They don’t talk about egg prices anymore. Inflation has disappeared from their daily talking points. You’ll hear nothing about tariffs, the stock market, or the border crisis they once screamed about nonstop. Why?
Because those issues – once weaponized against President Trump – have all improved under his leadership. And with Trump back in office, once again tackling these challenges head-on, the left has lost the argument – and they know it.
Every one of these “crises” was once a cudgel. The media elevated each one with the clear goal of assigning blame to President Trump. Yet every time, Trump didn’t run from the issue – he took it head-on, and in full public view.
Trump Faced the Fire – and Fixed What They Broke
Let’s walk through it:
- Egg Prices? They surged under Biden due to supply chain mismanagement and inflation. Under Trump, they’ve stabilized again, thanks to aggressive action in logistics and domestic production.
- Inflation? What Biden called “transitory” became a runaway economic threat. Trump brought it down through smart energy policy, controlled federal spending – restoring business confidence.
- Tariffs? Once mocked by Democrats and media economists, Trump has proven that targeted tariffs can protect American industry and bring foreign governments to the negotiating table.
- The Stock Market? After years of volatility, it has surged again under pro-growth, America-first policies.
- The Border? Where the Biden administration left chaos, Trump restored order. Apprehensions are down. Cooperation with Mexico is back. And the federal government is enforcing the law again.
Every time the left used an issue to smear Trump, he didn’t dodge it – he solved it. And every time he succeeded, the media moved on, quietly burying the topic they had once treated as the end of the world.
Silence Speaks Volumes
There’s no mystery here. The left has stopped talking about the economy, the markets, and the border because they lost the debate. Trump’s policies work. Their criticisms didn’t hold up. Their dire predictions didn’t materialize. And their real fear isn’t that Trump fails, it’s that he succeeds while everyone’s watching.
So now they pivot again. Not toward policy or reform but toward disruption. Toward violence masked as activism. Toward identity politics and fringe cultural wars. They can’t win the argument, so they change the subject – or worse, burn the stage.
From Narrative to Anarchy
With Trump back in office delivering real results, the left has collapsed into the only strategy they have left: chaos. What they once called “resistance” has devolved into vandalism, riots, and mass disruption all under the guise of fighting “authoritarianism.”
Let’s be blunt: there is no comparison between this and January 6. One was a brief riot that resulted in harsh prosecutions and endless media coverage. The other is a sustained, politically motivated campaign of organized disruption, openly encouraged by prominent Democrats and quietly tolerated by the press.
- There are no primetime hearings for leftist mobs torching federal buildings.
- No national headlines for those who attack ICE agents, block highways, or occupy campuses.
- No calls to investigate the organizers, to prosecute the funders, or to shut down the online propaganda fueling the unrest.
Why?
Because this chaos serves their political ends. It distracts from Trump’s success. It disrupts his progress. It gives them a narrative they can control – because they can’t control results.
The Mexico Paradox
And while we’re speaking truths, let’s address the final absurdity: the same protesters who chant about how wonderful Mexico is – while flying Mexican flags and condemning American sovereignty – are the very same people who fled Mexico to come here. If Mexico is so great, why cross deserts, rivers, and borders to leave it?
You cannot escape a nation and then demand your new nation bow to the flag of the one you fled. That’s not pride. It’s hypocrisy.
Final Word
The Democrats no longer talk about the economy, the border, or inflation because Trump is winning where they failed. Their accusations have collapsed under the weight of real results. So now they riot. They shout. They manufacture outrage and chaos, hoping the American people will forget.
But we haven’t. We remember how bad it was under their leadership. We see the difference now. We know the playbook. And I pray, this time, we don’t fall for it again.
President Trump has exposed the left’s game, and the American people have had enough.
