Van Jones Takes Aim at Political Elites
At the New York Times DealBook summit, Van Jones didn’t hold back. He criticized the political establishment, saying both parties are out of touch with what real Americans are feeling. He pointed to President Trump’s decisive win in 2024 as proof that voters are fed up with stale political tactics, dishonest politicians, and those so-called Republican In Name Only (RINO) sellouts.
Voters Are Craving Change
“People keep voting for change because something is off,” Jones declared. And he’s spot on. For years now, Americans have sensed that the system isn’t working for them. After the disastrous Biden-Harris administration, this dysfunction is glaring. From soaring prices to open borders and cultural decline, people are finally turning their backs on the empty promises of political elites.
Trump’s Power Recognized by the Left
In a surprising moment that took the internet by storm, Jones admitted that President Trump is “smarter than all of us” and currently holds the title of the most powerful man in the world. This is quite a shift from someone who was once an advisor to Barack Obama and spent years siding with the progressive agenda.

The Hard Truths About Political Strategy
Jones didn’t sugarcoat things when discussing the failures of the establishment. He cautioned Republicans against being overly optimistic. Trump’s win shouldn’t be seen as a total GOP victory; instead, it’s a clear sign of ongoing public dissatisfaction. “In 2016, people voted for change because they were fed up and sick of it; they gave Trump a chance. In 2020, they voted for change again because they were tired of Trump. And now in 2024, they voted for change once more… something is off,” Jones said.
Americans Want Real Solutions
This revelation hits hard for both Democrats and establishment Republicans: their outdated playbook isn’t cutting it anymore. The American people are fed up with politicians who care more about headlines than solving actual issues. With inflation through the roof and crime rising in our cities, ordinary folks are looking for leaders who can really get results.
Trump Outsmarts Traditional Politics
Jones also pointed out how Trump’s campaign outmaneuvered traditional politicians by embracing new media and internet influencers. While many elites laughed at Trump’s unconventional tactics, they’re now realizing that these strategies connected with a cultural shift that took them by surprise. “They aren’t laughing anymore,” Jones observed.
The Shift in Perspective
This candid acknowledgment from a prominent liberal figure shows that reality is slowly breaking through the progressive bubble. More and more people on the Left are waking up to the fact that their negative view of Trump doesn’t line up with what’s actually happening. As Jones stated, something is off — but fortunately, millions of Americans believe Trump might be able to set things right.
