People keep asking me what I think of our President now that he’s been back in office for a year.
You’ve seen the headlines. Mass deportations on a scale nobody thought a modern president would actually try. Executive orders flying so fast Washington can’t even finish being outraged about the last one. Half the country says it’s chaos, the other half says it’s finally someone doing what he promised.
Gas prices down from the worst of the Biden era, some relief on energy and inflation if you actually pay the bills in your house. At the same time, every pollster on TV tells you Americans are still angry about the cost of living and not impressed with how he’s handling the economy. Business loves the deregulation and tax moves, bureaucrats hate the cuts, and the media? The media wakes up every morning hoping today’s the day he finally goes too far.
So when people ask me, ‘Well, what do you think of Trump now?’ I keep it simple. I don’t say perfect. I don’t say polite. I don’t say safe.
I say: Boldest. Man. Alive.
Because love him or hate him, nobody else on earth is taking bigger swings, under brighter lights, with more enemies aiming at his back—and still walking toward the fight.”
“And if you doubt me on ‘boldest man alive,’ roll the tape from Davos.
Black wool coat, Swiss snow, twenty‑foot‑wide red carpet rolled out for one man the global elite spent eight years calling a joke, a criminal, a mistake. Yet when he steps off that helicopter and starts that slow walk up the carpet, every camera turns. The CEOs, the bankers, the presidents—people who pretend to hate him—are all watching the same figure in the middle of all that red.
Inside, they’re talking climate, ESG, and how to manage the ‘American problem.’ He walks in and trashes their script—hits their windmills, their migration mess, their green energy fantasies, and tells them flat that America is going to drill, build, and tariff its way back to the top. You can hear the room trying to stay polite and the headlines already being written in real time.
That Davos walk is the picture in my head when people ask, ‘So what do you think of him after a year back in office?’ I think of that black coat, that red carpet, that room full of people who wish he wasn’t there—and the fact that he is there anyway, saying exactly what they don’t want to hear.
That’s why I say: Boldest. Man. Alive.”
