And quite frankly deserves it. I know some people will defend this by saying there is some more nuance or context missing, which very well be correct. But 90% of politics is winning these PR battles. The legacy MSM is taking a victory lap all over the place.

The Trump admin should have just put all their resources where they could most effectively be used in the first place , if they were going to back away once they got the inevitable push back from paid agitators. It’s like they have absolutely zero 3-D strategy and everything is just shoot from the hip and reacting to polls, etc.

Republicans in Congress won’t even vote to stop illegals from receiving welfare.

Democrats want illegal immigration, but what we forget is so do Republican congressmen and the Chamber of Commerce crowd.

We couldn’t even get Republican Senators to vote to stop paying illegals to be here.

Its all strategic... The fumbling of the MN bs by Kristi has put the admin on their heals and he's trying to simmer it down going into the mid terms bc he knows if the Dems take the house, his last 2yrs are fricked.

Goodness

Walz orders zero cooperation with ICE in MN, so with no local cooperation, DHS is forced to deploy 2700 of its 13000 agents there. Walz then caves and says "My bad. We will cooperate." So 700 ICE agents could then be redeployed elsewhere. Meanwhile, the escalated MN situation has netted just 400 ICE detentions ... 30x less than Texas ... not very efficient.

That's Trump caving?

He’s giving them the PR win, go read any MSM media source right now. They are all celebrating and gloating about it.

PR and messaging is 90% of this and how we advance policy. The Dems understand this, and goober clown Reps think it’s about winning some debate with facts. Most Americans are uniformed retards, and just will see the short clips and media headlines.

Trump has lost on most issues at this point. War, the economy is shite, DOGE went nowhere, immigration is really the only thing he has to hang his hat on at this point.

The mid-terms will be a bloodbath... but it's all bullshite theater, anyway. America is dead.

365 wins in 365 days


Below is the first 10, see link for all 365.

quote:

Achieved negative net migration in 2025, reversing a 50-year trend and restoring U.S. control over immigration flows for the first time in a generation.

Removed more than 2.6 million illegal aliens from the United States through deportations and voluntary self-departures.

Carried out over 650,000 arrests, detentions, and deportations of illegal aliens — including the worst of the worst criminal illegal alien killers, rapists, gang members, and repeat offenders.

Deported more than 400,000 illegal aliens charged with or convicted of crimes.

Induced two million self-deportations by ending Biden-era release incentives and restoring credible consequences.

Reduced illegal border crossings to their lowest level since the 1970s, completely eradicating the Biden-era invasion.

Cut fentanyl trafficking at the southern border by 56%.

Permanently ended dangerous “catch-and-release” policies nationwide by detaining illegal aliens rather than releasing them into the interior — resulting in a 99.9% decrease in illegals being released into the country during the Biden era.

Maintained zero illegal alien releases into the country’s homeland for eight consecutive months, restoring deterrence at the border.

Declared a national border emergency on Day One, unlocking the authorities and resources needed to restore order — no new legislation required.

X is nothing but bots. Who cares what the programmed bots say?

Deportations haven’t stopped. Holman last night said the plan all along was to start with criminals first. That plan continues.

Why people lose it over what Trump says is mind boggling at this point. Watch the ball not the person throwing it.

A) You trust Walz and Frey to continue to follow through? Based on what? 400 of how many illegals up there? We don’t even know.
B) He just celebrated a bill being passed by “his” party that doesn’t require voters to have an ID after lying openly yet again to the few actual MAGA advocates like Anna Paulina Luna.
C) he’s now openly and directly saying he’ll only focus on “criminal” illegals

He’s obviously cut a deal with the garbage GOPe on an issue that a majority of Americans supported him on thus pissing off his base and fumbling an issue that legitimately helped win him the election in the first place.

Yet again the “conservative” right sells out America just like Reagan, Bush and all the others did despite the USSC, Congress and the WH all being handed to them.

Yet again they prove that there is no way to vote our way out of the globalist agenda, further pushing us down a path to capitulation or war.

And yet again people on this board who lack resolve and the ability to objectively criticize their own “team” blindly defend it.

That the administration was caught flat footed on the Lefts funded & organized sedition is annoying AF.

Trump spending time on 2020 but not the here & now is a major tactical mistake.

It’s almost like a northern state that borders Canada doesn’t suffer from illegal immigration as much as one that borders Mexico.

By this logic, Trump had already caved to the left when the original PR statement was: We are just going after the bad hombres...the worst.
Then the left and GOPe lost their shite when guys got yanked out of Home Depot and restaurants.
Trump putting out a softer PR statement doesn't mean any kind of 'game over' moment.

Exactly this.

All I seen so far is 'spin' from the Democrats and propaganda arm, the MSM.

I've kept up with this fairly well. The media loves to point out the changes made by the administration: of 700 ICE agents being pulled now, after Bovino lost his position, after 2 people were killed by ICE... all in one sentence.

They don't really mention MN agreeing to release IA's to ICE, instead they say 'MN has been cooperating anyway' -- Wait, What?
