Trump’s Agenda Versus His Opponents’
The president’s diehard opponents are throwing hissy fits and predicting “the end of democracy” because the current system is lucrative for them.
Opposition to President Donald Trump has become a mainstay of American daily life. If Trump advocates for something — anything — you can bet your life savings (if you still have any) that Democrats and Republicans in name only, or “RINOs” — as well as the national anti-Trump media machine — will come out against it.
Four-plus months into the Trump administration, it’s worth asking: What do Trump’s policy initiatives say about what he wants for America and the wider world? (You’ll notice that I have not written “Trump and the Republican Party” on the items below, because it remains unclear at this writing whether the GOP establishment will adopt Trump’s objectives — if not his manner — or merely stall while they effectively thwart him).
Trump wants peace and economic development. And he wants to achieve those ends through commerce, not warmongering, which enriches dictatorial autocrats, multinational military contractors, politicians who vote for foreign wars, diplomats who make careers out of rarely resolving them, and the multimillion-dollar nongovernmental organizations sent in to deal with the resulting humanitarian crises: destruction of infrastructure, injuries and death, poverty, starvation and mass migration.
His trade policies have drawn significant criticism, but the tariffs he’s imposed have brought in record revenues ($63 billion just in the first five months of 2025) and prompted dozens of beneficial trade deals with foreign nations.
Trump wants safe cities, and law enforcement that punishes criminals and protects innocent citizens.
Trump has promised a limited and well-supervised immigration system that deports criminal aliens and doesn’t reward those who enter the country illegally with benefits, congressional representation or the ability to vote in U.S. elections.
Americans need a K-12 education system that focuses on the important knowledge and skills children need to be successful in life — reading, mathematics, science — not left-wing political indoctrination and teaching sexual deviancy under the misappropriated term “inclusion.” As for America’s institutions of higher education, the Trump administration wants them to have admissions criteria that select the best and strongest candidates, and to be places of serious learning, not hotbeds of anti-American and antisemitic “protests” and violence, or training grounds for spies from hostile nations.
For Trump, national sovereignty is paramount and takes precedence over the will of unelected globalist bureaucrats like those in the United Nations, the European Union or the World Health Organization. (If protests in Ireland and recent elections in Poland, Italy, Germany and France are any indication, tens of millions of Europeans increasingly feel the same way.)
As evidenced by his selection of health activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be secretary of Health and Human Services, Trump wants a healthier America — including the removal of unnecessary and harmful additives from our food and drink, better testing of vaccines for children and adults, and adequate information about the safety and risks of inoculations and other pharmaceutical drugs.
Trump is pushing for lower taxes and more disposable income for Americans, especially low-wage workers and seniors. He has also been very vocal about strengthening and restoring our energy independence and manufacturing capability, to ensure quality, access and employment.
As a businessman, Trump understands what most politicians don’t: that excessive debt will destroy even the largest organization. Trump and Elon Musk have spearheaded the Department of Government Efficiency initiative to promote fiscal responsibility and reduce waste and fraud.
If these are Trump’s policy objectives, what do those who oppose his initiatives want?
Do they want endless war? Open borders, widespread crime, human trafficking and hundreds of thousands of deaths from fentanyl poisoning? A dumbed-down educational system that promotes depravity, penalizes achievement, rewards mediocrity and fails the children who need it most? Sexualized and sexually exploited children? An American public that is obese, suffering from illness in record numbers, and dependent upon rafts of prescription medications for the rest of their lives? The collapse of the entrepreneurial middle class and the greater U.S. economy? A country so weakened by deficit spending that it is easy prey for hostile nations with malevolent intent and financial leverage?
I don’t believe that American voters of any political persuasion want those things (which is a major reason for voter discontent with the current Democrat and Republican parties). And while there may be a handful of megalomaniacal nutcases tenting their fingers in gleeful anticipation of organized mayhem, most politicians aren’t sophisticated — or patient — enough for long-term conspiratorial plotting like that.
In fact, you don’t need a conspiracy to collapse a country. All you need is a large population with a short-term attention span, a class of elites with mind-boggling hubris, and a culture of “what’s good for me, right now.”
It’s clear that the professional malcontents who spend every day howling about Trump’s policy objectives aren’t truly motivated by their concern for America. Because if they were, they would not only demand changes to the status quo but would embrace people like Musk who are seeking to bring about those changes.
No, Trump’s diehard opponents are throwing hissy fits and predicting “the end of democracy” because the current system is lucrative for them, and they don’t want the gravy train to end. Their unhinged rants and hysterical headlines have been proven false — and deliberately deceitful — time and time again. Yet they continue to distract the American public with jeremiads and false accusations, trying to prevent us from recognizing that the grave problems we face are a direct result of disastrous policies promoted by the uniparty political class and other self-appointed elites; policies the Trump administration is trying to reverse.
We didn’t get here overnight; America has been headed toward a cliff for some time, and all the Pulitzer Prizes for propaganda don’t change that. Either we have the political will to alter our course, or we will face a future with hardships that are unimaginable to most Americans alive now.
