Rep. Jim Jordan recently delivered a powerful reminder to conservatives: it’s time for former President Donald Trump to remind Americans just how much better life was during his administration. During an appearance on a weekend show, Jordan pointed to another gaffe from the current Vice President, Kamala Harris, who stammered her way through a debate, completely dodging a fundamental question: Are Americans better off today than they were four years ago? It’s hard to believe this is the same woman who was once heralded as a promising leader.
Jordan noted that her inability to respond seemed to be part of a broader trend—a trend in which Democrats conveniently ignore reality. At the same time, the rest of us grapple with skyrocketing gas prices and a crime rate that would cause any sane person to reconsider their evening strolls. Jordan cleverly highlighted the differences between life under Trump and the regrettable state of the nation today. Under Trump, gas was cheap, borders were secure, crime rates were low, and inflation was just a word people occasionally overheard at family gatherings, not a reality they faced at the grocery store.
Exclusive — Jim Jordan: Trump Must Remind Americans How Much Better Off They Were Under His Leadership https://t.co/qHYO3Xx1ap via @BreitbartNews

The representative provided a striking analysis, suggesting that every American should take a moment to reflect upon the past four years. The stark contrast couldn’t be clearer. The Biden-Harris administration has left behind secure borders for open ones, $2 gas prices for $4 (and climbing), and a safe neighborhood for a landscape of lawlessness. Quite simply, Jordan posed a question that should resonate with anyone struggling to pay their bills: Which era was superior?
He insisted that despite the opposing media powerhouse propping up the current administration, facts cannot be rewritten. Trump must take center stage and draw the lines that illustrate this juxtaposition. Jordan asserted that Trump’s ability to project strength—not just in heartfelt rhetoric but in decisive action—is something sorely lacking in the current leadership. There is a palpable sense of insecurity emanating from the White House, while during Trump’s tenure, even foreign adversaries thought twice before making aggressive moves against the U.S.
The rep’s advice for Trump was crystal clear: remind Americans of how it used to be. Nostalgia can be a powerful tool, especially in politics, especially when that nostalgia is paired with undeniable facts. Americans are feeling the pinch of inflation, the frustration of high dinner bills, and overall insecurity. President Trump needs to be the candidate who not only rekindles memories of the “good old days” but also offers a solid plan to return to that era. With just over 50 days until the election, the time is ripe for bringing home the point: the choice is clear, and so is the hope for a return to sanity and stability.
