Trump Exposed the Crazy Things Democrats Believe

It shouldn’t have been a difficult decision.

During his Tuesday State of the Union address, President Donald Trump issued a challenge to the members of Congress before him.

“If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support,” he said. “The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”

Republicans stood and applauded. Democrats didn’t budge from their seats. It was a striking contrast. Trump knew it, too.

“You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up,” he told Democrats.

Imagine telling someone a week ago that congressional Democrats wouldn’t publicly agree with that statement. He or she would have laughed at you because it was so absurd. Even Democrats who prioritize illegal immigrants over Americans would have the political sense not to admit it openly. Right?

Wrong. This wasn’t the only moment like this.

Trump introduced Anya Zarutska, the mother of Iryna Zarutska. Last fall, a man fatally stabbed the 23-year-old daughter. The video of her murder — and the casual indifference of her fellow passengers — is haunting. Finding out that the alleged killer had been arrested more than a dozen times previously was infuriating. The soft-on-crime policies of leftist prosecutors have deadly consequences. Trump chided Democrats for not standing to recognize Anya Zarutska.

Trump also recognized Sage Blair.

“In 2021, Sage was 14 when school officials in Virginia sought to socially transition her to a new gender, treating her as a boy and hiding it from her parents,” Trump said. He continued, “After she was found in a horrific situation in Maryland, a left-wing judge refused to return Sage to her parents because they did not immediately state that their daughter was their son.”

Fortunately, Sage today knows that she is a woman. Trump said she has a “full-ride scholarship to Liberty University.” Democrats didn’t stand and applaud her either.

“Who can believe that we’re even speaking about things like this?” Trump asked.

That’s not just a rhetorical question. Democrats have moved so far to the left that many voters simply don’t believe Democrats could hold the positions they do. In October 2024, Tablet magazine had an article on this phenomenon entitled “The Democrats’ Insanity Defense.”

A GOP staffer said, “that one problem his campaign regularly faces is that aspects of Democratic governance are simply too insane for voters to find credible, even when they are documented as official U.S. government policy,” the article stated.

The staffer said that voters “are critical of things like boys in girls’ sports, but they tune out stuff about schools not informing parents about transitioning their children. They just don’t believe it’s true. It can’t be.”

And yet it is. Sage Blair is living proof of it.

Democrats prioritize illegal immigrants over Americans, criminals over victims and transgender ideology over truth.

You don’t have to believe Trump. You just have to believe your lying eyes.
