Panelists Name Winners and Losers of the Week

Winners of the Week

• 💡 Governor Gretchen Whitmer is a "stealth winner" for taking a different tack than other Democrats by attempting to work with President Trump, a strategy that could be productive for future Democratic presidential candidates.
• 🎯 Tulsi Gabbard is recognized for her work in declassifying information and exceeding expectations, making her a significant winner.
• 🇺🇦 Ivan, a Ukrainian infantryman, is highlighted as a winner because Kurt Schlichter trained him, and he may avoid dying in a war his country is unlikely to win, with Donald Trump doing the right thing for American interests.
• 🏙️ Tourists visiting Washington D.C. are considered winners because the city is perceived as safer, benefiting the local economy.

Losers of the Week

• 🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin is named a loser for his renewed aggression against Ukraine, which is seen as effectively sealing his fate against Donald Trump.
• 🇺🇸 Hillary Clinton is a loser for starting the week suggesting Trump could win a Nobel Peace Prize and ending it under potential investigation, a stark contrast to Tulsi Gabbard's success.
• 📢 Jessica Taroff is criticized for excoriating ICE for arresting an individual who was allegedly on his way to work for the Lincoln Project and had a history of child-related offenses.
• 🥞 Cracker Barrel's chicken fried steak and blueberry pancakes are a loser due to perceived unnecessary changes to the restaurant's logo and interior design, despite its consistent popularity.
