On Monday, as President Donald Trump celebrates the first 50 days in office for his second term, the White House released a list of "50 WINS IN 50 DAYS." Yes, there really is 50 of them, and to do with a variety of topics with many of these "wins" adding added context.
Immigration is Trump's best issue, and it's one he's focused on throughout his presidential campaigns and while in office. His handling of such an issue enjoys strong approval ratings, and Americans also approve of his deportation program. When Trump was running in 2024, whether it was against President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris, he had a clear edge on this top of mind issue. It should come as no surprise, then, that many of these wins had to do with immigration, including how:
- President Trump secured the border in unprecedented fashion.
- President Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law
- President Trump is deporting illegal immigrant killers, rapists, and drug dealers en masse.
- President Trump is taking on the fentanyl crisis.
- President Trump ended the Biden Administration’s abuse of the illegal immigrant “parole” scheme.
- President Trump resumed construction of the border wall — adding to the more than 400 miles of border wall built during his first term.
- President Trump cracked down on so-called “sanctuary cities.”
There's still plenty more examples, including to do with America's position on the world stage, cultural issues, energy, and the economy. There's also a focus on efforts to save the American taxpayer money, and in a variety of ways.
Many of these cultural issues have to do with executive orders that Trump signed, and the Republican-controlled Congress is trying to codify into law to ensure that a woke presidential administration in the future can't mess with such accomplishments.

Such cultural wins include how Trump has:
- President Trump signed an executive order to protect children from chemical and surgical mutilation.
- President Trump ended the unfair practice of forcing women to compete against men in sports.
- President Trump ended “diversity, equity, and inclusion” initiatives.
- President Trump ended the indoctrination of American students.
- President Trump made it the official policy of the U.S. government that there are only two sexes.
- President Trump designated English as the official language of the United States.
- President Trump brought back hiring based on merit.
- President Trump expanded access to in vitro fertilization (IVF).
President Trump established the White House Faith Office to protect Americans’ religious liberties.
Most of these wins shared above, on culture and immigration, are especially in contrast to the previous Biden-Harris administration. The world stage was also made considerably less safe thanks to Biden. After the particularly chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal, Russia's Vladimir Putin felt emboldened to invade Ukraine, which, as the president has reminded and polling reflects, would not have happened if Trump were still in office then. Hamas also attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, and then Biden-Harris administration was particularly slow in responding to concerns of antisemitism, even trying to cater to both sides of the conflict, especially when Harris was the replacement nominee.
Many wins reference Biden, not only to do with the world stage, but also in how the Biden-Harris administration used weaponized government to not only go against Trump as a top political opponent, but everyday Americans:
- President Trump is bringing manufacturing back to America.
- President Trump signed an executive order to reinstate with backpay U.S. service members who were discharged under the military’s Biden-era COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
- President Trump unleashed American energy.
- President Trump ended Biden’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) export ban.
- President Trump rescinded every one of the Biden Administration’s job-killing, pro-China, anti-American energy regulations.
- President Trump is ending waste, fraud, and abuse in government.
- President Trump ended the weaponization of government against its citizens.
- President Trump reversed the lawfare against American citizens.
- President Trump is making life more affordable for everyday Americans.
- President Trump cut bureaucratic red tape.
- President Trump terminated the Biden-era electric vehicle mandate.
- President Trump raised standards for law enforcement.
- President Trump rolled back the Biden-era push to mandate paper straws.
Many of the wins mentioned in the latest roundup also reference Biden in the added details.
