Senate and House Democrats are literally screaming themselves blue. Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy has begun drinking, and is inviting his constituents to join in with him. Resistance media is so winded trying to cover what President Donald Trump did or said half an hour ago that they don't have the bandwidth or energy to cover what he did and said in the last five minutes.
Never Trumpers, and let's take a second and define that term of art. I mean the people out there that if Trump is for something, they are reflexively against it because of their loathing of the man. I'm not referring to those who dislike Trump immensely but are attempting to analyze each action as objectively as they can. But Never Trump, Inc. are fighting a losing battle, so many have shifted their focus a bit as of late, going after Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Kash Patel, or any potential scalp they can claim in order to enjoy at least a momentary pyrrhic victory.
Detractors of the President will look at the outlandish policy demands he makes, often times followed up with tariffs, and when Trump gets what he wanted all along in the end, still claim it's a defeat because nothing really changed, and allies got unnecessarily annoyed in the process.
What I'm going to attempt to do here, as exhaustively as I can, is list what this President and his administration have accomplished in just under three weeks on the job. Compare it at your leisure to the accomplishments of the Biden administration, which couldn't decorate a storage unit, much less a presidential library.

After one day of 25% tariffs on Mexico imports into the United States, Mexican President Gloria Sheinbaum committed to a more robust border enforcement and drug interdiction policy. In the last three days, more than 7,000 Mexican troops were re-deployed from the south to the shared border with the United States. One of the leaders of the Cartel del Noreste, El Ricky, was apprehended by Mexican authorities the day after Sheinbaum's proposal to Trump. The tariffs have been paused for 30 days to ensure Mexico's continued cooperation and newfound focus on the drug and trafficking going on. A week ago, cartels were shooting across the border at U.S. border patrol agents. Yesterday, cartels were in a shootout with Mexican authorities in pueblos near the border over the arrest of El Ricky. No further border violence on U.S. personnel has taken place since the new agreement.
Canada, also slapped with a 25% tariff, promised to return with a volley of tariffs of their own...until the Mexicans caved. By nightfall the same day bent the knee, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised to spent $1.3 billion in stepped up drug interdiction efforts in order to stop fentanyl from leaking into the United States from up north, and promised to cooperate in a joint U.S.-Canadian task force to get control of both illegal human and drug trafficking. As with Mexico, the threat of the tariffs, now suspended, hangs over Canada like a sword of Damocles to encourage their cooperation to continue.
After initially refusing a U.S. military transport plane full of Colombian nationals being repatriated to Bogata, tariffs were slapped on the South American country. In 37 minutes, the tariffs were lifted because the Colombian president, suddenly embroiled in a transgender marital infidelity scandal, agreed to let our planes land, and also offered his own aircraft to come here and pick them up.

Vice-President J.D. Vance, keeping his promise along with new EPA director Lee Zeldin, visited East Palestine, Ohio to supervise cleanup operations from the rail disaster.

And as an added kicker, in order to settle a lawsuit filed by Donald Trump, CBS's owner, Paramount, begrudgingly released the unedited interview 60 Minutes' Bill Whitaker had with former Vice-President Kamala Harris. The unedited tape shows that the program, in an attempt to help the former Veep out, edited down one of Whitaker's questions, and excised virtually all of one of her patented word salads to make her seem more coherent.
If this isn't winning, I don't know what is.
