Ed Morrissey: Trump's Secret: He Does What He Says

“Let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no,” the apostle James wrote to the church in Jerusalem. Too often, politicians forget this simple wisdom.

Donald Trump is not among them.

The lesson of Trump’s second term is that he rarely bluffs when it counts, and we have seen results in recent weeks in every arena. He warned Academia that he would enforce the law and Supreme Court decisions on civil rights and DEI, and Harvard has learned the hard way that he was serious.

Trump ran for a second term on a promise to seal the border and take care of the problem of illegal immigration. He’s made terrific progress on doing just that.

And, most explosively, he told Iran they could not have nuclear weapons. He said—and I quote: We can “blow them up nicely or blow them up brutally.”

They should have listened.

The secret of Trump’s appeal is clear to see. Voters elected Trump to do what he promised.

And that’s exactly what Trump does.
