President Trump Celebrates Historic Achievements in First Six Months of Second Term
by Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Staff
(Worthy News) – The White House released a press statment celebrating what President Donald J. Trump described as “the most successful first six months in modern American history.” The report outlined a wide range of accomplishments across domestic policy, the economy, foreign affairs, and national security, which the administration says have fundamentally reshaped the nation’s direction.
Among the administration’s top legislative victories is the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which delivered the most significant tax cut in U.S. history. The legislation boosted Americans’ take-home pay by as much as $13,300 and terminated federal benefits for at least 1.4 million illegal immigrants. A separate rescissions package cut $9 billion in politically controversial programs, including foreign aid expenditures and funding for NPR and PBS.
On the economic front, inflation has stabilized, with core rates hovering at just 2.1%–levels not seen since Trump’s first term. The U.S. economy added over 670,000 new jobs since January 2025, driven entirely by native-born employment gains. Gas prices reached their lowest point since 2021, and the wholesale price of eggs has dropped by more than 60% from last year’s peak. Tariff collections generated $90 billion this year alone, with the U.S. Treasury posting its first June surplus since 2006.
President Trump also touted an unprecedented rollback in federal regulations, saving families an estimated $2,100 and consumers over $1 trillion in future automobile-related costs. The administration’s deregulatory momentum was matched by record levels of investment, with over $7.6 trillion in pledges from companies and foreign governments. In energy, Trump’s emergency declaration triggered the fastest approval rate of oil and gas drilling permits in recent years, outpacing the Biden administration by 44%.
The border has seen historic change. June set a record low for illegal crossings, with just 6,070 encounters. No illegal immigrants were released on parole that month, down from nearly 28,000 a year earlier. ICE deportations hit record highs, including the removal of over 600 suspected terrorists and the arrest of more than 100,000 criminal aliens. The administration also designated several Latin American cartels as terrorist organizations.
Internationally, Trump’s diplomacy yielded ceasefires between Israel and Iran, and India and Pakistan, as well as peace talks in Africa. He secured an agreement for NATO nations to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP and signed major trade and resource agreements with the U.K., Ukraine, China, and Indonesia. The dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program and his ongoing peace efforts have earned him three nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Trump administration also advanced a robust social and cultural agenda. Executive orders banned gender surgeries for minors, restored protections for women’s sports, and halted taxpayer-funded DEI programs. Major hospital networks and school systems swiftly followed suit. The “Make America Healthy Again” campaign prompted 35% of the U.S. food industry to phase out artificial dyes.
President Trump’s legislative portfolio includes the GENIUS Act, the Laken Riley Act, the Halt Fentanyl Act, and the Take It Down Act. Meanwhile, the military services surpassed recruitment targets months ahead of schedule, and the U.S. has emerged as a global leader in AI, securing over $1 trillion in AI-related investments — $90 billion of which is flowing into Pennsylvania alone.
In judicial and institutional victories, the Supreme Court backed administration policies on border security and executive authority. Foreign relations experienced a revival of U.S. prominence, with President Trump hosting or meeting with 23 global leaders — far outpacing his predecessors in engagement during the same timeframe.
With the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting record highs and the U.S. on track for its lowest murder rate in history, President Trump closed his remarks with optimism. “America is back. Stronger, safer, wealthier, and freer than ever before,” he declared. “And we’re just getting started.”
