President Trump's executive orders and rapid fire moves to deep clean the country has those on the left freaking out.
Not even a month has gone by and President Trump is already doing a lot of what he promised he'd do. He's terminated multiple DEI offices and programs, he's banned gender-affirming care and biological men from competing in women's sports, and there's been more of a military presence at the southern border which has lead to a massive drop in illegal crossings. You've also had the corruption and government waste exposed by Elon Musk and members of DOGE, most notably from USAID, but from multiple other federal agencies as well.
The confirmations of Pete Hegseth as Department of Defense Secretary and more recently Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence have also angered Congressional Democrats. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Kash Patel still have to go through their Senate confirmation hearings too.
The public outcry from liberals has been strong since November 2024 with a good chance of growing even more this year. Democrats are throwing everything they can at the Trump administration to try and slow them down on getting their agenda in order.
"There's a scary combination right now of some very powerful people, who happen to be very evil people, who are very afraid right now of what is taking place inside the Trump administration," radio host and author Jesse Kelly told the Clay and Buck Show this week.
Democrats also don't like that Musk is exposing where millions and sometimes billions of dollars in taxpayer money is going.
"The only reason Democrats have achieved so much power in this country is they've figured out a way to have the taxpayer fund all their activism," Kelly said.
There's been a great deal of corruption uncovered by DOGE from USAID and Democrats have been the loudest ones against the corruption being transparent. Kelly expects even more astonishing things to come out of an audit of the Department of Defense.
"USAID is just the tip," said Kelly. "The Pentagon, the things they're going to find, the waste, the fraud, the flat out naked corruption, is going to stagger people."
Trump's moves have also boosted his job approval rating. The CBS News Poll conducted by YouGov has him at a 53 percent approval rating. A Reuters/Ipsos poll released in late January found that a strong majority (61%) of U.S. adults support Trump’s plan to downsize the government. Most people (59%) also support deporting illegal aliens and sending U.S. troops to the southern border (64%).
Meanwhile, the Democrat party is losing popularity and doubling down on most of their stances including abortion, communism and believing biological men should be able to play in women's sports and use women's areas.
