Democrats Call for ‘Bullying’ Trump as Party Implodes in Polls and Public Trust

The Democratic Party is unraveling before America’s eyes. With President Donald Trump firmly back in the White House and his Republican allies gaining momentum across the country, Democratic leaders are now openly embracing a strategy of personal attacks, bullying, and desperation to regain relevance.

At a pair of campaign-style events in South Carolina this past weekend, two of the party’s top figures — Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Maryland Governor Wes Moore — called for a more aggressive, even hostile approach to dealing with the Trump administration.

But the calls for incivility only served to confirm what millions of Americans already know: the Democrats have no message, no solutions, and no leadership. And now, they want to bully their way back into power.

Walz, who served as Kamala Harris’s running mate in her failed 2024 campaign, gave one of the more embarrassing performances of his political career during the South Carolina Democratic Convention.

As the cameras rolled and the crowd of party loyalists cheered, he declared that the time had come for Democrats to “be a little meaner.” Gone was any pretense of unity or bipartisanship.

In its place, Walz launched into a profanity-laced tirade, declaring that Trump — the sitting President of the United States — should be bullied. “When it’s an adult like Donald Trump,” Walz said, “you bully the s—- out of him.”

It was a statement that said more about the state of the Democratic Party than anything else. At a time when Americans are grappling with real challenges — rising food prices, surging energy bills, global instability, and border insecurity — one of the party’s top leaders is offering nothing but rage and rhetoric.

The Democrats aren’t running on ideas anymore. They’re running on emotion, envy, and pure political spite.

Governor Wes Moore didn’t do much better. Speaking at Congressman Jim Clyburn’s annual fish fry — a longtime gathering spot for presidential hopefuls — Moore insisted he wouldn’t be running in 2028, only to spend the rest of his remarks hinting at his national ambitions.

But like Walz, Moore’s speech was devoid of any policy substance. Instead, he bemoaned “direct assaults on our communities” by Trump, offered vague promises about “getting serious,” and failed to address the real reasons voters have fled the Democratic Party in droves.

And fled they have. According to a devastating new CNN poll released Sunday, only 16 percent of Americans view the Democratic Party as representing strong leadership — compared to 40 percent who say the same about the GOP.

When asked which party represents change to the status quo, more voters chose the Republican Party. When asked which party actually “gets things done,” more voters chose the Republican Party.

Across the board, Democrats are losing. And their response? Not to change their approach, not to reconnect with working-class voters, but to call for more profanity, more bullying, and more hatred of Trump.

If this sounds like a party in crisis, that’s because it is. The Democrats have no agenda that resonates with everyday Americans. Inflation continues to strain family budgets.

Groceries, gas, rent, and utilities are all more expensive than they were four years ago. Crime continues to surge in cities run by Democrats. The southern border is a disaster, with millions of illegal crossings and fentanyl pouring into the country.

Meanwhile, President Trump has reignited the energy sector, cut regulations, restored peace through strength, and launched a bold agenda to bring manufacturing back to American soil.

But rather than offer a compelling counter-vision, Democrats are doing what they always do when they lose: they whine, they blame, and they try to change the rules.

That’s why we’re now seeing calls for bullying the President from party officials. That’s why the media is spinning Trump’s every move as a threat to democracy while ignoring their own party’s embrace of political violence, censorship, and street-level intimidation.

The contrast could not be more striking: while Trump talks about rebuilding America, the Democrats talk about bullying him. While Republicans pass legislation, Democrats hurl insults.

Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, one of the few Democrats willing to speak with some candor, admitted on Sunday that the party has lost the trust of working people.

In a CNN interview, Dingell noted that Democrats “have to stop being against Donald Trump and start being for something.” She warned that voters care about cost of living, job security, and food prices — not identity politics and name-calling.

But her message is falling on deaf ears within her own party. Instead of building a Project 2028 focused on reform and results, Democrats are doubling down on the failures of the last decade.

They had their wake-up call years ago, when Trump first flipped Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania in 2016. They were warned again in 2020 when Biden barely held onto those same states.

And then came 2024 — a complete collapse, with Trump returning to office and Vice President J.D. Vance helping deliver a historic realignment in favor of the GOP.

But even now, Democrats refuse to admit what’s happening. They’ve lost the union halls. They’ve lost the suburbs. They’ve lost the middle class. And now, they’ve lost their minds.

In one of the more telling moments of the weekend, Walz likened Trump to a schoolyard bully. But the metaphor failed for one simple reason: bullies don’t build booming economies, bring home hostages, and renegotiate trade deals that put American workers first.

Bullies don’t slash bureaucracy and put veterans first. Bullies don’t stare down foreign tyrants and restore respect for the U.S. military. That’s not bullying — that’s leadership.

The real bully is a party that uses the FBI to target parents, censors political speech online, and demonizes half the country as “semi-fascists.”

Meanwhile, Americans are watching, and they’re not impressed. Voters see a party that’s been taken over by elites who don’t understand their lives. They see Democratic leaders focused on pronouns and climate lectures while they struggle to afford basic groceries.

They see a party more interested in TikTok trends than defending the Constitution. And they’re choosing the alternative — a Republican Party led by a president who gets results.

Trump has returned not just as a political force, but as a governing force. Under his renewed leadership, the GOP has reclaimed the mantle of change, of common sense, of strength.

Democrats can curse, scream, and shout about Trump all they want — but they cannot erase the fact that under his leadership, the country is getting stronger. And their own numbers confirm it.

The Democratic Party has become a parody of itself. Its leaders are out of ideas, out of touch, and increasingly out of control. When all they have left is foul language and wild accusations, it’s time for voters to ask: is this the party we trust with power? Or is it finally time to let them drift into the political wilderness where they clearly belong?

Trump is moving forward with policy, vision, and boldness. Democrats are stuck in a rage loop. And come 2026, voters will once again have a clear choice — between a Republican Party that delivers and a Democratic Party that bullies. The decision is obvious.
