We All Knew This CNN Narrative About DOGE Was Going to Implode

It’s great to be so ahead of the curve that you know when the liberal media is going to trip over its feet. In late February, the narrative was that the work of the Department of Government Efficiency under Elon Musk was hurting Donald Trump. It was right around the time when CNN and others were trotting out the fake news narrative that Trump’s approval ratings were dropping like a rock—they’re not.

"The American people are... angry. And they're rising up..."
Polls show Musk/Doge is hurting Trump more than helping.

So, given that the American public LOVED Trump’s address to Congress, CBS News and CNN reported massive support for the president’s agenda to 76 and 69 percent, respectively. You can’t spin that as outliers—Americans want spending cuts and government workers to be fired. The network finally admitted that DOGE and the work they’re doing in DC is popular:

So, please keep screaming into the void, Democrats. Your brand is unpopular, illiberal, and should be illegal.
