Fox News host Greg Gutfeld believes that the Republican Party has never been as successful, in his lifetime, as they have been under the stewardship of President Donald Trump, and the evidence shows he may be correct.
“Just stepping back, I just feel like, are there any politicians or political parties left? Like I feel as though Trump has flooded the zone. He’s disappeared Democrats from the game board, but also any kind of like, never Trumpy Republican, are they — do they still exist?” the host of “The Five” said.
“I don’t think there’s been any Republican president that’s had a week like this. I don’t remember it. The party has never been this effective or successful in my — in my lifetime. I mean, maybe over time, it happens. But this, you can’t have a better week than this. And a lot of this stuff that he’s doing, you know, in the executive orders. But also, here is a layup, because the solutions were always there. It’s just that the Dems refused to accept them. It was a failure, not just of common sense, but also a failure of will. No one is having any issue with what Trump is doing. They just didn’t know it wasn’t being done. They didn’t know what they were missing, including in disasters,” he said.
“This is a contrast between an actual president and a cardboard prop. You know, Trump is aware of what’s going on the ground. He actually listens to people. And if you tell him something, he’s going to do something about it. For some reason, he’s engaged, whether it’s in crime, he’ll talk to victims with immigration. Will talk to border agents. He talks to people in A.I., he seems to get a grasp of almost every issue by talking to the people involved,” the host said.
“But if you were in a disaster or a catastrophe, if you’re a victim, and you went on any network and you were pleading, it would never get to Biden, either he couldn’t hear it or he wouldn’t do anything about it.And when you watch Trump act signing all these executive orders and attacking every problem, you just don’t — you don’t just see his effectiveness. You realize what was missing, a leader. We had four years without a leader, and now we’re acting like, wow, this feels pretty good. It’s like — it’s like having you — suddenly, you’re like, oh, now I know what this is like. This is how it works. Pretty good,” he said.
