I got to tell you- so far, this second Trump term is nearly ‘exactly’- what I-and a huge number of other Americans-voted for -last November.
I must admit-I’m loving ‘Trump 2.0’. I’m loving a Donald Trump -and a Donald Trump team- that now knows how this ‘game’ is played....and clearly spent years deciding how it was that they were going to ‘playthings’ in a second term.
I am loving that President Trump, and his team know where all the constitutional limits are- and are both- using them to forward their ‘America first’ agenda, as well as using them to thwart every leftist effort to fight back.
So far, this has been a lot of fun.
I-love- this ‘administration wide’ bluntness and common sense that we are seeing played out every day – which is simply rolling over the traditional and entrenched sorts of gameplaying that the dems and their media accomplices have gotten away with for decades.
In fact, what i might like ‘the most’...is how the bluntness and common sense from trump and virtually every member of his cabinet and staff is driving the leftists and trump haters and dc insiders as bat-crap crazy as it is.
It's amusing to see Trump and his team being portrayed as ‘perpetually difficult’ and ‘perpetually frustrating’...when really.... All they are doing is a) refusing to cave into the daily left-wing narrative. And b) responding to all sorts of swampy nonsense with a blunt common sense.
Know what I mean?
I don’t think there’s a better illustration right now, than the ‘furious fight’ over an ms-13 gang member who was ..quote...mistakenly...deported to El Salvador. The pro-illegal crybabies insist on calling him a ‘Maryland man’....and insist he needs to be brought back to the states over a clerical error or some invented ‘due process’ rights that he doesn’t really have...
The leftists have worked themselves into a fever pitch and are -out of their minds! - over this clown over the last few days.
And the response from trump and his team is: he was a dangerous gang member. The American people want him gone. We don’t know what to tell you...
But...but...the supreme court has said you got to bring him back....
No, they didn’t, is the Trump team’s response. They agreed that the appeals court demanding we bring him back has no authority to make that demand....and they said we could ‘effect’ a way to bring him back if we wanted to.
We don’t want to.
Boom.
This blunt intransigence against the bestest, most bullying wishes of the left, has pushed the dc democrats and their talking head accomplices into a blind fury over the last few days!
And man, has it been fun to watch.
Because it is-finally- members of the bullying, whiney, manipulative left ‘getting a taste of their own medicine’.
This is literally payback for decades of democrats ignoring the wishes of the American people and simply bullying ahead with their own ‘wants’.
And I love it.
We don’t know how this fight over this ms-13 gang member is going to end, of course. Maybe trump’s team will feel the pressure to bring him back to the u-s temporarily and maybe not-
But the ultimate joke here, kids, is that Trump and our side ‘win’ either way. Both immigration lawyers and constitutional experts agree that- returning Abreg-Garcia to the US from El Salvador is an exercise in futility- because president trump and Marco Rubio can just ‘flag him for deportation’ again...and deport him a second time.
So-if their undies are really in a twist over it: he can be brought back and ‘more correctly’ be detained and deported if they’d like...but either way.... He’s being detained and deported.
Get it? These leftists are furiously arguing over whether trump touched third base...after he hit a walk-off home run in a game that was played 3 weeks ago.
There’s no way to go back and undo the result...and any attempt is a fruitless gesture. Because dangerous foreign gang member Abrego Garcia -is not- going to be allowed to stay here. So... if they really, really, really. Demand it...I suppose we could fly everybody back to the stadium and watch Trump officially touch third base before he scores....
But his team still won the game. So, what is the left furiously arguing over?
Hakeem Jefferies was on MSNBC suggesting that Marco Rubio and Pam Bondi be held in contempt of court because Garcia hasn’t been flown back...
Senator Chris van Hollen is insisting that- if, by God, trump hasn’t flown Garcia back to the u-s my midweek of this week-then he’ll fly down to El Salvador to meet with Garcia down there.
Okay. So?
What’s van Hollen going to do for Abrego Garcia down there? Play checkers with him through the prison bars?
He can engage in a fruitless pr stunt if he wants to-but it’s not going to matter.
Pam Bondi, for her part, said the democrats who are losing their minds over this violent gang leader have become completely detached from reality.
She also said democrats were intentionally misinterpreting last week’s supreme court decision...which did not say.... Trump needs to bring this illegal back to America.
And she’s correct.
This is another point that legal experts-and even some CNN talking heads like jake tapper- are admitting Bondi is ‘right’ on.
The Supreme Court ruling sided with the trump administration’s ‘separation of powers’ argument...and agreed that the appeals court had no authority to demand Garcia be returned to America. It then went on to suggest that trump’s team should do it, anyway, and help ‘affect’ the transfer.
But it wasn’t an order. Even the supreme court can’t issue this order. So, the second part of this ruling was more akin to...it’d be nice if you did so, anyway, in the interest of due process.
This was like a mother said to her son...yes, those cookies were a treat you got at school.... but it would be nice if you shared them with your brother.
This is what the dems and their talking heads are intentionally misinterpreting as ‘the court said you got to bring him back’.
No. It didn’t.
Trump’s causing a constitutional crisis.
No. He’s not.But it sure is fun to see you all-on the left-in a meltdown over not getting your way.
My final point is also a good one: once again- the democrats have completely lost sight of how stupid and radical their reactions make them look.
Having Chuck Schumer, Bernie sanders, Chris van Hollen, Hakeem Jefferies, etc....raging against trump’s effort to deport illegals and rabidly defending members of a gang so dangerous that their motto is ‘kill, rape, control’... Makes these dem leaders look stupid- and insane.
Portraying a known leader of that gang who was here in America illegally- as a ‘Maryland father’ makes them sound like America-haters, themselves.
And the best part of all of this is- there is zero way. Zero. Way. That Abrego Garcia is brought back to this country and released...so that he can resume is life here.
I don’t know what his supporters are even pushing for-but it won’t be that. He’s deported back to El Salvador either way. Even if it must be ‘post-nonsense’...and ‘post lefty grandstanding’...he’s being removed from America.
