President Donald Trump has now completed 500 days in office, crossing another milestone in his presidency on Sunday. Here’s a look at some of the presidential data he’s racked up so far from the West Wing to the Winter White House.
3496: Presidential tweets
According to a website tracking all of the president’s tweets, Trump has tweeted 3496 times as president, almost seven times per day, including 224 tweets using the term “Fake News,” 118 tweets about Hillary Clinton, and 57 tweets calling the Russia investigation a “witch hunt.”
This is my 500th. Day in Office and we have accomplished a lot – many believe more than any President in his first 500 days. Massive Tax & Regulation Cuts, Military & Vets, Lower Crime & Illegal Immigration, Stronger Borders, Judgeships, Best Economy & Jobs EVER, and much more…

94: Meetings with world leaders
From the Oval Office to Mar-a-Lago, President Trump has held at least 94 meetings with world leaders. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has received the invitation the most frequently, sitting down with Trump for seven separate bilateral meetings. The White House says Abe will meet Trump for the eighth time on Thursday in the Oval Office.
250: Calls with world leaders / Heads of state
While the White House does not read out every phone call President Trump has with foreign leaders and heads of state, ABC News has tracked 250 phone calls with them, including 24 with Prime Minister Theresa May of the United Kingdom – Trump’s most frequent contact. Trump has also held 22 calls with French President Emanuel Macron and 21 calls with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
11: Direct interactions with Vladimir Putin
President Trump has held at least eight phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and they’ve met in person at least three times. The two leaders held one formal expanded bilateral meeting in Hamburg, Germany at the G20 summit last July, but Trump also chatted with Putin on the sidelines of that summit and at APEC in Da Nang, Vietnam on Nov. 11, 2017. The White House says it is in the very early stages of planning a bilateral summit, though the date and location have not yet been finalized.
3.8: Unemployment rate
President Trump is presiding over the lowest unemployment rate since December 1969, when it was 3.5 percent and Trump was just 23 years old. The current rate of 3.8 percent ties the jobless mark from April 2000 during Bill Clinton’s final year in office.
180: Bills signed into law
More than 10,000 bills have been introduced in the 115th Congress, with President Trump signing 180 of those measures into law. While Republicans have failed to send Trump legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act or enact immigration reform, the crowning achievement is clearly the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Two additional bills that have passed both chambers of Congress await the president’s signature.
192: Flights on Air Force One
President Trump has utilized his top presidential perk – Air Force One – for 192 flights so far, including five international trips, and 102 domestic stops all over the country. The president has already visited 31 of…
