The real housewives of the anti-Trump resistance

They reaped the benefits of opposing the president at a time when his fortunes seemed lowest

It wasn’t easy being a Trump administration staffer in January 2021 as the flock of political appointees were left with a difficult decision to make.

They could stay loyal to the president despite the establishment outcry over his repeated claims of massive electoral fraud in the 2020 election and the events of the January 6 Capitol riot. This came at a huge risk, as multiple former Trump staffers over the years have described to me the difficulties of finding a job outside of Trumpworld at that time. Some opted to continue to work for the president in the hope that his political brand would recover — a gamble that would eventually pay off.

Meyers: Criticizing Woke Bishop ‘A Good Sign That You’re a Sociopath’

First, it was Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday, then it was Stephen Colbert on Wednesday, and then finally it was NBC’s Seth Meyers on Thursday to round out the late night comedy shows’ staggered reaction to Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde’s woke plea to President Donald Trump. Unlike the other two, Meyers played a much shorter clip of Budde’s talk on Late Night that removed the context for why conservatives are upset at her but still used it to claim that any criticism of her “might be a good sign that you’re a sociopath.”

After a Decade of Unhinged Anti-Trump Furor, the Public Is Tuning Out the Shrill, Hysterical Left

President Trump won the 2024 election in part because the left’s hysterical style of attacking him no longer worked.

After a decade of this unhinged furor, it proved worthless in winning public support — and for two simple reasons.


Ha! – “The man was impeached twice, he was convicted on 34 felony counts,” Smith began. “And the American people still said ‘He’s closer to normal than what we’re seeing on the left.”

Only at the Guardian … ‘Safe to be a white male again’: how conservative media covered Trump’s first week

Americans really do inhabit two worlds: some shed tears of sadness at the advent of Donald Trump’s second presidency. Others cried, too – with joy.

Across the conservative, “post-liberal” and alternative media spheres, journalists, pundits and some social media circles celebrated the end of the Biden era with the enthusiasm of rebels toppling the relics of a collapsing dictatorship. As Trump swore his presidential oath, the writer Walter Kirn, a pro-Trump, anti-establishment agitator on X, grandiloquently declared: “This is a revolution against a corrupt ancien regime.”

Belgian Public Broadcaster Airs Trump Speech With Delay to “Allow Time for Analysis”

The French-language channel gives space to leftist and Islamist parties, but censors ‘right-wing’ views to “avoid normalising” them.

French-language Belgian television (RTBF) distinguished itself on the occasion of Donald Trump’s inauguration by broadcasting his speech not live but with a delay that was supposed to allow ‘politically dangerous remarks’ to be examined. The decision is sparking controversy over the relevance of the media cordon sanitaire rule that has been in force in Belgium since the 1990s.

Trump supporters slam AOC for ‘destructive’ response to Mariann Budde’s controversial sermon: ‘faux outrage’

Supporters of President Donald Trump ridiculed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cartez for suggesting that billionaire Elon Musk get deported for what she described as a ‘Nazi salute’ at the inauguration ceremonies on Monday.

Ocasio-Cortez singled out Rep. Mike Collins of Georgia for suggesting that Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde should be ‘deported’ for her sermon lecturing Trump on the need to allow illegal immigrants to remain in the United States.

‘What about the guy who did a Nazi salute behind the presidential seal?’ she asked, choosing to focus on Musk as the primary political villain.

After J6 Pardons, The FBI And DOJ Have Nothing To Show For Four Years Of Ignoring Terrorists And Child Traffickers

Over the last four years, Americans watched as the FBI and the Department of Justice worked overtime to imprison the citizens who bankroll them for daring to dissent from the Biden regime’s narratives. On his first day in office, with one stroke of a pen, President Donald Trump not only reversed that lawfare, but effectively solidified the premier federal law enforcement agencies’ places as some of the most corrupt, inefficient, and incompetent arms of the federal government.

Trump watches in disbelief as woke bishop scorns him with ‘transgender children fearing for their lives’ claims

President Donald Trump was left in disbelief as he was forced to listen to a woke bishop deliver a stunningly negative sermon calling for him to show ‘mercy’ to illegal immigrants and transgender children.

On the first full day of Trump’s presidency Marianne Budde, the left-wing Episcopal Bishop of Washington, unleashed a wild lecture claiming trans kids were ‘fearing for their lives’ due to him being in the Oval Office.

Trump sat stony-faced in the front row, next to First Lady Melania Trump, as the prelate told him illegal immigrants were not criminals and he shouldn’t deport those with children.

‘Our Long National Nightmare’: Comedy Shows Freak Out At Trump’s Return

When the late night comedy shows took to the air on Monday to lament Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, three main themes emerged. The first was that Trump is going to be a national nightmare. The second was that they have gone all in on embracing former President Joe Biden’s “oligarchy” warnings. Finally, it was deemed ironic that Inauguration Day happened to fall on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. To recap their collective wailing and gnashing of teeth, here is an NQ-style recap of CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show.

Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Monday afternoon — and as expected, America’s propaganda media are not happy.

Still emotionally distraught after the American people overwhelmingly rejected their Democrat darling Kamala Harris, so-called “journalists” and media personalities quickly descended into anger and sorrow during Trump’s inauguration.
