Commentary for a Sunday: Even Leftist WaPo Forced to Admit Trump on a ‘Hot Streak,’ Positioned to Dominate U.S. Politics for Years

The once-vaunted Washington Post is now not much more than a Democratic National Committee mouthpiece, and its opinion pages can be expected to be full of leftist propaganda on any given day.

Amazon founder and Post owner Jeff Bezos has tried to steer the outlet toward a more balanced approach, and while he has arguably had some success in that effort, old reputations—and old habits—die hard.

Which is why it is a surprise to see the Post’s editorial board print a Friday opinion piece that actually reflects reality and not just progressive propaganda. President Trump is on an epic winning streak, they admit, and he looks to be in a position to dominate politics in this country even after his presidency is complete.

Trump is on the longest hot streak of his second term. He signed his ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ on Independence Day. He avoided an escalating conflict after bombing Iranian nuclear sites by cajoling Israel to agree to a ceasefire. The Supreme Court issued a string of decisions permitting the president to use broad executive powers. The costs of his tariffs, the subject of much attention this week, have not yet bitten hard.

Among other things, the past couple of weeks show that Trump can still enforce party discipline. Just ask Sen. Thom Tillis (RINO-NC), who opted to retire after deciding to oppose the president’s tax bill.

The winning results have been noted all along by the few conservative outlets, and the Post is apparently finally catching up on the hot-button news.

Trump could also dominate the 2028 conversation. He might be a kingmaker in the GOP primaries, and he’s in no rush to anoint an heir. Asked whether JD Vance is his successor, he responded by praising the vice president and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

They then lay out various scenarios—most of them silly attempts at fear-mongering—in which Trump could attempt to stay in office past 2028. Although the president has said there are ways he could serve a third term, he has also said in separate remarks he does not intend to attempt such measures. Even if he did, many believe, the hill would be exceptionally steep for him to pull that off.

The Post being the Post, they went on to try to demonize his agenda by claiming:

– the One Big Beautiful Bill has the potential to cause ‘a fiscal crisis the likes of which Americans have never experienced,’

– the U.S. attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities weren’t all that successful, and

– his ‘erratic tariff policy risks stoking inflation’ (which thus far has not occurred).

They end up spewing out all the usual mainstream media doom and gloom prognostications that never quite seem to pan out the way they predicted.

But then they were hit with a dose of reality and acknowledged the commander in chief is currently in the driver’s seat:

The president has proved to be one of the most resilient American politicians ever to hold office, and the future might be better or worse than these predictions suggest.

But, as Trump rolls out a new, massive tariff seemingly every hour, the bigger he goes, the higher the risk to the nation’s fortunes.

It is going to be a long three and a half years (or more) for the depressives at the Post. Sit back fellow conservatives and enjoy the show.
