Trump, Trumpism and the Future of the GOP | Opinion
Former President Donald J. Trump's recent speech to the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) put him back in the spot he most enjoys: front and center of the national conversation. He's been the topic, even as President Joe Biden suffered his first defeat on Capitol Hill and House Democrats passed a bill that suppresses our treasured right to freedom of speech. Trump, always controversial, continued unhelpfully to assert the election was stolen from him even while effectively attacking the nascent Biden administration for undoing policies that "made America great again." The speech breathed new life into the discussion of a possible run in 2024 and whether he could win the Republican nomination. Republicans and Democrats both know he could be a formidable presidential candidate in 2024, should he win the GOP nomination. He won 74 million votes in 2020—11 million more while losing than he did while winning in 2016. The GOP also picked up a governorship and … [Read more...] about Trump, Trumpism and the Future of the GOP | Opinion
Trump Is Now Using DREAMers As A Bargaining Chip To Get Wall Funding And End The Shutdown
President Donald Trump proposed a plan to offer three years of protection for DREAMers and people holding temporary protected status (TPS) visas in exchange for border wall funding from Democrats, as part of a new bid on Saturday to end the partial government shutdown, which is now the longest on record . "I am here today to break the logjam and provide Congress with a path forward to end the government shutdown," said Trump in a 13-minute address from the Diplomatic Reception Room at the White House. But even before Trump announced his plan on Saturday, the plan was labeled a nonstarter by Democrats. Trump announced he was offering three years of protections for some 700,000 current recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, who had come to the US as children, "in order to build the trust and goodwill necessary to begin real immigration reform [with Democrats]." Since coming to power, Trump has pushed hard to end DACA protections introduced by former … [Read more...] about Trump Is Now Using DREAMers As A Bargaining Chip To Get Wall Funding And End The Shutdown
Trump’s Oval Office Address Is Following Days Of Aides Defending Their Misleading Border Wall Claims
President Donald Trump and his administration have spent days bringing up misleading or incorrect information to make their case for a southern border wall. Now, Trump will try to sell that case to save his top campaign promise from the Oval Office in a primetime address. The president has been front and center in talking about the urgent need for a border wall since last Wednesday, focusing on building public support for the wall by bringing up the flow of drugs from the southern border and human trafficking, rather than spending time working to negotiate a deal with congressional Democrats to fully fund the government, which remains partially shut down and affects 800,000 federal workers. But Trump and top officials have also been exaggerating claims as they frame the issue as a humanitarian and national security crisis — one that could even warrant the president declaring a national emergency in order to build the wall without congressional funding approval. The White House … [Read more...] about Trump’s Oval Office Address Is Following Days Of Aides Defending Their Misleading Border Wall Claims
