To mark his first year back in office, President Donald Trump posted a list of “365 WINS IN 365 DAYS” on the White House website. That’s a clever way to measure what has been a year chock-full of presidential moves engineered to pull the country out of four terrible years during Joe Biden’s autopen administration.

“One year ago today,” the post begins, “President Donald J. Trump returned to office with a resounding mandate to restore prosperity, secure the border, rebuild American strength, and put the American people first. In just 365 days, President Trump has delivered truly transformative results with the most accomplished first year of any presidential term in modern history.”

Trump groups his “wins” in several categories: Securing America’s borders and putting Americans first (52 wins), making our communities safe again (15 wins), rebuilding an economy for working Americans (37 wins), championing American workers and American industry (23 wins), igniting American innovation and technology (13 wins), reasserting American leadership on the world stage (46 wins), forging a stronger, modernized military force (32 wins), making government work for the people (79 wins), making America healthy again (25 wins), and unleashing American energy dominance — and common sense (43 wins).

It’s an impressive list. Why wouldn’t it be? Trump had four long years to think about what he would have done differently in his first term, and how he’d approach a second term if he won.

The results of that big-picture thought are profound. Trump actually governed pretty conservatively in his first term, relying on well-established conservatives and organizations to populate his administration and shape policies, nominees, and related decisions. His first year — 2017 — began a great American comeback, and his first term was tremendously successful.

However, an ugly pandemic and marred 2020 election, followed by years of Democrat lawfare against him, evidently persuaded Trump that he was too nice the first time. If the goal of his first term was to drop a bomb on the Washington establishment, the objective this time around has been to upend virtually everything at home and abroad.

As if to further distinguish himself from Joe Biden’s cognitive impairment, Trump has set a dizzying pace, working what seems like 24/7/365. According to Fox News, “Trump has signed more than 225 executive orders — surpassing the total 220 such orders he signed across the first four years of his presidency in his first administration.”

Almost nothing has been outside Trump’s purview or unworthy of his attention in his first year back in office, including weighing in on who should coach the New York Giants.

Today, he’s addressing global issues while speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he’s making the case for a very different kind of American leadership, including his intense desire to acquire Greenland from Denmark.

Going back to the one-year marker, he appeared at yesterday’s White House press briefing to tout his list of accomplishments. “We have a book that I’m not going to read to you, but these are the accomplishments of what we’ve produced,” Trump said while holding up a clipped ream of paper. “I could stand here and read it for a week, and we wouldn’t be finished.”

The Associated Press notes, “He spent roughly 1 hour and 45 minutes in the White House briefing room opining on everything from his relationship with foreign leaders to God’s pride in him.”

Well, it’s hard to blame him. That list of 365 wins may be exaggerated (Trump exaggerates? Who knew?), but it’s not fabricated. Even the Trump-skeptical editors of National Review give him credit:

Much good has come from the unbridled ambition. Trump has made tremendous strides in scaling back the transgender insanity and DEI initiatives within the federal government. His aggressive enforcement of immigration laws has led to a historic decrease in border crossings and a significant outflow of illegal immigrants who have either been deported by force or who have decided to leave on their own. He’s rolled back the preposterous campaign to usher gas-powered cars into desuetude. In his only significant legislative achievement, he got Congress to pass an extension of his first-term tax cuts.

I share their admiration for those achievements and also agree with their discomfort with some of his approach, which they proceed to explain. Before Trump won the GOP presidential nomination in 2016, my biggest fear was that his Wreck-It Ralph authoritarian streak, utter lack of an ideological north star, and cult of personality would remake the Republican Party in a way largely foreign to conservative principles and constitutional limits.

In many ways, his first term assuaged those fears. His response to defeat in 2020 and the beginning of his second term, however, brought them roaring back.

Take Greenland. His desire and justification are exactly right. His methods may not work out favorably.

Tariffs are another example. He’s painfully correct about how American industries, and especially workers, have been battered by trade policies over the last 40 years. Other nations have taken us to the cleaners, and Trump is using tariffs to level the playing field. Yet he’s doing so in a way that is brash and willy-nilly, all while denying that there’s any downside — namely that American consumers inevitably pay more for things. The goal is worthy; the method, not so much.

Even immigration is a mixed bag. Shutting down the border after Biden flung it open wide is a Rushmore-worthy achievement. Deporting illegal alien criminals is a necessity. Yet ICE undeniably has an optics problem right now, and it could lead to significant political losses and other problems down the road.

Are there any limits to Trump’s power? “Yeah, there is one thing,” he told The New York Times recently. “My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”

Imagine hearing Barack Obama or Joe Biden say that out loud. They absolutely thought it, but they rarely even hinted at it.

Misgivings aside, Trump is upending a lot of things that desperately needed to be upended. It will be up to future presidents, Congresses, and courts to determine the bounds of American politics in a post-Trump world. No one will say he wasn’t consequential.

In the first year of his second term, the indefatigable Trump reportedly ended a social media post with “Thank you for your attention to this matter” a whopping 242 times. In so many ways, that sums up his entire second-term approach.
