House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries took to ABC News’ “This Week” recently to deliver a performance that has become all too familiar: he blamed Donald Trump for every woe facing the nation while attempting to ignore the fact that the Democrats have held the reins for most of the past four years. It’s almost comical how Jeffries, despite the change in administration, can’t seem to shake off the habit of deflecting responsibility.
In a rather futile attempt to connect high living costs to the former president, Jeffries engaged in a lengthy monologue that could easily win a gold medal in the sport of blame-shifting. Observers noted that with Trump having been in office for just over three weeks, the idea of laying all the nation’s problems at his feet seems more like a punchline than serious political discourse. Unless time travel becomes feasible – and frankly, it seems more are waiting for a practical flying car – expecting Trump to erase the disastrous policies of the previous administration is wishing for a fairy tale ending.

The highlight of the segment came when host John Karl confronted Jeffries with hard data that illustrated how out of touch the Democrats have become. Instead of presenting a solid argument, Jeffries’ reaction resembled someone whose car just spun out on an icy road. His discomfort became palpable as he absorbed the reality that a significant majority of Americans support Trump’s policies: 60% want to see illegals deported, another 60% support expanding oil and gas production, and 59% believe an emergency should be declared at the southern border. These numbers painted a stark contrast to the Democrats’ current positions, leaving Jeffries scrambling to defend the indefensible.
It was hard not to chuckle at Jeffries’ stunned expression as he processed this barrage of facts. One would think he was staring at a ghost rather than merely facing the consequences of his party’s decisions. In that moment, the distress of a party facing a dwindling support base played out across his face like a bad soap opera.
While Jeffries eventually regained his composure and resumed the tired old line of finger-pointing at Trump, it’s clear the Dems are living in a world of their own making. They’ve announced a so-called “Rapid Response Task Force” in another attempt to mitigate the damage, but watching their struggles invites a chuckle – it’s akin to a magician who forgot his tricks, trying desperately to salvage a disappearing act.
In conclusion, it’s a tough time to be a Democrat when the narrative gets too thick to swallow and stray from reality seems like the only option. The raucous reception Trump received at Daytona while he rode ‘The Beast’ around the track only underlined how out of step the left is with mainstream America. The chorus of “Trump is responsible for Bidenflation” is akin to a broken record that just won’t play a new tune. The truth is, the American people see through the smoke and mirrors, and the upcoming election cycles are primed to reflect just that.
