Democrats have shifted their narrative from labeling Donald Trump a threat to democracy to claiming there is a constitutional crisis. The phrase is now invoked when Trump appoints individuals tasked with identifying inefficiencies within government. Many voters, however, do not perceive this as a crisis, as Trump's approval ratings remain robust, particularly among younger demographics. The ongoing partisan rhetoric suggests Democrats struggle to confront Trump's policies of streamlining government practices.
