Nearly Two Thirds Of Americans Support Trump’s Deportation Policy: Poll

 Nearly two thirds of American voters support President Trump’s policy of deporting illegal migrants, according to a recent Fox News poll.

The survey was released on Thursday, roughly two months after the president took office, and covered a broad range of the Trump administration’s agenda, from tax policy to foreign affairs to cultural issues.

According to the data, Trump’s most popular policy was banning trans-identified athletes from competing in women’s sports, which respondents supported by more than 2 – 1, with 68% in favor and only 30% opposed. Clear majorities also supported making English the official language (66% – 32%), deporting illegal aliens (63% – 35%), having the government only recognize two genders (54% – 44%) and increasing the production of fossil fuels (53% – 44%).

Other keystone policies of the Trump era were more contentious – slight majorities opposed significantly cutting the federal workforce (51% – 46%) and ending federal Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs (51% – 45%). A majority of voters (57%) said that much or even almost all government spending was wasteful, but a larger majority expressed concern about Trump’s implementation of spending cuts.

Trump’s least popular policy was his proposed annexation of Greenland.

“Trump’s more flamboyant ideas about expanding U.S. territories and holdings have limited public support, so much so that one wonders if they are simply designed to rattle some cages,” Daron Shaw, a Republican pollster who conducted the survey along with Democratic pollster Chris Anderson, told Fox News. “But on some of his more specific cultural and social policies, there is substantial support across a broad range of constituencies.”

Some Democratic pundits have struggled to reconcile their opposition to Trump’s immigration platform with its broad popular support.

“I think that, obviously, the president has kind of blanketed the airwaves, saying that all of these people being deported are criminals,” PBS White House correspondent Laura Barrón-López told CNN’s Dana Bash on Friday. Polling before Trump took office also showed majority support for deportations – a Harris poll from last April found that 51% of Americans supported mass deportation of illegals.

Support for Trump’s tariff policies varied dramatically based on the target nation. Mexico, Canada, and China, the United States’ three largest trading partners, respectively, have all been hit with tariff hikes since Trump took office. A clear majority (55% – 44%) supported increased tariffs on China, which has emerged as America’s leading geopolitical adversary in the 21st century, but support for tariffs on Mexico was much more tepid (43% – 56%). Tariffs on Canada were the least popular, with only 38% of Americans in favor and 61% opposed.

The president’s net approval rating in the poll was -2, (49% approved to 51% who disapproved). Men were slightly more likely than women to approve of Trump’s job performance (50% vs 47%). 52% of white respondents approved of the president’s performance compared to 44% of Hispanics and 29% of blacks.

Recent polling has also found that support for the Democratic Party is at an all time low – a CNN poll found that just 29% of Americans have a favorable view of Democrats, the lowest number since the survey began in 1992, and an NBC poll found that only 27% of Americans approve of the party.

Walz Offers Lame Apology For Mocking Tesla Stock Drop, Calls Critics ‘Butthurt’

 After Minnesota Democrat governor and failed vice presidential candidate Tim Walz taunted Elon Musk for Tesla’s stock dropping and news then broke that his state had millions of shares of the company in 2024, he offered a lame apology for his behavior.

Speaking at a town hall event in Rochester, Minnesota, Walz declared of Musk, “This guy bugs me in a way that is probably unhealthy,” to applause and cheers. “I have to be careful about being a smarta**. I was making a joke. These people have no sense of humor. They are the most literal people. My point was that they’re all mad, and I said something I probably shouldn’t have about a company,” he stated.

Then he accused people outraged by his comments about Tesla of being “butthurt,” continuing, “I make the case they’re all butthurt about the Tesla thing, but they don’t care the disrespect they have shown to employees at the Minneapolis VA who care for our veterans and they fire them. They don’t care.”

The failed vice presidential candidate claimed, “We will have the conversation about efficiency in government and about doing that but none of us believe for a second they’re thinking about this.”

“Oh, we fired everybody that’s dealing with Ebola, and then he went into the Oval Office wearing a hat,” he said of Musk. “I don’t want to hear anybody talking about decorum and respect or that, wearing a hat, coming in there, the richest man in the world.”

Then, in typical Democrat fashion, he dreamt of how he would spend other people’s money, bloviating, “Again, maybe it’s just me: If I’m the richest man in the world, I’m like out on the streets handing out money, it’d be fun as hell, just to help people out.”

Walz’s loudmouth has falsely accused Musk of giving a Nazi salute after President Trump’s inauguration, telling MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, “We spent three days debating, having them try to debate that ‘President Musk’ gave a Nazi salute. Of course, he did.”

Mike Waltz Outlines Houthi Targets U.S. Military Has Destroyed

 National Security Adviser Mike Waltz shared details over the weekend about some of the targets that the United States military has hit during its campaign to establish deterrence and to eliminate the Houthis’ ability to launch attacks from Yemen on international shipping lanes in the Red Sea.

Waltz made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” with Margaret Brennan when asked what the United States has achieved.

“We have taken out key Houthi leadership, including their head missileer,” Waltz said. “We have hit their headquarters. We have hit communications nodes, weapons factories, and even some of their over-the-water drone production facilities just in the last couple of days.”

“President Trump has decided to hit the Houthis and hit them hard, as opposed to, in the last administration, where literally weeks or months would go by with these kind of one-off pinprick attacks,” he continued. “And, as a result, we have had one of the world’s most critical sea lanes get shut down.”

Waltz said that the Iranian-backed Houthis were like “al Qaeda or ISIS with advanced cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and some of the most sophisticated air defenses, all provided by Iran.”

He said that United States merchant and naval ships have repeatedly been attacked in the Red Sea over the last year and a half and that Trump is determined to end it.

“Keeping the sea lanes open, keeping trade and commerce open is a fundamental aspect of our national security. The last administration was not effective,” he said. “The Trump administration and President Trump have decided to do something much harder, much tougher, and much more effective.”

Schumer Suggests U.S. In A Constitutional Crisis Because Trump ‘Said Judges Should Be Impeached’

 Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) suggested over the weekend that the United States was in a constitutional crisis because President Donald Trump has spoken out strongly against a federal judge who has opposed the administration’s efforts to deport illegal aliens who are part of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan terrorist organization.

Schumer made the remarks during a Sunday interview on NBC News’ “Meet The Press” with Kristen Welker.

“This week, the president called to impeach a judge who ruled against him on deportations of alleged Venezuelan gang members,” Welker said. “Supreme Court Justice John Roberts released a rare statement, rebuking the idea of using impeachment to settle judicial disagreements.”

“Some constitutional scholars and fellow Democrats, Leader Schumer, say this is a constitutional crisis,” she continued. “Do you agree? Is the United States in a constitutional crisis?”

Schumer responded: “Yes, I do, Kristen. And democracy is at risk. Look, Donald Trump is a lawless, angry man.”

“He thinks he should be king,” he continued. “He thinks he should do whatever he wants, regardless of the law, and he thinks judges should just listen to him. Now we have to fight that back in every single way. And we actually have had over 100 cases in the courts where we’ve had a very good record of success. So Donald Trump, infuriated by that success, said judges should be impeached. Let me tell Donald Trump and the American people, Democrats in the Senate will not impeach judges. Full stop.”

Schumer said he does not believe Trump when the president says that he will not defy court orders.

“I don’t trust him. We have to watch him like a hawk,” he said. “Defying court orders is why our democracy is at risk and we’ll have to do everything to fight back in that regard.”

New FBI Director Kash Patel Announces Agency Has Already Arrested Three People on Most Wanted List

 

New FBI Director Kash Patel has announced that the agency has already arrested three of the people on their most wanted list. Like Trump, he is obviously moving at light speed.

It’s amazing what the FBI can accomplish when they’re not wasting time investigating American parents for speaking out at school board meetings.

Patel says this is only the beginning.

Check out his tweet below:

From FOX News:

Three FBI Most Wanted fugitive arrests in two months signal return to ‘premier’ agency: former agent

The FBI has had prompt success capturing fugitives since President Trump took office, according to Director Kash Patel.

Patel announced on Tuesday that the FBI has apprehended three fugitives from the agency’s 10 Most Wanted list since Jan. 20.

“This is the FBI that I was proud to work for, and I’m really excited to see that they have already arrested several of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives,” former FBI agent and Fox News contributor Nicole Parker told Fox News Digital. “When President Trump took over in 2017 in his first administration, I was a violent crime agent in Miami, and I specifically remember that he said that his top priority was to focus on violent criminals.”…

Patel on Tuesday said the FBI, Justice Department and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi “have captured our third fugitive on the Ten Most Wanted list since January 20, 2025.”

Remember when Democrats tried to claim that Kash Patel wasn’t a good choice for this job? They are already being proven wrong.

CNN’s Scott Jennings Explains Why Trump Was Right to Remove Security Clearances for Biden Family, Hillary and Other Dems (VIDEO)

 

Scott Jennings of CNN recently appeared on the Laura Coates show and explained why Trump was right to revoke the security clearances of the Biden family, Hillary Clinton and other Democrats.

Jennings correctly points out that these people repeatedly abused their adjacency to national security in order to use it to go after Trump politically.

As an example, Jennings mentions the ’51 intel experts’ who signed a bogus letter claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.

He also suggests that there are too many people in Washington who have this type of clearance anyway.

Partial transcript via Mediaite:

I think when it comes to the Bidens, I mean, given the family’s long history of influence peddling and dealings with shady people overseas, I think cutting them off from national security information is frankly a pretty good idea.

That’s number one. Number two, some of these people and their affiliates and the people they’re associated with at the upper reaches of the Democratic Party have proven time and again that they are willing to abuse their adjacency to national security information for political purposes.

We all remember the 51 intelligence people who signed the Hunter Biden laptop letter, for instance. And so I think what Donald Trump is doing is sending a strong message. No longer are people like this who float in and out of government going to be able to abuse their national security access for political purposes, and let me just tell you, something that goes around comes around because as [David Sanger] just said, they cut off Donald Trump in 2021.

Watch the clip, this is great:

The Democrats set the precedents for all of this. They don’t get to complain now after abusing the system for years to go after Trump.

Trump Demands ‘Full Throated Apology’ From Maine Gov After State Caves On Women’s Sports Fight

 President Donald Trump is demanding an apology from Maine Gov. Janet Mills after the University of Maine System (UMaine) acceded to Trump’s demands to bar biological males from competing in female sports.

The president has feuded with Maine’s Democratic governor for weeks over whether trans-identifying students should be allowed to compete against women and girls in female sports leagues. The president has threatened to withhold federal funding from the state until it agrees to protect the integrity of female sports.

UMaine, which includes eight public universities across the state, backed down this week and agreed to reform its rules on trans-identifying players competing against female athletes. Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Saturday that Mills should apologize for attempting to fight the federal government over the issue.

“While the State of Maine has apologized for their Governor’s strong, but totally incorrect, statement about men playing in women’s sports while at the White House House Governor’s Conference, we have not heard from the Governor herself, and she is the one that matters in such cases,” Trump wrote. “Therefore, we need a full throated apology from the Governor herself, and a statement that she will never make such an unlawful challenge to the Federal Government again, before this case can be settled.”

“I’m sure she will be able to do that quite easily. Thank you for your attention to this matter and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” the president added.

Under pressure from the Trump administration that the university system was in violation of Title IX, UMaine agreed to “protect equal opportunities for women and girls to compete in safe and fair sports,” the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) said in a statement this week. The department had paused funding going to UMaine amid the row over female sports.

University of Maine System Chancellor Dannel Malloy expressed relief over the fight with the administration being resolved.

“The University of Maine System has always maintained its compliance with state and federal laws and with NCAA rules, which the U.S. The Department of Agriculture also affirmed in a press release today,” Malloy said.

“We are relieved to put the Department’s Title IX compliance review behind us so the land-grant University of Maine and our statewide partners can continue to leverage USDA and other essential federal funds to strengthen and grow our natural resource economy and dependent rural communities through world-class education, research, and extension,” he added.
