President Donald Trump has been back in office for less than a year, and in that time his administration has relentlessly pushed its policies forward.
President Trump has enacted sweeping tariffs, cut the federal workforce, increased immigration enforcement against people without legal status, deployed the National Guard to American cities, and passed sweeping tax and policy legislation. The administration has also been hit with obstacles by the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the longest government shutdown in history.
President Trump’s approach has been controversial and not necessarily popular, as his approval ratings have stagnated on average since the spring. Some recent polls show that he is losing support over the economic response that helped win him reelection.
So how long has it been since he returned to the White House? Check out our ongoing count of President Trump’s days in office.
