While progressives scream louder and louder into the void, millions of ordinary Americans are sticking with President Donald Trump and his agenda of rapid and dramatic change. I’m one of them.<\/p>\n

Trump signs order to combat ‘woke’ university accreditation process<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump directed the Justice and Education Depts. to investigate universities for \u201cunlawful discrimination\u201d and \u201cideological overreach.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump<\/a> has done more good for the United States in his first 100 days in the White House than Joe Biden<\/a> did in four years.<\/p>\n

Yet, much of the mainstream news media, chock full of journalists with a leftist bias, portrays the Trump presidency as a chaotic disaster<\/a>. Trump has been smeared<\/a>, scorned and labeled an authoritarian<\/a>. If the news is any indication, America is already in steep decline because of Trump’s first 100 days.<\/p>\n

But I want to show a different side of what we’ve seen unfold since Jan. 20 as Trump moves at an extraordinary pace to implement policies that 77.3 million Americans voted for<\/a> in November. Those measures will in time improve our lives and strengthen our nation.<\/p>\n

DOGE’s mission to instill fiscal responsibility is vital<\/p>\n

If I had to describe Trump’s first 100 days in just four letters, it would be DOGE. The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk<\/a>, has undertaken the Herculean task of trying to bring fiscal responsibility to a federal government that doesn’t blink at trillion dollar deficits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DOGE’s critics snipe at every cut to the bloated bureaucracy, but none has offered a credible alternative.<\/p>\n

Democrats have become the party of the status quo, and the status quo has respected financial experts forecasting economic disaster<\/a> for the United States if we don’t cut the deficit and slow the growth of the national debt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Opinion: <\/strong>Musk’s radical approach may reduce US debt. He’s not the problem \u2013 we are.<\/a><\/p>\n

As the CATO Institute has noted<\/a>, Musk overpromised with his goal to slash federal spending by $2 trillion. But don’t miss something remarkable that Musk and Trump have done in only three months: The mindset in Washington for years has been that deficits and the debt don’t really matter, that the bureaucracy will grow without fail, that taxpayers just need to suck it up and pay more to keep the federal spending machine chugging along.<\/p>\n

That mindset has now been shocked back to reality. Federal workers and entire bureaucracies have to justify their work \u2212 just like most ordinary American workers. And the expectation of endless government growth is gone.<\/p>\n

Trump’s tariffs show signs that they’re working<\/p>\n

Trump’s tariffs have ignited a firestorm of criticism and sparked predictions of a recession. But there have been indications that the tariffs are bringing jobs back to America. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n
