Rep. Cory Booker (D-NJ) attempts to maintain the illusion that Democrats have the upper hand against President Donald Trump, despite mounting evidence to the contrary. On Sunday, Booker surfaced on CNN to convey his perplexing belief that the Democratic Party’s strategy to counter Trump, indeed, “is working.”
It’s astonishing how Booker, along with certain factions of the Democratic Party, remains insistent on this narrative. When questioned by CNN host Dana Bash on why Democrats couldn’t offer a more robust plan after supposedly forewarning voters about Project 2025, Booker seemed unperturbed and responded: “Well, again, I think the plan right now is working in four parts.”
Booker claims, “One is a legal strategy to stop him from violating the separation of powers, from violating our civil service laws, civil rights laws, and we’re winning. We see 41 cases being taken, 10 of them last week, 12 of them, excuse me, were successful in stopping some of his illegal actions.” Yet, the true efficacy of these so-called victories remains highly questionable, as they primarily are symbolic rather than substantive legal triumphs that would meaningfully influence Trump’s trajectory or his solid base.
Furthermore, Booker outlined, “The next is a legislative and oversight effort to really try to expose it, not to treat this as Democrat versus Republican, right or left, but really right or wrong and continue to try to use our positions procedurally as well as legislatively to stop what he’s doing.” Interestingly, the Democrats continue to voice this familiar divide-and-conquer rhetoric while claiming the moral high ground. However, many observers see through this as mere political theater, creating more division rather than fostering substantials solutions that benefit Americans at large.
In his conclusion, Booker stated, “Then finally, perhaps most importantly, because all of us have to have a role, from the media to everyday citizens, which is shining a light on the dark corners of what they’re doing and how it is actually endangering Americans’ lives, is threatening to raise the cost of people’s everyday goods and inflation and more.” Booker heaps responsibility on the media and citizens, although it is the very media outlets that skew narratives and attempt to sabotage Trump’s efforts to uplift the working population by reigniting the economy and making America First policies a priority.
Despite Booker’s assertions, the continual strength of Trump’s movement demonstrates a clear disconnect between reality and the fantasy narrative spun by certain Democratic leaders along with their media allies.
Booker thinks Democrats are ‘winning’? I’m not sure Booker knows what winning looks like. His long-running failures speak for themselves. This is just more of the same delusional rhetoric that proves this is all just game for Democrats.
