President Donald Trump issued some massive promises while running for office in 2024, and now one eighth of the way into his four-year term, those working in the administration are enumerating some of his wins.
The president has made massive changes in immigration, the economy, energy, international relations and trade, as Breitbart News reported.
During a recent cabinet-level meeting, the members of Trump’s inner circle spoke about those changes just after the Republican-controlled Congress passed Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.
The Trump-led meeting, taking place just days after Republicans delivered on passing President Trump’s big, beautiful bill, touched on the advantages of this historic legislation as Vice President JD Vance congratulated all those involved in getting it done.
One of the most controversial promises Trump took to the national stage during his campaign was the promise to do away with the Department of Education, and to let the funds allocated for children’s education follow the child, regardless of where or how they’re educated.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon said during the recent cabinet meeting that the bill does just that, and it provides opportunities for scholarships “for kids who are in failing schools. ”
“It’s going to be a big turnaround,” she predicted.

On a different front U.S. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer pointed to the most recent jobs numbers in the last few months, saying that “Four months in a row, we’ve seen those jobs numbers increase.”
In addition to more jobs, the Department of Labor has also cut away excessive regulations, lauding their office’s whopping 63 new deregulations: “It’s an exciting time."
While jobs might bring in the money, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy noted that the One Big Beautiful Bill also makes a way for people to get to those jobs, whether physically, or virtually via the $12.5 billion in the bill earmared for internet service providers to “move from copper to fiber all over the country.”
Domestic changes are great, but the White House has also looked beyond national borders and propped up the U.S. economy through international relations.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reported that the United States has brought in $100 billion in tariff income, just in the months since the president rolled out his new international trade plan. That figure will likely increase once more tariffs crank up in the second quarter, with the secretary estimating a likely $300 billion in revenue by the end of the year.
Other international relationships have grown as well, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlighted. According to Rubio, there have been “MAGA” achievements worldwide:
“We’ve prevented and ended a war between India and Pakistan, NATO is now at 5 percent for the first time ever… a peace deal between the [DRC] and Rwanda, a 12-day war that ended with an American operation that we’re the only country in the world that could have done, hopefully pretty soon a peace deal between Azerbaijan and Armenia,” he said.
“The entire Middle East and the infrastructure of it has the potential now to change because of Syria and Lebanon. And it hasn’t even been 6 months,” Rubio said, asserting that is due to Trump’s leadership.
