Key Takeaways
- President Trump claims to have halted all refugee admissions and made English the official language.
- He also asserts achieving the most secure border in history and obliterating Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity.
- These claims come as polls show his approval ratings are low, with midterm elections looming.
President Donald Trump has released a list of 25 'top achievements' in a bid to boost his low approval ratings ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
In a lengthy post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump highlighted several areas of his administration, including immigration, foreign policy, and the economy.
He claimed that 'ZERO illegal aliens' were admitted to the United States in the past 16 months and that his administration had slashed refugee admissions from 'dangerous places'.
Trump also emphasized his administration's efforts to secure the border, stating, 'achieved the most secure border in history'.
In the realm of foreign policy, Trump asserted that the US had 'obliterated Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity', ensuring the Islamic republic 'will NEVER have a nuclear weapon'.
This claim was made in the context of the February US-Israeli strikes on Tehran, which have had significant economic and geopolitical impacts.
The president also boasted about hefty tariffs imposed on US trading partners, claiming they were intended to 'bring back American manufacturing'.
However, these efforts have not been without controversy, with frequent deportations and the shipping of people to third countries often criticized.
Polls indicate that Trump's approval ratings are low, with the unpopular war in Iran and rising fuel and other prices hurting his Republican Party.
The midterm elections, scheduled for November, are expected to be challenging for the president, with polls suggesting the party could lose control of the House and possibly the Senate.
