Donald Trump has conscionable had nan champion fewer weeks of his presidency. 

No question. No argument. Period, extremity of paragraph. 

It began pinch a bold bet to nonstop pilots to destruct Iran's atomic sites. 

Then Trump managed to agent a cease-fire betwixt Israel and Iran. 

TRUMP’S ACHIEVEMENTS EMBOLDEN HIM TO BE EVEN MORE AGGRESSIVE

Meanwhile, arsenic Trump delayed his sky-high tariffs, nan banal marketplace deed grounds highs. 

And he won a $16-million colony from CBS's genitor institution successful his suit against unfair editing by "60 Minutes." That intends he has now beaten 2 of nan 3 broadcast networks, having won nan aforesaid sum from ABC successful a suit involving a important correction by George Stephanopoulos. 

And aft days of unit and arm-twisting, he managed to walk nan Big Beautiful Bill.

Make nary mistake, nan measure was ever going to pass. What were Republicans going to say, ne'er mind, we conscionable tanked nan president's main legislative privilege because we didn't for illustration this aliases that? 

They didn't request Democratic votes, nether alleged reconciliation. And Trump controls nan GOP. So its members fell into line. 

Now nan mobility is why, done this successful stretch, has Trump continued to tie specified antagonistic coverage?

TRUMP SIGNS 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL' BILL IN SWEEPING VICTORY FOR SECOND TERM AGENDA, OVERCOMING DEMS AND GOP REBELS

For starters, galore successful nan media conscionable can’t guidelines nan guy. And this has mostly been existent since 2015. So thing that helps him must beryllium incorrect and must beryllium denigrated. 

Even nan successful onslaught on Iran drew only scattered instances of grudging praise, erstwhile nether immoderate different president location would person been opinionated ovations. 

The property instantly reframed this arsenic a statement complete whether nan bunker-busting bombs had only group backmost Iran’s atomic programme by a fewer months.

In fairness, that’s what nan preliminary, classified Intel study leaked to nan property said. And there’s thing incorrect pinch reporting that accurately, moreover though nan appraisal was made pinch debased confidence. 

But Trump wants reporters for CNN and nan New York Times, which collapsed nan story, fired complete this, and pinch an FBI leak probe nether way, says he whitethorn unit journalists to uncover their confidential sources. 

Once nan White House could nary longer blasted anonymous sources, location is thing incorrect pinch quoting a authorities study – moreover if if turns retired to beryllium wrong. 

The cease-fire betwixt Israel and Iran was fine, but that quickly shape-shifted into chatter astir why Trump couldn’t propulsion disconnected an extremity to nan fighting betwixt Israel and Hamas, a acold much difficult task.

Not to mention his freezing of weapons shipments to Ukraine, erstwhile contempt his "very disappointing" telephone pinch Vladimir Putin, who promptly unleashed nan biggest drone and rocket onslaught against Kyiv since nan forbidden penetration of its sovereign neighbor. 

Perhaps nan president is learning what has been evident to nan remainder of us: Putin has nary conceivable liking successful peace. 

Everyone had to study nan banal marketplace surge, though not pinch nan enthusiasm of nan earlier plunge, and Trump yesterday announced that he’d deed Japan and South Korea, 2 allies, pinch a 25 percent hike successful tariffs. But they don’t return effect till Aug. 1, truthful this could conscionable beryllium different negotiating tactic.

There was almost nary tv sum of Trump’s $16 cardinal colony pinch Paramount, which is thing much than nan news business protecting its own. If this had been immoderate different benignant of institution – pinch nan backstory that personification for illustration Shari Redstone needed management support to waste nan institution and pouch $2 cardinal – nan property would person gone haywire. 

Now there’s a caller twist. Fox’s Charlie Gasparino, writing for nan New York Post, reported nan Paramount colony includes a broadside woody betwixt Trump and for nan purchaser David Ellison, boy of tech mogul Larry Ellison, for him to tally $15 to $20 cardinal successful advertizing supporting causes backed by nan president.

The president has besides been drawn into a warfare of words pinch Elon Musk, calling him a "train wreck" who’s gone "off nan rails" successful forming a 3rd statement and raising nan Epstein files again. Musk says nan deficiency of an Epstein customer database is nan "final straw" – he had erstwhile apologized for raising it – and there’s nary quality betwixt nan Republican and Democratic parties. 

But location was 1 moment, successful my view, that was a misstep by Trump.

The president had nary request to discuss pinch Democrats, who powerfully opposed a taxation trim tilted toward nan able while making heavy cuts to Medicaid.

"Every Democrat successful Congress voted against nan ‘Big, Beautiful Bill…They wouldn’t ballot only because they dislike Trump, but I dislike them, too, you know? I really do. I dislike them. I cannot guidelines them, because I really judge they dislike our country."
