Oh, Hakeem. You really thought you had something there, didn’t you? House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has attempted what every Democrat before him has failed to do—land a sick burn on Donald Trump with a new nickname. And just like every other time, it backfired spectacularly.
Jeffries took to X (formerly Twitter) in a dramatic, hand-waving video to announce that Trump was now “Captain Chaos.” That’s right, folks. This is the best they’ve got. After nearly a decade of trying to take down Trump, after two impeachments, countless investigations, and a media smear campaign unlike anything we’ve ever seen, the DNC’s brightest star sat down, brainstormed, and decided that Captain Chaos was the one that would finally take him down.
Except, just like Cocaine Mitch before it, the nickname is already being embraced by Trump supporters. Because, let’s be honest, Captain Chaos actually sounds cool. You can practically see the action movie poster now: Trump standing atop a burning Capitol Hill, the American flag billowing behind him as he drains the swamp, while the left screams in horror. It’s the kind of nickname a populist movement wants. Jeffries might as well have called him General Mayhem or The Disruptor. The left still doesn’t understand that the people who support Trump like that he shakes things up. They want chaos—at least the kind that dismantles the bureaucratic machine that’s been strangling America for decades.
Even New York City Councilwoman Vicki Paladino had to point out the obvious: “Why do they insist on making him sound cool?” Great question, Vicki. Maybe Democrats should take a moment to reflect on the fact that their biggest political enemy keeps turning their insults into rallying cries while their own nicknames—like Sleepy Joe—stick to their candidates like glue.
But Jeffries didn’t stop there. He also tried to claim that the high cost of living in America was somehow Trump’s fault… after one month back in office. Yes, the same inflation that skyrocketed under Biden’s endless spending sprees, the same economic disaster that had Americans paying double for groceries and gas, the same job-killing policies that tanked small businesses—that was all apparently caused by Trump in a matter of weeks. Sure, Hakeem. And next, he’ll probably try to blame him for climate change, too.
Far right extremists are trying to crush the American dream.

Let’s also talk about the real reason Jeffries and his pals are suddenly obsessed with “Project 2025.” They spent the last year pretending it didn’t exist, dismissing it as a fever dream of conservative think tanks. Now, suddenly, they can’t stop talking about it because they realize it’s working. Trump’s agenda is being taken seriously, people are reading the policy plans, and the left is panicking because they know they can’t stop it. So now, they’re trying to turn it into a boogeyman. The problem? The more they whine about it, the more people start looking into it and realizing that, actually, it sounds like a solid plan to fix America.
People aren’t buying what the Democrats are selling…they haven’t been for a while now:

The bottom line? Jeffries’ little stunt didn’t land. It won’t land. Just like Cocaine Mitch before it, Captain Chaos is already being reclaimed, and the left is once again proving that they’ve learned absolutely nothing about how Trump and his supporters operate. Thanks for playing, Hakeem. Better luck next time.
