I want it to be durable. What Trump can do with an executive order, the next president can in large part undo with an executive order. I hope there is an effort underway to persuade Congress to implement these actions into law, so that they won't be subject to the whims of the next chief executive.
I believe the progressive project has been dealt a serious blow and will not recover quickly. Millions of Americans who let leftist bullies frighten them from saying what they knew to be true -- that the emperor was sporting an outfit from the Bianca Censori Collection -- are now emboldened; millions more who just accepted the fabricated mainstream narrative are coming to understand just how deep the gaslit rabbit hole goes.
Learning that the tax you've paid for your entire working life, every single dollar, has been spent, along with millions more, entirely in the noble cause of advancing DEI in Serbia or trans-activism in Guatemala, has a way of concentrating your mind wonderfully.
We're winning. Let's keep winning. And let's pass laws the way the founders intended, to make these wins secure and lasting.

And let’s keep in mind that the Democrats could, and, by historical standards, should, flip the House in the off-year.

How long before Trump starts the next act? Nicole Shanahan has already said she will personally fund challenges to officials who vote against RFK, Jr. She created her "first meme" showing primaries everywhere. At some point, Trump has to join in and point out exactly what you've said: All his achievements can be undone by EO unless Congress-critters do their part. The mid-terms will determine whether the fraud and the waste continue.

I've heard a few GOP congressmen on Just the News say they are trying to codify Trumps EO's into law. As one of them said, it takes time, but he believes they may be able make some progress. We can only do what we can do and that's stay on them about it.

Indeed, Part 2 or Part 3 of the project needs to be a way to insure this mess doesn't happen again.
You need a *mechanism*.
Actually, multiple mechanisms. One isn't enough.
The mechanisms currently in place incentivize fraud and waste in a big way. So we need the opposite of that.
Some possibilities:
That sort of thing.

As just a start - campaign ads for the midterms are hopefully in the works (and maybe start advertising a year from now and keep the ads running combined with an aggressive voter registration effort) showing screaming and howling Democrat members of Congress and to the right side of the screen, a text scroll of all the DEI, trans, and funds to terrorist groups, etc., etc., that USAID was delivering
Narration:
"This is how Democrats have been spending your tax dollars. DEI programs, drag queen shows, a transgender opera in Latin America, millions of dollars for condoms for Hamas terrorists, and money for other terrorist groups in the Middle East (photo of terrorists in a USAID tent). Your tax money paid for all of this. (pause)
But that's not why these Democrats are angry. Democrats are angry that they got caught funding all this with your money. They were hoping you wouldn't find out.
There is a way to put a stop to this and make sure it doesn't happen again.

...FOR A CHANGE"
Other ads to concentrate on the eradication of illegal alien criminals, and unleashing the energy sector...
