Donald Trump has just completed the first three weeks of his presidency – and is now more popular than ever. In a whirlwind, Trump has taken dramatic and sometimes drastic action to reverse the effects of the last four years, especially what I’d call its leadership deficit.

A new poll from CBS News found a majority approves of the job Trump is doing for the first time in either of his terms. As their analyst put it, that is because “he’s doing … what he said he would do in the campaign.” It also comes from the popularity of Trump’s agenda to secure the borders, deport criminal aliens, and ending the governmental obsession with race-based preferences in public policy.

But that’s not the entire story. The CBS analyst also credited a “general sense of governance” as the reason for Trump’s popular support. The implication here is clear: Americans were fed up by four years of governance by a cabal of Democrat operatives while fronting a clearly incompetent Joe Biden.

Leadership matters. Donald Trump is delivering it while Democrats can do little but weep.

They didn’t see this coming.

The New York Times has noticed a fascinating trend. Evidently for the New York Times, maybe a troubling trend. A recent headline made that clear: “When Your Son Goes MAGA.” The paper then explained that a good number of liberal parents struggle to understand their own young conservative sons. Quoting just one line from the paper: “As more young men support President Trump, some parents are feeling flummoxed.”

They shouldn’t have been shocked.

And it’s not just politics. For the first time in living memory, young men are now more likely than young women to attend church. An earlier report from the New York Times saw the trend: “For the first time in modern American history, young men are now more religious than their female peers. They attend services more often and are more likely to identify as religious.”

Listen to that. For the first time in living memory, young men are more likely than young women to attend church.

We’re living in interesting times.

In his first weeks in office, President Trump has produced “shock and awe” with a dazzling array of executive orders. One of his chief targets has been the “DEI”—or diversity, equity and inclusion”—initiatives sprinkled throughout government.

As it turns out, the Biden administration wasn’t just peddling DEI here at home. It was imposing it throughout the world.

Americans have been paying for drag shows in Ecuador, LGBTQ comic books in Peru, transgender operations in Colombia, and expanding atheism in Nepal.

Apparently, the only diversity we weren’t subsidizing was cultural diversity—by respecting the conservative, religious heritages of these countries.

The next time the left complains about the government downsizing Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency are implementing, remember the radical social agenda the State Department has been exporting in our name. No doubt it’s just the tip of the iceberg.
