Tuesday marks one year since President Donald Trump was sworn in for a second time, and in some ways, the past year flew by. In other ways, it seems like 10 years’ worth of events could have fit inside the timeline that 2025 brought us.
In every way, President Trump was his vintage self, making leftists scream in rage and conservatives shout in jubilation. To look back on the past year of Trump’s second term, here’s the top five quotes from the president’s first year back in office.
‘My Wife Hates When I Do This’
Possibly the most memorable quote of Trump’s second term came just two weeks ago when he did his transgender athlete impersonation for Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
“By the way, my wife hates when I do this,” he told Republicans before going into his routine. “She’s a very classy person, right? She said, ‘It’s so unpresidential.’ I said, ‘But I did become president.’ She hates when I dance. … ‘Darling, it’s not presidential.’ She actually said, ‘Could you imagine FDR dancing?’ She said that to me. And I said there’s a long history that perhaps she doesn’t know.”

‘THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!’
Trump’s signature sign-off started before his second term, but his use of “THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER” exploded in the past year, with the president using it around 200 times. Some of its most hilarious uses of the phrase came after Trump praised Sydney Sweeney during the American Eagle jeans controversy and when he gave an update on talks with Vladimir Putin in the middle of a phone call with Vladimir Putin.
Maduro ‘Doesn’t Want To F*ck Around With The United States’
Trump has never been one to shy away from crude language, but dropping the f-bomb in a televised Cabinet Meeting while talking about negotiations with a dictator was a first. When asked about talks with Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro on October 17, Trump replied, “He has offered everything. … You know why? Because he doesn’t want to f*ck around with the United States.”

Just over two months later, Maduro was captured by U.S. forces.
FAFO.
‘You Don’t Have The Cards’
It was nearly one year ago when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky walked into the White House and was berated by Trump and Vice President JD Vance in front of the watching world.
“You’ve gotta be thankful because let me tell you let me tell you, you don’t have the cards,” Trump told Zelensky in a heated Oval Office meeting. “With us, you have the cards, but without us, you don’t have any cards.”

The US president adds: “With us you have the cards, but without us you don’t have any cards.”

‘The European Union Was Formed In Order To Screw The United States’
In another Cabinet meeting last February, Trump addressed his tariff proposals in regards to Europe and didn’t mince words with what he thought about the European Union.
“The European Union was formed in order to screw the United States, that’s the purpose of it,” he said. “And they’ve done a good job of it, but now I’m president.”
