The American political landscape continues to shift dramatically in the early months of 2025. Have you noticed how quickly things are changing? Traditional political alignments are being tested, and voter sentiment shows significant movement.

Recent developments have revealed telling patterns about the direction of national politics. No spin from the mainstream media can hide what’s happening.

Key policy battles have intensified in Washington. Indeed, polls show substantial movement in public perception of the major parties. The implications could reshape expectations for governance.

Trump Torches Democrats

President Donald Trump, speaking from the White House in an exclusive interview, offered a blunt assessment of the current situation.

“The Democrat Party broke themselves, and they’re continuing to do so,” Trump told Breitbart News during an interview in a private dining room off the Oval Office. The president’s words come as Democrat favorability has plummeted to levels not seen in decades.

Recent polling tells a devastating story for Democrats. A CNN/SSRS poll found just 29 percent of American adults hold a favorable view of the Democrat Party. This is the lowest mark in CNN polling dating back to at least 2002. Even worse, an NBC News poll revealed only 27 percent of registered voters view the party positively, with a mere 7 percent holding “very positive” views. And honestly, who’s surprised?

CNN senior data analyst Harry Enten called the numbers unprecedented, noting they represent the worst score for the party “going back on record to 1990 in NBC News polling.”

Trump pointed to specific policy positions driving this collapse, characterizing Democratic stances on transgender issues and open borders as deeply unpopular.

“These aren’t 90-10, these are 95-5, and I don’t know who the 5 are,” Trump said. “But they have a new one that maybe is the worst of all: ‘Let’s fight so that Tren de Aragua, the worst criminals in the history of our country, can come back into America where they belong.'”

I’ve often wondered about that mysterious 5% myself. Who exactly thinks letting violent foreign gangs roam our streets is a winning platform?

Trump Acts While Democrats Obstruct

With this statement, Trump referenced the recent deportation of Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang members as a prime example of Democrat disconnection from mainstream values. When Trump invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to expedite the removal of these criminals, Democrats immediately sought judicial intervention.

Within hours, James Boasberg, chief judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, attempted to block the deportations.

“Any plane containing these folks that is going to take off or is in the air needs to be returned to the United States,” he ordered.

Unfortunately for him, however, the effort failed spectacularly. By Sunday morning, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele announced that 238 suspected TdA members had arrived in El Salvador, sharing video of them being deplaned and secured.

“That clip was unbelievable,” Trump remarked.

Today, the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua, arrived in our country. They were immediately transferred to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center, for a period of one year (renewable).

Executive Authority Prevails

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified that the deportations proceeded lawfully since the suspected gang members were already outside U.S. territory when the written order came down.

“Moreover, as the Supreme Court has repeatedly made clear — federal courts generally have no jurisdiction over the president’s conduct of foreign affairs, his authorities under the Alien Enemies Act, and his core Article II powers to remove foreign alien terrorists from U.S. soil and repel a declared invasion,” Leavitt stated.

The incident underscores a fundamental constitutional principle: “A single judge in a single city cannot direct the movements of an aircraft carrier full of foreign alien terrorists who were physically expelled from U.S. soil.”

Meanwhile, President Trump continues advancing his agenda at what observers call “warp speed” during his first hundred days, focusing on priorities that resonate with mainstream Americans.

The stark contrast could not be clearer. While Democrats align themselves with positions that alienate everyday Americans, the administration moves decisively on matters of national security and border enforcement. The record-low polling numbers suggest voters have noticed.

As this realignment continues, the fundamental question remains whether Democrats will reverse course or continue embracing policies that voters increasingly reject. For now, as President Trump observed, they appear determined to continue breaking themselves. And from where I’m sitting, they’re doing a remarkably efficient job of it.

Key Takeaways: 

• Democrats have crashed to a historic 27% favorability rating as they embrace radical policies most Americans reject.
• President Trump successfully deported 238 dangerous gang members despite a liberal judge’s attempted interference.
• The Constitution clearly limits judicial power over presidential foreign affairs decisions, as the White House forcefully affirmed.
• Americans overwhelmingly oppose Democrats’ stance on transgender issues, open borders, and protecting foreign criminals.
