Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday appeared to make his best possible case that President Donald Trump has had a successful second term, highlighting “Top Accomplishments” that included: “Restored Nine Military Bases to Rightful Names.” Another supposed “accomplishment” he highlighted: “Released New Dietary Guidelines.” While Hannity was touting Trump’s supposed triumphs in a scrolling graphic, he was interviewing MAGA loyalist Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), who has defended the administration’s lethal U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats and justified Israel bombing Palestinian women and children. Hannity’s list brazenly included “accomplishments” such as “Best Military Recruitment In 15 Years,” amid Trump’s costly war of choice on Iran, and “Record Oil and Gas Production in 2025,” amid skyrocketing fuel costs for everyday Americans due to the unpopular conflict. “I thought the president did a really good job at the U.N. yesterday, pointing out all that he’s done on the world stage,” Hannity told Cotton. “But, you know, I’m going to scroll all the things that he and Republicans have been able to accomplish.” The Fox News host added, “They don’t seem to get credit, you know, for much of anything.” Trump notably vowed ahead of his 2024 reelection to boost the U.S. economy by reviving American manufacturing and keeping the country out of foreign entanglements, only to impose debilitating international tariffs, launch his war and celebrate rising inflation. The lengthy scroll on Wednesday did include some apparent accomplishments that voters from both sides of the aisle might agree on, including “Numerous Companies Committed to Removing Artificial Dyes,” in food and “Lowest Murder Rate in 125 Years” across the U.S. Critics on social media weren’t convinced by the list, however, as evidenced by some fiery reactions. “Americans are struggling with grocery prices, rent, and healthcare premiums going up under Trump, and Fox News is bragging about renaming bases back to honor traitors who fought against the United States to preserve slavery,” wrote one user, with another posting: “Sad.” “If that’s the best they can claim for accomplishments it’s no mystery why they’re screwed for the midterms,” another person wrote, with a fourth commenting: “Republicans don’t care about using their majorities to pass legislation making life more affordable for Americans.” Hannity and Cotton on Wednesday appeared united in an attempt to bolster Trump’s résumé of supposed victories, as the president is currently facing disastrous approval ratings amid a midterm election season that could spell trouble for the Republican Party.
