President Donald Trump published a list of 25 claimed accomplishments on Truth Social on Friday, branding them the record of what he called his “term three” as Republicans brace for a difficult November election.
The post credited his administration with securing “the most secure border in history,” claiming zero illegal entries into the United States over the past 16 months, and with cutting refugee admissions from what he described as dangerous places. Trump also claimed his administration had “obliterated Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity” through military operations he named Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury, asserting the strikes would ensure Iran “will NEVER have a nuclear weapon.”
The Eastern Updates has gathered that the list, which Trump titled his “Top 25 Trump Achievements,” spans immigration enforcement, tax and tariff policy, military action against Iran and Venezuela, and a set of socially conservative measures rolled into a single document posted without independent verification of the underlying figures.
Among the other entries, Trump claimed credit for the capture of former Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro through an operation he called Absolute Resolve, and for what he described as eight resolved conflicts secured through “historic peace deals” in his first 12 months back in office, including an agreement covering the war in Gaza. He also pointed to tariffs imposed on trading partners, which he said were designed to “bring back American Manufacturing,” alongside claims of record stock market performance and a steep drop in illegal border crossings.

None of the figures in the post have been verified against independent government data, and several of the claims — including the characterization of Iran’s nuclear program as fully dismantled — describe outcomes of an ongoing military conflict that has not been formally concluded.
The timing of the post lands amid signs of political strain for Trump’s party. Polling has repeatedly shown the war involving Iran, Israel and the United States, along with the higher fuel and consumer prices that have followed it, weighing on the Republican Party’s standing ahead of the midterms. Multiple forecasts suggest Republicans risk losing control of the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate as well, a result that would constrain Trump’s agenda for the remainder of his term.
A Marquette Law School survey conducted this month found that voters’ top concerns cluster heavily around economic conditions rather than the foreign policy and border security wins Trump highlighted. Roughly one in six respondents named the economy as their leading concern, while about one in ten cited the Iran conflict directly. Medicare and Social Security drew comparable attention, at roughly nine percent, while immigration and border security registered support from about six percent of those surveyed and crime trailed further behind at three percent.
That data suggests the tax, investment, employment and prescription-drug claims embedded in Trump’s list — five entries touching directly on household finances — are more likely to resonate with voters than the immigration and foreign policy entries that dominate the post’s opening lines. The polling does not indicate whether voters accept Trump’s claims as accurate, only that the underlying subject matter overlaps with what respondents say matters most heading into November.

Trump’s list arrives against the backdrop of an immigration enforcement campaign that has included frequent deportations and the transfer of migrants the United States cannot legally return to their home countries to third countries, some of which have received compensation for accepting them. Human rights groups have criticized aspects of that program, though the practice continues under the administration’s border policy.
The war with Iran, which began in February under justifications the administration has revised over time, has rattled global markets and drawn the wider Middle East deeper into conflict, undercutting a campaign pledge Trump made not to entangle the United States in additional foreign wars. Fuel prices tied to the conflict have factored into consumer costs that Republicans are now contending with heading into the election.
Trump has not said whether he plans to expand on the list before Election Day or address the specific findings of the polls showing his highlighted achievements diverge from voters’ stated priorities. The Truth Social post remained pinned to his account as of Friday, with no follow-up statement from the White House press office addressing the discrepancy between the administration’s messaging and the polling data.
