It was a great week for President Trump, so naturally, it was a horrible week for leftists.
Nobel Prize Winner Maria Corina Machado Gifts Nobel Prize to President Trump
Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado presented her Nobel Peace Prize medal to President Trump during a White House visit on January 15, 2026. She honored him symbolically on behalf of the Venezuelan people for his decisive role in liberating Venezuela by capturing Nicolás Maduro.

Machado described the moment as emotional, crediting Trump with advancing freedom for Venezuelans and the broader hemisphere. Trump accepted the gift graciously, calling it a wonderful sign of mutual respect. As expected, leftists lost their minds, while the rest of us rejoice.
POTUS Sends Message of Support to Iranian People Amid Protests
Not limited to Latin America, President Trump directed his courage to the Middle East, boldly supporting the Iranian people in their uprising against the Ayatollah regime’s brutal crackdown on nationwide protests in January 2026.
He urged Iranian patriots to “KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!” and assured them that “HELP IS ON ITS WAY,” while promising that regime killers and abusers “will pay a big price.”
Trump canceled all meetings with Iranian officials until the senseless killing of protesters stops, signaling fearless backing for freedom. His statements highlighted strong U.S. solidarity with those challenging the oppressive theocracy.
Rent Prices Drop Significantly Under President Trump
In addition to foreign policy wins, President Trump is scoring major domestic victories, as his mass deportation policies through ICE have helped drive down rent prices for Americans by reducing the migrant population and increasing housing supply.

In 14 of the top 20 metro areas with large illegal migrant populations, home list prices declined year over year in December 2025. Rents dropped sharply in cities such as San Antonio and fell by nearly 1% in Minneapolis.
The White House attributes this affordability win to basic supply-and-demand dynamics, crediting deportations with easing the housing squeeze caused by prior unchecked illegal migration.
ICE Officer in Minneapolis Crash Attack Suffers Internal Bleeding
Reports this week show that ICE officer Jonathan Ross sustained internal bleeding to his torso after being intentionally struck and rammed by Renee Good’s vehicle during a January 7, 2026, confrontation in Minneapolis.
Good allegedly weaponized her SUV to attack and attempt to run over agents amid efforts to block their immigration operations. This prompted Ross to fire defensively in self-protection.
DHS officials confirmed the officer’s injuries resulted directly from the vehicle assault, which they described as an act of domestic terrorism. Vice President J.D. Vance highlighted that leftist narratives lied about the case.
Leftists Are Organizing “Rapid Response Brigades” to Mimic Minneapolis Riots
In the leftists’ perpetual failure to not be useless, the New York City Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are organizing over 4,000 “activists” into “rapid response” brigades to disrupt anticipated ICE immigration sweeps. They plan to replicate disruptive tactics from recent Minneapolis unrest, including mass swarming of agents, loud distractions, and physical obstruction.

The effort, inspired by a fatal ICE confrontation in Minneapolis, involves “training” thousands and expanding hotlines to protect illegal migrants. This reflects a broader push by psychotic leftists to spread chaos nationwide against federal enforcement.
Seriously, “rapid response” brigades. If only these freaks would dedicate their energy to something even remotely useful. They’re so pathetic, it hurts to watch.
Kamala Harris Buys Expensive Oceanfront California Property Despite Previous “Rising Sea Level” Warnings
Climate alarmist and former Vice President Kamala Harris purchased an $8.15 million seaside mansion in Malibu’s exclusive Point Dume area, directly on the Pacific coast with ocean views.
Despite her repeated warnings about rising sea levels, warming oceans, and coastal communities being on the front lines of the climate crisis, she invested heavily in this vulnerable oceanfront property.
In 2019, she stated, “Our oceans are warming. Sea levels are rising,” and in 2023 described coastal living as facing the climate crisis directly.
Critics highlight this purchase as evidence of hypocrisy, arguing that her actions contradict her condescending lectures and urgent scoldings to Americans about extreme weather and sea-level threats.
Ford Workers Applaud POTUS During Michigan Plant Visit
President Trump toured the Ford F-150 assembly plant in Dearborn, Michigan, on January 13, 2026, where workers enthusiastically cheered and applauded his arrival. Many employees welcomed him warmly, taking selfies and shaking hands as he inspected the production line.

Ford executives expressed gratitude for Trump’s supportive policies, noting the factory’s expansion to a third shift and 24/7 operations due to high demand. The visit highlighted workers’ appreciation for his efforts to revitalize American manufacturing and benefit the working class.
Florida County Renames Four Miles of Road After POTUS
Palm Beach County, Florida, renamed a four-mile stretch of Southern Boulevard “President Donald J. Trump Boulevard” to honor President Trump’s exceptional leadership, courage, and accomplishments. The section runs from Mar-a-Lago to Palm Beach International Airport, with the ceremonial unveiling held on January 16, 2026, at Mar-a-Lago.
Sponsored by Rep. Meg Weinberger, the change serves as a permanent reminder of Trump’s unapologetic patriotism and strong presidencies. Trump said he was tremendously honored by the gesture from Florida residents. God Bless President Trump, and God Bless America!
Venezuelans Chant “Thank You Trump!” for Taking Out Maduro
Venezuelans and Venezuelan-Americans gathered outside the White House on January 12, 2026, chanting “Thank You, Trump!” to celebrate President Donald Trump’s courageous leadership in approving a U.S. Delta Force mission that arrested and deposed dictator Nicolás Maduro on January 3.
They expressed profound gratitude for his decisive action in ending more than a decade of terror, restoring national dignity lost to a criminal drug-trafficking regime, and paving the way for democratic elections.

Attendees, including former political prisoners, highlighted Trump’s role in liberating Venezuela from Maduro’s oppressive rule and called for the release of remaining political prisoners.
Spontaneous celebrations erupted worldwide among the Venezuelan diaspora, with polls showing overwhelming support—79% in Venezuela and up to 92% expressing gratitude to Trump for deposing the dictator.
These jubilant crowds also mocked leftists for staging pro-Maduro protests and claiming to speak for Venezuelans. Leftists are embarrassing themselves, but because they are “living their truths” and blocking out reality, they might not even realize the world is laughing at them.
God Bless President Trump, and God Bless America!
