‘The Democratic Party is on the Verge of Collapse’ [WATCH]

Bill O’Reilly weighed in on President Donald Trump’s early weeks in office, arguing that his actions have not only been impactful but have also pushed the Democratic Party toward a breaking point.

Speaking on NewsNation, O’Reilly compared the situation to the political fallout of the Great Depression, suggesting Democrats could face a long period of decline.

“Donald Trump last night did what he wanted to do,” O’Reilly stated.

“Number one, he got on the record that his accomplishments in the first six weeks were fairly extraordinary, which is true, both good and bad. And number two, he taunted the Democratic Party into making a myriad of mistakes.”

O’Reilly went further, predicting dire consequences for Democrats. “I think the Democratic Party is on the verge of collapse,” he said.

To support his claim, O’Reilly referenced the political shift of the early 1930s, when Herbert Hoover’s handling of the Great Depression cost the Republican Party years of dominance.

“I liken it to 1931 when Herbert Hoover and the Republican Party basically said to the very suffering American people in the Depression, ‘We’re not helping you. You got to do it on your own. It’s all about self-reliance. We’re not going to give you any safety nets.’ That led to five consecutive Democratic wins, five. Not until Dwight Eisenhower, 20 years later, did the Republicans recover,” he explained.

According to O’Reilly, the Democratic Party’s current trajectory could mirror that of the Republicans post-Hoover, with their own missteps leading to prolonged political setbacks.

O’Reilly also took aim at far-left Democrats, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), accusing them of shifting their foreign policy positions based on political convenience rather than principle.

“So I wrote a message of the day on BillOReilly.com, which I know you read every morning first thing, and said, ‘Hey, didn’t the far left—the Elizabeth Warrens—used to be against war? Vietnam. They were against Iraq, Afghanistan. They didn’t want to whack Soleimani. Biden didn’t even want to get bin Laden. Wasn’t that their posture?’”

O’Reilly questioned why these same figures are now among the loudest voices pushing for aggressive intervention in Ukraine.

“But now all of a sudden, they want to go in Ukraine and go and go and go and go. What happened?”

He then offered his own explanation: “What happened was Trump hatred, and that’s what the headline is of the speech last night. When you are hating someone, you lose all perspective. You lose all feeling. You’re consumed.”

O’Reilly’s assessment highlights what he sees as an ongoing trend—Democrats allowing their opposition to Trump to override consistency in policy and decision-making.

With Trump setting the agenda and Democrats scrambling in response, O’Reilly believes the party is on the verge of long-term political damage, much like the GOP after the Hoover era.

Whether his prediction holds remains to be seen, but according to O’Reilly, the cracks in the Democratic Party are already showing.
