It&#8217;s ironic that after months of hearing how President Donald Trump is a tyrant, a dictator, a fascist, and that his presidency marks the end of the free world as we know it, Democrats would openly discuss upending democratic norms and institutions to consolidate power in their post-Trump &#8220;new era.&#8221;
James Carville, the political pundit who looks like he wandered out of a Tim Burton film, just screamed the quiet part aloud. &#8220;If the Democrats win the presidency and both houses of Congress, I think on day one, they should make Puerto Rico and D.C. a state, and they should expand the Supreme Court to 13. F*ck it. Eat our dust,&#8221; he said on a podcast released Thursday. &#8220;Don&#8217;t run on it. Don&#8217;t talk about it. Just do it.&#8221;
This isn&#8217;t a new tactic. He&#8217;s just not hiding it anymore. This old Clinton advisor is sick of Republicans, the evil villains they are, holding power, so he&#8217;s telling his colleagues to run as moderates, act like team players, and then, once in office, to radicalize, tear down institutions, seize power, and never relinquish it. That&#8217;s the play. Game over.
When Carville says, &#8220;make D.C. and Puerto Rico states,&#8221; most people don&#8217;t realize how loaded that is. The Senate gives every state exactly two senators regardless of population. That was the Founders&#8217; genius firewall, protecting smaller, rural, and conservative-leaning places from being steamrolled by massive liberal cities. Making D.C. (a federal district that has voted 90% Democrat since forever) and Puerto Rico (another Democrat-leaning territory) into states instantly hands Democrats four automatic new senators and additional House seats, flipping the Senate into a permanent blue lock. Not earned. Automatic.
The Constitution never intended the capital, kept under direct congressional control for a reason, to become a state. By the way, if either of these jurisdictions leaned right, we would not be having this conversation. Democrats would throw their bodies in front of a speeding freight train to stop Republicans from getting anywhere near that kind of power.
With permanent Senate control comes permanent judicial control. The Supreme Court sits at 6-3 conservative right now, and it has done an incredible job protecting Americans&#8217; rights on guns, parental authority, and freedom from regulatory overreach. Once those justices retire, a Democrat-controlled Senate would never confirm another conservative. Americans would be at the mercy of Ketanji Brown Jackson and company, which is more terrifying than Kamala Harris with a microphone after a glass of rosé.
That conservative Court has blocked radical progressive overreach time after time. It saved the Second Amendment, protected vulnerable children, struck down unconstitutional mandates, and kept the administrative state from running wild. Hand Democrats a 7-2 or 8-1 liberal majority, and every one of those protections evaporates overnight. Nationwide abortion on demand, gun confiscation, open borders codified into law, and a federal government free to regulate every inch of your life. Everything would go to hell in a handbasket, and there would be no off-ramp.
Statehood isn&#8217;t even the whole play. Democrats in Virginia, Illinois, Maryland, New York, and California are already redistricting, packing Republican voters into a handful of super-safe GOP districts while slicing conservative neighborhoods thin across Democratic ones, creating maps that look drawn by a blind, drunk cartoonist. This guarantees they’ll lock down the House too — no matter how many votes conservatives actually win nationwide.
Carville&#8217;s strategy is to run moderate, govern radically, and don&#8217;t tip your hand until it&#8217;s done. The gerrymandering already underway proves they aren&#8217;t waiting around.
They’re not stopping at redistricting either. As <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/free-expression/james-carville-invites-you-to-eat-his-dust-e95c57cc?mod=free-expression_lead_pos3">Matthew Hennessey laid out in his Wall Street Journal piece</a>, Democrats are already leaking decade-old Supreme Court memos to the New York Times and spinning conservative justices as sneaky, petty, planet-hating partisans — deliberately ruining public trust in the current 6-3 Court so Americans will be more willing to swallow court-packing when the time comes.
James Carville can keep cackling &#8220;F*ck it. Eat our dust&#8221; like some bald-headed villain, but this isn&#8217;t a bold Democratic power play. It&#8217;s a naked confession that they&#8217;ve lost faith in actually winning over the American people. Stack the Senate with automatic blue seats, pack the Court to erase its conservative firewall, redraw House maps until they look like abstract art, and saddle taxpayers with billions in new debt and welfare costs that bankrupt Puerto Rico can’t handle even now — and suddenly the &#8220;threat to democracy&#8221; they screamed about for eight straight years becomes their permanent business model.
James Madison saw this coming in <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/fed47.asp">Federalist 47</a>. President Ronald Reagan warned us about it every day of his public life. When one party has to rig the rules, the districts, and the judiciary just to stay in charge, they don&#8217;t believe in self-government anymore. They believe in ruling. Forever. The same people who called Donald Trump a fascist dictator are now openly engineering the constitutional off-ramp that would make actual tyranny look subtle.
So no, we won&#8217;t eat your dust.
We see the game. We see how close we are to the edge. This time, the good guys aren’t going to sit on the sidelines while evil walks through the front door wearing a smile and calling it “progress.” 
Get off X, get off the couch, and fight at every ballot box, school board, and statehouse, because <a href="https://www.reaganfoundation.org/ronald-reagan/quotes/freedom-is-never-more-than-one-generation-away-from">freedom really is one generation from extinction</a>, and the generation that lets Carville’s crew shatter these last firewalls will be the one that hands their kids a republic in name only.
Game over for them… if we decide it is.

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville took a page out of George Bernard Shaw&#8217;s &#8220;Pygmalion&#8221; and gave it a sickening twist, claiming on Wednesday that he could recruit a &#8220;convicted pedophile&#8221; and coach that candidate to a win over a Republican.
Carville — the brains behind former President Bill Clinton&#8217;s &#8220;it&#8217;s the economy, stupid&#8221; — cracked the off-color &#8220;joke&#8221; on his &#8220;Politics War Room&#8221; podcast in the wake of sweeping victories for Democrats in Tuesday&#8217;s elections. The joke was primarily a reference to Virginia Attorney General-elect Jay Jones, who won his election despite the revelation that he had once texted a colleague about wishing violence on a political opponent.

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville is fantasizing about having President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;collaborators&#8221; publicly humiliated and paraded in the streets — and he says that &#8220;the public should be invited to spit on them.&#8221;
Carville, the brains behind former President Bill Clinton&#8217;s &#8220;it&#8217;s the economy, stupid,&#8221; was speaking with Al Hunt on his &#8220;Politics War Room&#8221; podcast when he laid out what he referred to as a &#8220;fantasy dream&#8221; sequence of events that he&#8217;d like to see unfold after President Donald Trump leaves the White House in early 2029.

They should be put in orange pajamas, and they should be marched down Pennsylvania Avenue. And the public should be invited to spit on them.&#8221;
Hunt laughed as Carville continued, spitting out the word &#8220;collaborators&#8221; as if it were dirty: &#8220;The universities, the corporations, the law firms, all of these collaborators should be shaved, pajamaed, and spit on.&#8221;
Carville went on to say that he wasn&#8217;t really talking about corporations like Lockheed that had active government contracts, but rather those that &#8220;unnecessarily bent the knee to this guy.&#8221;
&#8220;The idea is you have to pay more because you did this, because it is the only way that you&#8217;re going to discourage future collaborators in the United States,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It&#8217;s a moral judgment. If you bend the knee to a criminal tyrant, and that&#8217;s what he is — understand, he is a criminal: 34 convictions would have been a lot more, okay, if they would have pursued it. He is a tyrant, he has no use for democracy, he has no use for the values of this country, and you are collaborating with this, and it will bring eternal shame to your company.&#8221;
Carville&#8217;s &#8220;fantasy dream&#8221; paints a picture strikingly similar to post-war Europe, where people accused of collaborating with the Nazi regime were often subjected to <a href="https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/irn1003496">retaliatory measures</a> ranging from public humiliation — such as having their heads shaved or being paraded through the streets where onlookers could attack them — to the famous Nuremberg Trials.

After he reportedly made the scurrilous claim that first lady Melania Trump had been introduced to her husband, Donald, by the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, her legal team sent Democratic strategist James Carville a message, prompting a public apology.
On the Politics War Room podcast hosted by Carville, in a recent discussion with leftist writer Judd Legum, Carville made the accusation, according to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14980601/melania-trump-james-carville-donald-trump-jeffrey-epstein.html">The Daily Mail</a>. A video from the podcast was released titled “The Epstein Connection: Trump and Melania.”
But after the missive from Melania’s lawyer, Carville issued this statement: “In last week’s podcast episode, we spoke with Judd Legum. After the episode, we received a letter from Melania Trump’s lawyer. He took issue with our title of one of those YouTube videos from that episode and a couple of comments I made about the First Lady.”
“We took a look at what they complained about, and we took down the video and edited out those comments from the episode,” the message continued. “I also take back these statements and apologize.” The video was deleted

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In late July, The Daily Beast removed an article that contended a modeling agent connected to Epstein introduced the first lady to her husband.
“The article, which detailed claims made by author Michael Wolff on a Daily Beast podcast, was replaced with an editor’s note apologizing ‘for any confusion’ after the first lady’s lawyers contacted the lefty outlet,” The New York Post <a href="applewebdata://99A5E016-B396-48AA-9D31-2AF1EB6DEB04/v">reported</a>.
“She’s introduced by a model agent, both of whom Trump and Epstein are involved with. She’s introduced to Trump that way,” Wolff alleged. “Epstein knows her well.”
“After this story was published, The Beast received a letter from First Lady Melania Trump’s attorney challenging the headline and framing of the article. After reviewing the matter, the Beast has taken down the article and apologizes for any confusion or misunderstanding,” he outlet stated.
In her 2024 memoir, Melania stated that she met Trump in September 1998 at a Fashion Week party at the Kit Kat Klub in New York City, writing, “I saw my friend wave at someone behind me. When I turned around, I noticed a man and an attractive blonde woman approaching us,” Melania wrote. “‘Hi. I’m Donald Trump,’ the man said when he reached my table.”

Melania Trump Puts Dem Strategist In His Place After Scurrilous Epstein Smear

Fake News

Melania Trump

Longtime Democratic Strategist James Carville let loose on his own party in a scathing op-ed, calling it &#8220;constipated,&#8221; &#8220;leaderless,&#8221; and &#8220;a cracked-out clown car&#8221; that was barreling down the road toward a &#8220;civilized civil war.&#8221;
Carville has often taken Democrats to task in recent years – particularly with regard to their obsession with &#8220;wokeness&#8221; — and his <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/21/opinion/carville-democrats-midterms-mamdani.html?smid=tw-share">column</a> in Monday&#8217;s edition of The New York Times was no exception.
&#8220;Our party is headed for a civilized civil war. It’s vital that we have it, and even more vital that we delay it,&#8221; Carville teased the column in an X post, acknowledging that there had to be some changes made within his party but calling on the people to try to keep it together at least until after the 2026 midterms.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;Constipated. Leaderless. Confused. A cracked-out clown car. Divided. These are the words I hear my fellow Democrats using to describe our party as of late. The truth is they’re not wrong: The Democratic Party is in shambles,&#8221; Carville wrote.
Carville went on to lay out the divisions made obvious by the rise of Democratic socialists in places like New York City — Queens councilman turned Democratic Mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, for example — and argued that the party would have to face a reckoning of sorts. It needed to happen, he conceded, but said that it should wait until after the 2026 midterm elections.
The solution, Carville claimed, would come in the form of a &#8220;savior&#8221; — one candidate who could bring about a New Democratic Party that brought both sides together. His assessment was that such &#8220;saviors&#8221; had arisen before in former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
&#8220;The Democratic Party is steamrolling toward a civilized civil war. It’s necessary to have it. It’s even more necessary to delay it. The only thing that can save us now is an actual savior, because a new party can be delivered only by a person — see Barack Obama in 2008 and Bill Clinton in 1992,&#8221; he said. &#8220;No matter how many podcasts or influencer streams our candidates go on, our new leader won’t arrive until the day after the midterms in November 2026, which marks the unofficial-yet-official beginning of the 2028 presidential primary contest. No new party or candidate has a chance for a breakthrough until that day.&#8221;
Whether or not Carville&#8217;s message will be well-received by Democrats remains to be seen. If former President Joe Biden&#8217;s embattled son Hunter is any indication, the likelihood is that it won&#8217;t.
&#8220;James Carville hasn’t won a race in 40 f***ing years,&#8221; the younger Biden said during a recent interview, sharply criticizing any Democrat who&#8217;d conceded that it was time for Joe Biden to bow out. &#8220;[David Axelrod] had one success in his political life and that was Barack Obama and that was because of Barack Obama.&#8221;

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville warned that if men were feeling let down by the Democratic Party, it was because Democrats had effectively &#8220;erased them&#8221; from society.

&#8220;If you ever want to understand the problem we have with younger men, listen to NPR for five minutes, four times a day, and you will understand,&#8221; Carville said, reflecting on recent polls that show a drop off in male support for Democrats.
Carville, known to many in political circles as &#8220;The Ragin&#8217; Cajun&#8221; due to his excitable nature and thick Louisiana accent, explained that Democrats had done men a disservice by adopting buzzwords and phrases like &#8220;the future is female&#8221; or &#8220;the woman is never wrong.&#8221;
&#8220;Men are like, ‘S***, do I count?'&#8221; Carville continued. &#8220;&#8216;What about my life? I mean, we’re only 48% of the voting population.'&#8221;

And then, ‘If you have sex, you must wear a condom.’ We just never communicated with them.&#8221;
Carville concluded by saying that at the end of the day, the party would have to meet men where they were instead of constantly subjecting them to lectures.
&#8220;I understand we’ve had tectonic societal shifts, demographic shifts in this country, but there are no television shows about these people anymore. They’ve been erased from the culture,&#8221; he said of men in general. &#8220;We’ve just erased them. &#8216;You don’t exist. No one sees you. No one cares about you. You’ve had it made all your life.&#8217; And a lot of these people say, ‘I got it made? What are you talking about?’ And we just lecture people too much.

&#8220;What the f*** did the Democrats have to do with what happened at Columbia, by the way?&#8221; Carville asked, making no mention of the fact that multiple elected Democrats had defended the antisemitic protests — that ultimately spread across many American college campuses — from the very beginning. &#8220;They have some students at Columbia that f***ing, you know, generally made an ass of themselves.&#8221;
He pivoted back to the wealthy Jewish donors then, saying, &#8220;&#8216;Well, I can&#8217;t do that, but I can be for a party that everybody endorses the alternative for Deutschland&#8217; — read: the modern incarnation of national socialism, if you will. And I just find these kind of people — literally, my instinct is, they tell me that, look me right in the eye, and I — &#8216;No, you just want your f***ing tax cut.&#8221;

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville ripped into newly-elected Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg, referring to the younger activist as a &#8220;contemptible little twerp&#8221; and even advising the DNC to sue him.
Carville, who made an appearance on NewsNation on Wednesday, told anchor Chris Cuomo that his particular complaint was Hogg&#8217;s recent announcement regarding plans to direct millions of dollars toward primaries against incumbent Democrats.
Hogg, who also serves as president of an organization called Leaders We Deserve, said that the group planned to funnel some $20 million into challenging incumbent Democrats — and Carville took issue with Hogg for what he said looked as though he was putting more effort into attacking his own party than helping expand it into a broader coalition.

&#8220;Let me make a point about Bernie and AOC. Bernie’s run for president twice. He’s lost twice. AOC and her kind, and this guy, David Hogg, they want to run against other Democrats. They don’t run against Republicans,&#8221; Carville added. &#8220;When you beat a Republican, come back and see me, and I will be impressed!&#8221;

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville invoked the Nazis and suggested that anyone who &#8220;collaborated&#8221; with President Donald Trump might eventually suffer the same fate as those who&#8217;d cooperated with brutal German dictator Adolf Hitler.
Carville made the comments on his Politicon podcast, where he referred to major corporations and law firms that were aiding the Trump administration as &#8220;traitors&#8221; and suggested they&#8217;d be ripe for &#8220;retribution&#8221; if the people were so inclined.

&#8220;Do you know what&#8217;s going to happen? Do you know how this ends?&#8221; Carville asked. &#8220;Do you know what the country is going to feel toward collaborators with this regime?&#8221;
&#8220;After Paris was liberated, they didn&#8217;t take very kindly to the collaborators,&#8221; Carville continued, referencing the way the French had treated those they deemed to be Nazi collaborators after Paris was liberated in 1944. &#8220;No &#8230; it was not a very pretty sight in the streets of Paris.&#8221;
Carville went on to claim that he wasn&#8217;t suggesting people take matters into their own hands, but simply laying out what could happen if they did so: &#8220;I&#8217;m not saying that these people should be placed in pajamas and have their head shaved, marched down Pennsylvania Avenue and spit on. I&#8217;m not saying that, but I&#8217;m saying that that did happen. And I&#8217;m saying that these people betrayed the French nation in the same way that I think that these law firms and these giant corporate conglomerates are betraying the United States. What their comeuppance is, I can only guess.&#8221;
He then tried to rein himself back in, noting that much of what the French had done to collaborators would be illegal in the United States and warning listeners against those actions.
&#8220;Spitting on somebody is an assault. I don&#8217;t recommend doing that. I guess involuntarily shaving somebody&#8217;s head is another assault and that&#8217;s illegal. Don&#8217;t — don&#8217;t do that,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But these people are a disgrace to the law firms they represent, to the companies that they that they represent and are supposed to be in their self-interest. And they’re a disgrace to the United States.&#8221;
&#8220;I think I’m going to start here as we go forward and give you a little bit of time, but we should have a collaborators hall of fame. There’s some people that just stick out as, in my view, particularly treasonous,&#8221; Carville said, later in the podcast. &#8220;Maybe we’ll have a system where we can, you know, vote people in &#8230; We’ll be accepting nominations.&#8221;

Democrat strategist James Carville told young Democrats to get over themselves in response to a leftist contestant on a reality TV show who broke things off with her partner because he was not progressive enough for her.
Carville responded to a scene from Netflix&#8217;s reality dating show &#8220;Love is Blind&#8221; where contestant Sara Carton broke off her relationship with Ben Mezzenga because of his politics.
“I remember I asked him about Black Lives Matter,” Carton said. “And I’m no expert. But when I asked him about it, he’s like, ‘I guess I never really thought too much about it.’ That affected me!”
Carville responded in an interview with Fox News: &#8220;Get over your preening and your moral superiority.&#8221;
&#8220;And the more pragmatic in how you approach life, you&#8217;ll end up being a lot happier, and you&#8217;ll actually win an election,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And therefore, you can actually do things, and you could do some of the things that you want, because if you lose, it doesn&#8217;t do any good. It&#8217;s about nothing. That&#8217;s what I would tell them.&#8221;

Carville cracked some light humor while talking about his experiences dating.
&#8220;In my case, I wasn&#8217;t good-looking enough. I had to broaden the base, okay,&#8221; Carville chuckled. &#8220;I just couldn&#8217;t concentrate on Democratic women. I mean, I needed love.

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville predicted on Monday that billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk  — because of the work he is doing with the blessing of President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration — would drive more Democrat voters to the polls than even former President Barack Obama did.
Carville joined NewsNation host Chris Cuomo to discuss his recent prediction about the Trump administration — made during an interview with Mediaite founder Dan Abrams —  namely, that it was on the brink of collapse and things would begin to fall apart in the next four to six weeks.

Carville began with the economy, arguing that persistent inflation and the coming budget fight would sour voters on Trump.
&#8220;Literally every Western democracy government has failed because of inflation. So I place a lot of stock on that. The trend is going the wrong way. But the real thing here, Chris, is the calendar,&#8221; Carville said. &#8220;And what I’m asking Democrats to do is remember, I think it was Harold Macmillan, might have been Harold Wilson said, ‘Events, my dear boy, events.’ So they have to produce a budget by March the 14th. They have to go through reconciliation. They can’t not do it. They have to extend the debt limit.&#8221;
&#8220;Let the ball come to you. Then throw it. The ball is coming to us,&#8221; Carville continued. &#8220;And the other thing I place a lot of stock in are these organic town halls. These are not being organized by Democratic interest groups. These are not being organized by the DNC. These are just people coming up and saying, we don’t like this at all. And you’re seeing it and as you point out, very smartly in Georgia and Wisconsin and Oregon, I saw something even in Idaho, you know, when you start to lose Idaho, you got some problems.&#8221;
Carville then turned to address Musk — and the efforts being made by the Department Of Government Efficiency project — and said that people angry about what Musk and DOGE were doing would come out in force at the next election.
&#8220;So I think we just have to play possum for a little while. Just let them keep coming. And Musk will turn out, if they keep him, he will be the greatest generator — let me say this very specifically — the greatest generator of Democratic turnout ever, more than Barack Obama. Musk will turn out more Democrats than Obama,&#8221; Carville predicted.

Nature is healing. 
Nowhere is it more healing than right now at MSNBC. 
Joy Reid is apparently losing her show at MSNBC and leaving the network completely.
But MSNBC insists they are going to continue with their leftist views. They are not going to move toward the center. Genius-level ideas from the leadership over at MSNBC.
They are reportedly going to move Jen Psaki, former White House press secretary to Joe Biden, to anchor one of the primetime hours during the week. She could be named anchor of MSNBC&#8217;s 9 p.m. hour, where Rachel Maddow is currently holding court. Joy Reid is apparently going to be replaced by Symone Sanders-Townsend, who was a press secretary for Bernie Sanders before being a press secretary for Kamala Harris; Michael Steele, the former RNC chairman who has moved far to the Left; and Alicia Menendez. The leadership over at MSNBC suggests they are going to add Politico&#8217;s Eugene Daniels and NYU law professor Melissa Murray to the network&#8217;s lineup as well.
So they are continuing to move over to the Left. This reflects a serious problem in the Democratic Party: They do not know which way to move. They are stuck because of identity politics and, largely, because of immigration. They are now stuck in a rut of their own making, and it is very difficult to break out of that rut.
As a result, Democrats are thrashing against the box of reality. Former Bill Clinton pollster Mark Penn points out the Democratic Party is more unpopular than they&#8217;ve been any time in his lifetime, <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/former-clinton-pollster-tells-fox-news-democratic-party-support-is-at-record-low-and-falling-off-a-cliff/">saying</a>, “I have never seen anything like this. This is a record low for the Democratic Party in terms of favorability.”
Democrats are trying to figure out exactly to whom they should turn in the wake of Donald Trump&#8217;s victory and the fact that he&#8217;s now steamrolling through his agenda. Do they turn back to the supposedly moderate types, the Joe Biden types? Or should they double down on Kamala Harris, who is still wandering the landscape.
Democrats themselves are torn as to how to approach the Trump administration. On the one hand, they want to go back to resistance-style anger. They want to just scream at the wind — a lot. The problem for them is that they can&#8217;t find a point of consolidation because much of what Trump is doing right now is quite popular.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2144-more-trump-wins-joy-reid-gone-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
So, they&#8217;re stuck in a weird in-between. On the one hand, they want to preach that Trump is non-empathetic and more empathy is needed.
But people don&#8217;t see the Democrats as empathetic.
At a town hall event in Roswell, Georgia, a Democrat woman went on a rant over the weekend that got a lot of attention from the Left. She <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/news/town-hall-erupts-at-blistering-anti-trump-rant-torching-tyranny-gets-standing-ovation-in-trump-district/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blustered</a>:
<blockquote>It&#8217;s clear from all the writings of our founding fathers that our great republic was never meant to be ruled by a dictator nor a king. It’s clear from all the writings of our Founding Fathers that our great Republic was never meant to be ruled by a dictator, nor a king. … So you can imagine my shock and pure horror when I woke up to find that our president had given himself unprecedented executive powers, and then, within a few days, named himself King to his followers. … Tyranny is rising in the white House, and a man has declared himself our king. So I would like to know. Rather the people would like to know what you, congressman, and your fellow congressman are going to do to rein in the megalomaniac in the White House.</blockquote>
All of this rings hollow. It is sound and fury signifying almost nothing at this point because the Democratic Party does not know what it stands for. On the one hand, they want to say they are for everyone. On the other hand, they want to push identity politics. On the one hand, they want to talk about no dictatorship. On the other hand, they want government to control every part of Americans’ lives. On the one hand, they want to rave that Trump is breaking down foreign policy. On the other hand, they want to surrender almost everywhere.
So which is it?
In the end, the answer is that, for Democrats, their future hinges on one thing: Trump&#8217;s failure. If Trump fails, they win.
It&#8217;s that simple. They don&#8217;t have anything else. Their only point of consolidation is if Trump and his administration fail at making America succeed. That is the only way that they have a pathway back to power.
Democrats are betting that it&#8217;s all going to fall apart for President Trump. And massive collapse doesn&#8217;t appear to be on the horizon — unless there is some sort of serious economic problem. And that is why the central focus of the Trump administration right now must be on bringing down inflation; it must be on economic growth. That&#8217;s what the central focus has to be.
Yes, we want to see President Trump keep all of his promises — and he will with regard to immigration. Sure, we would like to see President Trump bring an end to the war in Ukraine in a reasonable fashion.
But the thing that Americans care most about — and this is always true — is their economic well-being. We have a real estate bubble because fewer people are selling their homes and demand has remained. We have a stock market bubble which is likely to break at some point. These are the worries the Trump administration has to deal with.
Inflation is driving both of those things because the currency was wildly inflated over the course of Biden&#8217;s tenure. Inflation remains at 3% right now, which is 50% higher than the Federal Reserve generally prefers. That means interest rates are unlikely to come down, which means it will be tough to get a loan. At the same time, someone who has a loan will not want to spend their money on inflated assets.
This is a bit of a sticky patch for the American economy. Productivity gains will help; more competition, less regulation, more investment in newer things will help.
But DOGE alone is not going to solve these fiscal problems.
It&#8217;s very good to talk about waste, fraud, and abuse, but those three elements amount to a negligible percentage of actual federal spending.
To unshackle the economy and see productivity gains, business growth, and an economic boom, the kinds of programs that no one is politically willing to target must be targeted.
The single most important op-ed of the last five years was <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/welfare-is-whats-eating-the-budget-10c9d093?mod=e2two" target="_blank" rel="noopener">penned</a> by House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington and former U.S. Senator Phil Gramm in September of last year. In it, they discussed what is actually driving America&#8217;s systemic national debt. The actual systemic drivers of the debt, as Arrington and Phil Gramm pointed out, are in the means-tested social welfare spending programs — precisely the things that neither party actually wants to touch, such as Medicaid, food stamps, refundable tax credits, Supplemental Security Income, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, federal housing subsidies, and almost 100 other programs.
What&#8217;s actually to bring long-lasting success is not going to be cutting around the edges. It&#8217;s not going to be posturing. What&#8217;s actually to bring long-lasting success is what is most politically difficult.
But if nobody&#8217;s willing to do it, then basically we&#8217;re just going to end up in a leftist populist horseshoe where, despite all the talk about innovation, government just continues to grow and gobble up an increasing portion of Americans’ earnings and savings where a smaller and smaller percentage of the population is actually working while the government continues to spiral out of control in terms of growth. And productivity does not actually outpace all of the spending of government and the taxation of government.
That is the problem President Trump is facing.
The easy route for Democrats to take when things fall down because of all these giant programs that they themselves have enshrined is just to claim that capitalism failed.
At some point, Congress, particularly, is going to have to stand up and President Trump is going to have to start pushing for some real systemic change on the regulatory side.
He&#8217;s going to have to push for some real systemic change when it comes to these means-tested welfare programs.
If the premise of the current American political moment is that we are in a moment of scarcity with scarce resources, that we are in danger of being out-produced by countries like China, that the American budget is too large, that our tax burden is too high, and that we&#8217;re spending too much money, then we have to look at the right places. Looking at the wrong places does not lead to solving the problem, and then things will go from bad to worse.
And that’s the only hope Democrats have.
