Getting What We Voted For

Trump's first week was all Project 2025, all the time

So how did week one work out for you? Was it everything you dreamed it would be, Red Hats? Was it everything you were told? Was it everything you fantasized? Did it give you that warm, fuzzy feeling? Was it everything you possibly, your little heart could have imagined? Was it as good as scoring the winning touchdown you never scored? or getting the girl you never got or that job you were never going to get?

Because here's the thing. This is what I want to know: How deep we have to go? Where is the depravity line? Where is that place where you go “That's too far?” Where is that place where you go “No, this isn't who we are?” Where is that place where you go “Hey … you've overreached?”

We just wanted cheap eggs. We wanted cheap gas. We wanted to be able to buy stuff again. We didn't want all of the absolute insanity. Now we're going to take over Canada and Greenland and Panama.

The frustrating part of all this is it's been a Trump week … of just constant, constant assault, a constant assault on your senses. And look, I've had a number of friends call me and go, “I can't do it. I can't watch all of this depravity. I can't watch all of the suffering,” and I say, “Look, you're going to have to.”

Because I truly believe, as I've said, the solutions will come out of their savagery. The suffering that comes because of their savagery is what's going to pull the 70% that didn't vote for him in a direction that says, this isn't who we are. This isn't what we want.

This isn't what America is about.

But as I've said before, the only way we as a nation unite is in a moment of crisis.

And America … we're in crisis.
