As the nation reels from a second cowardly attack on former President Donald Trump’s life, it is increasingly clear the radical left refuses to tone down their hateful rhetoric against Trump even if it threatens his life repeatedly. The American people, however, want to put Trump back in charge of the two most pivotal issues facing the country – the economy and immigration.
Just five days after the contentious debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris blatantly exposed the mainstream media’s allegiance to the radical left, Trump fended off yet another attack on his life. On Sunday Trump was on what should have been a secure West Palm Beach golf course, only to be threatened once again by a radical extremist with a weapon.
While the spineless and self-serving mainstream media wasted no time insinuating Trump is to blame for nearly losing his life for the second time in two months, one has to wonder if the radical left would be happier with Trump out of the picture.
The despicable action taken against Trump on Sunday is the direct fault of no one other than the man who carried out the act – the radical political activist Ryan Wesley Routh – until proven otherwise. That said, when the entirety of a nation’s media and culture collude to sew hatred against one man who has now faced two assassination attempts, it is worth asking why the mainstream political class are so complicit in these attacks.
Despite a relentless eight-year-long campaign against Trump that includes collusion at the highest levels of government, law, media, academia, and culture, Trump’s support remains strong among the people. Americans are largely witnessing the collapse of the culture, buried under rising inflation, a ballooning national debt, the devaluation of the dollar, and Open Borders insanity, and Trump’s solutions are increasingly popular.
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Americans increasingly support Trump’s tariff proposal and proposal to exempt tips from taxation, and most say Trump would be better at handling the economy and inflation than Kamala Harris would.
According to the poll, voters favor Trump on handling inflation by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent, saying Trump will do better job than Kamala at tackling inflation and lowering the costs of everyday goods.
Americans say by a broad fifteen points, 56 percent to 41 percent, that they are more likely to support a candidate who imposes a 10 percent tariff on imported goods and a 60 percent tariff on goods from China, proposals Trump has championed. According to the poll, one in three Democrats agree with the tariff proposal on foreign goods and Chinese imports, demonstrating that Trump’s economic agenda appeals beyond partisan boundaries.
Voters also broadly favor the proposal to exclude tips from taxation, with seventy percent of those polled supporting Trump’s plan. Voters also say by ten points, 47 percent to 37 percent, that Trump would foster a better climate for business than Harris would.
Then there is the issue of immigration, which has become increasingly poignant since the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous Open Borders agenda opened the floodgates to millions of illegal aliens. An increasing share of the public – regardless of political affiliation – are concerned about the immediate and long-term costs of illegal immigration and the border remains one of the top issues heading into November.
According to the latest YouGov survey, immigration is the third most important issue to Americans, with 23 percent of the country prioritizing inflation, 12 percent prioritizing jobs and the economy, and ten percent prioritizing immigration.
Beyond a bundle of economic concerns, immigration is the second largest issue, and the public favors Trump’s approach to securing the border. Americans say by ten points, 47 percent to 37 percent, that Trump would do a better job than Kamala Harris on immigration. Swing voters largely agree, with Hispanics favoring Trump on immigration by six points and independents siding with Trump on immigration by 19 points.
A detailed YouGov survey from September 10-11 shows over half of Americans (53 percent) believe Trump would handle immigration well, compared to 45 percent who believe Harris would handle immigration well.
Despite the Democratic elite’s best attempt to shift the national focus this election year to radical abortion and environmental proposals, the top concerns for the American people are inflation and the border crisis. A growing share of the public, including some Democrats, support Former President Trump’s proposals to address inflation, levy tariffs on Chinese goods, and deport millions of illegal immigrants. These policies are popular with the people, but a threat to the self-serving political elite, and therein lies the problem.

Issues like abortion and climate change are “Luxury ideals,” to be discussed when everyone has a roof over their heads, a full belly, proper health, secure neighborhoods, and a purpose in life (read “a job”).
Biden and “Ho-Bama” worked to break those things down in an effort to reduce America into a Socialistic slavery, relying on “The Government” for basics like food, housing, and healthcare. What do you do when your single source for such things says, “No, unless…”?
HARRS no idea how to fix anything, just look at what she did in CALIF, 3,5 years and has done nothing about the SOUTHERB BORDER.SHE is a socialist and that should tell you all you need to know.
