Top 10 Winners and Losers in the First 100 Days of Trump’s New Term
Last week was one for the books.
Our President visited the Middle East and was greeted with red carpets (and lavender), camels on parade, beautiful Arabian horses in formation, sword dancers, and the pièce de résistance, a mobile McDonald’s truck standing ready amid the fanfare.
Everyone’s got strong opinions about the first 100 days of Trump 2.0. You may love it (I do) or you may be cautiously optimistic. One thing is sure: the US enjoys a new place of respect in the world thanks to our radical shift to strength, patriotism, and no-nonsense American pragmatism.
Democrats continue to fume. They are against pretty much everything that President Trump wants to do. They’re against getting rid of waste and fraud in government, synthetic dyes in our food, and for some reason, they don’t want rapists and murderers deported. According to a recent poll, 71% of Democrats want to see visionary businessman and technology pioneer Elon Musk in jail. A different survey revealed that about half on the left thinks it would be justified if Musk or Trump were assassinated. It gives off a strong, deranged vibe. Almost like a syndrome…hmmm.
As we see it, the last 100 days have shined a light clearly revealing winners and losers in this new Golden Era – and we’re counting them down.
#10 Winners:
Auto Makers
Naysayers claimed that tariffs would drastically increase vehicle prices; however, the opposite happened as car companies began offering special pricing and deals. POTUS recently advocated for the American auto industry, promising to reimburse some of the tariffs charged, and received praise from the top three auto makers.
During a recent interview with Trace Gallagher on Fox News, Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno pointed out that the car prices previously shot up as much as $8000 due to regulations and the push toward electric vehicles, policies of the Biden White House.
“President Trump is going to drive an unprecedented amount of auto manufacturing back to America, unlike anything we’ve ever seen in our lifetimes,” Moreno said. “We have to rebuild our industrial heartland, and it’s going to start with making automobiles at scale here in America… I’m so happy to have a President that really cares deeply about the auto industry.” 1
#10 Losers:
Tren de Aragua
Tren de Aragua, MS-13, and other gangs were invited to our nation by the former administration through their open border policy. The party for these “bad hombres” is over as the Department of Homeland Security takes aim at deporting “the worst, first.” These have been responsible for high-profile murders like those of Kayla Hamilton, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin, as well as countless others that didn’t make the national news. Abuse, rape, molestation, robbery, car-jacking, and brutal killings were unleashed on our streets by illegal alien criminals. They easily make our list of the biggest losers.
#9 Winners:
US Border Patrol Agents
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem speaks glowingly about our border patrol agency. They are winners to us as brave patriots who have endured so much abuse and discord during the previous administration. Now, they have been instrumental in shutting down illegal crossings.
“They tell me they’re happy because they get to do their job,” Noem shared. “Can you imagine signing up to be in the border patrol and then being assigned to process and help people come into this country illegally? That’s what they’ve been doing. Now they’re back at their duty stations, they’re enforcing the law. They’re thrilled. The mission of the agency is to keep America safe and to do so with honor and integrity.”
Our hats are off to each one of these courageous men and women.
#9 Losers:
Colorado
They aren’t the only state trying to push through radical gender legislation – they are just one of the worst.
HR 1312 sits on Governor Jared Polis’ desk awaiting his signature. The bill makes it an act of discrimination to “dead name” or misgender a person in that state. Citizens, employees, and parents could be accused and charged with discrimination for speaking truthfully. Most alarming in the measure was a provision that could lead to a child being removed from their parents’ care if the minor isn’t affirmed in their gender confusion.
Though the original wording was softened, the bill still poses real danger to families and children. Colorado follows in California’s footsteps, diminishing parents’ rights and the protection of children from gender ideologues and predators.
#8 Winners:
Florida and Friends
I love Florida. The sun, the sand, the relaxed Southern vibe. That’s not all they have going for them, though, as Governor Ron DeSantis has faithfully championed families and children during his administration. Most recently, the Sunshine State shone when DeSantis launched his Office of Parental Rights. Total winner move!
Some other bold actions by states like Arkansas, which passed several family-friendly protections and even a new school requirement to teach Human Development in the Womb, are worth noting. The ACLU fought to stop it (which could’ve easily landed them among our losers if there were not so many to choose from). Who believes students shouldn’t understand the truth about a baby’s development before birth?
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed legislation protecting free speech for schools, so woke rules about pronouns and misgendering are officially gutted in the Volunteer State. Meanwhile, Texas recently embraced school choice, and Georgia protects girls’ spaces and sports. There are too many winners to list, but good things are happening in Kentucky, Indiana, and so many more. Winners all.
#8 Losers:
Columbia University
They’re not alone in their guilt of encouraging and facilitating antisemitism on their campus. Still, they have distinguished themselves as one of the worst. The pro-Hamas protests have been well documented. Just to clarify, Hamas is a terrorist group that committed the largest slaughter of Jewish people since the Holocaust. Hamas is lauded on campuses like Columbia, which gives that school a prominent place on our list of losers.
The Anti-Defamation League has an online report card grading colleges on their antisemitism. Columbia currently holds a “D,” while other notable losers (all with an “F”) are DePaul University, Loyola University, Evergreen State College, Haverford College, Pitzer College, Pomona College, Portland State University, Scripps College, The New School (New York), and The University of Illinois, Chicago.2
#7 Winners:
American Women
To be a woman in our nation over the last four years has been fraught with insult, confusion, and unfairness. Whereas the left used to see itself as women’s champions, promoting sexual freedom and abortion (see second wave feminism). Somehow this advocacy for women’s empowerment came to a screeching halt in favor of a new – and ugly- woke-inspired era, with the definition of the very word “woman” in question. Men were ushered into women’s spaces as they put on heels, wigs, and insultingly mocked womanhood.
It’s a new day for us. President Trump has given women a solid win by declaring only two genders in America, and protections for women’s spaces and sports. There is plenty of pushback from the other side, but women are winning again.
#7 Losers:
Singing Protesters & Tesla Terrorists
We couldn’t pick just one loser here, because there were so many. My personal nod goes to those who key, spray paint, or firebomb Teslas as the vehicles’ many cameras capture every move, including the goofy facial expressions of those oblivious to the fact that they are being filmed. These are the same liberal activists who screamed about the need for climate-friendly electric vehicles- now no longer concerned about global warming as they try to take down a company that championed their cause. Apparently, climate’s not as big a deal as we were told.
The whole singing thing. Yikes. It’s brought 60s protesters out of retirement to dust off the old tunes, giving them a DOGE twist. Is this what Trump derangement has come to?
#6 Winners:
Common Sense
Welcome back, old friend.
We were told men could have babies. We were pressured to call men women, though visual evidence didn’t agree. We were told the world would end in five years and that weather events like hurricanes were man-caused. We knew it was hogwash, and science supported our views, but common sense had been secretly banned from public spaces.
Now, we can say aloud that masks don’t work. We can define what a woman is (female human). We can stand against pornography in public schools. Because…it makes sense.
We can even acknowledge what we already knew about the previous presidency – that someone was running the nation – but it may not have been the President.
Truth, logic, and horse sense are coming back. Yes, please!
#6 Losers:
The AOC/Bernie Oligarch Show
It’s been entertaining to experience the hypocrisy and nonsensical rhetoric coming from Democratic politicians. They are against saving taxpayer dollars (DOGE). They are against fair trade through Trump’s tariff strategy. They are against parents’ rights, against tax breaks for Americans. So, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and socialist Senator Bernie Sanders had a “Fighting Oligarchy” tour to decry the power of billionaires in government.
Laughably, the anti-rich effort revealed the team using private jets for the 16-city tour. Power the Future issued a press release accusing them of climate crimes, which equated to “Burning 62,600 pounds of coal, Driving a gas-powered SUV 150,000 miles, Powering every home in Sanders’s hometown of Burlington, VT for weeks [and] Powering 9 U.S. homes for a full year.”3 Quite the offense for climate alarmists like Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez.
#5 Winners:
American Patriotism
Hello Gulf of America!
We missed you, Mt. McKinley.
It’s back in style to be proud of our nation. The Declaration of Independence hangs proudly in the Oval Office, new flagpoles will flank the White House, and President Trump is bringing back pride in our nation, heritage, and people.
Once he signed the executive order on inauguration day, “Restoring Names that Honor American Greatness,” we were off to the races. Trump then took action to begin plans for “Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday”, and on March 27th began an effort called “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.”
Our military stands proud once again with recruitment at record highs after the dismal slump during the Biden/Harris years. It’s a return to the grateful and grand spirit of patriotism many of us remember from many years ago.
God bless America – Patriotism is on the winner’s list for sure!
#5 Losers:
DEI, Salt Lake City, and Boise
While they aren’t going down without a fight, the government is widely defunding DEI. We were spending north of a billion on DEI programs, departments, and university and K-12 education initiatives. That’s not to mention the millions that funded departments throughout the hundreds of government agencies. Additionally, more than $85 million supported DEI initiatives within the military. These are done. The American taxpayer no longer has to foot the bill for this destructive propaganda.
President Trump offered clarity to the nation by signing an executive order recognizing only two biological genders in America.
Still fighting for the gender craze, though, are Salt Lake City, Utah, and Boise, Idaho, whose city councils adopted LGBTQ pride flags as “official” city flags to get past laws prohibiting non-official flags from being flown. Sneaky, and it earned those two cities this spot on our loser list!
#4 Winners:
Moms in America
We’re no longer degraded with the term “birthing person.”
We are moms and are recognized again for our powerful voices and the influence we wield. Moms were critical to President Trump’s landslide win and have helped usher in this new Golden Era.
Moms for America Founder and President Kimberly Fletcher recently spoke about the power of moms in 2025. “I think the power of moms is the movement in and of itself. Moms are being connected. They didn’t realize what was happening, but now they know and are a force to be reckoned with.”
#4 Losers:
USAID
Do we need to explain this one? We shared much of the craziness in our blog on DOGE’s work. It was shocking to learn that this organization with the word “aid” embedded in its name was dropping millions worldwide on the most outlandish causes.
Transgender opera in Colombia, $50 million in condoms for Gaza, Sesame Street in Iraq. You can’t make this stuff up. But, as Americans, we were paying for it. God bless DOGE.
#3 Winners:
New Media
It’s a new day, and as mainstream and traditional media hammered the final nails in their own coffins during election season, Americans have had enough of the deception, arrogance, and outright lies perpetuated on network and cable news.
Podcast personalities like Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, and Megyn Kelly now lead the narrative with honest, uncensored conversation. New media outlets like Daily Wire, the Tucker Carlson Network, Blaze, Epoch Times, and even Babylon Bee have carved out a spot, giving the “big boys” more than a run for their money.
Social media rules the day, and Gen Z has no connection to “nightly news” on television. These winners are champions of free speech and shine a light on decades of deception.
#3 Losers:
Gender Ideologues
Despite efforts by the Trump team, these abusers are still out there, with states like California and Colorado trying to hang on to the predatory practices of gender ideology. They want graphic pornography in schools. They want kids to choose their gender, and parents to be neutralized in their lives. They want youth to have access to “gender affirming care,” which poses the very real threat of life-long health challenges and sterilization of its young victims. Planned Parenthood profits as the second largest provider of this “care” giving puberty blockers and hormone therapies to minors.4
In my view, everyone involved or promoting this is guilty of child abuse and has earned a prominent place on this list of losers!
#2 Winners:
Religious Freedom
President Trump has championed a return to the faith of our fathers. He has championed religious freedom, first by reinstating the White House Faith Office, and this month by creating a Religious Liberty Commission.
We shared more about this faith revolution in a previous blog. We are thankful that citizens enjoy more freedom to practice their religion, whether they proclaim Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, or have no faith.
#2 Losers:
Activist Judges
You know who you are. You seem to think that your opinion matters more than the voters of this great nation. For the last few months, you’ve been throwing pretty much everything you can think of to block deportation of criminals and DOGE’s work uncovering fraud in our government.
Most of your activist actions are being overturned. Yet, you still contend that you should have more power than the Executive Branch. Nope.
You are worthy of the #2 spot on the loser’s list.
#1 Losers:
The Mainstream Media
They have been lying, editing interviews to favor a political view, and deceiving their viewers for a long time. As we mentioned when we lauded new media’s rise, they are a dying breed. It’s been amazing to see the networks and cable news outlets like MSNBC, ABC, and the rest of the gang try to gather themselves following Trump’s victory. It’s been a little sad. They are caught repeatedly speaking directly from Democratic talking points, which they’ve done for years – only now the American people are wise to the grift.
The mainstream, traditional media tops our list of losers. Can the ship turn? It depends. If they want to return to trustworthy journalism, they might have a chance, but given their reporting thus far in 2025, it looks like old habits are too hard to break.
Now, the #1 Winners during Trump’s First 100 Days:
The American People
America is roaring back, and its citizens will reap the rewards of this new era. Despite attempts to convince Americans that doom is coming, all evidence points to a renaissance of culture, economics, strength, health, faith, and prosperity.
Congratulations – you and your family are the ultimate winners in 2025!
