deportations faced legal challenges and errors (e.g., wrongful cases highlighted in reporting).

Economy and Trade

• Imposed broad tariffs, starting with a 10% universal duty on “Liberation Day” (April 2025), generating over $200 billion in revenue by year-end.
• Secured trade deals with countries including the UK, China, Indonesia, and others; facilitated resolutions in international conflicts partly through economic pressure.
• Reported economic gains: Net addition of ~671,000 jobs in the first six months, core inflation at 2.1%, significant drops in grocery prices (e.g., eggs down 53-62%), and pledges of $7.6 trillion in domestic investments.
• Passed a major reconciliation bill (“Big Beautiful Bill” or similar tax/spending package) extending 2017 tax cuts and achieving other fiscal goals, though public popularity was mixed.

Government Reform and Deregulation

• Launched the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led briefly by Elon Musk, resulting in massive federal workforce reductions (hundreds of thousands laid off) and a return to in-person work.
• Deregulation efforts claimed to save Americans $180+ billion, with major rollbacks in environmental, energy, and automobile rules.
• Cut funding to programs deemed wasteful, including defunding NPR/PBS and certain foreign aid/NGOs; weakened or restructured agencies like the Department of Education and USAID.

Social and Cultural Policies

• Ended diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across government and military; banned transgender medical procedures in the military and men in women’s sports.
• Advanced “most-favored-nation” pricing for prescription drugs, securing deals with pharma companies to lower costs (e.g., insulin at $35/month via new programs).
• Pardoned individuals related to January 6, 2021 events and anti-abortion protesters.

Foreign Policy and Other Actions

• Withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord again and paused certain green energy funding.
• Brokered peace resolutions in several conflicts (claimed “ended eight wars in eight months”).
• Advanced space policy with orders for American superiority in space exploration and defense.

Many actions faced legal challenges, market volatility (e.g., initial tariff-induced crashes), and criticism for overreach or impacts on federal workers and programs. Supporters highlight rapid delivery on campaign promises and economic stability, while critics point to disruptions, court blocks, and implementation of controversial Project 2025 elements affecting reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ policies, and agency independence. Overall, 2025 saw transformative policy shifts, substantiated by official records and widespread reporting.
