Trump Admin – 365 Wins in 365 Days Back in Office are Wins for the People
What a difference an election makes

What a difference an election makes. President Donald Trump and his administration hit the ground running, with a mandate to restore prosperity, secure the border, rebuild American strength, and put the American people first.
What a difference an election makes. We went from open borders and record crime to negative net migration for the first time in 50 years to the largest homicide drop on record.
Trump imposed tariffs to restore trade balance and in return the U.S. has received trillions in reshored investments.
He’s brokered peace deals ending multiple wars. We have record energy production (not in California) and he’s made massive cuts to the federal bureaucracy.
President Trump has put America First with urgency.
Many of his “wins” are also wins for Californians, despite the Democrat Supermajority and Governor Gavin Newsom. Imagine what California could be with a governor and Legislature that loved the state more than the perks and lifestyle from being in elected office.
Here are just some of the highlights from President Trump’s first 365 days back in office including one you may not be aware of… President Trump signed an executive order to end the use of paper straws:

- Removed more than 2.6 million illegal aliens from the United States through deportations and voluntary self-departures.
- Carried out over 650,000 arrests, detentions, and deportations of illegal aliens — including the worst of the worst criminal illegal alien killers, rapists, gang members, and repeat offenders.

- Cut the number of new foreign students in the U.S. by 17%.
- Removed 275,000 illegal aliens from Social Security rolls, protecting program integrity.
