Trump’s First Year in His Second Term Marks Historic Successes in Immigration, Economy, and National Security with Record Deportations, GDP Growth to 4.3%, and Inflation Reduction

 Donald J. Trump returned to the White House with a clear objective: restore America’s greatness, stop the invasion at the southern border, and reverse the damage inflicted by the Biden-Harris administration, marked by socialist policies that weakened the economy and national security.

One year later, on this January 20, 2026, the results speak for themselves. Trump has fulfilled key promises at an unprecedented speed, signing more than 225 executive orders that have transformed the country.

While desperate Democrats attempt to tarnish his achievements, the facts demonstrate bold leadership that prioritizes hardworking Americans over globalist interests and woke agendas.

In immigration, the first year has been a resounding triumph against the disaster inherited from Biden. ICE arrests have increased from 300 to more than 1,000 per day, with deportations that have doubled, focused on criminals from countries like Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela, and El Salvador.

Net negative immigration was achieved for the first time in 50 years, reversing a half-century trend, and 100% of net job growth has gone to native-born Americans. Apprehensions at the southern border fell to historic levels, with only 90,084 in the first year, less than the monthly average under Biden.

Trump imposed tariffs on Mexico and Canada to force cooperation, eliminating funding to sanctuary cities and declaring a national emergency at the border, which has restored sovereign control and protected communities from crime imported by the left’s open-door policies.

Economically, Trump has unleashed a boom that disproves the catastrophic predictions of liberal economists. GDP grew 4.3% in the third quarter of 2025, exceeding expectations, driven by massive bureaucratic cuts that eliminated more than 270,000 unnecessary federal positions.

Inflation dropped from 3% to 2.7%, with food prices stabilized despite initial increases in meat and coffee. $287 billion was collected in tariffs, a 192% increase, funding investments and reducing drug prices for Americans.

The «One Big Beautiful Bill» law, signed on July 4, 2025, made the 2017 tax cuts permanent, eliminated taxes on tips, and created Trump accounts for savings.

Reshored investments reached trillions, with trade deals that strengthened the U.S. position against China and Iran, while the left laments the end of their subsidies to bloated bureaucracies.

In foreign policy and security, Trump has restored the global respect lost under Biden. Military actions in Venezuela captured Maduro, and in Iran halted nuclear threats.

Peace agreements ended multiple wars, with record energy production and reforms in foreign aid. DEI programs were eliminated in the government, promoting merit over divisive ideology, and English was designated as the official language.

The homicide rate fell to the lowest level on record, thanks to deportations of criminals and greater law enforcement.

Trump fulfilled every major campaign promise, from secure borders to strength on the world stage, contrasting with the failure of former Democratic administrations that prioritized globalist agendas over American welfare.

This initial year proves that Donald J. Trump is, without a doubt, the strong and decisive leader that the United States needed to reverse the decline imposed by years of failed policies.
