You seem a little confused, or perhaps simply blinded by your "ideology".

 

Someone who has come to do good and has a serious face when contemplating it, is a very positive thing.

 

Do you think the allies that fought to liberate Europe were all smiling?

What exactly is the nature of the emergency in the USA, given that the economy is strong including low unemployment?  A record percentage of Americans covered by health insurance? Border crossings have declined very sharply. Inflation is still a bit higher than optimal. Is part of the emergency high grocery prices? The price rise that Trump unequivocally pledged to reverse during his campaign? 

As for allies smiling, what do you think these dudes were up to. And they facing a real emergency.

Declaring the executive order as an energy emergency was the only way he could roll back Biden's awkward drilling restrictions.

Yes the US may drill enough for own use, ever considered exporting oil may increase GDP?

I've got some exciting news for you: The USA already is a net exporter for energy. And some even more exciting news Oil company executives aren't exactly gung ho about producing more oil. Because they understand that sometimes more is less:

Does this guy look upbeat?

Donald Trump's and JD Vance's official portraits released

 

Sadly, that photo link is blocked here where I'm staying. 

 

But if it's the same portrait I've seen it looks like Trump is trolling, deliberately invoking his mugshot that helped him get elected.

The news is very positive, everyone is standing to applaud everything Trump says, people are standing up and fighting back against woke fascism.

 

Does anyone else feel like it's just a really positive time right now?  Like we're emerging from some sort of dark time in history?

It's called the honeymoon period, which lasts for a few weeks to a few months with incoming Presidents.

 

The acid test will come with inflation. Over 50% of Americans expect him to bring prices down.

 

Deporting cheap illegal labor and raising tariffs does not seem to be a sensible way to tackle inflation. Apparently many people have tried and failed to convince Trump tariffs are inflationary. It remains to be seen if he will actually implement them.

 

The "dark time in history" was when there was wages growth, GDP growth, unemployment was under 4%, and the stock market hit record highs. However, there are always people who want to revise history.
