We’re starting today with a history lesson—a walk down memory lane where the receipts are still intact. Proof that President Trump is not the radical extremist Democrats pretend he is, but rather a man fighting for the very same common-sense policies they once applauded, defended, and campaigned on—the same policies he is taking action on today.
Take their latest display of performative outrage over President Trump’s removal of Venezuelan narco-dictator Nicolas Maduro from power.
Democrats are out chanting for the United States to free this homicidal maniac. Democrat politicians are blasting Trump as “reckless,” branding him a “kidnapper,” and tossing around every insult they can think of.

But let’s rewind for a moment and remember what their criticism used to sound like.
Here’s a tweet from Joe Biden during Trump’s first term. He wrote: “Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro. As president, I will stand with the Venezuelan people and for democracy.”
Of course, Biden did absolutely nothing except pretend to be tough. Here’s his press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, announcing a series of slaps on the wrist after Nicolas Maduro stole yet another election.
So the Biden administration labeled Maduro illegitimate, said the will of the Venezuelan people needed to be honored, and even placed a bounty on Maduro’s head—but now they’re furious that Trump actually did something about it?
When I saw the photos of Maduro handcuffed and blindfolded aboard the USS Iwo Jima, it didn’t exactly look like Trump “admired” him, as Biden claimed.
Democrats can’t pick a talking point and stick to it—unless that talking point is “orange man bad.”
Before Trump Derangement Syndrome became a full-blown condition, it was pretty commonplace to acknowledge that illegal immigration was not a good thing.
Let’s go back 30 years. This was President Bill Clinton’s State of the Union address—one that earned a standing ovation. Watch closely.
Now wait just a second—isn’t that the kind of thing we’re told only a fascist would say? That’s what I’ve been hearing for the last 12 years.
But even 20 years ago, Democrats still had a firm grip on reality when it came to illegal immigration.
Here’s the Democrat savior and golden child Barack Obama in 2007.
Keep in mind, this was during his presidential campaign. This was considered a winning talking point. His opponent—and fellow Democrat—Hillary Clinton was pushing the exact same arguments to thunderous applause. Listen.
Every one of those statements would be labeled racist today—by the very people who once supported them.
Trump isn’t the radical. Democrats are the ones who have been radicalized, swinging so far left that they can’t even repeat the things they were saying less than two decades ago.
In 2006, Senate Democrats including Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden voted for the Secure Fence Act, authorizing hundreds of miles of border fencing.
During his presidency, Obama deported more people than any president before him and backed strict enforcement paired with reform.
Yet now we’re supposed to believe these same people when they insist Trump is a threat to democracy—for actually following through on the promises they made to the American people.
Consider China. Democrats have long criticized China for currency manipulation, intellectual property theft, and unfair trade practices.

In the early 2000s, Chuck Schumer repeatedly called for tariffs on China. Barack Obama imposed targeted tariffs on Chinese goods.
But when Trump acted on those same concerns during his first term, Democrats called him reckless. Here’s the real kicker: when Biden took office in 2021, he quietly kept most of Trump’s tariffs in place.
China bulldozed right over Biden anyway, knowing they were dealing with a patsy. So Trump has once again been forced to take action—and once again Democrats are raking him over the coals for it. Even though this is exactly what they used to sound like on China.
Funny how she’s conveniently forgotten those reasons.
That’s Democrats in a nutshell—all bark, no bite. Endless moral grandstanding with zero intention of following through.
They’ll criticize Trump no matter what direction he goes. Just look at Chuck Schumer in 2017.
Spare me the outrage. In 2017, Schumer was so bold as to “send a letter.” How terrifying. Now that Trump has actually cracked down on China’s predatory trade practices, they’re outraged that he followed through.
It’s exhausting trying to keep up with these people.
They’re no different when it comes to cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. They want us to weep because funds were slashed from the money-laundering operation known as USAID, or because contracts unrelated to American prosperity were canceled. They’ve even gone so far as to call Trump a “murderer” for refusing to bankroll gender identity programs in Latin America.
Yet Democrats once proudly praised leaders like Clinton and Gore for promising the very same things.
The difference? They didn’t deliver. Trump did.
They sound just like him. The only thing that’s changed is that Trump actually got results.
And Democrats are furious about it—which is exactly why I can’t take them seriously anymore. And neither should you.
