Consider some of what Trump has already accomplished. He has made real cuts to the federal bureaucracy, something that seemed impossible before 2025. He’s secured the border, defended women, removed murderers and rapists from the country, attacked the corrosive merit-destroying horror of dei, restored justice to political victims targeted by the previous administration, pushed for improving educational quality, unleashed the economic power of energy, and protected American industries, among many first-month highlights. He is standing for liberty, justice, and Americans with every action. That’s shock and awe. This administration was ready to go on day 1, and moved out at a furious pace never seen before. This was necessary. It was the only way they had any chance of advancing American interests without opposition bringing them to a screeching halt. It gets harder from here. The administration’s opponents are adapting, so it is critical to both identify and attack their resistance centers of gravity nonstop. Those centers of gravity are the federal bureaucracy, the judiciary, the media, academia, and popular culture.
The federal bureaucracy is almost universally left-wing/democrat. The behemoth believes it exists to loyally support any left-wing/democrat directive while resisting Republicans. America has no choice but to cut an entity many times larger than we can afford, even apart from ideological considerations, but cutting the government has the added benefit of sending a strong signal that subversion and resistance to the will of the public won’t be tolerated. Agencies that exist for no other purpose than to throttle freedom and advance leftist causes should be shuttered. Targeting USAID was a great start, and the Dept of Education needs to go. We have over 2000 agencies, which sounds like about 1800 too many. You can’t have a truly free society when the bureaucratic state has so many tentacles that you can’t even find them all.
The administration will be forced to battle judges nonstop. There have already been hundreds of lawsuits against the administration. That number will grow into the thousands, since lawfare is the Left’s primary strategy when their positions are so wildly unpopular. The courts are loaded with sympathetic judges, and the rodents of the left will scuttle to them. The good news is that the government has a big advantage here. The government can use these court battles to draw money and focus from their opponents. The government has whatever resources it needs to fight legal challenges. Their opponents do not. neo-liberals/democrats use that as a force of evil. The administration should and likely will appeal every one of these politicized decisions and use the process to punish and drain their foes. The Republican Congress needs to pitch in and impeach some of the most obviously leftist judges who are not following the law. If nothing else, it will expose the efforts of these judges to the broader public.
As far as the left-wing media goes, the administration is making all the right moves by elevating new voices and marginalizing discredited outlets. They are attacking the left media’s sense of prestige and entitlement. The president picked plenty of people who are uniquely talented at fighting in this arena. They need to continue to ensure the left-wing media understands there are consequences for lies and bad behavior, such as costly lawsuits or being removed from coveted press pools. The fact that some of the savvier media owners are reorienting their outlets shows a recognition that the playing field has changed.
There is plenty that the administration can and will do to keep freedom-hating universities on the defensive, such as taxing their endowments, suing to defend students, and offering alternatives to wise Americans that don’t include going into massive debt for useless degrees.
No Republican president has understood Andrew Breitbart’s observation that politics is downstream of culture more than Trump. He connects with young people and has leveraged cultural forces like Musk and Joe Rogan. The progress in this battle has infuriated the left-wing/democrats the most, since they view culture as their birthright.
Even as opposition hardens, the administration will continue its campaign to shock, rattle, and awe with missiles aimed right at the left’s resistance centers of gravity. What makes that so glorious is that the focus is on advancing three core principles we haven’t seen in a long time; freedom, our national interests, and a healthy dose of hope.

My comment on this;
There is only one Trump. After this administration is over we don't have a dynamic replacement for him. We must all work together to see to it that everything he does over the 4 years will either remain or be extremely hard to remove like Biden did after his first term. I also believe that Trump was sent by God as our last chance to defeat the evil which has infiltrated our government. I also, believe we will fail if we as a nation does not return to God, and keep his Commandments in our private lives. And also keep the moral implications they express, in our laws and society standards. That means turning away from the perverse agendas issued in by the Democrats in their attempt to destroy our Morals, our Integrity, our Self Discipline, and all of our other higher values.
There are two ways we need to do to accomplish this;
1. Demand our State Legislatures petition Congress for an Article-V, Amendment Proposal Convention. Using that convention to lock in things the Congress would never do on their own. Things like Term Limits, American Citizenship and picture ID to vote, Mandatory Balanced Budget with severe penalties like loss of right to run in any government position again. Forbidding Government from creating or enforcing firearm laws rules or regulations without a 3/4 approval by vote to allow them, End the Federal Reserve and income taxes. Go back on the Gold and Silver Standard. Outlaw birthright citizenship to anchor babies. Outlaw automatic funding and make Congress vote on every dollar spent. etc.
2. As I said before, We as a Nation must return to honoring God and asking him to help us persevere in our quest to restore America. If he's not on our side, actively helping us, we won't have a chance to win.
