Trump’s momentum is fading, and there’s still work ahead to get America back to a constitutional path. Congress isn’t helping, but neither is his team.
As the West was seemingly spinning off its axis of common sense, it was the relief of a lifetime when Donald Trump prevailed in 2024. Suddenly, the world that had been turned on its head was going to be set right again. We were going to have an actual border again. Men weren’t going to be allowed to play in women’s sports. Freedom of speech was going to be a thing again. DEI was going to be fading in the rear-view mirror rather than a roadblock to merit and success.
On most things, the President has been rock solid. But, sadly, there are troubling circumstances nonetheless.
One is highlighted by Democrat Jamie Raskin’s warning to countries that work with the Trump administration:
If and when we come back to power, and we will, we are not going to look kindly upon people who facilitated, to use the word of the day, who facilitated authoritarianism in our country. That’s an assault on our Constitution and our people.
Raskin is explicitly threatening consequences for those countries that work with the Trump administration when Democrats return to power.
That promise showcases one of the fundamental problems with the Trump 47 administration: Executive Orders. The problem with EOs is that they are not laws and, therefore, are susceptible to reversal by the next guy who sits in the Oval Office. (One that should have been but never was reversed is JFK’s Executive Order 10988, which allowed federal employees to unionize.)
Trump has issued Executive Orders addressing issues from immigration to energy to education to keeping men out of women’s sports and more. They’re great, but unfortunately, Congress

The last line of your comment is what I am not totally sure about. No matter how you slice this DC crap sandwich it will all come down to keeping the HOR. All of the PDJT wins get thrown into neutral or even reverse if the Donks prevail in NOV26. Trump knows this.
The 2026 elections need to be nationalized and PDJT needs to show John Q Public how he has won for them. He needs to pound the 80/20 issues mercilessly. DOGE swamp corruption needs to be made easy to digest for the average person and how it is affecting their bottom line. The cost/waste/corruption of the donkeys and DC swamp needs 1000W Halogen lights burning non-stop on these crooks. Social Security should be an easy one. Everyone craps their drawers talking about SS. PDJT needs to make this issue his. Show how the SS system is getting gutted by illegals. Show how bad it really is and show how you are going to fix it. Make it into a simple to understand bumper sticker slogan:
They tell us SS is dying. Remember that the average American pays X dollars per paycheck for free SS for illegals.
Same thing with voter ID as it is also 80/20.
I "assumed" no such thing.
I asked a question.....Are they actively trying to get votes to pass the bills or are they dragging their feet?
That's not going one way or the other.
I wonder if you read the article. It is pro-Trump and against Republicans who should be supporting Trump, but are not.
@RepThomasMassie 🚨This wasn’t widely covered in the news, so I will tell you: Congress was scheduled to vote on rescissions THIS WEEK to cut the waste that DOGE found, but the votes were quietly canceled. USAID and other programs like PBS and NPR were to be targeted.
