WASHINGTON, D.C. December 27, 2025 – President Donald J. Trump touted the accomplishments of his administration’s first 11 months in office during impromptu remarks to reporters on the White House South Lawn on Saturday, as captured in a video shared by the official White House account on X.
Standing in front of Marine One, the presidential helicopter, Trump declared: “After 11 months, our border is secure. Inflation is stopped. Wages are up. Prices are down. Our nation is STRONG. America is respected, and our country is BACK.”
The comments echo key themes from Trump’s recent prime-time address to the nation earlier this month, where he claimed his administration had “brought more positive change to Washington than any administration in American history.” In that speech, Trump highlighted border security improvements, economic gains, and upcoming tax cuts, while blaming the previous Democratic administration for prior challenges.
The White House post, which garnered significant engagement on social media, featured the president emphasizing rapid progress on multiple fronts. Supporters praised the message as evidence of a “historic comeback,” while critics questioned some of the specific claims, such as inflation being fully “stopped” amid ongoing economic debates.
The remarks come as the administration approaches the end of its first year in Trump’s second term, with focus on implementing sweeping legislation, including major tax reforms and continued emphasis on immigration enforcement.
The video clip has been widely circulated, underscoring the president’s optimistic outlook heading into the new year.
