As you gather with your loved ones this Thanksgiving, passing the turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce, I hope you take time to reflect on the many blessings God has bestowed upon our nation.

And while politics at the dinner table is typically taboo, most of us have at least one relative eager to stir the pot.

Now, I’m certainly not advocating for full-blown debate before the pumpkin pie, but if the conversation happens to shift to politics, and that friend or family member is still reeling from President Trump’s overwhelming win, don’t worry. Here are a few reasons to be thankful for the upcoming Trump Administration.

At the heart of President Trump’s MAGA movement has always been the American people. The bright thread throughout his historic 2024 campaign was promoting policies that will reverse the damage of the Biden Administration and restore America and her citizens to greatness. President Trump’s authentic rock-and-roll campaign resonated with voters weary of stale DNC talking points, and his enthusiastic message resounded far beyond what pollsters anticipated. In fact, the majority of Americans demanded his vision of change.

The transition to this new era of leadership is already off to a promising start with President Trump’s key appointments. From Susie Wiles and Russ Vought to RFK Jr., Pam Bondi, and Elise Stefanik—these individuals will bring fresh perspectives to the White House and will combine their experience and Trump-required work ethic to deliver for the American people.

One particularly exciting initiative is the newly proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. For American taxpayers, this signals a massive blow to the establishment, as DOGE will play a crucial role in dismantling the Deep State. Early reports suggest it will prioritize eliminating the most wasteful of the 438 federal agencies and sub-agencies while slashing the bloated federal workforce. Musk, the SpaceX titan, indicated that DOGE could slash the federal budget by “at least $2 trillion.” The opportunities to cut government waste and save taxpayers money is endless.

“Drill baby drill.” Energy dominance is another area where America is poised to lead again. The Trump Administration will unleash American energy and will terminate socialist Green New Deal policies, lifting their radical restrictions on our oil and gas producers. Unshackling our energy sector will immediately bring down inflation, ensuring that Americans can power their homes, cars, and factories with reliable and affordable energy. Leading this movement is incoming Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, whom The New York Times smeared as a “TV-ready evangelist for fossil fuels who lacks government experience”—a great endorsement in my book.

Families who have suffered record inflation and sky-high energy prices under the Biden-Harris Administration will soon find relief.

If your relative still isn’t feeling the Thanksgiving spirit, this final point might change his mind: the restoration of law and order. For the past four years, the Biden-Harris Administration enacted disastrous open border and soft-on-crime policies that made American men, women, and children easy targets for the most depraved. This era, marked by daily robberies, assaults, rapes, brutalization, and murders by violent criminal illegal aliens, will soon end.

“Border Czar” Tom Homan has stated that his efforts to end the migrant crisis will begin on day one in office. Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for the Trump transition team, stated that President Trump will utilize every resource “to institute the largest deportation operation of illegal criminals, drug dealers and human traffickers in American history while simultaneously lowering costs for families.”

Americans in every city and state can look forward to an administration that enforces the law and protects its citizens.

So as you enjoy your Thanksgiving feast remember to give a little grace to those around you who are still grappling with President Trump’s massive win. Let them know that real changes are coming that everyone can be thankful for, including peace through strength, abundant energy, economic prosperity, and safety and security.
