Left in Ruins / Guest: Jeff Crouere

Obsessed with Trump, Democrats Continue Tearing Down their Own House of Cards

We are witnessing a Left in Ruins. From the moment Donald Trump descended the golden escalator to launch his political career, Jeff Crouere has been razor-sharp in diagnosing the political theater that ensued—and his latest column, Democrats Descend to Deeper Depths of Trump Despair, is a perfect example of his incisive style.

Crouere doesn’t just write; he wields language as a weapon—unflinching and unfiltered. In this piece, he lays out the relentless campaign of anti-Trump tactics: phony investigations, sham legal actions, biased media coverage, two impeachment episodes, an FBI raid, and even two assassination attempts. He weaves them into a narrative of political persecution that is as relentless as it is compelling.

What makes Crouere stand out is his pacing. He vividly contrasts the energetic, accomplishment-driven pace of the Trump administration—with 223 days packed with action—against the lethargy of the Biden era. His command of imagery—“living rent-free in the empty heads of his political enemies”—is equal parts a disdainful satire and striking metaphor.

Democrats are a Left in Ruins

Crouere’s commentary is also fearless. He doesn’t shy away from calling out high-profile figures like Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, mocking the “proof of life” tweet, or ridiculing Biden’s “autopen presidency,” complete with gaffes, crashes, and signature controversies. His words cut, but they also entertain, landing his arguments with the punch of a political satirist who knows his audience.

A native New Orleanian, Crouere brings both credibility and a local touch to national discourse. His award-winning “Ringside Politics” show, his book America’s Last Chance, and his consistent presence across multiple platforms—including radio, TV, and online media—underscore his reach and influence.

In short, Jeff Crouere is the voice of unapologetic conservatism—bold, witty, and fearless. His commentary doesn’t just inform—it provokes, entertains, and rallies. Democrats Descend to Deeper Depths of Trump Despair captures that ethos, and it’s exactly why he deserves the spotlight.

OPTIONAL Q&A:

  1. Jeff, in your column you argue Democrats are consumed by “Trump despair.” What do you mean by that phrase?
  2. You list a long series of tactics used against Trump—from impeachments to investigations to even assassination attempts. Why do you think the attacks are so relentless?
  3. How do you contrast Trump’s first 223 days back in office with the same stretch of Biden’s presidency?
  4. You wrote that Trump is “living rent-free in the empty heads of his political enemies.” Can you expand on how that obsession shapes the Democratic agenda?
  5. What role has the media played in fueling what you call “Trump despair”?
  6. You mention Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker’s “proof of life” post. Why do you see that as emblematic of the Democrats’ struggle against Trump?
  7. How does the concept of an “autopen presidency” capture Biden’s legacy in contrast with Trump’s?
  8. Looking ahead, do you think Democrats will double down on these tactics, or will the strategy ultimately backfire and strengthen Trump’s position?
