January 20, 2026, marks the one-year anniversary of the start of President Donald Trump's second term in office. Much to the left's consternation, the Trump administration has sought to commemorate the last 365 days with a list of 365 accomplishments they've made at breakneck speed over the last year.
Ranking at the top of the list, of course, is putting the American people first by securing the southern border and commencing with deportations, campaign promises even Trump's staunchest critics would agree he fulfilled.
"Carried out over 650,000 arrests, detentions, and deportations of illegal aliens — including the worst of the worst criminal illegal alien killers, rapists, gang members, and repeat offenders," they noted in their announcement. "Cut fentanyl trafficking at the southern border by 56%," they also shared, a hugely important accomplishment.

The White House held a press briefing on Tuesday where the president himself made an appearance to tout the administration's many successes. In Trump's hand was a large binder full of papers detailing what had taken place in Year One.
As per the norm, Trump walked in like a boss, flashing the binder full of accomplishments to the press and promptly plopping it down onto the podium as he prepared to speak:

He immediately dropped a massive binder on the podium and said "So these are the accomplishments."

“We have a book that I'm not going to read to you, but these are the accomplishments of what we've produced, all page after page after page, individual things," Trump remarked. "I could stand here and read it for a week, and we wouldn't be finished, but we've done more than any other administration has done by far.”

But a humorous moment happened moments after he began talking about the book's content. The large binder clip snapped after he tried to remove it, and Trump made a crack about how he was glad his finger didn't get stuck in it and fall off:
Here’s the book on accomplishments. And this is something. Oh, I’m glad my finger wasn’t in that sucker! That could have done some damage, but you know what? I wouldn’t have shown the pain. I would have gone back.
Boy, did you hear that? That was nasty! But I would not have shown that pain. I would’ve acted like nothing happened as my finger fell off.
[Laughter in room.]
That was nasty. I think somebody did that.
He then started joking and pointing at members of the White House press corps, wondering if they were the ones who "did that." Eventually, he tossed it to the floor and continued with his remarks.
Watch:
😭 Hilarious!
