President Trump’s transition team is no doubt busy picking potential White House staff officials for the next administration, but he shouldn’t bother too much with figuring out his next press secretary. In fact, it’s best that he eliminate the position altogether.

White House press secretaries are supposed to field inquiries from the news media and keep reporters abreast of administrative affairs, but that’s not how people see the press secretary’s job anymore, thanks to our godawful, not-dead-yet Washington press corp. Most people now know the press secretary as the official who stands at a podium almost daily and answers a series of mindless questions from reporters who hope to be seen on TV with a daring facial expression.

To wit, the most insufferable part of Trump’s first term by far was the daily press briefing. It’s how dopes like CNN’s Jim Acosta and PBS’s Yamiche Alcindor became somewhat household names. What’s supposed to be an informative and fairly blasé event was used by these freaks to get famous by asking stupidly confrontational questions every single day, including questions to the effect of “Why do you disagree with the Statue of Liberty?”

In 2017, Acosta literally quoted the text on the statue before accusing then-White House adviser Stephen Miller of “trying to change what it means to be an immigrant” by expecting foreigners to speak English and contribute meaningfully to society.

In 2020, Alcindor literally asked then-U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams to respond to nobodies on social media who pretended to

Legacy media spent months spinning former President Donald Trump as a “Nazi” and a “threat to democracy.” So when he won the election in a landslide, the media had primed leftists for the natural reaction: mental breakdowns and, potentially, violence.

As Trump gained on Vice President Kamala Harris across the board, the corporate media’s false confidence — which they also instilled in their listeners — began to dissipate. Videos of leftists breaking down in tears flooded X.

“Reddit Lies,” an X account, posted numerous examples of mental breakdowns on election night. Before the election, one user cited a recent poll by Ann Selzer (nonsensically forecasting Harris would take Iowa by storm) and predicted a blue wave come Election Day, which is laughable given the Trump landslide.

But as The Federalist reported, legacy media was pushing this poll to give Harris supporters false hope. This resulted in massive mental breakdowns for leftists when delusion met truth. 

One Reddit user purportedly divorced his wife for voting for Trump. Another, apparently a teacher of high school seniors, said two students had panic attacks by 8:30 a.m. the day after the election. Another user claimed to see a swastika on Chicago’s Trump Tower — but it was nowhere to be found.

The breakdowns also took a darker turn. The platform’s “Suicide Watch” thread has been flooded with comments about suicide due to Trump’s victory. A father of autistic children said he attempted suicide, and others made similar claims.

The Covid years were tough, and now they’re finally ending. In two weeks, I’ll have a health book coming out that in part explains the story of why the lockdowns were so devastating. At the same time, Trump’s election gives hope to aggressively address the issues outlined in the pages.

Former President Donald Trump hit a grand slam Tuesday. Republicans finally reclaimed the Senate and the White House four years after America’s deadly lockdowns coincided with a year of political turmoil and ended in a riot at the Capitol. Trump’s legacy was almost diminished as an ex-president whose tenure was defined by cultural unrest and whose exit interrupted the smooth transfer of power.

On Election Night 2024, Fox News anchor Bret Baier characterized Trump’s comeback from the Capitol disaster as “probably the biggest political phoenix from the ashes that we have ever seen in the history of politics.”

Trump came back through all of it despite Democrats doing everything in their power to thwart his return — impeachment, bankruptcy campaigns, criminal convictions, and even two attempted assassinations — as one of the most triumphant figures in presidential history.

Not only would Trump survive the opposition campaigns, he would conquer the institutions that empowered them and reclaim moral authority over a divided nation. Trump ran as the flag-bearer for the widest multi-racial tent the Republican Party has seen in decades. He nearly doubled his share of the black vote, dominated with male voters, and won over more Hispanics, outperforming past
