Donald Trump used his return to the White House for his second presidency to issue 225 executive orders, reconfigure federal organizations and policy and start changing the world in the process.
› DOGE: It started with a bang and self-imposed deadlines. The intractable nature of permanent Washington kept African American Elon Musk and his team from their stated goals of a trillion in cuts. Cockroaches scattered in D.C.; some dug in.
Dems reacted like they always do, by putting forth intelligent and workable alternative ideas. Just kidding — they painted swastikas and torched Teslas.
You know the Democrats are in trouble when their only voice of reason is Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, who has had a stroke, falls a lot and wears clothing that looks like he stole it from a laundromat near a community college.
Reports say they cut only $170 billion a year; USAID and other nefarious kickback NGOs were cut. That was a good thing. Hyperbolic liberals said this would cause famine in Africa. To make up for the cuts, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris promised to donate their personal fortunes to Africa after receiving compelling emails from a Nigerian prince.
In 180 days, Musk did a lot, cut over a trillion of spending over the next 10 years, weeded out fraud and probably fathered three kids.
A lot of things can still be cut: for instance, wasteful jobs that have no discernible outcomes, like congressional chaplain. As jobs go, only mind readers at the Golden Globes have less to do all day.
Even with DOGE and tax cuts, I pre-filed my 2025 tax return, and I still owe Somalia $5,500.
› Wars and Israeli hostages: Trump ended several wars, one between Pakistan and India, possibly averting World War 7-11. Trump got the Gaza/Israeli slaughter to end. And he got the Israeli hostages freed. He is on a heater; his next move is to see if he can get Bill Belichick released from the captivity of his young girlfriend.
And Trump has started no wars unless you count the one with the ladies of “The View.”
› Closed the border: Biden and Kamala assured us that the border was secure, but we all knew it was not. For most Democrats, the U.S. Open was the name of Joe Biden’s immigration policy.
Trump has deported a fraction of what “Deporter and Chief” Obama did.
› Celebrities continue to leave the country: Ellen and her wife; actress Kristen Stewart; country artist Elsie; Angelina Jolie; director James Cameron; and Rosie O’ Donnell. Trump’s self-deportation initiative is working.
› Freedoms: Trump, although not very religious himself (he read the Bible once, but seeing no mention of himself he didn’t read it again), has stood up for freedom of religion. In many places Trump has found Jesus, and each time he has had him deported.
› Drug deaths: Trump has shut the border and blown up fishing boats full of drugs and fentanyl. The result is the numbers of Americans dying from this poison sent into our country are down 27%, according to the Trump-hating CDC.
The left did not like this either, saying Trump ordered “double taps” of drug boat missile attacks. There has not been a president who has done so much double tapping in his first year since Bill Clinton.
› MAHA: RFK Jr. and Trump have done more to reverse obesity and reverse the declining health trends of Americans to Make America Healthy Again. They redefined the food pyramid, designed by the empty carb-loving health care industrial complex, moving us toward more whole foods.
TV’s Dr. Oz joined the team, heading up Medicare, and reminded folks: “We should not have alcohol for breakfast.” This confirms my suspicion: Doctor Oz is a quack.
