Astonishingly, during Donald Trump’s first term, he managed to reach a net approval rating of positivity for a mere 11 days. This stark contrast to his current standing showcases the audience’s belief in the man. Fast forward to the present moment, and Trump has racked up an impressive 21 days of net positive approval throughout his second term. The reason behind this remarkable shift? It comes down to an unmistakable fact: Trump delivers on his promises.
Currently, a substantial 70 percent of Americans feel that the president is fulfilling his commitments, and these commitments largely consist of policies that starkly oppose those of the Biden administration. It’s hard to ignore the significant enforcement of immigration laws, with ICE doing the essential work of removing criminals from the country. This is a major escalation from April 2017, when only 46 percent of Americans believed Trump was actually following through on his promises.
CNN's Harry Entin stunned by Trump's high approval ratings:
“Whoa, whoa, whoa! Just 11 days, Donald Trump had a net positive approval rating”

Democrats find themselves in a state of bewilderment, scratching their heads as to how they ended up in this predicament. It appears they completely miscalculated the political landscape, convinced that Trump would lose due to issues like abortion and what they claimed was a lack of popularity. They failed to realize the strength of the Trump base as well as the cracks forming within their own coalition. Not a single poll indicated that Biden or Kamala Harris could outpace Trump among various voter demographics. While they floundered, the former president made significant inroads, especially with working-class voters who are increasingly turned off by the Democrats’ rigid ideologies.
In a baffling display of political ignorance, the Democrats seem ideologically trapped, appealing primarily to a narrow base that includes progressive singles and those desperately vying for social justice points. Meanwhile, the GOP has embraced a more diverse and energetic affiliation, championing the interests of the multiracial working class. The Democrats’ elitist, exclusionary approach has alienated actual Americans who are looking for sensible and effective leadership.
The once-established Obama coalition has crumbled, failing to engage younger voters while also losing ground with traditional working-class constituencies. This reality is a devastating blow to the Democrats, who thought they could rely on coalition-building. The GOP’s vision is clearer now: it’s not just a coalition of angry Twitter users; it’s a robust network of hardworking individuals united in their pursuit of progress.
In this context, the Republican Party reins supreme, representing a wide cross-section of America while the Democrats cling to an outdated model that increasingly resembles more of a cringe-inducing meme than a viable political strategy. With their current trajectory, it’s likely the Democratic leadership will soon realize that in political warfare, it’s better to check your flanks than to hold on to elitist notions of superiority.
