All things being equal, I think President Trump is doing a damn good job his first year in office. Sure, there are things that I could choose to take exception with — not cutting as much spending as anticipated or dangerous ideas involving stablecoins in the Treasury market, for example — but all in all, Trump is getting the big things right.

Every once in a while, I check in on the Democrats to see if they have somehow organically manifested one new brain cell while they just sleep, lobotomized and Matrix-pod style, in the liquid goo of groupthink, identity politics, race hustling, “academic” theories, and post-post-post-postmodern ideologies (the fourth post just kills you)—and I’m quickly assured that they have made no progress whatsoever.

For example, here’s Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett stating just days ago that just because somebody commits a crime, it doesn’t make them a criminal, while her yoga teacher nods along in deep agreement as though she has just presented a breakthrough in differential geometry at MIT and he’s in the class following along, taking notes.

And then there was Senator Mazie Hirono’s line of questioning to FBI Director Kash Patel days ago, where she was incensed that FBI agents — supposed to be the “tip of the spear” in fighting terrorism — were required to do pull-ups.

And how about Jake Tapper interviewing himself Hakeem Jeffries about the current government shutdown due to Democrats seeking to offer medical care to illegal immigrants?

I also watch the people who appear one after the other on MSNBC to claim that arresting criminals is somehow racist—like this guy:

And in case you’re wondering how Kamala Harris is doing after receiving the curb-stomping of the century in the presidential election, she has also resurfaced, eager to prove that she appears to still have an affinity for both word salads and red wine.

Yes, I look at these examples and scores of other ones.

I watch all of this and think to myself, “Things could have been way, way worse.”

One of the main arguments against President Trump so far during his term has been that he has been acting with a heavy hand. This was the critique with DOGE, it was the critique with his appointees, it was the critique with tariffs, it’s been the critique with him speaking out about James Comey’s indictment, and it has definitely been the critique with how he is handling illegal immigration.

But honestly, the country had gotten so far off track in the four years prior to this term that any pushback from the above idiocy was going to feel heavy-handed.

How exactly is Trump supposed to respond to Joe Biden’s head of nuclear waste being a bald man wearing lipstick in a dress, stealing luggage from women at airports? Is Trump supposed to say, “This is completely normal behavior!” or “Great job, can we keep him on for another term?”

“Well, acktschully…”

How is Trump supposed to look at millions of illegals being allowed to cross the border with zero repercussion—many of whom are unvetted criminals—and respond?

Is he supposed to throw Alejandro Mayorkas a testimonial dinner for repeatedly...(READ THIS FULL COLUMN 100% FREE HERE).
