Summary

In his first four weeks back in office, Trump has aggressively pushed executive orders, spending freezes, and mass firings, drawing both outrage and support.

To low-information voters, this flurry of orders appears like decisive action, boosting his approval ratings despite legal challenges.

His cuts to DEI programs and USAID funding resonate with those frustrated by government spending. However, opposition to Elon Musk’s role in the administration is growing.

Democrats are urged to shift their messaging from abstract policy fights to personal impacts on local communities.

      This is also coming out of Forbes. I would take anything they say about Trump or Elmo with a grain of salt because they’re on the side of the wealthy elites.

      And as this is written by a conservative strategist

      Wait, but the unhinged right and the Enlightened Bothsiderists keep telling me that the media is liberal.

      How can this even be?
