Why do Democrats claim a constitutional crisis?
Democrats keep claiming that we're in a constitutional crisis. They haven't learned their lesson yet. They kept saying during the last election cycle that Donald Trump was a threat to democracy. You heard this over and over and over. Republicans, Trump, they were a threat to democracy. Everything Trump did was a threat to democracy. Meanwhile, they were weaponizing the Department of Justice to go after President Trump. Joe Biden was thinking of new ways nearly every day to violate the Constitution. Well, now, when that particular line didn't work, the threat to democracy line, they've transmuted it into a constitutional crisis. You see, it is now a constitutional crisis if the elected president of the United States appoints a person to go through all of the executive branches of government, all the various agencies, and root out waste, fraud, and abuse. Now this is a constitutional crisis.
No one thinks this is a constitutional crisis, which is why Donald Trump's approval ratings remain in the mid-50s at this point, the highest they've been in his entire career. There's a brand new poll out from the UK Daily Mail, and it shows his approval rating at 53%. 53%. That includes 57% of men, 49% of women, 51% of people aged 18 to 29, and 59% of people aged 30 to 49. In fact, the people who are least likely to support President Trump at this point are the older folks, the 65 pluses. Democrats must be absolutely peeing their pants at this point. Because here's the thing. Most Americans look at what Trump is doing, particularly with Elon Musk and his revolutionary approach to government, which, again, should just be common sense.
Send somebody in to audit all these various agencies, figure out where the money is being wasted, and then don't waste our taxpayer money. It should just be basic common sense. It should be a 100% issue. Democrats are freaking out because, as we've discussed, the reality is the Democrats have built an entire bureaucratic system designed to do their will, whether they are in power or out of power. The deep state that Donald Trump complained about during his first term, he was talking about the deep state thwarting his will on everything from foreign to domestic policy or militarizing itself against his presidency by... putting together ridiculous nonsense like the Mueller report. But the reality is the deep state, meaning a permanent bureaucratic structure designed to funnel taxpayer money to allies of Democrats in and out of government, that has been a century-long project, and Donald Trump is systematically dismantling it. And the American people are for this.
If Democrats try to claim that that's a constitutional crisis, a threat to democracy, the elected president going to unelected bureaucrats and telling them not to spend taxpayer money, that is one of the least fascistic things I've ever heard in my entire life. It turns out that fascism is about centralization of power. in one man or in an oligarchy, who then take more control over the people. I have yet to hear of a fascist movement that delegates more power back out to the people away from a centralized bureaucracy. I've never heard of anything remotely like that. Please, name the last fascist movement that minimized the power of the executive in Americans' lives. You're gonna have to figure this one out.
But Democrats don't want to figure that one out, so they're just going to keep shouting nostrums. Well, yesterday, President Trump kept the momentum going. According to the Washington Post, President Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order that calls on federal agencies to work with Doge in a bid to cut their existing workforce and limit future hiring. Ahead of that signing, Trump was joined in the Oval Office by Elon Musk, and it was highly entertaining. So first, Trump had in Musk and Elon likes to bring around his son X, like everywhere. When we went to Auschwitz together, he brought his son X because his basic principle is I'm bringing my kid everywhere. And since I'm the richest person in the world, I can.
