Sadly, far too many Americans have little time to pay attention to much of anything except getting the means together to support their families. They still get much of their 'mistaken' information from our 'Legacy, corrupt, Media.' Unless, like that 2020 farce of a presidential election, this past election was corrupted/FIXED (Alaska), too many folk voted, or in FAILING to vote otherwise, for these Socialists/Communists into America's governments, both locally and federally! As former Speaker Newt Gingrich state: "It Will Take Years To Undo This, If It Ever Gets Undone!" As was said in my long ago military days, "STAND BY, IT CAN AND WILL GET WORSE."
Trump’s Achilles heel is media coverage. They don't want conservative eyeballs so they ignore the adult successes of his administration to focus on the immaterial “vibes” and “ethos” and “aura” that millennial and Gen Z voters want.
Media doesn't care about policy or strategy. They are motivated by ad dollars.
Until there is a good path to monetizing the value of genuine accomplishments, real solid governance won't sell to advertisers.
Trump is so adept with media it's easy to recognize where the logjam is.
The platforms are not targeting audience profiles that support him organically - they are targeting audiences with spending power that supports rot products from China.
The people who buy the rot are not homeowners because they have debt from the college degree con. And they are still whining about what they don't have, without acknowledging what they never did to earn it.
You missed my point that Trump is one man. The anti-Trumpers stood in the way because the people previously voted to close the borders and polls showed people wanted to pass the SAVE act. TDS not only affects Democrats, it affected Republicans. Cowardly Republicans did nothing to support President Trump and that is why many people are saying that Republican im Congress and the Senate deserve to have to endure the consequences of cowardice.
Drive-by media, I love it. We live in different media bubbles, and my used-to-be liberal, now leftist women friends actually do not get any of the same information that I get because they're hooked on the New York Times, the Atlantic, the Economist, and locally here in Seattle, the Seattle Times.
It's just an indicator of the miracle that Trump's been able to get anything done, let alone all the great things he has gotten done, given that the leftist contingent operates all the education, the media, the entertainment industry, everything. The degree to which they let his personality get under their skin is amazing.
Again, I'm with him on his goals. I think some of his strategies weren't that great, or aren't that great, but many of them are great, as you mentioned. To your point, no one even knows what he's done, but the whole “democracy's at stake” preposterousness gives me a stomach ache.
Voters fell for a scam. Even if fuel prices fall, the people who voted for affordability will not be pacified by the incoming Senate and Congress. The DSA/Democrats will never admit that the economy grows only when people are allowed to keep their money instead of taxing it away. MSM still has a huge amount of leverage in the nation.
That catastrophic election proves that America has two major problems: 1) Americans have 'short term memories,' and react with 'knee jerk' immediacy, absent thinking. 2) Perhaps the most damaging: 'America's society has devolved into a narcissistic, instant gratification, secular, society.' Far too many Americans(?) have swept aside JFK's admonishment, "Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You, Ask What 'You' Can Do For Your Country!"
One more time, boys and girls, America's society is a 'Me, Me, Me, what have you done for Me' diseased one. No matter what your financial situation was/is, there was NO EXCUSE for ushering Communism/Socialism into America's governments! Those who voted for these Commies, and those failing to vote otherwise, are now complicit in what surely will be the PAIN to come for ALL of us.
"Congress should make factory-structure expensing permanent before the window closes. A manufacturer choosing Ohio or Monterrey needs confidence that the rule survives the next election. The permitting reform both parties profess to favor should impose hard deadlines on federal goverment review. A 1.4 gigawatt data center needs 1.4 gigawatts of generation, and America cannot make a gas plant wait on a seven-year timeline." Ahh, that feckless, inept, incompetent GOP (Grand Old Putzes) controlled Congress. They have about 50 days to SALVAGE any of the 'GOOD STUFF' President Trump brought about with those Executive Orders, along with getting those administrative positions and Judgeships filled nationwide! Any Christians, even those 40%+ that FAILED to vote, should hit their knees praying this return to American manufacturing does not get derailed!
America WON WWII because we had a manufacturing base that the countries we fought could not compete with COMBINED! We LOST much of the time in the early days of that war; however, though our enemies began with far better gear and machines, we cranked out those cookie cutter Sherman tanks by the hundreds, and finally Germany's Tigers were extinct, Singer Sowing machine company, and others, built M-1 Garands, referred to by none other that 'Blood and Guts' Patton as the “GREATEST BATTLE IMPLEMENT EVER DEVISED”. Today, in spite of President Trump's military enhancement, America would be hard pressed to fight wars on TWO fronts, as was done in WWII! That manufacturing ability, long squandered abroad, as noted, will take YEARS to rebuild, and, as is said in my neck of the woods, "GIT'ER DUN!"
I think your inflation numbers fail to take into account the fact that lower inflation doesn't mean that inflation has retreated, but rather that we're not inflating as fast in the given period. In other words, the dollar is still worth less than it was under the Biden administration because we have the cumulative effect of all the inflation during Trump 2.0 that was ADDED to the Biden administration's disastrous inflation.
There are too many foreigners in the United States taking jobs from young, White Male Americans. That's who showed up and voted for Democrats last week. This tone deaf defense of the Trump administration is only going to push those men further away from Conservatism and into the arms of the DSA.
Great article! One thing I never hear talked about by republicans that should be is the $7 trillion put in circulation by Trump 45 (year 4) and Biden. That money had to go into the economy and the fact that we haven’t had a deep recession with very high inflation is due to Trump 47’s policies. Some of it was absorbed during Biden’s inflation, but not all. If we had a president Harris right now the economic picture would be far more bleak.
Excellent article and absolute truth 🙏
How can America survive allowing the media to?
Our media and the government they have ushered in are far, FAR more dangerous to America than ten Irans with nukes.

The Republican Party was Trump’s Achilles heel. The media has always been against Conservatives.

I don't disagree. Just recognize the impact of monetization of content and how monetization impacts distribution.
People react more than they ideate. Sad but true. And monetization drives distribution which fuels reaction.
So I agree about behaviors of the tribe who did not support real change reflecting the sentiments of adult voters.
The kids won this because the media needs their eyeballs to sell crap.No critical thought needed. Tik Tok won this election cycle.

Gas dropped here by 40 cents a gallon two days after the election. Too coincidental for me.
