Trump and Politics

[Wrangler]

More precisely, it's Trump's problem to solve. He let it get out of hand

LOL. He hasn't been in office for half a century like Pelosi and Schumer.

And again, you are wrong due to TDS. It is the problem of patriots to solve. And you offer no solution, only complaints how the doer of deeds could have done them better.

LOL. He hasn't been in office for half a century like Pelosi and Schumer.

Took him less than two years to let more fentanyl into the country.

And again, you are wrong due to TDS.

I don't think Trump's dementia is the issue. The problem is, he's focusing on law-abiding undocumented workers, and putting less effort into dealing with drug smugglers. And so more fentanyl deaths in the last year, due to his choices.

 

[The Barbarian]

Friend you gonna have to lead by example then . cause i seem to notice you are too glued to the liberal left

It's not just the left who are concerned about the rise in fentanyl deaths in the last year.

We gonna have to return to POINTING ONLY TO CHRIST .

This is what's hard for a lot of people. There are perfectly good Christians who have all sorts of political beliefs. And there are plenty of people on the right who are not happy that this administration is putting less effort into stopping drug smuggling.

law-abiding undocumented workers

What a troll, contradicting yourself like that. “Undocumented” = illegal.

Yea, don’t let facts get in the way of a good narrative. Repeating what AI refuted. Monitoring of street drug markets suggests that in the most recent 6–12 months there has been “significantly less fentanyl” being sold in some parts of the U.S.

No! How well are you and your Demonrat party doing on that? What is your solution to getting fentanyl off the street?

According to AI.

How much less fentanyl in America over last 15 months​

Over roughly the last 15 months, drug overdose deaths in the U.S. have fallen by around 20–25%, and most of that decline is driven by a reduction in fentanyl‑involved deaths, not by fentanyl disappearing.

What Changed In 15 Months​

• A large national study found that overall drug overdose death rates began falling around August 2023 and then declined for 15 consecutive months, with the steepest drops in the final 9 months of that period.
• By 2024, annual overdose deaths were down by almost 30,000 compared with 2023, about a 25–27% drop, and analysts attribute most of that improvement to fewer fentanyl‑related deaths.

Fentanyl Supply And Potency​

• Monitoring of street drug markets suggests that in the most recent 6–12 months there has been “significantly less fentanyl” being sold in some parts of the U.S., and the fentanyl that is available is often less potent than before, indicating a disruption in the supply chain.
• Experts caution that this appears to be a modest and possibly temporary reduction in supply and potency, not a collapse of the fentanyl market; fentanyl and other synthetic opioids still account for the majority of overdose deaths (about 69% of overdose deaths in 2023 involved synthetic opioids like fentanyl).

Big Picture​

• So there is less fentanyl‑driven harm—tens of thousands fewer deaths per year—over about the last 15 months, but fentanyl remains the dominant driver of the overdose crisis, not a solved problem.

Still, you’re unable to answer the patriotic question; is America better off with less fentanyl on our streets?

You might have seen that Kyiv has deployed military experts across the Middle East in recent weeks.
But why is Ukrainian expertise suddenly in demand?

The short answer is that defending against attacks of hundreds of drones a day has made Ukraine the world's leading expert in air defence.

In recent weeks, global news outlets were flooded with images of Iranian Shahed drones raining down on the Middle East.

And all of this is happening while lies coming out of the White House are telling us that Iran is totally defeated and is "begging" for peace.

 

[Triumph1300]

Agreed. @The Barbarian is a troll

Lol.
According to the Trump worshippers everybody speaking up against Trump is a troll.
These kind of accusations are getting very boring.

[Triumph1300]

Trump is sick.
He looks sick.
A danger to the USA and the world at large.
He is suffering and hides it.

What keeps happening now, over and over, is that the White House can still control records, limit disclosure, curate camera angles, and flood the zone with loyalist noise, but it is having a harder and harder time controlling the one thing that matters most: the spectacle of Donald Trump in public for long stretches of time.

No one outside his medical team can responsibly diagnose him from clips, transcripts, or cabinet-room wanderings. Dangerous.

The main reason with issues is because the Socialist Governments around the world work against Trump in fact !
So clearly it's they, who are creating only more problems ! They are idiots ! they clearly support Drug Barrons and Islamic trash that dominates over women like a mongrel dog ! Just look at Bidens out righ stupid idiot lies when pulling out of Afganistan that's just one issue that the brain dead Socialist walk away from, need I say more !
Democrate Socialist once again Guilty as charged, in just another outright full on disrespect for women once again ! no wonder, because they clearly can not even define what a women is ! Such as they clearly can not say it ! Why, because they are clearly Possessed !

Talk about Evil !

That's the rub. Turns out, illegal aliens are much more law-abiding than native-born Americans.

Immigrants are significantly less likely to commit crimes than the U.S.-born ​

A study co-led by Northwestern University economist Elisa Jácome provides the first historical comparison of incarceration rates of immigrants to U.S.-born citizens.


Using incarceration rates as a proxy for crime, a team of economists analyzed 150 years of U.S. Census data and found immigrants were consistently less likely to be incarcerated than people born in the U.S.


They also found beginning in 1960, the incarceration gap widened such that immigrants today are 60% less likely to be incarcerated than the U.S.-born.


“Our study shows that since 1870, it has never been the case that immigrants as a group have been more incarcerated than the U.S.-born,” Jácome said.

This confirms Texas data showing the same things for arrests:
An NIJ-funded study examining data from the Texas Department of Public Safety estimated
the rate at which undocumented immigrants are arrested for committing crimes. The study
found that undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born
U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for
property crimes.[1]

Monitoring of street drug markets suggests that in the most recent 6–12 months there has been “significantly less fentanyl” being sold in some parts of the U.S.

Wouldn't it be great if instead of chasing factory workers and construction workers, Trump focused on fentanyl smugglers?

You're getting yourself overexcited, again. Never hate our enemies; it damages your judgement.

They never realize that such angry verbal abuse makes reasonable people discount what they say. To be fair, not every Trump supporter is a Trump worshiper.

Justifying evil by another name.

I should trust what you say and not my lying eyes. We are a nation of laws and no rationalization for breaking them will be accepted. In addition, to be a nation means we must have a border that is secure. This is an existential threat and you resort to gas lighting.

That's not the same as saying Americans are evil. Why would you think that?

I should trust what you say and not my lying eyes.

You should trust the data from Texas and other police agencies. Always check references.

We are a nation of laws and no rationalization for breaking them will be accepted.

That's why more and more Americans are turning from Donald Trump.

You're right about laws. If a law is harmful to America, the answer is not to ignore it, but to change it. That's where we are on immigration now.

In addition, to be a nation means we must have a border that is secure.

In fact, until the 20th century, we had mostly open borders.

For much of its history, America had essentially open borders, both before the establishment of the United States and after. In 1921 the Emergency Quota Act, initially intended to be a temporary measure, imposed the first serious restrictions on entry into the United States.

This is an existential threat

It's actually what's keeping us from declining the way Russia is declining. Immigration of workers is precisely what is necessary for this country during a declining birth rate.

This contribution reflects the “immigration surge” that began in 2021 and continued through the early part of 2025. The Congressional Budget Office projected that this specific surge in population would account for an $8.9 trillion increase in nominal GDP over the 2024–2034 period.

Of this total, $7.8 trillion is directly attributable to the increase in the size of the population. This contradicts claims that the economy, rather than slicing the economic pie into smaller pieces, immigration enlarges the pie, creating new demand, new markets, and new investment opportunities.

The “demand side” of this equation is equally critical. Immigrants are consumers. In 2023, immigrant households held billions in spending power, which circulates through the economy, supporting U.S. businesses from local retail to national housing markets.

Even undocumented immigrants, a group often marginalized in economic data, held $299 billion in spending power in 2023. This consumption supports the employment of native-born workers in logistics, retail, and service sectors.

I realize that it's not the economic benefits of immigrants that scare some foolish people so much. It's the fear that they will overtake us and "replace us" as one racist group has feared.

They don't want to overtake us; they want to join us. They've heard about the American Dream and they want to be part of it. In the words of Ronald Reagan:

I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.

Reagan wasn't gaslighting; he was describing the America our founders intended it to be. The existential threat is that Americans will lose their trust in America and allow fear and hatred to destroy the dream of the founders.

There is evidence that the good guys are winning:

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans have grown markedly more positive toward immigration over the past year, with the share wanting immigration reduced dropping from 55% in 2024 to 30% today. At the same time, a record-high 79% of U.S. adults say immigration is a good thing for the country.

Surge in U.S. Concern About Immigration Has Abated

The percentage of Americans wanting less immigration has dropped by nearly half this year to 30%, with 79% now saying immigration benefits the U.S.

To cite Reagan, it's not quite "Morning in America" yet, but it's moving back toward his view of our nation and it's promise. And that's a good thing.

I don't think you're lying; you're so afraid that you won't accept the facts. Do you honestly believe the state of Texas is lying when they documented illegal aliens were more law-abiding than native-born Americans?

Meanwhile, 10 new days for the Iran regime. Translation : preparation time for boots on the ground. I think it's inevitable by now.

 

[Behold]

Yes, support is dropping fast lately.
They finally see the light

If some Americas who voted for President Trump... decided to ""turn on Trump" because their gas prices are $1 more at the gas pump right now, then that explains that they dont see the big picture. They are short sighted and have no ability to see "down the road".

In most cases, its "trump derangment syndrome" that blinds them completely as you find with some on this Forum. @Triumph1300 .
As you would know.

And anyone who can't comprehend that Iran and what it causes in this world, has to be stopped, is just not thinking clearly.
There is only one place to go........you have to go to the Leaders who have some backbone, who have some credibility, and who are willing to face the consequences that will come when you try to deal with what Satan has created as Islam, and Iran's Leadership.

Its a sad and pathetic fact that most Leaders in all the BIG NATO countries are just too afraid to take on this situation with Iran and with Islam.
It could be that they feel that if they take a stand against Iran and Islam, then they might just get murdered in their bed..., as they've seen what Islamic religious fanatics will do to you.
.....Nevertheless.......They ALL need to grow some SPINE and take a stand and help the world get rid of everything associated with whomever "wants all the jews to die, simply because they are a Jew". "all the way from the river to the sea"... is what they say.

Trump has the internal fortitude, and Netanyahu has no choice as for Israel its "kill or be killed" and God is going to make certain that it isn't Israel that is killed.
Believe it., while you continue to watch Him work His work using whatever leaders are necessary to get the END to begin.
