The first weeks of President Trump back to the White House have included government groups trying to understand their funds and Wall Street investors by being deceived by trade wars that seemed to start and then ended instantly.
But through all, the mood between those in the right -wing media has been nothing less than ebullient.
“I don’t have enough time for all the victory,” said Dan Bongino, a tall trump supporter and right -wing podcaster, said Tuesday at his show. “Is a good problem to have.”
A crust of right -wing and media figures has passed Mr. Trump’s first two weeks in office by responding to his every move with a unified sense of support and even fear. The triumphant tone can reflect a significant advantage for Mr. Trump during his second presidential term: in the eyes of the right -wing media, he can make no mistake.
Many of these right -wing media figures have long been identified as allies of Mr. Trump, avoiding traditional media practices to avoid the emergence of political prejudice.
Mr. Trump has scored some achievements in his short time in the White House. He has signed a host of executive orders aimed at reformulating Washington, and all his cabinet choices faced with a vote before the Congress was confirmed.
But there were also obstacles. Mr. Trump’s administration suddenly raised trillions of dollars in government funds just to see two federal judges block the order. The administration gave up the plan two days later. A federal judge also blocked an executive order intended to end the so -called birth citizenship.
However, the idea of winning non -stop is being pushed by the White House itself. Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in an interview by Fox News that “there is so much wins from the White House Trump that the main inheritance media cannot continue with it.”
It is not just the right -wing media that notes the successes of Mr. Trump. The title of an e -mail newspaper Axio on Tuesday highlighted “Trump’s winning belt”.
But for the right -wing personalities and the influencers of social media who are fully lined up behind him and his agenda, Mr. Trump’s victories are absolute. Both chaos and confusion can be a victory in themselves – a sign of demolition in the country’s capital.
“Literally the only thing that the left has is that Trump has failed to lower egg prices in 6 days because he has done almost everything else,” Charlie Kirk, a Trump ally and chief of Turning Point, a The youth -focused conservative group wrote in X. “This is called the winner.”
Users on social media circulated carefully curated lists of Mr. Trump’s actions since he entered the White House, mixing visible victories along with more dubious claims.
A prominent right -wing account on X, which has more than 3.5 million followers, has allocated a list of 16 wins in appearance. He claimed that California water tanks were “filled” based on Mr. Trump’s order, after a fraudulent claim that the state water administration policy led to dry hydrants during the fires of Los Angeles. (Mr Trump’s administration released more than a billion liters of water from two dams, but none of them will reach Los Angeles.) He also stated that funds for the US Agency for International Development were “canceled”. (It was not, though the Trump administration ordered that almost all its employees rest.)
Similar lists list detailed achievements ranging from exaggerated to fantastic, including that Mr. Trump had “made peace” between Israel and Hamas. (A ceasefire agreement was hit at the end of President Joseph R. Biden Jr. with the involvement of Mr. Trump, though deep enmity remain between Israel and Hamas.)
The power of pro-trump messages was particularly clear during Mr. Trump’s threat to install 25 percent tariffs in Canada and Mexico. Within hours on Monday, the stock market had fallen sharply, Canada had vowed revenge tariffs, and Wall Street experts gathered on television to underline it, historically no one wins in a trade war.
Before the day was over, Mr. Trump had announced a 30-day pause on tariffs.
Whether it was a victory for Mr. Trump or did not seem to stand in the eye of the beholder. Canada and Mexico both announced plans on Monday they were, to some extent, already notified or within the limits of previous commitments. Other plans, including a new Czar drug proposed for Canada, had not yet entered into force, and their influence on Mr. Trump’s unclear advantages – which flowed Fentanil’s course, among other things – remained unclear.
Many personalities in the right -wing media saw a clearer triumph for Mr. Trump in exchange. Podcast “The House of War” called it a “full victory” and a “truly historical day” day. Tim Pool, a right -wing podcaster, said Mr. Trump “had already won” a trade war that had not yet begun. Even Ben Shapiro, the right -wing podcaster who has long criticized tariffs as costly taxes, said Mr. Trump’s plan paired with other tax cuts would be “a valuable trade”.
The conservative Wall Street Journal’s conservative thought page noticed right -wing media’s apparent unity.
“None of this means that tariffs are a game of genius energy,” the editorial board wrote, “while the Trump media crust was boasting.”
