In the world of liberal media, what constitutes a “loss” is often subjective, especially when it comes to their favorite punching bag, Donald Trump. Recently, Danny Cevallos, the legal analyst for MSNBC, decided to rain on the parade of leftists who revel in the idea that Trump is crumbling under the weight of court challenges. His message was simple: the Trump team isn’t going anywhere, nor are they losing.
Cevallos pointed out a few pearls of wisdom that left-wing pundits would rather ignore. First and foremost, Trump isn’t taking a knee. The courts may throw around rulings like confetti, but a new executive order could easily wrench their momentum back to the Trump team. And contrary to what many may hope, a stay on an order doesn’t signal defeat; it’s more like a timeout in a game—hardly the end of play.
MSNBC's legal analyst leaves far left panel on the verge of tears after informing them Trump is not really losing legal battles.

While leftist commentators likely had their morning coffee accompanied by tears of frustration, Cevallos bluntly stated that these so-called legal setbacks are not catastrophic blows to the Trump administration. The legal battles are more akin to a scrimmage than a championship game. In reality, there is no definitive scoreboard that favors one side over the other in this drawn-out legal drama, as both teams expect a fight and brace themselves for it.
Cevallos’s statements punctured the left’s bubble of optimism, but in the grand scheme of things, they should be used to this by now. He pointed out that even if leftist headlines scream about Trump’s misfortunes, it doesn’t reflect the actual state of play. In fact, the Trump administration is well-prepared to tackle the twists and turns of the judiciary. The appeal process may be their favorite game, one played with no real penalty.
Turning attention to his own network, Cevallos took a jab at the absurdity of the headlines that come out of MSNBC. A prime example is the eyebrow-raising treatment of the Laken Riley case, where the network provided sympathetic coverage for an illegal alien charged with murder. One can’t help but wonder why a supposedly reputable news source devotes time to advocating for lawbreakers while downplaying genuine accountability. Cevallos’s moment of clarity, albeit a rare occurrence on a network like MSNBC, reminds viewers that the narrative can sometimes be twisted beyond recognition.
Ultimately, in the great theater of political and legal conflict, it’s safe to say that Trump is still in the game. While the left may have their dream scenarios of his downfall, Cevallos’s analysis serves as a reality check that suggests they need to buckle up for this rollercoaster ride a while longer. The only real winners in this ongoing saga are those who sit back, pop some popcorn, and enjoy the show.
