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.” .@POTUS on his imitation of “trans athletes” in women’s sports: “My wife HATES when I do this.” ??? pic.twitter.com/nTTzj8ZfMd — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) January 6, 2026 ‘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.” WATCH: “[Maduro] doesn’t want to fuck around with the United States.” — @POTUS (10/17/25)pic.twitter.com/rf2EHhjoYw — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) January 3, 2026 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.” WATCH: Donald Trump tells Volodymyr Zelenskyy that “you’ve got to be more thankful” as “you don’t have the cards”. The US president adds: “With us you have the cards, but without us you don’t have any cards.” Latest: https://t.co/QYEclXw6pC ?

state House's Courts of Justice Committee is weighing soft-on-crime legislation

THE CENTER SQUARE—The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Tuesday in a case over whether states can prevent concealed carry holders on private property that is open to the public. Wolford v. Lopez challenges a Hawaii law that prevents concealed carry permit holders from bringing handguns to beaches, bars, restaurants that serve alcohol and gas stations without the owners permission. The Hawaii law stems from the Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, where justices struck down a New York law requiring concealed carry holders to display the need to defend themselves. “The Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the court’s 2022 decision. Thomas further elaborated that gun restrictions should only be upheld if they are consistent with the “historical tradition” of the United States. In 2023, Hawaii implemented a law making it a misdemeanor for concealed carry holders to bring a gun on private property. The misdemeanor carries a sentence of up to a year in prison. Hawaii residents with concealed-carry permits challenged the state’s law. The residents, alongside a gun-rights group, argued that the government has no imperative to prohibit citizens from carrying concealed weapons in public spaces. “There is no comparable historical—or even modern-day—tradition of allowing the government to create a no-carry default rule for private property open to the public,” lawyers for the residents wrote to the Supreme Court. Lawyers for the gun-rights group also pointed to the disproportionate effect Hawaii’s law will have on rural areas with parks and beaches. “These bans are applicable to hundreds of thousands of acres of public land throughout Hawaii, even though the State allows hunting with firearms in many areas of these parks and forests,” lawyers wrote in a petition to the court. In a brief to the Supreme Court, Hawaii Attorney General Anne Lopez said the state instituted its law to protect citizens from hosting armed individuals on private property. Lopez points to a longstanding history of limiting the right of Hawaiian citizens to carry weapons in public spaces. “Property owners in Hawai’i could assume that—unless they made express arrangements to the contrary—firearms would not be carried onto their property, even if it was open to the public,” Lopez wrote in a brief to the nation’s highest court. Lawyers for Hawaii also argue that the Second Amendment, at the time of the nation’s founding, did not include the right to enter private property with a weapon. “The Founders recognized a property owner’s right to exclude,” the lawyers wrote. “Accordingly, at the Founding, a person had no right to enter private property with a gun unless he had the owner’s express consent or an implied license based on local law or custom.” In lower court litigation, Hawaii pointed to a 1771 New Jersey law and an 1865 Louisiana law that explicitly required consent before entering a private property of any kind with a gun. Lower courts upheld Hawaii’s arguments on the basis of these laws. “The overall purpose of all the laws was plainly to protect a property owner’s right to exclude firearms,” lawyers for Hawaii wrote. “Variation in the specific reasons why owners might wish to preclude guns—from preventing unwanted hunting to promoting safety, comfort or self-defense—does not undermine the basic fact that laws that vindicate the fundamental right to exclude are well within the tradition of American firearm regulation.” Lawyers for the concealed-carry holders argued Hawaii relied on faulty evidence to assert other laws were similar to the state’s ban. They argued certain public spaces, like beaches and public parks, would not be considered in the original bans, which fundamentally alters the state’s argument. “Under that approach, ‘the original understanding of the Second Amendment,’” the lawyers wrote, referencing a lower court judge’s opinion, “‘Would not apply to any new types of public spaces that would develop in the future.’” Gun rights and gun control advocates will be watching as the justices hear arguments in one of the court’s most consequential Second Amendment cases of the year, with a decision expected by July.
