That’s Selena Zito’s take, and I fully agree with her.
There is an old wisdom in political science that real presidential power, whether domestic or international, is the power of persuasion. In less than two weeks, Trump has shown that his impact on American history has centered on his persuasive powers and using them to execute leadership.
While elites struggle to understand the appeal of Trump and conservative populism, what they miss, what they have always missed, is the nuance of what “Make America Great Again” meant to voters. The media saw it as a vulgar attempt at nationalism, often brazenly calling it so. But it never was. For most Trump supporters, it meant the connective tissue not with him, but with each other, that they were all part of something bigger than self.
To date, President Franklin Roosevelt has had the longest impact on American politics in our short history. Trump will exceed that, especially if he continues to have two-week stretches such as these.
So much has happened in the past two weeks to confirm her view that I cannot cover all of it -- especially all the successes in the economy, tariff negotiations, peace deals around the world, lowering the rate of inflation, closing the border and deporting illegals, included. All of these are greatly consequential but this week I concentrate on the amazing successes in Iran and the Supreme Court. I picked these to clarify what the legacy media distorts.
Bombing Iran’s Nuclear Facilities
Despite CNN and much of the legacy media misusing a leaked preliminary assessment (of “low confidence”) the bombing was of great value to both Israel and the United States.
Israel’s use of the F-35 was an absolute success for the U.S. for the following reasons:
1. Combat-Proven Validation -- Israeli F-35s successfully struck

Watching the MSM try to spin everything as a negative event has been amusing. Though the mental gymnastics are amazing.
Since early in Trump’s term I’ve been referring to him as one of the most consequential Presidents in history.
-——Despite CNN and much of the legacy media misusing a leaked preliminary assessment——
In hindsight, one can wonder if the “preliminary” assessment was meant to be leaked
I will not ever be interested in supporting a theory that does not promote the best interests of the American people first. After all, we even have 50 test tubes called states that can run any and all kinds of “theories” as long as they are within the limits of the US Constitution. What a “lab” to learn from, don’t ya think?
Only when the US is in great shape militarily, financially, and technologically should it be able to offer help. When it does, it must come at a price.
Those who prepared it and who leaked it were deep state. They should be found and charged.
They still are stuck on stupid in several capacities. I heard a rant about our VSG, president Trump the other, and they could not get over just how genuinely stupid he is in their opinion. That and all the people who voted for him are evil. I was kinda surprised at the lack of any evolution in to their thought process after repeatedly getting their ass handed to them in all manners possible. TDS is a real thing. Hate has blinded them. Thinking your adversary is stupid all the time is ... stupid
You forgot to add that the US MUST be GREAT shape RELIGIOUSLY.....otherwise it’s all for naught.
That is TOTAL PROJECTION!!! They are PURE EVIL AND THEIR LEADERS ARE STUPID!
It’s not a coincidence that the country involved is behind AIPAC, Epstein, etc.
We need to restore our democratic republic.
You are exactly right. Our moral compass must be in best working order.
“I will not ever be interested in supporting a theory that does not promote the best interests of the American people first. ”
I’d call destroying the nuclear weapons program of a regime that’s been screaming “death to America” for over 40 years in the best interests of the American people.
Do you not agree?
L
Leaked? Or made up by the papers writers? The whole Russia thing was made up, nothing leaked. Half the stuff they print can’t be traced. I believe it’s just made up.
Of course I agree with what was done to Iran recently. I happen to feel if a country or terrorists from a country strike America, the American response must be overwhelming harsh each and every time.
I do not stick my fingers in a red wasp nest. Do you want to know why?
VSG?
“You forgot to add that the US MUST be GREAT shape RELIGIOUSLY.....otherwise it’s all for naught.”
Disagree.
It’s not religiosity that matters.
To note the Hospitaller; “Holiness is in right action and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves,”
Religious Summer Camp leaders molesting kids isn’t good.
Marrying 8 yr olds girls isn’t good.
Female Genital Mutilation isn’t good.
A man who skips mass to cook a week of meals for his disabled neighbor is a better model to follow.
Very Stupid Governor?
Certainly applies to the current Commierado governor and his lackeys.
Very stable genius.

The media knows, they just want to kill his agenda a to z.
