When CNN is comparing Democrats to a “hoarder’s basement” and flatly saying their “image is garbage,” something tectonic has shifted.
No, that’s not hyperbole. That’s the direct quote from Harry Enten, CNN’s own data analyst, who—God bless him—finally told a sliver of the truth. He looked at the Democratic Party's current state and couldn't resist calling it what the rest of America already knows it to be: a broken, festering, overflowing disaster of dysfunction and decay.
This isn’t Fox News saying it. It’s not Newsmax. It’s not even an op-ed from the Wall Street Journal. This is CNN, folks. The same CNN that’s tried desperately for years to play the PR firm for the Democratic National Committee.
So what’s got even CNN data nerds throwing in the towel?
Maybe it’s the fact that Joe Biden’s approval rating is now somewhere south of toenail fungus. Or that Kamala Harris polls worse than expired milk. Or that their so-called “coalition of the ascendant” has imploded into identity-obsessed infighting and political malpractice. Pick your poison.
But the real kicker is what’s happening in contrast—because Trump 2.0 is running circles around these clowns.
Just this week, Senate Democrats tried to box him in, yet again. Chuck Schumer, with his usual arrogance, believed that if he could tie a few nominee approvals to a spending deal, he could outmaneuver the President.
He got told to go to hell.
Literally.
Trump looked him in the eye and gave him the Bronx farewell. “Go to hell, Chuck.”
Then Trump, in classic 4D chess fashion, closed the Senate session and sent everyone home for recess. Which means he now gets to unilaterally fill a slew of appointments without needing a single Democrat vote.
This isn’t just a mic drop. It’s an industrial-sized dumpster drop—right in the middle of the DNC’s playbook.
But this is what I mean when I say Trump 2.0 is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. He tried, in good faith, to play ball. He extended the olive branch on bipartisan nominations. And what did the Democrats do? They tried to turn the process into another swamp game—another opportunity to hold the country hostage.
So Trump did what leaders do: he cut through the noise, saw the dysfunction for what it was, and acted in the best interest of the American people.
This man has no time for the petty games of the Beltway. He sees the rot, he knows how it festers, and unlike the last twenty years of politicians, he actually does something about it.
Let me be blunt: Trump is on a mission. A real one. Not the kind they write slogans about and then abandon after election day. No, this is something different. This is personal. This is legacy-defining. He wants a nation his grandchildren will be proud to inherit—and he’s putting in the work, every single day, to get us there.
And for the first time in a long time, the American people can see the difference. They see a President who gets things done. Who doesn’t sell them out to lobbyists or cave to corporate wokeism. Who doesn’t take cues from the World Economic Forum or whoever’s calling the shots behind the Biden puppet act.
They see strength.
They see clarity.
And yes, they see the contrast.
While the Democrats are off doing Lord-knows-what—releasing criminals, keeping the border open, pushing pronoun policies into elementary schools, and printing money like we’ve got a tree that grows it—Trump is rebuilding the house they tried to burn down.
He’s not waiting for permission. He’s not asking for bipartisan cover. He’s using every legal and constitutional tool at his disposal to make America work again.
And it’s working.
Don’t take my word for it—look at the panic on the Left. Look at how CNN is turning on its own party. Look at how Chuck Schumer, usually so smug, was left with egg on his face this week.
And with Democrats so divided they can’t even agree on what country they’re supposedly fighting for, it’s gotten so bad that New York City—the liberal mecca of the nation—is on the verge of the unthinkable: electing a Sharia Law–friendly mayoral candidate who wants to defund the police, abolish private property, and turn Manhattan into a socialist surveillance zone.
Yes, the party of “progress” is regressing so fast, they’re practically campaigning for 8th-century governance in the most iconic city in America.
The data, the optics, the wins—they all point to one undeniable truth:
If the election—or even the midterms—were held tomorrow, Trump’s policies would win in a landslide.
He’s the only one in the room who seems to remember what actual leadership looks like. And the American people, fed up with weak men and weaponized bureaucrats, are rewarding him with surging support. Even Democratic internal polling is starting to quietly admit the obvious: Trump’s boldness, decisiveness, and policy priorities are exactly what the nation is craving.
So yes, CNN got something right this week. The Democrats are a mess. Their image is garbage. Their party looks and smells like a hoarder’s basement—one filled with failed ideas, broken promises, and cobwebbed corruption.
But unlike CNN, Trump isn’t content just to observe it. He’s lighting the match and taking out the trash.
Good riddance.
