Liberal tears have been flowing nonstop since Donald Trump’s landslide victory over Kamala Harris last week. Not only did Trump crush Harris in the Electoral College, but he also pulled off the ultimate flex by winning the popular vote—a rare double that’s sent the left into a collective meltdown.
But if liberals thought the election results were hard to swallow, Trump’s first major personnel decision was a full-blown gut punch. The announcement that Rep. Matt Gaetz would be his pick for attorney general hit like a political earthquake. The left hasn’t just lost their minds—they’ve gone nuclear.
And here’s the twist that’s sent Twitter into overdrive: Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, who’s not exactly known for his subtlety, had the most surprising reaction. “I mean, I would describe it as god-tier level trolling,” Fetterman said, likening the move to a strategic chess play that will keep the left “triggered… in perpetuity.” Even Elon Musk chimed in, calling Fetterman’s take “amazing” with a laughing emoji for good measure.
If Gaetz’s nomination is a troll, it’s the kind that strikes fear into the heart of every progressive. His name alone is enough to send the liberal media into convulsions. But Gaetz as attorney general? That’s a different ball game altogether.
The Democrats are already pulling their hair out over this one. Sen. Chris Murphy from Connecticut wasted no time denouncing Gaetz as “dangerously unqualified,” accusing him of being Trump’s ultimate enabler and a threat to democracy. Murphy’s rant sounded more like a Twitter thread than a serious critique, complete with phrases like “red alert moment for American democracy” and “persecute Trump’s political enemies.” The drama is palpable.
Let’s be clear: the left’s real problem with Gaetz isn’t his qualifications or any recycled allegations from his past. It’s his loyalty to Trump and his unapologetic defense of conservative principles. The Democrats see Gaetz as a direct threat to their weaponization of the Department of Justice, and that terrifies them.
As expected, Gaetz resigned from the House just before a scheduled vote on releasing a House Ethics Committee report into accusations against him. With his resignation, the investigation ends. For Democrats, it’s another loss in a week that’s been nothing but bad news.
What’s driving the left over the edge isn’t just Gaetz’s nomination; it’s the sheer audacity of it. Trump is proving, yet again, that he’s not here to play by their rules. Gaetz represents the swamp-draining mission that Trump supporters voted for, and his appointment sends an unmistakable message: the days of a politically weaponized DOJ are over.
Republicans now control the presidency, the Senate, and the House. This election wasn’t just a rejection of Kamala Harris and her inept leadership—it was a referendum on the Democratic Party’s radical policies and woke agenda. The American people have spoken, and their message is clear: enough is enough.
Trump’s selection of Gaetz is only the beginning. The left can cry, stomp their feet, and hurl every accusation they can think of, but the reality is simple: the Republicans are in charge, and Trump’s mission to make America great again is back on track. Gaetz’s nomination isn’t just a move—it’s a declaration of war against the deep state, and it’s a fight conservatives are ready to win.
