The liberal media has spent years dismissing President Donald Trump as a “lame duck” or an authoritarian “king,” but the latest polling data and his unprecedented executive actions prove just how wrong they are. CNN’s senior data reporter Harry Enten, hardly a conservative cheerleader, delivered a brutal reality check to the left: “He ain’t no lame duck. If anything, he’s a soaring eagle.” The numbers don’t lie—Trump has already signed 111 executive orders in 2025, the most at this point in a presidency in over 100 years, surpassing even Harry S. Truman’s record in the 1950s.
Despite the left’s relentless fearmongering, the American people recognize that Trump is delivering on his promises with historic vigor. Enten noted, “The bottom line is whether you like Trump or you don’t like him, you can’t say that he’s coming and not try to deliver on what he at least believes was his promises on the campaign trail, and he’s doing so in historic fashion.” This isn’t about partisan spin—it’s about undeniable results. While the liberal media screeches about “abuses of power,” 86% of Americans acknowledge that Trump’s approach to presidential authority is completely different from past leaders. Even 79% of Democrats admit it.
The left’s hysterical claim that Trump is a “dictator” falls flat when faced with the facts. When asked if Trump has too much power, only 47% agreed—meaning a 53% majority believe he either has the right amount or even too little authority. Enten hammered this point home: “The idea that argument that Donald Trump is a king, that I don’t think holds with the American people.” The data proves that Trump’s bold leadership resonates with voters tired of weak, ineffective governance.
Trump's going for history & redefining the presidency: "he ain't no lame duck… He's a soaring eagle!"

While CNN and other left-wing outlets obsess over painting Trump as an out-of-control tyrant, his record speaks for itself. He’s not a “lame duck”—he’s a president who refuses to back down, fulfilling his commitments with unmatched energy. Enten summed it up perfectly: “The executive orders he signed certainly suggest he’s no lame duck. He is, as I said at the beginning, a soaring eagle.”
The liberal media’s meltdown over Trump’s success only highlights their desperation. They can’t stand that he’s proving them wrong—again.
