Campaign Update: Leaving No Stone Unturned, the Trump Economy is Booming
I’ve pointed it out many times here, but it merits reminding one more time: This is not your uncle’s Donald J. Trump. Today’s Trump is not the Trump of 2017, overwhelmed, besieged by palace enemies like John Kelly and H.R. McMaster, unprepared to take on the pressures of a job he really did not expect to win, and incapable of following through on his promise to “clean the swamp.”
Today’s Trump is systematically going about tearing down that swamp with baby step after baby step, lopping off the heads - ok, well, at least firing - of deep state hacks in every nook and cranny of the federal government. We saw another of hundreds of great examples of this reality happen on Friday.
Where 2017 Trump couldn’t even manage to replace the deep state skunk Jim Comey with a loyal American in the FBI job, 2025 Trump made doing that one of his very first priorities upon taking the oath of office. Now, just four months into this second presidency, 2025 Trump took out another deep state hack at a place no one saw coming: The National Portrait Gallery.
