LeAlan Jones: "No Sacred Cow In DC is Safe"
Uno, Dos, Tres, Cuatro. What four weeks says about the next four years of the Trump Administration.
The political ideological intransigence of liberal Washington D.C Democrats, coupled with their belief President Donald Trump will shoot his MAGA movement in the foot. Which would jettison them to a launch point back into political relevance. Is wishful thinking they can't afford to be wrong about. Yet, they are and will continue to be.
This would be as solid a line of reasoning as the Kansas City Chiefs thinking their offensive-line was ready for the Super Bowl. MAGA is hitting harder the Eagles defensive lineman.

President Trump's return to the Oval Office has been worth the last 48 months of former President Biden's administration's attempt to keep him from ever being the country's CEO again. It's only been four weeks and Americans' political appetite, pro or con, for the president's agenda have been reignited. Liberal Democrats are more engaged in quixotic protest against President Trump than they ever were to have supported the ephemeral Biden years; and its substandard legislative and global agenda beyond political vengeance.
President Trump is establishing a more compelling truth about liberal Democrats, and their duplicitous backroom politics than they told about him. Russian collusion has been supplanted with waste, fraud and abuse at scale is real news. Foreign Policy is still being used as a Private Equity deal. Nonetheless, multiple transformational events have a foundation under the new administration.

At a minimum, the Executive Leader in the current administration is in the arena. The second term is exposing in detail how Washington DC politics is a sustainable/eco friendly dumpster fire. In the middle of a dry prairie.
The math says Trump will expand his support from non-MAGA Trump voters.
This is all unprecedented statistical politics. It's likely by the 100th day being in Office, his polling could be above 60%. This level of support from the American people will be at the expense of his political opposition, and their unproductive solidarity imploding.
The liberal Democrats are in a checkers game with a chess player. All their counter moves on the political checkerboard are not initiating; they're reacting like headless chickens.
President Donald Trump is a known fan of chess
The Federal District Judges are being used to impede the speed of President Trump's agenda are akin to aggressive defensive-linemen who are attacking the Quarterback. They assume they beat the offensive lineman at the snap of the ball. To then realize the Running Back released underneath them, and it was a screen pass.
The Federal District Judges are exposing themselves as being partisan by inducement, and a frantic, reactionary minority legislative constituency that needs them as their last resort. Each emergency ruling essentially delegitimizes them. Every emergency order they issue diminishes their influence to stop the long game.
Yet, some of these judges aren't falling for the bait. Which means the liberal Democrats are stuck and limited in their ability to respond to the boldest president in American history.
I suspect the administration is playing with covert and overt management with how they're rolling out its policy. Executive powers are absolute, when legislative powers have been so duplicitous over so many do nothing Congresses. This is why the liberal Democrats can't impede the president's agenda. Not because of his omnipotence but their incompetence.
The “dictatorship and autocracy” buzzwords liberal Democrats are choosing to do battle with are limp. The liberal Democrats and their mismanagement of public institutions has lots of meat on the political bone. Enough to overwhelm calling the president “Hitler” because waste, fraud and abuse has been used to liquidate the wealth from taxpayers is emotional not factual.

The votes along party lines, not supporting the approval of controversial cabinet posts of the president, are one trick ponies that will represent liberal Democrats having sustainable solidarity. This is potentially why DC liberal Democrats sacred cows are about to be sacrificed to the political gods.
The Democrats will suffer more significant losses in the midterms, in the House and Senate. Albeit the economy being tepid. Inflation in the near-term is likely to elevate. However, long-term a stronger domestic economy would drive down inflation and increase domestic manufacturing.
Elon Musk is Robin and President Trump is Batman fighting the good fight in a $37 Trillion Debt-City. Only the Penguin, The Joker and The Riddler have ever tried to divide them. DOGE is exposing the puffiness in the adult diapers of liberal DC Democrats is more than number one.

Independent voters are being compelled as they see the Department of Government Efficiency provide government waste in real-time at unprecedented levels. When the waste, fraud and abuse accumulates to over a Three-Trillion dollars. Or 10% of the National Debt. The only asset to defend the liberal Democratic opposition will be the media.
The media's bias against Trump is being exposed with ABC settling its libel case with President Trump. CBS will eventually settle on a more massive level. NBC will have to sell MSNBC at the Dollar General. CNNs management will continue to push their left-leaning media assets out the door. I plan to listen to Jim Acosta's Podcast on YouTube soon.

PBS and NPR are publicly funded and have no recourse but to have a more balanced tone when reporting the political facts. Especially with their corporate backers potentially distancing their donations away from institutions which are both poster children for DEI. BlueSky, the liberal social media platform is where you cry digital tears on the keyboard among friends.
Unnoticed, but the first major statement made by President Trump, was his refusal to not name his Vice President as the heir apparent to the MAGA movement, is a master tactical political strategy. If Trump had said JD was the heir to MAGA. The president's opposition would have a target to galvanize a formidable response in opposition research, over the next 47 months.
Absent an obvious heir, MAGA is much, much more formidable over the next three election cycles–maybe four. The liberal Democrats overplayed their Trump fixation. Ostensibly, the failure to adjust has made them terminal. Trump is demonstrating political nuance which suggests his real political agenda hasn't started yet. This is merely a pregame stretch and the warm up. The whistle for kickoff has not been blown yet.
