As Donald Trump prepares for a return to the White House, his rhetoric of ushering in a “golden age” for America has caught the attention of supporters and critics alike. The Guardian, a left-leaning publication, has raised alarms about the possibility of an “unrestrained imperial presidency” aligning with a “dark MAGA vision.”
For example, writing for The Guardian, David Smith argues that Trump’s use of the term “golden age” could become an “unrestrained imperial presidency.” What?
“Having risen from the political dead, the president-elect was already looking ahead to what he called the ‘golden age of America’ – a country that had just shifted sharply to the right. And at its core was the promise of Trump unleashed: a radical expansion of presidential power,” he writes.
But they didn’t complain when Biden did it. Or when Obama did it. And if Biden had promised a golden age, you know the left would have swallowed it up. So why are they mad about Trump saying it?
Interestingly, it’s not just the left that’s expressing concern over Trump’s “golden age” rhetoric. Some anti-globalist right-wing groups have voiced unease, drawing connections between Trump’s language and apocalyptic or antichrist themes. This reaction demonstrates the power of political rhetoric to stir deep-seated fears and conspiracy theories across the political spectrum.
Adding fuel to the fire, Elon Musk’s use of the phrase “Novus Ordo Seclorum” in relation to Trump’s election win has sparked skepticism and fear among certain groups. While it’s important to approach such claims with a critical eye, we must also recognize the potential for misinterpretation and the spread of unfounded conspiracy theories.
What the left really means when they complain about Trump’s use of this term is that they’re scared of being proven wrong, and scared of Trump dramatically improving the country.
Why can’t they just be happy America will be successful again?
