How long has Trump been in office? 2026 will bring his first year back – USA Today

• Donald Trump began his second, nonconsecutive term as president on Jan. 20, 2025.

It has been less than a year since President Donald Trump returned to office, and in that time, his administration has been relentless in pushing forward its agenda.

Trump has enacted widespread tariffs, reduced the federal workforce, ramped up immigration enforcement for those without legal status, deployed the National Guard to American cities, and passed a sweeping tax and policy bill. The administration also hit snags on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, the ongoing war in Ukraine and the longest-ever government shutdown.

Trump’s approach has been controversial and not all popular, as his approval rating has been underwater on average since the spring. Some recent polls show he is losing support on his handling of the economy, an issue that helped his re-election.

So, how long has it been since he returned to the White House? See the ongoing count of Trump’s days in office:
