The Year Of The Wokescold | Ep. 686

Accomplishments

President Trump reflects on his first two years in office, highlighting what he considers historic accomplishments. He spent the holiday season at the White House, tweeting about his achievements and sharing a video message on New Year's Eve. In his message, Trump claimed, "there has never been an administration... that's done more than the Trump administration in the first two years of office." 1 Despite his self-praise, Ben Shapiro notes the president's isolation and the mixed public reactions to his administration's actions. Shapiro suggests that Trump's approach, particularly his use of Twitter, might not be the most effective way to project strength and unity 2.

   

Border Wall

The debate over border wall funding remains a contentious issue, with President Trump using Twitter to voice his frustrations. He criticized Democrats for not providing the $5 billion needed for the wall, comparing it to the security measures around the Obamas' residence. Shapiro explains that while Trump's focus on the wall is not inherently problematic, the constant tweeting might not be beneficial for his political strategy 3. Trump tweeted, "without the border security, without the wall, there can be no border security," emphasizing his belief in the wall's necessity 3.
