The Trump administration exudes common sense:
- In his second inaugural address, Donald Trump proclaimed “the revolution of common sense.”
- He then signed an Executive Orders restoring common sense to Federal procurement and common sense to education reform.
- White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt then said, “Everything in President Trump’s agenda is grounded in one thing: common sense.”
- Mentions of “common sense” in Fox News quadrupled in January 2025 over January 2024.
- When asked how he knew that DEI caused a plane crash, Trump explained, “Because I have common sense,” Trump said, “and, unfortunately, a lot of people don’t.”
- Regarding the plane crash, Leavitt said that it was “common sense” that Americans would care more about “landing safely” than their pilot’s race.
- For Leavitt, it’s all about comment sense: cutting Medicaid is “common sense,” restricting voting is “common sense,” the big, beautiful bill ends numerous tax breaks for elites, while advancing other “common-sense” priorities, but Democrats oppose “common sense” solutions.
Puzzled, I called Karoline Leavitt.
Clifford: I am aware that common sense has replaced the rule of law in America. Can you explain how the Trump administration identifies common sense?
Leavitt: It’s easy. We use common sense.
C: You use common sense to identify common sense. Do you then use more common sense to recognize the common sense used to recognize common sense?”
L: Yes. This administration has a huge surplus of common sense.
C: Does Trump use common sense when he raises tariffs and then lowers tariffs and then raises tariffs?
L: No. That is genius, the art of the deal. Trump is playing five-dimensional chess, while Macron and Xi are playing checkers.
C: Is attacking Harvard common sense?
L: No, that is building the economy. As I told Sean Hannity, “America needs educating the next generation based on skills that we need in our economy and our society…apprenticeships, electricians, plumbers — we need more of those in our country and less LGTBQ graduate majors from Harvard University, and that’s what is this administration’s position.”
C: Is it common sense when you said, The big, beautiful bill “saves $1.6 trillion according to the Council of Economic Advisers, and the analysis is what the president believes,” even though the deficit will grow to $2.4 trillion over the next decade, according to an analysis released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
L: The President said it. Therefore, it’s common sense and above the law.
C: When buyers of $TRUMP meme spent $148 million to have dinner with President Trump, you saw no conflict of interest because, “the president is attending in his personal time.” When questioned, you answered, I think it’s frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit.” Were you employing irony or common sense?
L: Common sense, of course. What is irony?
C: You have said:
Are fighting law and order and making government more efficient common sense?
L: It is common sense for you to shut your mouth, unless you want to be deposited in the Terrorism Confinement Center, a maximum-security prison in Tecoluca, El Salvador. No more questions!
