A Recap of President Trump’s Night of Triumph (and Takedowns)

Now that the dust has somewhat settled following President Trump’s command performance before the Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday night, here are a few takeaways, starting with the Democrats…

1. Whoever thought it was a good idea for the Democrats to hold up those childish popsicle sticks with the equally childish comments every time President Trump scored a political point should be drawn and quartered, tarred and feathered, and forever banished from the Democrat caucus. The same goes for the person who suggested that the ladies should all wear pink the day after every Democrat senator voted to allow biological men to keep beating up on biological women while sharing their locker rooms, shattering their records, and stealing their scholarships.

2. Rep. Al Green of Texas is a disgrace.

3. Watching Nancy Pelosi stew in her juices as she sat next to an equally past-his-expiration-date Steny Hoyer was priceless.

4. I lost count of how many times the camera showed Democrat senators and representatives scrolling on their phones, texting, or taking potty breaks… none of which made for good optics.

5. How hate-filled and heartless do you have to be to sit on your hands while the wife of a police office killed in the line of duty is introduced… or Laken Riley’s mother and sister are publicly recognized… or Jocelyn Nungaray’s mom is told that a wildlife refuge is being renamed in her slain daughter’s honor? And how can you possibly remain seated and silent when a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor who dreams of becoming a police officer is made an honorary member of the Secret Service? Are you really that cold and callous?

I could go on and on about how angry and out-of-touch the Democrats revealed themselves to be for all the world to see. I just hope that enough people were watching because, if they were, it will be decades before the once proud party of Harry Truman regains its footing let alone a majority in either house of Congress.

As for President Trump, he reminded me of Eugene Ormandy conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra or Arthur Fiedler leading the Boston Pops. He was part President and part Maestro-in-Chief, masterfully presiding over the chamber as he alternated between preaching to his rabid choir of loyalists and publicly scolding his once powerful but now defanged enemies. It made for great political theater, and it was apparent to everyone that not only was President Trump basking in the spotlight, but he was also relishing the opportunity to say, “I told you so”. And because he was having such a grand old time, we – the viewing audience and the American people – were having a great time too.

Rarely, if ever, has an incoming president been able to recite a laundry list of major accomplishments just six weeks into his term of office. But Trump 2.0 is not a presidential rookie like he was in 2017. This time, he knows his way around Washington and the world… and it shows.

That, more than anything, is what irked the Democrat minority (I love linking those two words). In their heart-of-hearts – providing they actually have one – they have to know that this guy is head and shoulders more effective than Geritol Joe or Cacking Kamala. They don’t have to like it, but they have to admit it… hence the sour looks on their faces throughout the night.

Score one for the Big Guy for solving the border crisis in less time than it took Joe Biden to walk across the White House lawn, negotiating the release of multiple American hostages, and putting an end to government wokeness by declaring that Uncle Sam only recognizes two genders. DEI and CRT are dead, meritocracy is back, and English is finally and forever our official national language.

International corporations are relocating their headquarters to America and/or investing heavily in the U.S. and waste, fraud, and reckless spending are about to go the way of the dodo bird and the passenger pigeon. Energy independence followed by energy dominance is on the horizon and a renewed sense of morale has permeated our armed forces, resulting in record levels of new recruits.

Oh, and for good measure, we just caught the man responsible for the Abbey Gate bombings and both Tren de Aragua and the Mexican cartels are now listed as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs). Better get your affairs in order gentlemen, because you are about to meet your Maker.

Let me close with the words that President Trump started with… “America is back!”
