The first hundred days of the Democrats’ resistance to Trump 47

It will only get worse.

I am already sated with assessments of President Trump’s First Hundred Days. He’s done more than any president ever, with the possible exception of FDR, though that is arguable. But for most of his numerous initiatives, the ending of the the script has yet to be written (with many co-authors like China).

The one thing I do know is that Trump’s energy level is phenomenal.

But it is already clear that the Democrats have seriously bungled their response to him. In the face of a clear rejection by voters, they have chosen total resistance, punctuated by pathetic stunts.

If any Democrat has urged the party to find common ground and work with Trump o at least an issue or two to benefit the American people, it has escaped my notice. The notion of an initial honeymoon for a new president – something every other president of my lifetime has been granted – doesn’t seem to have occurred to anyone among the Democrats or media.

I actually felt a little sorry for Chuck Shumer a couple of months ago during a rally at the Treasury where he led chants of “We will win!” after promising to prevent Russell Vought’s confirmation (Shumer lost) and blocking Elon Musk’s DOGE team from access to data (another loss).

See for yourself (It’s barely over a minute):

This week saw Hakeem Jeffries and Cory Booker held a “sit-in” in front of the Capitol, debasing a tactic used to protest segregation, chilling their derrieres on the marble steps and lamely attempting to fill 12 hours; it was if anything even sadder.

They’ve re-played the Nazi slur from Trump’s first term, heedless of both Godwin’s Law and the law of diminishing returns. Even worse, they are implicitly inviting deranged fanatics to once again attempt an assassination of President Trump.

The radical wing of the party, meanwhile, is seizing the initiative with the Sanders/Ocasio-Cortez “Fight Oligarchy” private jet tour fulminating against billionaires and eliding the role of billionaires Soros, Hoffman, Pritzker in their own party. The party elders who twice deep-sixed Bernie’s presidential campaign have kept their misgivings to themselves about the possibility of the former bartender (now re-branding her first career as “waitress”) seizing the nomination in 2028.

Democrats are desperate now. DOGE has cut their pipeline to government funding for their political organizations disguised as NGOs. Their troops are seeing their livelihoods disappear, and demand that their leadership DO SOMETHING!, but their stunts just look lame to most people. Their media claque is losing its audience and credibility.

I expect more violence.
