Which is why it is a bit of a surprise to see the Post’s editorial board print a Friday opinion piece that actually reflects reality and not just progressive propaganda. President Donald Trump is on an epic winning streak, they admit, and 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 (R-North Carolina), who opted to retire after deciding to oppose the president’s tax bill.

How Trump plans to avoid becoming a lame duck, the Editorial Board writes. https://t.co/stoIS0N0Z9

It’s something we at RedState have been noting all along, and the Post is apparently just catching up on.
