For years, Americans have watched as the mainstream media twisted itself into knots to avoid acknowledging conservative policy successes. But something remarkable is happening across the media landscape—reality is becoming impossible to ignore. Even the most stubborn critics are being forced to confront uncomfortable truths about who’s actually delivering results for the American people.
The shift is subtle but unmistakable. From network news rooms to cable commentary desks, a new tone is emerging. One that finally admits what millions of Americans already know. The old narratives are crumbling under the weight of hard data. And the establishment’s grip on public perception? It’s slipping fast.
Now comes perhaps the most stunning admission yet: CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten has declared President Trump “the most influential president of this century.” I nearly spit out my coffee when I read that. Yes, you read it right—CNN, the network that spent years attacking Trump, is now forced to acknowledge his huge impact on America. As Enten put it bluntly, “Love it, like it, lump it. Trump is remaking the United States of America.”
From ‘The Post Millennial’:
CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said President Donald Trump’s administration is “the most influential this century” and potentially dating back “a good portion of the last century,” citing sweeping changes in tariffs, immigration, and executive action…
“In my mind, Donald Trump is the most influential President of this century and probably dating back a good portion of last century,” Enten concluded after highlighting these political topics. “It truly is history-making.”
CNN: “The Donald Trump administration is arguably the most influential this century, and probably as well dating back a good portion of the last century as well.”

Historic Policy Achievements
Let that sink in for a moment. CNN is admitting what we’ve known all along. And the numbers backing up this admission? They’re absolutely staggering.
Trump’s effective tariff rate has soared to 18 percent—the highest level since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration in the 1930s. Think about that. We’re talking about a nine-fold increase from just 2 percent one year ago. This isn’t some minor policy tweak. It’s a complete overhaul that’s protecting American workers and bringing jobs back home. Try spinning those numbers, media.
But wait, there’s more. The president has signed 180 executive orders so far this year alone. Biden? He managed just 77 during his entire first year in office. This isn’t pointless paperwork either. These orders are delivering real results on issues that matter to American families. From securing the border to fighting the fentanyl crisis that’s killing our kids.
Securing America’s Borders
Perhaps nowhere is Trump’s influence more obvious than at our southern border. And boy, do the numbers tell a story the media can’t ignore anymore.
Net migration to the United States has plummeted by at least 60 percent from last year’s levels. Even more remarkable? Enten noted that America could see negative net migration for the first time in 50 years. We’re talking about a complete reversal from the 2.8 million migrants recorded in 2024. Remember when they said this was impossible?
This dramatic turnaround didn’t happen by accident. It’s what happens when you actually enforce the law. When Canada refused to help stop fentanyl from flooding our streets, Trump didn’t mess around. He raised their tariff rate from 25 to 35 percent. Message sent. Message received. America will no longer tolerate neighbors who put our citizens at risk.
The historical parallels are impossible to ignore. Not since FDR has a president used executive power this effectively. But here’s the key difference—and it’s a big one. Unlike the New Deal’s expansion of government control, Trump’s actions are restoring American sovereignty. He’s protecting our workers. He’s securing our borders. This is what conservative principles look like in action.
Key Takeaways
- CNN admits Trump is the most influential president this century
- Immigration down 60%, first negative migration in 50 years possible
- Tariffs at 18%, highest since FDR’s administration
- 180 executive orders signed, dwarfing Biden’s first-year total
