Hey, Democrats: LA riots make Americans like me glad Trump is president
As I’ve witnessed photos and videos of the burning cars, masked rioters wielding Mexican flags, blocked freeways and looted stores in Los Angeles in recent days, my conclusion is this:
I’m glad Donald Trump is president. And I’m not alone.
Voters in November chose Trump in large part to address the surge in illegal immigration that former President Joe Biden allowed to happen for years, letting millions of people flood our borders.
Trump has followed through on his campaign promises to close the border and to deport many of these immigrants who’ve flouted the law.
By doing their job, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents purportedly have sparked the mayhem and violence in LA, and which is now spreading to other parts of the country.
California Democrats like Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom are wringing their hands that Trump has deployed the National Guard and now the Marines to help quell the violence, even though state and local leaders certainly don’t have the situation under control.
Rather than call out the bad behavior, Democrats and the news media appear to condone the rioting – and downplay what’s actually happening.
It’s an odd strategy, and one that shows why Democrats continue to struggle to connect with average Americans.
