It's Over, Trump: Jeffries Compares Former President to an Ex Who Won't Move On

Read About: Jeffries Compares

In a recent speech, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries used a rather vivacious metaphor to express his view about former President Donald Trump. He said Trump was like the ex-boyfriend who, after a girl breaks up with him, keeps on trying to resume an old romance. He made these remarks to stress that Trump needs to stay out of politics.

Jeffries drew a comparison between Trump and an old partner who does not get it, still pestering one after the relationship is over. "It's like an old boyfriend who just can't let go," Jeffries said. "We broke up with him for a reason. We moved on. The fact that he keeps trying to come back is really just a reminder of why we had to end things in the first place.".

The comment came in the midst of rolling political debate and the impact Trump appears to be having on at least some factions within the Republican Party. It is in this context that Jeffries used the metaphor of a breakup to suggest finality and frustration—that Trump's continued presence and efforts to influence the political milieu are not necessary and not wanted.

In a sign that Jeffries was frustrated with Trump's resilience to return as a private citizen and quit trying to be the face of politics, he stated: "We made a decision to move forward and build something new. The trying to revisit old issues only distracts from the progress we're trying to make." His analogy was to reinforce that Trump's return to the political stage is both unwanted and counterproductive.

The metaphor also reflects a broader sentiment among some Democrats and political pundits: Trump's case argues for an influence that will transcend current political discourses. To a greater extent, Jeffries' remarks reflect the desire for a larger narrative in an attempt to distance the party from the controversial legacy of Donald Trump and focus on new leadership and policy initiatives.

That very colorful comparison by Jeffries spells out a myriad of challenges against the persistence of Trump in American politics. The metaphor not only describes the present political struggle unfolding at this very moment but offers a vivid depiction of how some leaders wish to dissociate themselves from the Trump era and focus their efforts on new directions for the country.
