The political landscape in Washington has experienced a jarring transformation with the return of Donald Trump to the Oval Office—a feat so rare it deserves its own monument. As the nation braced for a second round of Trump’s presidency, the inauguration featured frigid indoor ceremonies at the Capitol rotunda, a fitting venue for the chilly reception the liberal elite are no doubt nursing.
At 78, Trump stands tall with Vice President JD Vance by his side, ready to reignite the passion of the Republican base. The early indicators show Trump isn’t just here to play; he’s here to win. A Morning Consult poll from January 24-26 reveals that 52% of registered voters are applauding Trump’s performance, an impressive eight-point post-term jump from 2021. Meanwhile, only a smattering of 44% can muster any disapproval, with a whopping 78% of Democrats and over half of independents still shaking their heads in disbelief.
Delving into the numbers provides a laugh or two—Trump scores a 55% approval on national security and 56% on immigration, beating down the competition purely with his baldly effective approach to these issues. From a distance, it looks like the voters are responding positively to the nostalgia of a secure border and a booming economy. Even the wayward leftwingers might admit Trump has some tricks up his sleeve—a 17-point edge in economic approval signals that voters are yearning for the bread and butter policies that make America tick.
In a landscape marred by inflation and rising costs, nearly 80% of voters are demanding that the Trump administration focus on lowering the prices of essential goods. As households scrape by, initiatives aimed at easing these burdens reflect common sense—roll back the regulations inhibiting small businesses and ramp up domestic energy production. Trump’s return feels less like a political comeback and more like a rescue operation for the American family wallet.

As if to ensure that no stone goes unturned, Trump wasted no time in getting to business with an array of executive orders. He declared a national emergency at the southern border, announcing mass deportation efforts to reclaim American soil and reign after years of misguided policies. In a bold stroke against globalism, he withdrew the U.S. from the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Agreement, much to the dismay of international bureaucrats who expected nothing less than blind compliance.
In the first week alone, Trump’s decisiveness shines through—by scrapping DEI programs and focusing on enforcement, he’s clearly sending a message. While some may quibble with specifics like mass deportations, the majority are behind securing the border and curbing illegal immigration. There’s an unmistakable energy brewing around Trump’s agenda, one that resonates with conservatives eager to see the nation return to prosperity, safety, and a sense of common sense governance. Washington might be shifting, but it appears to be shifting back to a time that many Americans long for.
