The people have spoken, and they’ve spoken loudly. Not only did President-elect Donald Trump secure a decisive victory in the November 5 election, but he also captured the popular vote with over 77 million Americans casting their ballots in his favor. Despite relentless attacks from the media and Democratic operatives, Trump’s transition team is riding high on approval ratings, proving yet again that the mainstream narrative is out of touch with the will of the people.
Even CNN—yes, CNN—had to admit it. Harry Enten, the network’s senior data analyst, broke down the undeniable fact: this is Trump’s Republican Party now. The so-called “old guard” of the GOP, particularly those who voted to impeach him, have largely been swept aside.
Enten didn’t mince words: “They’re adios amigos, goodbye!” he quipped, in a nod to the shifting political landscape. Trump has not only consolidated his power but reshaped the Republican Party into a movement driven by MAGA principles.
WOW—CNN just released a poll showing that 55% of Americans approve of the way Trump is handling the transition.

What does this mean for the future? For starters, it signals a strong foundation for Trump to push through his legislative agenda. Enten noted that 96% of GOP voters approve of Trump’s transition efforts—an almost unheard-of level of unity in today’s polarized political climate. This kind of support makes it far harder for establishment Republicans to obstruct the agenda that voters clearly endorsed.
The mandate from the American people is crystal clear: they want an economy that works for them, a secure border, and a government that’s focused on its constitutional duties, not bloated bureaucracy. They’re tired of being overtaxed, underrepresented, and micromanaged by an elite class that refuses to put America first. Trump’s victory and subsequent approval ratings underscore this sentiment.

It's Trump Party & his GOP opponents can cry if they want to...
1. Almost all GOP who voted to impeach/convict Trump are gone from Congress.
2. 96% (!!!) GOP voters approve of his prez transition, which is up 16 pts (!) from Jan 2017.
3. All 2028 GOP frontrunners are MAGA. pic.twitter.com/Nnr8knbZcf

Looking ahead, Trump’s movement isn’t just about one man—it’s about an enduring political philosophy. The bench of rising MAGA stars is deep and growing. JD Vance, Donald Trump Jr., and Vivek Ramaswamy are just a few of the names carrying the torch. These are leaders who understand the grassroots energy driving the party and are poised to continue the fight against entrenched special interests.
The media and establishment elites miscalculated, again. They thought relentless negative coverage and attacks on Trump’s nominees would sway the public, but Americans are tuning out the noise. Voters see through the bureaucratic nonsense and recognize the need to clean house. Trump’s overwhelming support shows that the people demand action, not business as usual.
