Watching The Five rip into the usual left-wing hand-wringing over inflation while President Trump stood in Detroit celebrating a resurgence of American manufacturing was a welcome reminder that facts still matter. At his Detroit appearance the president declared an economic boom and pointed to massive investment commitments that his team says have poured into U.S. manufacturing since he returned to the White House.
This is not empty campaign rhetoric — the administration and private sector deals have real, measurable effects: plants reopening, shifts returning supply chains to American soil, and commitments from major firms to invest here at home. The White House has been cataloging onshoring agreements and multi-billion-dollar investments that directly benefit cities like Detroit and the auto workers who have been forgotten by the elites.
Meanwhile, Democrats and their media allies keep shrieking about inflation as if no progress has been made, using every price rise as a political cudgel rather than a call to honest policy debate. Even with recent easing in headline inflation reported in December, their reaction has been predictable—attack, distract, and deny that policy shifts are creating jobs and investment.
Over on The Five the hosts cut through the noise and asked the obvious question: who is actually pathetic here — the party that can only complain, or the administration that is delivering tangible investment and jobs? That frank discussion is exactly what Americans need: straight talk about who is building and who is grandstanding.
Look at the polling and reporting: voters are fed up with elites who lecture while livelihoods limp along, and they notice when factories reopen and when investment hits Main Street. The mainstream press would rather bathe in doom and gloom than highlight American workers getting back to work, and that bias is costing credibility with everyday people.
Patriots shouldn’t be ashamed to cheer success when we see it or to call out political gamesmanship for what it is. Detroit’s revival is a blueprint for renewing American industries if we keep putting country before global elites and ideology. The choice is clear: build, work, and prosper, or blame and groan while our competitors take advantage — conservatives will choose the American comeback every time.
