If you’re blaming Trump and not Thune, you are the problem. Thune… failed to pass the SAVE ACT. Trump accomplishments: Promises Made/Kept: Major campaign promises from the 2024 race that Trump has kept (as of early November 2026): • Closed the southern border / stopped the “invasion”: Illegal crossings fell ~95% (to historic lows; ~98,708 southwest border apprehensions in FY 2026 vs. >1.8 million annually under Biden). Nationwide encounters also hit record lows. • Ended catch-and-release: Zero Border Patrol releases of illegal aliens into the U.S. interior for many consecutive months (first such fiscal year in history). • Reinstated Remain in Mexico (Migrant Protection Protocols). • Restored and expanded the travel ban: Full entry restrictions on nationals of numerous high-risk countries. • Largest domestic deportation operation in U.S. history: Illegal alien population reduced by at least ~2.3 million; >3 million left the country (including ~1.2 million deported/removed); negative net migration in 2025 (first time in ≥50 years); major ICE expansion and partnerships. • Signed the Laken Riley Act (mandatory detention/deportation of illegal alien criminals; first major legislative win of the term). • Designated major drug cartels (e.g., Tren de Aragua, MS-13, Sinaloa) as foreign terrorist organizations and took related enforcement actions (including military strikes on narco vessels and operations against figures like Maduro). • Pardoned January 6 defendants (full, complete, and unconditional pardons for those charged in connection with the Capitol events). • Made the 2017 tax cuts permanent and delivered additional middle-class relief via the major reconciliation bill (“Working Families Tax Cuts” / One Big Beautiful Bill), including: • No tax on tips • No tax on overtime • Significant tax relief for seniors on Social Security (substantial deduction/break, though not a total elimination for all) • Tax deductibility of car-loan interest • Baby bonuses / related newborn benefits and Trump Accounts • Expanded 529/homeschool tax benefits • Withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement (again) and related international climate organizations. • Declared a national energy emergency; unleashed domestic production (“drill, baby, drill”): more federal drilling permits, opened additional ANWR areas, lifted LNG export restrictions, and related deregulation. • Withdrew from the World Health Organization. • Saved TikTok via a deal establishing U.S. ownership/control structure. • Ended federal DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) initiatives across government and contractors. • Released remaining classified/redacted JFK assassination files. • Ended the federal EV mandate / goals (and related state emissions waivers via executive and legislative action). • Reinstated the military ban on transgender service members. • Cut federal funding for NPR/PBS. • Pardoned/commuted the sentence of Ross Ulbricht (Silk Road). • NATO defense spending increases: Secured allied commitments to raise spending significantly (toward 5% of GDP by 2035); European allies and Canada increased spending ~20% in 2025. • Resumed and funded border wall construction (hundreds of miles completed or under contract; major new funding).
