The first 100 days of Trump’s return have been a nonstop barrage of chaos, cruelty, and stupidity. And right there, watching it happen with a smug grin and a thumbs-up, is Congressman Michael Baumgartner. Let’s be clear: none of this is just Trump. Baumgartner is choosing this. He is letting it happen. He is part of it.
Trump is signing executive orders like confetti. He’s shredding regulations, gutting civil rights, and firing scientists and public workers by the thousands. And Baumgartner? He applauds it. He calls it “efficiency.” He isn’t worried about government collapse. He’s rooting for it.
Immigrants are being rounded up, detained indefinitely, and even sent to concentration camps in El Salvador. Birthright citizenship is under attack. This isn’t law and order. It’s fascism in a red tie. And Baumgartner is smirking and nodding along like it’s just another town hall. He has the power to push back. He won’t. Because he likes it.
The economy is wobbling from Trump’s 145 percent tariffs. Small businesses are choking. Farmers are getting crushed. Regular Americans are paying the price. Baumgartner, the so-called free market guy, says nothing. His loyalty is to Trump. His district is an afterthought.
Globally, the U.S. is a laughingstock. NATO is unraveling. Allies are bailing. Trump is gutting diplomacy. What does Baumgartner do? He attacks Ukraine. He calls for Zelenskyy to resign. He copies whatever garbage Trump throws out. He’s not thinking. He’s echoing.
Here’s the truth: Baumgartner isn’t confused. He’s not being dragged along. He wants this. He chose this. And he’s proud of it.
He’s supposed to represent the people of Washington. Instead, he represents Trump’s ego. He doesn’t defend democracy. He doesn’t question overreach. He doesn’t care if institutions collapse, as long as he’s close to power.
People are protesting. Constituents are speaking out. Baumgartner shrugs. To him, outrage is just noise. He doesn’t see voters. He sees obstacles.
This isn’t just Trump’s America. It’s Baumgartner’s too. Trump may be behind the wheel, but Baumgartner is sitting in the front seat cheering him on.
He owns this mess. He should be held accountable for every part of it.
