The left wing and media rage hysterically from one Trump psychodrama to the next, while President Donald Trump trolls both on social media.
But all that is verbiage. What matters is the data and facts of Trump's first nine months since January 20, 2025, in comparison to either former President Joe Biden's prior year or the averages of his four years in office.
Take the border. No one knows how many illegal aliens entered -- or stayed in -- the U.S. during Biden's four years of open borders. What is clear is that he set a presidential record of well over seven million illegal entrants.

The reserve has already inched upward under Trump's initial months to 406 million barrels. Releases have been canceled. Purchases of replacement oil have been scheduled.

Trump's GDP rose 3.8% in the second quarter, with final estimates for 2025 ranging around 3%.
Inflation under Trump so far averages about 3%. Under Biden's tenure, inflation increased by 21.4% over...

But no. We still get the usual suspects.
