Trump Lists Iran War Among His Top 25 Term Three Accomplishments

By Sandra Rhodes (/journals/sandra-rhodes)

Move over David Letterman, President Donald Trump has a list of his own.

The president memorized his “TOP 25” accomplishments on Truth Social Friday. He noted these were attained in “Term Three,” which does not exist.

The list included immigration, tariffs, taxes, the stock market, transgender policies and foreign affairs. Trump also counted the war in Iran among his accomplishments. He claimed his administration had “obliterated Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity” through Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Epic Fury and ensured the country would “NEVER have a nuclear weapon.”

On Tuesday, CBS News published photos, sent to the network by active-duty service members.

These showed extensive damage to U.S. military positions from Iranian missile and drone attacks. One deployed U.S. troop told CBS the destruction amounted to “major damage to our bases that hasn’t been communicated to the American public,” adding, “We’re standing there with our eyes closed getting punched in the face.”

The Defense Department’s inspector general also reported this week that the war has resulted in up to $3.7 billion in “equipment losses,” including close to 60 aircraft.
