President Donald Trump has delivered a sharp policy reversal from the Obama-Biden era during his first year back in office, solving problems from border security to the economy to foreign conflicts, The Daily Signal’s Rob Bluey said on Fox Business Network.
“It sure is a different time in America,” Bluey told host Liz MacDonald on “The Evening Edit.” “We could probably extend or double or triple that list for all of the problems that Donald Trump has helped solve, and he was left a mess, as you indicated, from Barack Obama and Joe Biden.”
Bluey pointed to improvements across multiple policy areas. He’s not alone in noting the stark difference from his Democrat predecessors. Axios’ Mike Allen called Trump the “Eraser-in-Chief” for undoing the policies of former President Joe Biden.
“As Trump approaches this one-year anniversary on Jan. 20, I think the United States is much better off with him as the leader,” Bluey said. “Our country—certainly both from a domestic standpoint and foreign standpoint—is in a much better spot today than it was when Joe Biden left office.”
Border Crisis: Fixed
When MacDonald raised the contrast between the “far-left madness” of the Biden years and the relative stability under Trump, Bluey focused on border security as a prime example of policy sabotage.
“Joe Biden had the tools at his disposal to close the U.S.-Mexico border,” Bluey said, noting that federal law gave the president the authority Trump had successfully used in his first term. “On Day One, Biden wiped away all of those policies and left us with the situation we’re in now.”
Bluey also criticized Democrat governors for refusing to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
“If you want to talk about anybody who’s responsible for the chaos in our country, it’s people like [Gov.] Tim Walz in Minnesota, who, if they just cooperated with Donald Trump and enforced the law, maybe we wouldn’t have these out-of-control protests happening in Minneapolis,” he said.
Anti-Trump Media Bias
MacDonald asked Bluey about the media’s role in downplaying Trump’s achievements.
“They share a ton of blame, because Donald Trump doesn’t get the credit that he deserves,” Bluey responded, pointing to consistently negative headlines despite policy successes.
Today, Trump marks the one-year anniversary of his return to the White House on Jan. 20, 2025, the first president since Grover Cleveland to serve two nonconsecutive terms as president. Cleveland, the first Democrat elected after the Civil War, served from 1885 to 1889 and again from 1893 to 1897.
