The media machine is already firing up its engines as it tries to recalibrate following Trump’s triumphant return to the White House. Viewers can practically hear the gears grinding and the heads spinning. If anyone had their popcorn ready for the fallout, they aren’t going to be disappointed. The liberal media, which has feasted on anti-Trump coverage like it was Thanksgiving every week, is poised to unleash the worst fits of hysteria since the last time a cat video went viral. Reports of mass panic from the mainstream media establishments are already filtering in from the frontlines.
While many might expect the media to go full-on attack mode against Trump, the real drama may unfold closer to home. Gone are the days of praise for the pride of the party, Kamala Harris, who has gone from celebrated trailblazer to just another cog in the political machine. Even Joe Biden, once touted as the most significant leader since sliced bread, has been reduced to little more than a quaint anecdote in political history. Expect to see a frenzy of finger-pointing among Democrats, like a group of cats suddenly discovering there’s only a single tuna fish left in the can.
The Democrats have gotten their con game exposed. Joe was merely a puppet meant to keep the left’s agenda rolling, and now that he’s flopped harder than a poorly made souffle, the liberals find themselves backed into a corner. They can no longer protect their base, leading to an inevitable backlash as the left starts feasting on its own with the desperation of a reality TV show contestant trying to stay relevant.

But here’s the twist: the mainstream media may find itself in an unusual position—one where they’ll actually treat Trump with a degree of grace. Unlike in 2016, when they couldn’t scratch their anti-Trump itch without tearing their credibility to shreds, this time they’ll be forced to give him a collegial nod. They might even muster up a begrudging respect for the former president, who weathered the onslaught of their attacks and came out swinging. Funny how the cycle of love and hate for Trump is as predictable as a rerun of a cheesy sitcom.
It’s a classic case of media irony: they’ve spent years trying to take Trump down, and suddenly, they’re left in awe of his tenacity. Underneath the surface of their disdain, they realize that their own inflated egos and thirst for sensationalism can’t obscure the strength Trump brings—something they desperately wish their own side had. While the honeymoon period might not last long, as history shows, it will certainly provide some comic relief as they try to pivot back to their old ways.
But for those expecting this newfound cordiality to linger, think again. The media will inevitably fall back into familiar patterns, conjuring up fresh narratives of doom and gloom at the mere suggestion that Trump misspoke or committed a minor faux pas. The audience can almost predict every angle they’ll take, boosting ratings by spinning tales of mental decline and the political apocalypse. One can’t help but laugh at the sheer futility of it all, especially considering how many times they have played the same tired tune. Sure, they’ll smile for the cameras now, but when the dust settles, it’ll be the same old story—just with a few new headlines. Enjoy the fleeting friendship while it lasts because it’s bound to turn back into a tempest before anyone can say “fake news!”
