At Mar-a-Lago, President Donald J. Trump signed three new executive orders, but let’s be honest—the real entertainment came from his absolutely popcorn-worthy press conference.
If you’ve been following the Trump administration’s latest efforts to slash wasteful spending, you already know that Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have been keeping the media, the political class, and the D.C. elite in a state of constant panic. Trump promised to cut through the bureaucratic bloat, and while it didn’t happen exactly on his original timeline, he brought the receipts.
And let’s just say, the media was not ready.
Here’s the thing: If there’s one lesson the press should have learned by now, it’s that Trump owns them. He knows their tactics, he predicts their gotcha questions before they even ask them, and he shuts them down with ease. And yet, they still show up thinking this time will be different.
🚨 President Trump has signed three more Executive Orders:
1) Lowering costs of IVF and other fertility treatments.
2) Imposing radical transparency requirements on government agencies.
3) Establishing oversight functions to supervise independent agencies and their actions. pic.twitter.com/V51BuijMKO— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) February 18, 2025
CBS found that out the hard way. After Musk and DOGE exposed that millions of deceased Americans were still listed as receiving Social Security benefits, CBS tried to spin it. Instead of addressing the actual fraud, they had the audacity to claim that too much press freedom caused the Holocaust. (No, really—that happened.) It’s almost as if they’re not sending their best.
And then there was the Associated Press—the latest media outlet to lose its White House access. Their offense? Refusing to acknowledge the Gulf of America (a Trump-backed rebranding of the Gulf of Mexico), so the doors remain closed.
“That’s the way life works,” Trump said, shrugging. Simple as that.
If it weren’t for Musk and DOGE, Americans wouldn’t even have solid numbers on the millions of people who are dead but somehow still receiving government checks. That’s right—fraud on a scale so massive, it makes you wonder how long this has been going on unchecked.
WOW: Donald Trump BROUGHT THE RECEIPTS to take down a reporter’s question about Elon Musk and DOGE.
This is incredible.

The media’s response? Ignore the fraud. Attack Trump. Attack Musk. Pretend it’s all a conspiracy.
But the reality is, DOGE isn’t just an efficiency project—it’s an accountability project. And that terrifies the establishment.
