CNN’s Senior Data Reporter, Harry Enten, delivered unwelcome news to Democrats who rage against President Trump and call him a “king.” According to a recent poll, a majority of Americans disagree.
Further, for those worried Trump’s second term would be as a “lame duck” Enten said far from that, Trump is “a soaring eagle.”
Harry Enten: I think there was this concern among some folks that Donald Trump would come in for a second term and be a lame duck. He ain’t no lame duck. If anything, he’s a soaring eagle.
What am I talking about here? Let’s talk about Trump executive orders in 2025. He’s already signed 111 so far. That is the most at this point in a presidency in at least 100 years. In fact, it’s the most in any single year. We’re only in April since Harry S. Truman in the early 1950s.
The bottom line is whether you like Trump or you don’t like him, you can’t say that he’s coming and not try to deliver on what he at least believes was his promises on the campaign trail, and he’s doing so in historic fashion.
Kate Bolduan: How are people reacting to and feel about Trump’s approach?
Harry Enten: Yeah, okay. So Trump’s approach here, what are we talking about? Trump’s approach to presidential power. I think the American people recognize what he’s doing here is completely different. We’re talking, get this, 86% of the American public believes that Trump’s approach to presidential power is completely different from past presidents, compared to only 14% who believe it is in line with precedent. We’re talking about at least 79% of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans.
So again, you can agree or you can disagree with Donald Trump, but what you can’t disagree with is that he’s doing things very differently. I have used the Frank Sinatra quote before. He is doing it “my way,” and that is what Donald Trump has done throughout both of his presidential terms, and he’s certainly doing that, Kate Baldwin, in term number two.
Kate Bolduan: Completely differently, clearly they agree, but take it a step further. Do people think he has too much? He’s taken too much power.
Harry Enten: Yeah, this, I think, is the real question. You can believe that he’s doing stuff completely differently, but do you think that he has a little too much power or not? This is interesting. Trump’s presidential power is too much, the right amount, too little.
Well, 47% say too much, but then you get 36% who say the right amount, then you get 17% who say too little.
You’re essentially dealing with a majority of the American public, 53%, who do not say that Trump has too much power.
They either say he has too little power or the right amount of power. The idea that argument that Donald Trump is a king, that I don’t think holds with the American people.
It does hold maybe with 47%, but with the majority of folks, they believe Donald Trump is doing something completely differently, and they don’t believe he has too much power.
The executive orders he signed certainly suggests he’s no lame duck. He is, as I said at the beginning a soaring eagle.
Watch:
Trump’s going for history & redefining the presidency: “he ain’t no lame duck… He’s a soaring eagle!”
