Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) recently appeared on CNN’s “The Arena” and made inflammatory comments about President Donald Trump, calling him a “tyrant” and urging Democrats to “take on” him (Breitbart). However, Trump is not a tyrant; he is a strong leader fighting for the American people against the deep state and bureaucratic abuse.

Key Event: Merkley’s Call to Action
On CNN’s “The Arena,” Merkley stated, “You don’t stop a bully by giving over your lunch money and you don’t stop tyrant Trump by voting to give him more power. That is absolutely the wrong approach.” He also claimed that in a government shutdown, Trump might have more power than in previous shutdowns. Merkley argued that Democrats should use their leverage to negotiate and prevent giving Trump more authority.
“You don’t stop a bully by handing them your lunch money. And you don’t stop a tyrant by handing them more power.” — @JeffMerkley, 23:27 2025-03-13 EDT
Trump’s Role: Draining the Swamp
Trump has consistently worked to drain the swamp and expose the deep state. His administration has cut bureaucratic red tape, reduced government waste, and implemented tax cuts to stimulate the economy. For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 lowered taxes for individuals and businesses, leading to economic growth and job creation (IRS).

Deep State Angle: Undermining Trump’s Presidency
The deep state has attempted to undermine Trump’s presidency through leaks, investigations, and resistance from within the government. The FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation and the Mueller probe are prime examples of deep state overreach. These actions were politically motivated and aimed at delegitimizing Trump’s presidency (Department of Justice).
