The White House press corps received a striking reminder of the administration’s achievements this week when officials distributed a comprehensive three-page document highlighting recent successes.
Daily Caller’s White House Correspondent Reagan Reese brought attention to this development on X, sharing details about the document titled “This Week’s Accomplishments.”
At the forefront of these achievements was Trump’s impressive approval rating, with a CBS poll indicating that 70% of Americans believe he’s delivering on his campaign promises. The document also emphasized the administration’s role in securing Marc Fogel’s freedom.

Fogel, an American teacher who faced a 14-year sentence in Russia following his 2021 arrest for cannabis possession, was released in what appeared to be a diplomatic victory. The administration notably pointed out that Fogel’s detention predated that of WNBA star Brittany Griner, whom the Biden administration had previously negotiated to release in exchange for arms dealer Victor Bout.
The document outlined several other significant developments, including the resumption of deportations to Venezuela and notable appointments to key positions. Former Representative Tulsi Gabbard was confirmed as director of national intelligence, while Robert F. Kennedy Jr. secured the position of secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Additionally, the administration highlighted a humanitarian agreement with Jordan’s King Abdullah II to provide medical care for 2,000 children from Gaza.
Despite being just one month into the administration, Trump’s team has maintained a robust pace of activity, particularly in addressing government inefficiencies and working toward peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
The White House gave us a 3-page document titled “This Week’s Accomplishments.” It highlights:
– President Trump’s “highest ever approval rating (53%)”
– release of Marc Fogel
– new 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum
– calls with Putin and Zelenskyy
– Hamas agreement to release… pic.twitter.com/MFdREr1KfY— Iris Tao (@IrisTaoTV) February 14, 2025
The president’s well-documented friction with mainstream media outlets like CNN and MSNBC likely made the document’s distribution an interesting moment in the press briefing room, potentially met with mixed reactions from various journalists.
Regardless of political stance, the administration’s active approach to governance has been evident. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s office appears committed to maintaining detailed documentation of the administration’s progress, setting a different tone from the previous press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre.
The challenge of tracking and documenting the administration’s rapid-fire accomplishments may prove to be a significant task in itself for the press office moving forward.
