We’ve had Teflon John (Gotti), and Teflon Ron (Reagan). Now, get ready for Teflon Don – yep, you guessed it, Trump!
The Democrats and their media allies sure have tried it all, haven’t they? They’ve spent nearly a decade attempting to knock down the 45th (and soon-to-be 47th) president, but somehow, nothing sticks.
They say practice makes perfect, but in the case of today’s Dems? Well, it’s more like practice makes no difference at all. Their constant attacks on Trump haven’t made a dent with most Americans. Outside of hardcore followers of outlets like The New York Times and CNN, these claims just don’t resonate.
The media keeps trying new angles to bring him down. But they keep missing the mark, and it’s getting harder to ignore. Here’s just a small sampling of the accusations that have bounced right off Trump’s thick skin:
- Trump’s an agent of the Kremlin? Nope.
- Trump called neo-Nazis “fine people”? Absolutely false.
- Trump built cages for migrant kids? That was Obama.
- Trump’s own words caused assassination attempts against him? Come on, really?
- Trump’s a threat to democracy? That didn’t quite hold up when he won the popular vote.
And lately, the attacks have gotten downright bizarre. Take, for example, the recent claims that Elon Musk is secretly pulling Trump’s strings. According to one CNN headline, “Trump bristles at Musk’s growing profile.” The left thought this would shake Trump’s popularity, but guess what? His approval ratings are higher than ever.
Let’s be clear: No one runs Donald Trump. If they haven’t figured that out by now, they’re never going to.
Then there was the January 6th coverage. Sunny Hostin from The View went as far as to compare the Capitol riot to World War II and the Holocaust. Let’s be real – those events cost millions of lives, and it’s an understatement to say it’s a huge stretch. Despite the media’s attempt to paint it as a national tragedy, Americans seem largely indifferent. According to a CNN poll, only 5% of people named January 6th as the most significant moment of Trump’s first term.
Talk about a media disconnect.
And here’s something even more outlandish – Trump recently floated the idea of purchasing Greenland, a territory of Denmark, for its military strategy and natural resources like oil, gas, and rare-earth minerals. But instead of looking at this seriously, the media jumped straight into panic mode. MSNBC’s Alex Wagner actually asked, “Do we want to side with sovereignty, or imperial expansion?” Meanwhile, NBC News claimed, “Greenlanders are worried to find themselves on Trump’s shopping list.” Seriously?
This all leads back to the same tired formula: the media paints every Trump move as extreme, overblown, or downright scary. But guess what? It’s not working.
The latest chapter in this saga involves Judge Juan Merchan, who is set to sentence Trump in the so-called “hush-money” case. It’s clear this is politically charged, and the left is hoping to make history by calling Trump the first convicted felon to be president. But even if that happens, it won’t matter to most Americans.
Why? Because the constant name-calling doesn’t fix the issues people care about:
- It won’t lower grocery or gas prices.
- It won’t stop violent crime in their communities.
- It won’t help prevent California wildfires.
- It won’t fix the chaos at the border or overseas.
That’s why Trump won in 2016, and why he’ll win again in 2025. He’s seen as the one who can tackle the mess the country is in.
So, come January 20th, Teflon Don will be back in the Oval Office, ready to take on whatever comes next.
