There is a certain poetic justice in watching the architects of the left’s long, obsessive crusade against Donald Trump drift into political irrelevance — and President Trump himself put it more bluntly than anyone else could on Tuesday when he took to Truth Social to offer a not-so-subtle eulogy for the flailing political career of former Congressman Dan Goldman. The message was vintage Trump: direct, sharp, and — as usual — completely accurate.
“Even though he tried unsuccessfully to prosecute me, and despite the fact that he is a major Slimeball, I feel sorry for FORMER Congressman Dan Goldman,” the President wrote. “He is wandering aimlessly, together with the former husband of the great Kellyanne Conway, through a large field of Dumocrat Communists, trying so hard to find his way — A very sad finish for a man who has no clue, and never did!!!”
Hard to argue with that. But let’s give Goldman his proper send-off and walk through exactly how he got here.
From Soros Money to Capitol Hill — Goldman’s Gilded Anti-Trump Crusade
Dan Goldman didn’t arrive in Congress the hard way. An heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, Goldman spent years as a federal prosecutor before becoming a Democratic counsel during the first Trump impeachment proceedings in 2019. He was, in many respects, the Democrats’ chosen instrument — a telegenic, well-funded attack dog deployed to help the left build its case against a sitting president the Washington establishment simply could not accept.
Goldman’s role in the impeachment circus gave him the name recognition he needed to launch a congressional run in New York’s 10th District in 2022, a race he won with heavy outside financial support in a crowded Democratic primary. He then spent his time in Congress doing what he did best: grandstanding against Trump, feeding the legacy media’s insatiable appetite for anti-MAGA content, and positioning himself as a leading voice of the “resistance.”
The problem? The American people — even in deep-blue New York — started tuning out. The years of prosecutorial theater, the endless impeachments, the lawfare campaigns that followed Trump into his post-presidency and right through his historic 2024 comeback, all of it failed. Trump won. Goldman and his allies lost. And now, as President Trump notes, the former congressman finds himself wandering.
The Company He Keeps Says It All
Perhaps the most telling detail in Trump’s Truth Social post is the reference to Goldman’s current political companionship — specifically, his alignment with George Conway, the estranged former husband of Trump advisor and patriot Kellyanne Conway. George Conway became a fixture of the anti-Trump media ecosystem, co-founding the Lincoln Project and dedicating enormous personal energy to opposing the man his own wife loyally served.
The Lincoln Project, for those who need a reminder, was the self-described “conservative” super PAC that burned through tens of millions of dollars trying to defeat Trump — and became better known for internal scandals than for any meaningful political impact. It was a grift dressed up as a crusade, and voters saw through it.
That Goldman and Conway now find themselves in ideological alignment — two men defined almost entirely by what they’re against rather than what they’re for — tells you everything you need to know about where the anti-Trump movement has ended up. These are not visionaries. These are not leaders. These are men whose entire political identities were constructed around opposition to one person, and now that person is back in the White House, thriving, and governing with a mandate from the American people, they have nowhere left to go.
As President Trump correctly observed, it is, in its way, a sad spectacle.
What Goldman’s Fade Tells Us About the Bigger Picture
Goldman’s trajectory is not unique — it is representative. Across the Democratic Party, the figures who made their names as Trump antagonists are struggling to find relevance in a post-2024 political landscape that has fundamentally shifted beneath their feet. The lawfare strategy failed. The narrative that Trump was an existential threat to democracy failed to persuade enough voters. The weaponized prosecutions — including the ones Goldman cheered on from his perch in Congress — did not stop Donald Trump. They energized him.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party itself is lurching leftward, increasingly dominated by voices that make Goldman look moderate by comparison. The “large field of Democrat Communists” the President references is not hyperbole — it reflects a party that has moved so far from mainstream American values that it can no longer speak credibly to working-class voters, parents worried about their kids’ education, or citizens who simply want secure borders and a strong economy.
Goldman jumped into that world with both feet. And now he is lost in it.
Bottom Line
President Trump’s Truth Social post about Dan Goldman is more than a political jab — it’s a verdict. The men and women who spent years trying to destroy Donald Trump through impeachments, prosecutions, and media smear campaigns did not succeed. They are now left holding the wreckage of their own ambitions while the man they targeted continues to lead the country forward.
Goldman had every advantage — wealth, media support, establishment backing, and a built-in platform as one of the Democrats’ lead anti-Trump operatives. He squandered it all on a vendetta. And as President Trump made clear on Tuesday, the only appropriate response at this point is a mix of pity and amusement.
America won in November 2024. The swamp lost. Dan Goldman is just the latest reminder of that fact.
