Patriots, we need to have an honest conversation about something the mainstream media is gleefully pointing out: the federal spending numbers under Trump's second term look disturbingly similar to what we saw under the Biden regime.
Even the failing New York Times has noticed, reporting that "For Mr. Trump, the result is a set of annual government expenses that do not appear radically different on paper compared with what he inherited in January 2025."
Here's the uncomfortable truth: "Bidenflation" wasn't just about Joe Biden's disastrous policies—it was about a uniparty spending addiction that has infected Washington for decades. Republicans rightfully hammered Democrats over runaway spending and debt-driven inflation during the 2024 campaign, but now we're seeing how entrenched this beast really is.
The Deep State Spending Machine Fights Back
This isn't about Trump failing to deliver—it's about the massive, bloated federal bureaucracy that fights every attempt at real reform. While Elon Musk's DOGE initiative is working overtime to slash government waste, the administrative state has had decades to embed itself into every corner of federal spending.
The reality is that previous administrations, including establishment Republicans, allowed this monster to grow. Social Security, Medicare, defense contracts, and thousands of federal programs create a spending inertia that can't be turned around overnight—even with a president who genuinely wants to drain the swamp.
"The rallying cry against 'Bidenflation' was probably the most prolific indictment of the last Democratic administration, but the problem runs deeper than party politics—it's systemic," acknowledges The Blaze.
This is exactly why Trump needed a second term and why the MAGA movement must stay vigilant. The establishment—both Democrat AND Republican—has created a spending leviathan that benefits lobbyists, contractors, and bureaucrats at the expense of working Americans.
The question isn't whether Trump can wave a magic wand and instantly fix decades of fiscal irresponsibility. The question is whether We the People will support the long, difficult fight to actually drain this swamp—or whether we'll let the uniparty convince us that massive government spending is just "how things work."
Real change takes time, but it starts with honest conversations about who's really been feeding this inflation monster all along.
