Trump Resurrects Lincoln’s Legacy—And Liberals Are Losing Their Minds

July 30, 2025 – Washington, D.C.

At 7:01 AM sharp, without a single word of commentary, President Donald J. Trump posted something that instantly shattered the silence of another summer morning: a black-and-white photo of Abraham Lincoln paired with a bold declaration that’s now ricocheting across the media and setting the political world ablaze.

“Declare martial law. Arrest the sanctuary city mayors. Replace them with military governors. Restore order—like Lincoln did,” the caption read.

Trump didn’t say it. He reposted it.

And with that, a digital war trumpet was sounded.

The post originated from a user named “Extremely Stable Genius” on Truth Social, Trump’s favorite online battleground. The image and caption drew a direct line between President Abraham Lincoln’s bold actions during the Civil War and modern-day tensions between federal authority and so-called “sanctuary cities” that refuse to comply with immigration enforcement.

To the liberal media, this was an outrage. To Trump’s loyal base, it was the sign they had been waiting for.


The Real Message: “Lawlessness Has Gone Too Far”

For years, cities like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco have proudly worn the label of “sanctuary” jurisdictions—refusing to cooperate with ICE, releasing dangerous criminals, and defying federal mandates with smug political theater. While career politicians turned a blind eye to rising crime and open borders, ordinary Americans paid the price.

Trump’s repost didn’t come out of nowhere—it was a direct response to lawlessness, border chaos, and bureaucratic betrayal. His supporters see it as a call to arms—not for violence, but for courage.

“This is what leadership looks like,” wrote one commenter. “Lincoln didn’t wait for permission. Neither should Trump.”


Lincoln Did It. Why Not Trump?

History matters. And so does precedent.

During the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln took bold, even radical, action to preserve the Union. He suspended habeas corpus. He ordered arrests of pro-secession governors. He imposed martial law where rebellion was rife. And he saved the nation.

The post Trump shared points to that legacy—and dares today’s America to wake up. It draws a clear line: If sanctuary cities are openly defying federal law, harboring illegals, and endangering citizens, then maybe it’s time to remember what presidents used to do when local leaders chose rebellion over responsibility.


Media Panic = Mission Accomplished

The mainstream media reacted with all the predictability of a broken record. CNN, MSNBC, and the usual suspects sounded the alarm: “Trump is inciting dictatorship!” “Trump wants martial law!” “Trump is threatening democracy!”

But here’s the truth: Trump didn’t say anything. He reposted. That’s it.

The panic says more about them than about him. They fear strong leadership. They fear consequences. They fear a president who refuses to play by the swamp’s rules.

And more than anything—they fear Trump 2028.


A Message Heard Loud and Clear

Since the post went live, Truth Social has been flooded with messages of support.

Veterans. Law enforcement. Small business owners. Border town residents. All echoing one thought:

Enough is enough.

“Trump’s reminding us that the rule of law isn’t optional,” one Arizona rancher posted. “These cities are out of control. We’ve tried asking nicely. Time to act.”

Others referenced the rising calls for federal accountability and control in areas where crime, drug trafficking, and political corruption run rampant.


What’s Next?

Will Trump declare martial law? Almost certainly not. But that’s not the point.

The post was a shot across the bow. It reminded America that our greatest presidents were not timid. They acted boldly when the Republic was threatened. And Trump—whether the elites like it or not—just signaled he’s willing to act just as boldly if necessary.

If anything, this latest media firestorm has only made Trump stronger. His critics are in a frenzy. His supporters are more energized than ever. And the message is crystal clear:

Trump is done waiting.

2028 is just the beginning.
