“As a candidate, [Donald Trump] promised new tariffs. He won. He imposed those tariffs. Americans didn’t like them. As a candidate, he warned that Iran couldn’t be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. He won. He bombed Iran’s nuclear program. Americans didn’t like it. As a candidate, he vowed to deport illegal immigrants en masse. He won. He’s begun raiding workplaces to round up those immigrants. Americans didn’t like it. Here’s who Americans are. They’re a population that wants the budget balanced without cutting entitlements, that wants jobs repatriated without protectionism, that wants Iran disarmed without military force, and that wants illegal immigrants removed without any rough stuff. One free lunch after another, as far as the eye can see.” (06/26/25)
