In late August 2026, Rod D. Martin released a report detailing the policy accomplishments of the Donald Trump administration to assist Republicans in midterm election campaigning. The report emphasized border security and immigration, claiming that illegal crossings reached fifty-year lows due to the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy, border wall expansion, and the end of ‘catch-and-release.’ It further asserted that the U.S. saw negative net migration in 2025, with nearly 3 million undocumented individuals leaving through deportation or voluntary programs. By mid-September 2026, President Trump personally shared a list of 25 administration achievements via Truth Social. This list expanded on previous claims, asserting the U.S. achieved the ‘most secure border in history’ with zero illegal admissions over the preceding 16 months. The President also cited the Laken Riley Act, a significant drop in the national murder rate, and economic measures including the ‘Great Big Beautiful Bill’ for tax cuts. Additionally, he highlighted the imposition of tariffs on foreign metals and automobiles, claiming $19.2 trillion in new investment commitments and record-breaking stock market performance. On September 19, 2026, further details regarding these claims were provided. The ‘Great Big Beautiful Bill’ was specified as providing tax exemptions for tips, overtime, and Social Security benefits. Regarding trade, the administration cited historic tariffs of 50% on foreign copper, aluminum, and steel, and 25% on foreign automobiles. The President also noted a $1 trillion investment in the U.S. Armed Forces this year. Despite these assertions, recent polling indicates that voters remain primarily concerned with inflation year and claimed the cost of living rather than administration ‘obliterated Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity.’ Separately, the administration’s highlighted policy areas. President proposed constructing a massive Triumphal Arch in Washington, D.C., near Arlington National Cemetery. He described the structure as a high-tech military complex designed to house and rapidly deploy drones and snipers, as well as store ammunition. The proposal has faced criticism regarding its impact on the city's historic landscape.
