Trump posted the list on Truth Social on Friday, accompanying it with two images detailing the 25 points. Although he is serving his second presidential term, Trump referred to the record as “TERM THREE”.
“Achieved the most secure border in history - ZERO illegal aliens admitted to the United States in the past 16 months,” Trump wrote, while also citing the Laken Riley Act and claiming his administration had achieved the “largest drop in the murder rate EVER recorded”.
On the economy, Trump highlighted what he called “the largest tax cuts in American History” through the Great Big Beautiful Bill, including “No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, and No Tax on Social Security for our great seniors”.
He also claimed to have secured commitments for “$19.2 trillion dollars of new investment in the United States” and said tariffs had been imposed to “bring back American Manufacturing”.
Trump listed “50% tariffs on foreign copper, aluminum, and steel” and “25% tariffs on foreign automobiles” among the measures he said had supported that objective.
His list also focused heavily on foreign policy and military operations. Trump claimed the US had “obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity” through Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Epic Fury, saying the measures would ensure Iran would “NEVER have a nuclear weapon”.
He also claimed the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, military strikes against drug cartels and the settlement of “8 raging wars with historic peace deals”. Trump also claimed he had halted all refugee admissions to the United States, "including from Somalia and other dangerous places."
On social policy, Trump said his administration had “Abolished all discriminatory ‘Diversity, Equity, Inclusion’ (DEI) policies”, “Banned MEN from playing in women's sports” and “Made English the Official Language of the United States”.
Trump also cited lower prescription-drug prices, increased military spending, energy production, exports and the launch of Trump Accounts for children.
The claims come as economic concerns remain central to the US political debate. A Fox News poll conducted from September 11-14 found 34 per cent of registered voters identified the cost of living as the country's most important issue, followed by the economy and jobs at 14 per cent.
A Marquette Law School poll conducted earlier this month similarly found inflation and the cost of living remained the top concern, while Trump’s approval on inflation stood at 19 per cent.
