Vice President JD Vance took to the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), unleashing a whirlwind of comical insights and serious policy discussions. In a display of both wit and political savvy, he underscored the accomplishments of the Trump administration during its aggressive re-launch into the political arena. With a humor-laden jab at CNN, he reminded the audience of just how far the media has fallen, a recurring theme in conservative circles.
Vance wasted no time in highlighting President Trump’s quick action since taking office for a second term. In just over a month, the administration has already signed a remarkable number of executive orders, a stark contrast to the gridlock that often plagues Washington. The focus has been clear: securing the borders, revitalizing energy independence, and tackling out-of-control government spending. As Vance pointed out, the press has struggled to keep pace with this frenetic action—no surprise considering their fixation on narratives over reality.
With the perfect opportunity presented by CPAC moderator Mercedes Schlapp, Vance crafted a humorous retort about CNN’s dismal viewership. He quipped that the administration’s output of executive orders likely outnumbers CNN’s nightly viewers, proving yet again that Trump’s presidency has become a ratings disaster for the network. Vance lamented the media’s futile attempts to drop Trump like a bad habit, noting that their anti-Trump obsession was an unsuccessful recipe for reviving their floundering viewership.
Shifting gears from comedy to pressing issues, Vance vocally supported Trump’s focused approach on immigration, proclaiming that border crossings have plummeted by over 90% due to the administration’s decisive actions. This is the kind of news that gets patriotic viewers cheering. Vance articulated a vision for economic resurgence based on energy independence and job growth, suggesting it’s time to revive the iconic slogan, “drill, baby, drill,” ensuring that America taps into its own resources rather than relying on foreign imports.

The Vice President also didn’t hold back when addressing the absurdity of federal spending on overseas programs that would make even the most staunch liberal blush. He questioned why taxpayer dollars were being squandered on perplexing modern art initiatives in Afghanistan when those funds could be spent to directly benefit American citizens. The crowd couldn’t help but laugh at the idea of America subsidizing public art that certainly won’t hang in any fine museum back home.
As Trump’s second term gathers steam, Vance reiterated that the administration is dedicated to prioritizing the needs of the American people over wildly extravagant government spending. With over 70 executive orders already in play, Trump is proving to be a formidable force in the political arena. His rapid-fire executive actions are reshaping policies across the board, tossing aside the detrimental legacy of the previous administration and signaling a new era for hardline conservative policies in governance.
