Mobs, Messaging, and Midterms: What 2025 Revealed About The Left | 12.27.25

So, a lot of this is really just kind of hot air by liberals and Democrats.

Morning Wire
Mobs, Messaging, and Midterms: What 2025 Revealed About The Left | 12.27.25

But for Trump, yeah, a lot of it might be messaging, pushing an idea, pushing ideas, but legislatively, probably not getting all that much done, frankly.

Foreign policy could be a difference, as it always is, which is one of the reasons for one of his great successes so far has been the Abraham Accords, because that's something he was able to do on his own, with his staff, and without King Trump's approval of his National Assembly.

Well, I would say you could look at the enduring impact.

What do we call Trump's movement?

Morning Wire
Mobs, Messaging, and Midterms: What 2025 Revealed About The Left | 12.27.25

The MAGA movement.

Morning Wire
Mobs, Messaging, and Midterms: What 2025 Revealed About The Left | 12.27.25

What does MAGA stand for?

Morning Wire
Mobs, Messaging, and Midterms: What 2025 Revealed About The Left | 12.27.25

Make America Great Again.

Morning Wire
Mobs, Messaging, and Midterms: What 2025 Revealed About The Left | 12.27.25

That was actually Ronald Reagan's slogan in 1980.

Mobs, Messaging, and Midterms: What 2025 Revealed About The Left | 12.27.25

In fact, I recently went back and was looking through my book, The Crusader, on Ronald Reagan and the fall of communism, because it was the basis of the Reagan movie.

starring Dennis Quaid.

Morning Wire

And so, I went back, I'd written that book 20 years ago.

Morning Wire
Mobs, Messaging, and Midterms: What 2025 Revealed About The Left | 12.27.25

And I went back, John, just to try to kind of familiarize myself, because I was going to be doing interviews.

Morning Wire
Mobs, Messaging, and Midterms: What 2025 Revealed About The Left | 12.27.25

And I think part two of the book was called Make America Great Again.

Morning Wire
Mobs, Messaging, and Midterms: What 2025 Revealed About The Left | 12.27.25

And I thought, geesh, that's exactly right.

Morning Wire
Mobs, Messaging, and Midterms: What 2025 Revealed About The Left | 12.27.25

That was Reagan's slogan.

Morning Wire
Mobs, Messaging, and Midterms: What 2025 Revealed About The Left | 12.27.25

I actually have a button, a campaign button in my office someone gave me with Reagan's face that says, Make America Great Again.

Morning Wire
Mobs, Messaging, and Midterms: What 2025 Revealed About The Left | 12.27.25

So that shows that it's still Reagan's impact.

Morning Wire
Mobs, Messaging, and Midterms: What 2025 Revealed About The Left | 12.27.25

And Reagan is the standard bearer of the party.

Look, you and I are probably old enough to remember, Republican parties around the country, in different states, localities, counties, they hold Lincoln Day dinners.
