There are only a few professions where you can be consistently wrong and hold onto your job. Apparently, being a Democrat is one of them. It’s perhaps less evident when a Democrat is in the White House, because the media will lie and engage in deflective hand-waving to cover up for them on a daily basis. But with Donald Trump as president of the United States, facts blow C-4-sized holes in the American Left’s narratives on a daily basis.
Take Trump’s tariffs, for example. We were told by “experts” that tariffs were going to cause major international incidents and create massive inflation.
Whoops.
The major international incidents haven’t materialized, as most nations facing increased import tariffs on their goods have entered into updated trade agreements. In July alone, Trump’s tariffs brought in $29.6 billion. So far for fiscal year 2025 (measured from October of last year to today), the U.S. has received an estimated $156.4 billion. And inflation, which increased dramatically under the administration of Joe Biden, decreased to a four-year low earlier this summer.
And then there’s immigration. Democrats have simultaneously claimed that the border under former President Biden was “secure” (riiiiight — securely open), that it would be impossible to eliminate illegal border crossings without action by Congress, and that immigrants here illegally pose no threat to American citizens.
Wrong, wrong and wrong.
Trump’s closure of the southern border, his enforcement of immigration laws, arrest and deportation of illegals who have committed crimes here in the U.S. have had dramatic results: July 2025 had the lowest number of illegal border crossings in the history of Customs and Border Protection, with zero illegal aliens released into the United States for the third month in a row. Approximately 100,000 illegals have been deported (in addition to those who are detained or incarcerated). And it’s been estimated that around a million illegal immigrants have self-deported.
In addition to illegal immigration’s association with job losses, violent crime, and drug and human trafficking, this week’s headlines brought new problems to the public’s attention. Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant from India, was issued a commercial (truck) driver’s license in California, despite failing the required English proficiency test: Singh could answer only two of 12 questions correctly, and properly identified only one traffic sign. On Aug. 12, Singh made an illegal left turn while driving a semi on the Florida turnpike, killing three people in a vehicle that struck his trailer. He has since been arrested and charged with three counts of vehicular homicide. But Americans are asking: Why was an illegal alien issued a CDL in the first place?
Democrats are just as wrong about Trump’s foreign policy pushes. While they have been shrieking for years that Trump was going to get America into disastrous wars, Trump has actually taken a leading role in resolving international conflicts, including brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, ending a border dispute between Cambodia and Thailand, obtaining a commitment to a future peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and hosting meetings between leaders of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo that resulted in a peace agreement.
Most recently, Trump hosted Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, seeking an end to the bloody war between Russia and Ukraine. Just days later, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Trump at the White House, joined by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen — a gathering that even news organizations like NBC described as “historic” and “a rare display of trans-Atlantic unity.”
It remains to be seen whether Trump will be able to parlay that unity — along with his famous “Art of the Deal” skills — into an actual peace between Putin and Zelenskyy. And while Trump is being just as persistent about ending the two-year war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, that conflict seems even more intractable than the one between Russia and Ukraine. Trump’s critics slammed his earlier statements about developing Gaza into a Mediterranean resort area. And naysayers are quick to point out that even where agreements have been obtained with other country’s disputes, they are fragile, and serious issues remain in each case to be addressed. But those criticisms miss two vital points: First, virtually any agreement between nations that have been at war is fragile, at least initially. And second, Trump is using his power and influence to try to bring about peace. Why isn’t it preferable to have a president who wants to see entrepreneurship, business creation and economic development? Better that than the kinds of “profits” that come from pursuing “nation-building,” funding covert ops run by the CIA, or the sale of hundreds of billions of dollars in munitions and materiel, which results in devastation and death while making weapons manufacturers insanely wealthy.
It’s obvious not only that Democrats are wrong about a good many of Trump’s policy initiatives but that they know they’re wrong. They seem to have no economic message, to be defenders of surveillance and multinational corporations, and to be more interested in protecting the “rights” of illegal aliens and criminals than those of American citizens, workers and families.
James Carville, longtime Democratic strategist, appeared on Jesse Watters’ show on Fox News earlier this week. Carville, never at a loss for words, could not answer a single question Watters posed — including why notable Democratic Party politicians like Bill and Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom have refused to appear on left-leaning talk show host Bill Maher’s show. Instead, Carville mouthed banal platitudes about how the Democrats were going to sweep in 2026 and would have a great presidential candidate in 2028. How and who, Carville didn’t — or couldn’t — say.
You know it’s bad when even Carville doesn’t have an explanation for the current dismal state of the Democratic Party and can’t advocate for a single Democratic National Committee policy platform.
