Eighty-five days into Donald Trump’s second term, and it’s been like a quad espresso venti to the nation’s veins—no dozing Joe Biden shuffling through the White House here, folks! With a cabinet meeting straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster, Trump’s team reported on the progress to save us from open-border chaos, a drug epidemic fueled by China’s, and a debt crisis that has our nation on the ropes. The last administration was asleep at the wheel, but Trump is here to drive this train now and remind us what “America First” really looks like—and China’s not happy about it.  

Let’s start with the border, where Trump’s turned the tide on a security nightmare. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem reported a second month of record-low border crossings, rolling out a self-deportation program with a legal return path. This comes after Trump shut down Biden’s CBP One app on day one, which had 280,000 migrants logging in daily to waltz across our border. Now they remain in Mexico, and the Pentagon’s building walls, not bridges, to keep it that way.
