The left would love nothing more than to pin the “lame duck” label on Donald Trump now that he has reclaimed the White House. Their attempts to diminish the former president’s power are about as effective as trying to stop a freight train by waving a flag. The term “lame duck” is traditionally reserved for officials who are on the way out, but as Trump steps back into power, it’s clear that he’s taking on a very different role. While the liberal media cackles in its echo chamber, the reality is that Trump is hardly irrelevant or powerless.
The media’s fear-mongering about a “weakened” Trump presidency is amusing, especially considering the level of executive action he has unleashed since returning to office. The guy isn’t just making headlines; he’s rewriting them. Contrary to liberal predictions of a floundering leadership fraught with indecisiveness, Trump is moving faster than a caffeinated cheetah. Recent data reveals that in just his first few months, he’s already signed an unprecedented number of executive orders—111 to be exact. The left might argue it’s sheer volume, but it’s hard to overlook that this is the most seen in a century at this stage in any presidency.
According to a CNN analyst, Trump is not just skimming by but soaring. In a surprising, albeit rare moment of honesty from a network known for its bias, this analyst pointed out that Trump’s approach stands in stark contrast to his predecessors. While previous leaders may have succumbed to bureaucratic hurdles and public opinion, Trump is busy cutting through the red tape like a hot knife through butter, effectively expunging the disarray left behind by the prior administration.

Public response to Trump’s aggressive action has been remarkably positive. CNN, not exactly a friend to Trump, reported that a staggering 86% of Americans believe his approach to power differentiates him from past presidents. Even more astonishing is that this sentiment spans party lines, with a significant number of Democrats and Independents nodding in agreement. It seems there is a growing acknowledgment that Trump is anything but just another figurehead. He’s wielding the presidency like a skilled craftsman, determined to mold the nation according to the promises made on the campaign trail.
While critics can find every reason to dislike Trump’s style and substance, they can’t deny that he has shaken things up historically. He is playing the game his way, unapologetically delivering on what he believes the American people voted for. The question is whether the left will grasp this reality or continue to wallow in denial. Either way, the term “lame duck” is simply too weak to describe the force that is Donald Trump in his second act. The liberal media’s narrative may be falling flat, but Trump’s angel of executive orders is just getting started.
