What if Trump Finishes His Presidency by Easter?
At his pace, what if he accomplishes everything and more in a few months?
President Donald Trump is off to a blazing start, having accomplished more in two weeks than most administrations achieve in months or even years. At this blistering pace, what happens if he finishes his presidency by Easter?
By finished, I don’t mean that he is forced from office through impeachment or assassination, but he gets so much done in his first three months that nothing is left to do.
This year's Easter is conveniently on April 20, exactly three months after he took the oath of office and began signing executive orders to drain the swamp and make America great again.
Trump has secured America’s borders, resulting in only a smattering of border encounters compared to the deluge under Biden’s watch. Countries happily take back their citizens today, with some even sending planes to retrieve their migrating masses.
Why couldn’t the Biden administration accomplish any of this in four years? Because they chose not to.
Canada and Mexico experienced a real-life version of Donald Trump’s “The Art of the Deal.” On Saturday, Trump imposed substantial tariffs on both countries. Over the weekend, Senator Chuck Schumer made a fool of himself by lamenting the increasing prices of Corona beer and avocados for guacamole due to the tariffs.
By Monday afternoon, the tariffs were lifted as Canada and Mexico conceded, agreeing to deploy ten thousand troops along their borders with the United States. Schumer, who has shown little concern for rising food prices impacting American families over the last four years, can now enjoy his guacamole and chips in peace.
The 51 intelligence officials who knowingly and falsely claimed that Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation” have lost their security clearances and access to secure federal buildings, effectively ending their consulting, grifting, or insurrection activities. That might be the least of their worries, as prosecution looms next for some of them, at least those not previously pardoned. But if called to testify, perjury traps loom even for those pardoned.
Trump’s consiglieres, Elon Musk and DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), stopped the funding stream called USAID, an all-you-can-eat buffet for politicians, NGOs, and even terrorist organizations given a blank check to enrich themselves and their ideological causes at the expense of the American taxpayer.
Prosecutors who engaged in lawfare against Trump, his family, and January 6 protesters are now seeking new jobs and possibly criminal defense attorneys. Following orders is not a valid excuse for their actions, just as it wasn’t after World War II. The reckoning has come.
After only a few days in office, Trump turned on the water in California, cleaned up storm-ravaged North Carolina, and found housing for displaced residents there. If Trump could achieve this in days, why couldn’t Joe Biden or Gavin Newsom? Because they chose not to.
Foreign students participating in antisemitic chaos on college campuses may face deportation. An American student acting this way in many countries would be lucky to be sent home rather than jailed.
Foreign aid and domestic spending have mostly been frozen, enabling Trump and his team to audit, analyze, and reprioritize the wasteful spending of hard-working Americans' taxes, particularly in light of many families' challenges in covering their household bills. Musk’s team of autistic analysts will see things the rest of us missed.
All that remains is for Trump to assemble his Cabinet and empower them to drain the swamp, ensuring a long-overdue reckoning for those who have undermined the Constitution and the rule of law for political or personal gain.
The American people are supportive. Trump’s approval rating from Rasmussen Reports currently stands at 52%, a higher percentage of likely voters backing him now compared to Election Day last November.
If Trump maintains the pace he’s set in the first two weeks, it will resemble running a marathon at sprinting speed, completing the race in just an hour.
What if Trump drains the swamp, makes America great and healthy again, and runs out of things to do after three months? Like a student who finishes a four-hour exam in one hour, can he go home early and leave Vice President J.D. Vance in charge?
While I might be joking, Trump is advancing so swiftly that he will entirely reshape the American government and the global order, rendering what comes next truly extraordinary.
Hopefully, he will maintain his current momentum, reshaping American governance and transforming the nation into the country our Founding Fathers envisioned.

Be careful what you wish for. The largest car plant in the world is in guess where? China, and it’s the Tesla plant. Wonder why only 10% tariff on China, yet wanting to slug Canada, a long term friend, with 25%.
The elation with Trump will bring about the opposite, as it did in 2020. It’s a universal law. Trump will be humbled.
