With the midterms coming, an astonishing number of Republican voters cannot name three things President Trump has accomplished. Which is remarkable when you consider that Donald Trump has accomplished more in a year and a half than any other president ever did in four.
Indeed, he has accomplished so much, so fast, across so many fronts that most people cannot keep up. The Enemedia buries the victories, while Republicans do an abysmal job of explaining them.
So here is the cheat sheet. It barely scratches the surface. And yet each and every item here is a game-changer, and your befuddled black-pilling friends need to know it.
This is not a list of promises. It's a list of laws enacted, cases won, policies implemented, agreements secured, and measurable results.
You don't have to memorize all 25. Learn five. And when somebody says Trump "hasn't done much," show them the receipts.
Trump Restored American Safety and Sovereignty
1. He made the border a real border again.
In a matter of months, Trump reduced illegal border crossings to their lowest level in half a century. Catch-and-release is finished. The wall is going up and even being expanded, "Remain in Mexico" is back, and the Administration reduced releases into the country by an incredible 99.9 percent.
2. He reversed mass migration.
America recorded negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in at least half a century. So far, nearly 3 million illegal aliens have left the country, whether voluntarily or involuntarily: more than 675,000 forcibly deported and the rest "self-deported."
Many of those self-deportations were facilitated by the President's innovative program to offer plane tickets and cash bonuses for illegals to leave, not only incentivizing good behavior but significantly reducing the cost of deportations. Citizenship and the law actually mean something again.
3. He signed the Laken Riley Act and required detention of criminal illegal aliens.
Named for an innocent girl murdered by an illegal alien, the Laken Riley Act requires federal authorities to detain illegals arrested for theft, burglary, shoplifting, assaulting police, or any crime causing death or serious injury. It also lets states sue officials who refuse to enforce it.
Laken Riley should still be alive. This law will prevent tragedies like hers.
4. History's biggest drop in violent crime, and the lowest violent crime rate in 126 years.
According to FBI data, violent crime in America dropped an incredible 9.7 percent in 2025 the largest one-year decline in history. Murder fell 18.1 percent, robbery fell 18.5 percent. And America's violent crime rate is its lowest since 1900.
This is what happens when you put the National Guard on the streets in crime-ridden blue cities: fewer victims, safer streets, and better futures for America's poorest.
Trump Launched an American Industrial Supercycle
5. He made the 2017 tax cuts permanent…and better.
The One Big Beautiful Bill locked in the largest tax cut in modern history, including the doubled standard deduction, the expanded Child Tax Credit, and 100 percent expensing for factories and equipment. It also delivered No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, an abolition of most taxes on Social Security benefits, and major relief for seniors.
Every Democrat voted no. With the 2017 act set to expire in December 2025, that would have resulted in the largest tax hike in American history.
6. He repealed 129 regulations for every new one.
In fiscal 2025, federal agencies finalized 646 deregulatory actions and just five regulatory actions: 129-to-1, and in nearly every case, the "one" was to repeal the others! OIRA says the savings exceeded those of Trump's entire first term. That is more freedom, lower costs, and less bureaucratic sabotage.
Of these, the crown jewel was the repeal of Obama's 2009 "Endangerment Finding", the legal foundation for the Green New Scam's vehicle mandates. EPA calls it the largest deregulatory action in American history and estimates that by itself, it will save Americans more than $1.3 trillion. Trump also killed the federal EV mandate, restored Americans' freedom to buy the cars and trucks they actually want, and even eliminated the incentives behind the almost universally hated start-stop button.
7. He secured $18 trillion in announced investment commitments.
That's nearly two-thirds the size of the entire American economy, building American factories, chip plants, data centers, energy projects, steel mills, shipyards, and supply chains employing American workers. Apple, Meta, NVIDIA, Micron, Hyundai, U.S. Steel, Ford, Taiwan Semiconductor, and many corporations and sovereign wealth funds are betting big on Trump's America.
No President has ever done anything remotely like it. And it's just getting started.
8. He made "reshoring" and "reindustrialization" real, not a slogan.
Ford is moving Lincoln production out of China. Toyota is shifting Tacoma production from Mexico to Texas. GM, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, and others are expanding U.S. production. The capital equipment pouring into the country is the machinery that's building the growing boom.
9. He replaced lopsided trade deals with balanced, reciprocal trade.
Trump used tariffs as leverage to reverse 80 years of lopsided trade deals that favored everyone but America, and to win new or improved agreements with trading partners accounting for more than half of global GDP. Those agreements open foreign markets, attack non-tariff barriers, defend strategic industries, and make it more profitable to build in America than to export American jobs.
10. He shifted global energy dominance from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of America.
Once the world's largest energy importer "exporting" $700 billion a year to our enemies America now outproduces Saudi Arabia and Russia combined. The U.S. is also setting new records in oil, natural gas, and LNG exports, becoming the first country ever to export more than 100 million metric tons of LNG in a year.
Trump also opened land, accelerated permits, expanded pipelines and export terminals, and made American energy a tool for prosperity and peace.
11. After four decades of nuclear paralysis, Trump brought five new reactors online in a single year.
For more than 40 years, not one new privately developed non-light-water reactor reached criticality in America. Trump ordered at least three by July 4, 2026. DOE delivered four by the deadline, then a fifth just one month later.
Decades of zero. One Trump summer: five. That is a genuine nuclear renaissance.
Trump Made Elections Matter Again
12. He broke the Deep State's power to defy the elected branches.
In Trump v. Slaughter, the Supreme Court ruled for the first time in 90 years that Article 2, Section 1 is still part of the Constitution: the President may fire subordinate officials in the executive branch, overturning the 1935 precedent that insulated "independent" agencies from voters' control.
Ever wonder why elections often seem to change nothing? How about one President and 5,000 political appointees vs. 2.8 million unfireable, unaccountable bureaucrats? THAT is the "Deep State".
Trump then made that victory real. For the first time in a century, all policy-making bureaucrats can now be fired for misconduct, incompetence, or defying lawful directives. The permanent bureaucracy no longer gets to veto the voters.
13. He ended nationwide injunction abuse.
In Trump v. CASA, the Supreme Court sharply limited nationwide injunctions. A single, local, district judge should not be able to block a national policy for everyone, everywhere; and yet that's exactly what they've done, nonstop, ever since Trump (and only Trump) took office in 2017.
In restricting that unconstitutional power, the Court kneecapped the Black Robe Bureaucracy's favorite tool of unlawful judicial supremacy.
14. He shut down USAID as a left-wing slush fund and shadow government.
USAID had become a taxpayer-funded machine for exporting abortion, gender ideology, censorship, and left-wing politics. It had a bigger budget than the CIA and the State Department combined, absolutely no accountability whatsoever, and a penchant for overthrowing governments.
Trump terminated it completely and moved real humanitarian aid under the State Department. Immediately, seven socialist Latin American governments lost re-election. Coincidence?
15. He shrank Federal employment to its lowest level in 60 years.
From a high under Biden, the federal workforce is now its smallest since 1966. Workforce reductions, agency closures, and spending cancellations mean fewer bureaucrats paid to resist the voters.
What's more, when Biden left office, 94 percent of federal employees "worked" from home. The Trump administration cracked down: as Elon Musk put it, "you can work from the office or you can pretend to work somewhere else."
16. He expelled DEI from the federal government.
Trump eliminated federal DEI offices and barred race- and sex-based preferences across the executive branch. Government hiring and contracting are returning to merit and equality under the law, ending the grotesque Democrat idea that "fighting discrimination" requires the federal government to discriminate.
He Defended Faith and Family
17. He delivered sweeping pro-life reform.
In his first term, Trump delivered the judges that overturned the abominable Roe v. Wade. Hardly anyone believed it could be done, or that Trump would do it. But he did, and a half-century nightmare finally ended.
Since returning to office, Trump has enforced the Hyde Amendment prohibiting the use of federal funds to pay for abortions, reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy prohibiting federal funding of foreign abortions, ended federal fetal-tissue research, strengthened conscience protections, protected Medicaid from funding large abortion providers, and pardoned 23 pro-life activists prosecuted by Biden's weaponized Justice Department.
He's also done everything within the Executive Branch's power to defund Planned Parenthood. It would be nice if Congress did likewise.
No President has ever done more to protect life. No one.
18. He got men out of women's sports, and restored biological reality to federal policy.
The United States government once again officially recognizes two sexes: male and female. Trump ended federal support for the chemical and surgical gender mutilation of children, stopped taxpayer funding of such irreversible abominations, and forced more than three dozen health systems to end or suspend their programs as well.
Trump also enforced Title IX as written: women and girls deserve their own teams, trophies, scholarships, and locker rooms. The NCAA and other athletic organizations changed their rules in response. After years of Democrats doing everything they could to destroy women's sports and ruin girls' lives, Trump's administration protects women and girls again.
19. He enacted America's first nationwide school-choice program and launched Trump Accounts.
As part of the President's One Big Beautiful Bill, Trump enacted America's first-ever nationwide school choice program. The new Education Freedom Tax Credit helps fund scholarships for tuition, books, and other educational costs.
That's on top of the new Trump Accounts, which give every child a tax-advantaged stake in America's future, including a $1,000 federal seed for eligible newborns. Parents gain power. Bureaucracies lose it. And children learn first-hand about free markets and future orientation.
20. He targeted anti-Christian bias and discrimination.
Trump created the White House Faith Office, Religious Liberty Commission, and Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias. He restored conscience protections and made clear that Christians do not surrender their First Amendment rights merely by entering public life.
He Restored Peace Through Strength and Put America First
21. He forced NATO to stop freeloading and increase defense spending by 250 percent.
For decades, wealthy European governments underfunded their militaries, effectively sending America the bill and using American taxpayers to subsidize their bloated welfare states. Trump forced NATO to replace its old two-percent-of-GDP spending target with an enormous five percent by 2035.
Allied spending is rising, American defense orders are soaring, and Europe is becoming a partner instead of a dependent.
22. He drove China out of the Caribbean.
China spent years building strategic beachheads at both ends of the Panama Canal, in Cuba, and in Maduro's Venezuela. Trump forced Panama out of Belt and Road, expanded American security access around the Canal, and captured Maduro, who now sits in a New York jail cell awaiting trial.
Beijing's planned encirclement of the United States collapsed. The Monroe Doctrine is back. Call it the Donroe Doctrine.
23. He brokered eight peace deals in just eight months.
In eight months, Trump brokered peace in eight conflicts spanning four continents, including wars that had gone on for as much as 40 years. It's a record unmatched by any other President.
24. He launched and funded Golden Dome, the first-ever true missile defense for the U.S. population.
Ronald Reagan dreamed of making nuclear missiles obsolete through his Strategic Defense Initiative. Today, Trump is actually building it: a layered homeland shield with space-based sensors and interceptors, conventional defenses, and new technologies including microwave systems to destroy drone swarms and directed-energy weapons (yes, lasers) that can replace an $11 million missile with $2 of electricity.
Congress has funded the initial $25 billion, with far more on the way once it passes the NDAA this fall. Better a shield than a sword.
25. He restored the warrior ethos and reversed the recruiting crisis.
After years of missed targets under Biden, every active military component met or exceeded its 2025 recruiting goal. Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refocused the newly renamed Department of War on actually winning wars, while pouring resources into shipbuilding, munitions, drones, missile defense, and America's atrophied industrial base.
Young Americans once again believe their Commander-in-Chief is worth serving. And they're showing up en masse.
Now Act Like It Matters
Those are not tweets or campaign promises. They are changes in law, power, investment, sovereignty, culture, and the structure of the Republic itself. And they're just the top 25: I could give you hundreds more.
Midterms are turnout elections. We do not need to convince Democrats to love Donald Trump. We need Republicans and friendly independents to understand what is at stake and to show up.
25 More Trump Achievements:
The Top 25 barely scratched the surface. Here are 25 more laws, victories, reforms, and measurable results from the most consequential Presidency of the modern era.
My original list of Trump's Top 25 achievements was supposed to be a cheat sheet. Instead, it drew a million views on X, thousands of new followers, and coverage from Dan Bongino's show to Roger Stone's.
Why? Because millions know something extraordinary is happening, but almost no one gives them the receipts. The Enemedia buries every victory. Republicans announce today's win and forget yesterday's. Voters sense that Trump is transforming the country but can't explain how.
So here's the sequel. These are achievements, not promises.
You don't have to memorize all 25. Learn five. And when somebody says Trump "hasn't done much," show them how wrong they are.
Trump Restored Speech, Sovereignty, and Safety
1. He dismantled the federal censorship machine at homeand confronted government censorship abroad.
On his first day back in office, Trump prohibited federal employees and agencies from coercing or paying private companies to censor constitutionally protected speech. He ordered an investigation of the Biden Administration's abuses, gutted CISA's censorship apparatus, and made free speech a foreign-policy priority. He also imposed visa restrictions on foreign officials and NGO operatives who pressured American platforms to silence Americans.
2. He ended state-run "public" broadcasting.
Not only was government unconstitutionally censoring Americans' free speech: it was subsidizing Democrats' talking points. Republicans have talked for decades, but Trump delivered, cutting off funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Now PBS and NPR must compete for audiences and donors like everyone else.
3. He ended catch-and-release.
Sealing the border was No. 1 in my first list. But what happened after illegal aliens were caught deserves its own place. Under Biden, arrest often meant a bus ticket, a court date years away, and easy disappearance into the country.
Under Trump, it means detention and removal. The Border Patrol has now recorded 15 consecutive months without releasing a single apprehended illegal alien into America.
4. He helped drive fentanyl traffickingand fentanyl deathssharply downward.
Under President Trump, fentanyl trafficking at the southern border fell 56 percent compared with the same period in 2024. CDC figures showed synthetic-opioid deaths falling from 48,913 in 2024 to 38,084 in 2025 a 22 percent plunge.
5. He designated the cartels as terroristsand took the counter-narcotics war to sea.
Trump designated eight cartels and transnational criminal organizations as terrorist groups, thus unlocking powerful sanctions, intelligence, and enforcement tools. He stopped treating them like ordinary criminals and started treating them as the government-sponsored paramilitary forces they actually are.
The Coast Guard also set an all-time record, seizing nearly 510,000 pounds of cocaine across the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean in fiscal 2025, and blowing up even more.
6. He crushed Washington, D.C.'s violent-crime wave.
Trump refused to let America's capital remain a cesspool of murders, rapes, carjackings, and municipal incompetence. He flooded Washington with federal law-enforcement resources and forced cooperation among police, prosecutors, and federal agencies. One year later, homicides are down 45 percent, carjackings 64 percent, and authorities have seized nearly 2,000 illegal guns.
Urban violence disproportionately victimizes the poor. Restoring order is not oppression: it's liberation.
7. He restored Second Amendment rights.
Trump ordered the entire executive branch to identify and reverse policies that infringed the right to keep and bear arms. DOJ created a Second Amendment Enforcement Task Force. ATF repealed Biden's punitive "Zero Tolerance" policy for gun dealers and other unreasonable restrictions on selling firearms.
Then Trump's DOJ filed the first affirmative civil-rights lawsuit in Department history, forcing Los Angeles County to end nine-month delays for concealed-carry permits. It also restored the congressionally authorized process through which deserving Americans may regain federal firearms rights and zeroed out the $200 federal tax on suppressors.
Trump Encouraged Work, Savings, and Ownership
8. He ended federal income tax on tips and overtime pay.
Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill allows eligible workers to deduct up to $25,000 in qualified tips through 2028. It also created a deduction for the overtime premium up to $12,500 for an individual or $25,000 for a married couple. It's hard to think of a more pro-working-class reform than that.
9. He eliminated the tax on Social Security for nearly all seniors.
Under the One Big Beautiful Bill, seniors may deduct an additional $6,000 apiece or $12,000 for a qualifying married couple. For most seniors, that eliminates federal income tax on retirement income, including Social Security.
The fact that Democrats taxed Social Security in the first place is obscene. Trump reversed it.
10. He made Opportunity Zones permanent.
Trump's Opportunity Zones steer private capital toward distressed communities by rewarding long-term investment. The One Big Beautiful Bill made them permanent and established recurring qualifying rounds, giving investors and local leaders the certainty to build for decades.
The Left's answer to poverty is always another federal program. Trump's is capital, ownership, businesses, homes, and jobs.
11. He protected farms and family businesses from the death tax.
The death tax can force a grieving family to sell family farms, homes, and businesses just to pay Washington. But Trump made it easier to pass a lifetime's work and dreams on to the next generation. He increased the federal estate-and-gift-tax exclusion to $15 million per person in 2026, with inflation adjustments and no scheduled expiration potentially $30 million for a married couple.
Trump Put Families and Good Health First
12. He expanded Health Savings Accounts and created a $50 billion rural-health fund.
Thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill, millions more Americans can use Health Savings Accounts. The result? More personal control and fewer gatekeepers between doctor and patient.
Trump also created a $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program, reversing years of rural hospital closures under Biden.
13. He used TrumpRx and most-favored-nation agreements to force down drug prices.
For decades, Americans paid the world's highest drug prices while socialist governments imposed price controls and freeloaded on American innovation. Trump turned that arrangement on its head, securing most-favored-nation agreements with 26 drugmakers covering 89 percent of the branded-drug market.
It's not a price control: it's the end of a free ride. Foreign governments must now pay more for American drugs so Americans can pay less.
Moreover, the President's new TrumpRx program gives patients direct access to steep discounts. Patients have already saved more than $700 million, while the latest nine deals added $19.6 billion in American manufacturing commitments.
14. He turned MAHA from a slogan into reality.
Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and MAHA forced a reckoning. HHS and FDA began moving manufacturers away from petroleum-based dyes, approved natural alternatives, changed labeling rules, and created a public tracker of corporate promises.
For the first time in generations, Washington is asking why American children are fat and sick and fixing the problem instead of prescribing another drug.
15. He prioritized adoption and family formation.
Trump made the adoption tax credit partly refundable, allowing eligible families to receive up to $5,000 per adopted child even when they owe less tax. He also raised tax-free dependent-care assistance from $5,000 to $7,500 in 2026. Trump is forcing government to stop making it harder to adopt, care for dependents, or build families.
16. He stood up for victims of revenge porn and sexual deepfakes.
The TAKE IT DOWN Act criminalized specified nonconsensual intimate imagery, including AI-generated sexual deepfakes. Covered platforms must now provide a reporting process and must remove all qualifying images within 48 hours. Perps go to prison.
17. He stopped federal support for dangerous gain-of-function research in sketchy foreign labs.
Wuhan should have ended this debate. Instead, the Fauci-led bureaucracy doubled down on reckless experimentation and dangerous gain-of-function research, not just in the United States but in sketchy foreign labs, even in China. Trump put a stop to it, terminating projects in countries of concern and suspending other high-risk programs.
Trump Built America's Economic Future
18. He turned valuable access to the world's largest consumer market into leverage and revenue.
Washington treated access to the richest consumer market on Earth into a global entitlement, while allowing them to maintain huge trade barriers against U.S. producers. Trump turned that on its head. By January 2026, the Administration reported $300 billion in gross tariff collections.
The President used those tariffs to negotiate new trade deals with countries representing two-thirds of the global economy. In the process, he opened their markets, increased their purchases of U.S. energy, farm produce, and goods, supported industries vital to national security, and made companies begin building factories here.
19. He began breaking China's rare-earth chokehold.
China dominates the minerals and magnets inside everything from smartphones to submarines. It controls 92 percent of global rare-earths refining. That's not free trade: It's a strategic hostage situation.
Trump's Pentagon partnered with MP Materials to expand American rare-earth separation and magnet production, backed by long-term purchases and a domestic price floor. He also made deals with allied nations to bring their own production and refining online.
20. He created a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and made America the center of digital finance.
Trump created a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve by ordering the government to keep, rather than auction off, Bitcoin forfeited in criminal and civil cases. He also championed and signed the GENIUS Act, America's first national framework for dollar-backed stablecoins, replacing Biden's war on crypto with rules establishing global leadership and dollar dominance.
A stablecoin is a digital dollar that anyone with a smartphone can hold and spend, anywhere on Earth, without all the expensive banking fees. Under Trump's law, the companies issuing those coins must back them with safe dollar assets, especially short-term U.S. Treasuries. So as stablecoins spread, they expand the dollar's reach and dominance, even in countries with strict currency controls.
In short: instead of depending on the goodwill of foreign central banks, America can distribute the dollar system directly to billions of people and businesses.
21. He launched the AI Action Plan and Genesis Mission.
Trump's AI Action Plan attacks the energy, permitting, infrastructure, and regulatory bottlenecks that could hand this century's most important technology to China. Genesis brings federal data, national labs, supercomputers, and private AI companies together to accelerate discovery. So far, the Energy Department has secured more than $800 million in partner commitments.
22. He restored the Moon to the center of American national strategy.
Trump ordered America back to the Moon by 2028, with initial elements of a permanent base at its strategically vital South Pole by 2030. He also directed development of space-based nuclear power and nuclear rockets, and greater use of America's unmatched commercial-space industry.
The Moon is the high ground of twenty-first-century industry, science, logistics, and defense the first great arena of Astropolitics. Trump gave America the means to beat China and make the future free.
Trump Reasserted American Power Around the World
23. He brought American hostages home.
By March 2026, the Administration had secured the release of 105 detained Americans. Marc Fogel came home after years in a Russian prison. George Glezmann came home after two years in Taliban captivity. So did prisoners held by Hamas, Belarus, Venezuela, and others.
24. He replaced foreign aid with investment and trade.
For a century, Washington measured compassion by how many dollars it spent, regardless of the often abysmal results. Trump put a stop to that: his "Trade Over Aid" doctrine offers not a handout but investment, markets, infrastructure, and partnership.
The December 2025 agreement with the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a perfect example. It tied American investment to secure critical-mineral supply chains. This creates Congolese jobs and infrastructure while rewarding American investors and securing American supply chains. It also rescues impoverished Third World countries from Chinese Communist debt traps.
25. He launched a $76.6 billion American undersea buildup and began rebuilding the shipyards to sustain it.
China is on track to outnumber the U.S. submarine fleet by 2030. Biden did nothing about it. But in July 2026, Trump's Navy awarded contracts for five Columbia-class ballistic-missile submarines and nine Block VI Virginia-class attack submarines. The package totals $76.6 billion an historic contract allowing shipbuilders to expand production lines and train skilled workers.
The President also ordered plans for a fifth Navy shipyard the first new one in more than 80 years along with acquisition, workforce, and repair reforms.
Now Act Like It Matters
Trump produced all of these "25 more" accomplishments in just a year and a half, while also accumulating that earlier Top 25 achievements list, accomplishments so consequential that these didn't make the original cut.
The Republican Party's greatest political problem this fall is not a lack of victories. It's that too many Republicans have no idea what or how much they've accomplished.
It's up to each of us to tell our story. Donald Trump is delivering great things, whether or not heaven on earth has broken out quite yet. Do the work, send him the team he needs to finish the job, and then get ready for 2028.
Take the time to learn at least five of these victories. Share this list with someone who needs it. Take friends to the polls. And vote as though the most consequential Presidency in modern history depends on what you do.
Because it does.
