Why DC Elites Hate Trump: It’s Not the Action, It’s the Agenda
Trump’s America-first policies aren’t just shaking the system—they’re exposing it.
Good Morning
DC is in a meltdown, but it’s not for the reasons the media would have you believe. Glenn Greenwald just said what everyone in Washington knows but won’t admit: they’re not upset about Trump taking decisive action—they’re upset about who benefits. Spoiler alert: it’s not them.
Trump’s America-first agenda is a direct threat to the establishment’s power and priorities, and Greenwald breaks down exactly why they’re panicking. Today, we’re diving into this analysis, plus Trump’s new push to investigate Fauci, California’s anti-Trump $50M spending spree, and a visit to North Carolina that’s got hurricane victims talking.
Let’s get to it.
DC Elites Fear Trump’s Greatest Weapon: Delivering for America
Journalist Glenn Greenwald has revealed what he sees as the true source of Washington’s outrage toward President Trump. In a recent interview, Greenwald argued that the establishment isn’t upset about Trump taking decisive action—they’re furious because those actions serve the American people, not the entrenched elites. Trump’s commitment to keeping his campaign promises is a rarity in modern politics, and it’s shaking the foundations of power in DC.
Greenwald pointed to Trump’s America-first policies as a direct challenge to the system. From taking on trade deals that have long favored multinational corporations to implementing hardline immigration measures, Trump has shifted priorities away from globalist interests and back to American voters. The establishment, Greenwald argued, sees this as a threat to their influence, not to the country’s well-being.
The media has played a crucial role in this dynamic, according to Greenwald. By portraying Trump’s decisions as reckless or dangerous, they amplify the establishment’s narrative while ignoring the tangible benefits these policies deliver to working-class Americans. Greenwald believes this framing is intentional: it allows elites to protect their power under the guise of opposing Trump’s supposed unpredictability.
For Greenwald, the fury isn’t about the actions themselves—it’s about who benefits. When a president prioritizes everyday citizens over the powerful, it disrupts the system they’ve worked decades to control. Trump, Greenwald suggests, has done more than govern—he’s exposed how much of DC’s anger is rooted in fear of losing influence.
Trump’s presidency, Greenwald concludes, isn’t just a political shift; it’s a full-scale disruption of the establishment’s grip on America’s future.
Trump Pushes Investigation Into Fauci’s COVID Decisions
President Trump has called for a sweeping investigation into Dr. Anthony Fauci’s role during the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump claims Fauci misled the public on critical decisions, from lockdowns to funding for gain-of-function research. The former president has vowed to uncover what he calls “the lies” behind Fauci’s advice to the American people.
This move signals Trump’s intent to reshape the public narrative surrounding the pandemic. Critics say it’s a political ploy, while supporters argue it’s long overdue accountability. As Trump ramps up the pressure, Fauci’s legacy could face its most significant challenge yet. Read more here
California’s $50M Anti-Trump Bill Draws Backlash
California Democrats passed a $50 million initiative aimed at combating what they call “Trumpism,” funding programs to “educate” residents about “authoritarian tendencies.” In response, President Trump has blasted the state for wasting taxpayer dollars, calling it “a blatant political attack on millions of Americans.”
The initiative has drawn sharp criticism nationwide, with conservatives accusing California of ideological indoctrination. Even some moderates in the state warn that this bill could backfire, further fueling division. Will this unprecedented spending spree achieve its goals—or simply energize Trump’s base? Read more here
NC Residents Praise Trump’s Post-Hurricane Visit
Residents in hurricane-stricken North Carolina have expressed gratitude for President Trump’s visit, calling it “a big relief” after feeling ignored by prior administrations. Trump’s hands-on approach, coupled with promises of immediate aid, has drawn praise from locals who felt abandoned by federal agencies in the wake of the disaster.
This visit is emblematic of Trump’s commitment to connecting directly with voters, particularly in regions often overlooked by Washington elites. While critics dismissed it as a publicity stunt, residents on the ground saw it differently: “He showed up when we needed someone the most.” Read more here

An open letter to anyone who thinks election chaos is an accident…
I need to tell you a story.
It’s about a voter. Let’s call him John.
John is a good guy. Patriotic. Believes in the system. The kind of guy who wakes up early on election day, casts his ballot, and feels like he’s done his duty as an American.
But here’s what happened during the last election.
John went to bed confident his vote mattered. Confident that the system worked. But then, things started to unravel.
First, delays in counting. Then lawsuits. Then accusations of fraud.
The media told him to trust the process, but John couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.
And he was right.
Because what John didn’t know is that election chaos isn’t a failure of the system—it is the system.
Every delay, every accusation, every media spin—it’s all by design. Not to make elections better, but to make them chaotic. Because when you’re distracted, divided, and doubting everything, the people in power win.
This Sunday’s Fed-Up Files exposes the chaos they want you to ignore. The players behind the scenes. The systems designed to fail. And the truth about why this isn’t incompetence—it’s strategy.
This one is going to piss you off.
