America first does not mean America alone. It means America is focused. America ordered. America is serious again.

Which helps explain why President Trump's approval numbers—despite wall-to-wall negativity—are outperforming not just Biden’s, but Obama’s and Bush’s at the same point in their presidencies.

This is where the media narrative collapses.

We’re told relentlessly that Trump is “divisive,” “chaotic,” “dangerous.” And yet, when measured against the same standard applied to his predecessors, the public registers something different. Voters see outcomes. They see economic improvement. They see deterrence restored.

They see a president who speaks plainly and acts decisively.

Meanwhile, the same media that treated Obama’s 40% approval in late 2013 as a temporary hiccup now treats Trump’s higher numbers as an existential crisis. The same outlets that downplayed Biden’s collapse into the high- 30s now hyperventilate over Trump breaking into the mid-40s.

Here’s the reality they can’t escape: Trump’s record is performing better than any of the past six administrations at this same stage. Better economically. Better in energy. Better on deterrence. Better on border enforcement. Better on regulatory reform. And now, better in public approval than Obama himself.

That doesn’t mean the job is finished. It means the direction is right.
