President Donald Trump has completed 50 days of his second term in office, during which the White House has highlighted 50 significant achievements. These accomplishments span various policy areas, including immigration, where Trump has secured the border with a 94% drop in illegal crossings from last February and a 96% decrease from the all-time high during the Biden Administration, with a 99% reduction in one sector. Trump also signed the Laken Riley Act into law. On the economic front, the administration has secured billions in new U.S.-based investments, including $500 billion from Apple for 20,000 new jobs, $100 billion from TSMC for semiconductor manufacturing, and a historic $500 billion AI infrastructure project. Other notable investments include $20 billion from DAMAC Properties, $20 billion from CMA CGM, $27 billion from Eli Lilly, $18 billion from Venture Global, $6 billion from Clarios, $600 billion from Saudi Arabia over four years, and a pledge from Taiwan to boost its investment in the U.S.
On the cultural front, Trump has signed executive orders to protect children from chemical and surgical mutilation, end diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and designate English as the official language of the United States. The administration has also focused on energy, ending the Biden-era liquefied natural gas export ban and rescinding regulations deemed job-killing and pro-China.
Internationally, Trump's policies have aimed at promoting world peace and reforming the federal bureaucracy. Domestically, efforts have been made to end waste, fraud, and abuse in government, including the establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to maximize government productivity and save taxpayer funds. The administration has also revitalized FEMA's efforts in rebuilding North Carolina after Hurricane Helene, overridden environmental red tape in California following devastating wildfires, and reopened a section of Interstate 40 between North Carolina and Tennessee three times faster and cheaper than expected.
President Trump listed numerous triumphs in his speech to Congress last week as part of his effort to create a new “golden age” in America. In reality, it’s all fool’s gold, writes Jacob Heilbrunn. https://t.co/NTnbAiBLYe
The White House announced that Trump won 50 victories in 50 days in office. Like China and North Korea, they are moving from victory to victory every day. https://t.co/bZEEOAapLF
