The White House marked President Donald Trump’s 200th day in office on Thursday.
And his top deputy is insisting that it has been more productive than his whirlwind first 100 days milestone.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Daily Mail that the president was only exceeding his efforts in office after settling into his groove on Pennsylvania Avenue.
The secret to Trump’s success, Leavitt said, was that he ‘actually kept his word’ to American voters, ‘delivered on every single major campaign promise’ from his presidential campaign.
One of the president’s signature achievements was his promise on the campaign trail to deliver tax cuts to Americans.
Trump signed his signature ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ into law on Independence Day. It extended his 2017 tax cuts and cut taxes on tips, overtime pay and social security.
The law also enacted work requirements for Medicare coverage, expanded funding for border security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
And a popular provision included $1,000 MAGA baby accounts that will help Americans start investing in their kids’ futures.
She listed off other promises, including ‘securing the border to defeating Biden’s inflation crisis.’
The first 100 days milestone is frequently marked as the most important time period of a president’s leadership, as it signals how quickly he will secure his political agenda.
But Trump’s second 100 days featured the passage of major legislation and significant foreign policy achievements.
The president’s most significant domestic achievement was the administration’s wrangling with Republican members of Congress who used a slim minority to pass his signature Big Beautiful Bill to enact many of his campaign promises.
‘Thanks to President Trump’s relentless efforts and record-breaking achievements, the Golden Age of America is officially upon us,’ Leavitt concluded.
‘I think I have more power now, I do,’ Trump boasted in July, when asked by reporters about his successes in his second term. ‘More gravitas. More power.’
President Trump also launched one of the biggest and most successful air strikes in modern history on several Iranian nuclear sites in June.
The airstrike involved 125 aircraft including seven B-2 stealth bombers, some of them tasked with hitting the three different nuclear sites.
Seventy-five ‘precision-guided weapons’ were dropped on Iranian targets and 14 GBU-57 Massive Ordinance Penetrators (MOPs) were dropped to destroy the facilities.
The president also convinced NATO members to raise defense spending to 5 percent of their GDP, culminating in a summit in June.
The president also signed the GENIUS Act into law, establishing a regulatory framework for stablecoins and promoting the use and growth of the cryptocurrency industry in the United States.
The president successfully reached a record low in illegal crossings at the border as only 4,399 apprehensions took place in July with zero releases into the United States.
A White House official said to the Daily Mail that the administration had also located and rescued more than 13,000 migrant children who crossed the border without their parents.
Trump’s trade agenda also moved forward after setting tough deadlines with some of America’s trade partners to encourage them to negotiate with his administration.
So far the president has secured deals with South Korea, Pakistan, Japan, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam.
Trump also traveled to Scotland in July to announce significant negotiated deals with the United Kingdom and the European Union.
Despite some economic volatility from the president’s tariffs, the stock market reached an all-time record high on July 25, after five consecutive days of new closing highs. The results of the president’s expanded tariffs enacted on Thursday remain unclear.
Other second 100-day milestone successes flagged by the Trump administration included killing federal regulations at 10-1 rate and terminating Biden-era permitting for wind farms, which the president continues to criticize as an inefficient method of generating electricity.
The president also secured commitments from several prominent hospitals to stop providing sex change surgeries and puberty blockers for children under the age of 18.
The White House also celebrated the news that the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has banned men from competing in women’s sports, after the president made it a priority in his campaign and first six months of his administration.
Gas prices remained low throughout the president’s second term as the national average was well below the four dollars a gallon highs that frequently took place during former President Joe Biden’s first term.
The president also signed an executive order rolling back Biden era restrictions on the development of Artificial Intelligence and developing a strategy for the path forward.
The president also publicly threatened to end funding for several universities, prompting them to cancel their DEI policies.
The vice president’s office also celebrated the 200th day milestone in a statement to the Daily Mail.
‘The Trump administration has accomplished more since inauguration day than most administration’s accomplish in four years,’ a spokesman for Vice President JD Vance said in a statement.
‘Americans are better off thanks to the tireless work of President Trump and Vice President Vance.’
The president, however still has work to do as he is still working on his promises to end the war in Ukraine as well as solving the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
