New piece by Raheem explaining the fake polls.

President Donald J. Trump started this last week of January with a Truth Social post that began: “Fake and Fraudulent Polling should be, virtually, a criminal offense.”

He must have been reading the same things I was, over the weekend, including the perennial punishment routinely exacted upon us all by the Wall Street Journal: the asinine and aggressively missable musings of Karl Rove.

“…the White House has turned a major win into a major drag on the president’s approval,” Rove writes. “58% of Americans and 66% of independents disapproved of Mr. Trump’s handling of immigration in a Jan. 12 CNN/SRRS survey.”

Rove fails to disclose that on the question of whether the President has “gone too far” on immigration enforcement, the poll has shifted only 7 points over the last year, with a margin of error of 3.1%.

No one should need reminding that President Trump’s platform won the popular vote, the electoral college, the House, the Senate, and held 8 of 11 gubernatorial races up for grabs in 2024.

Now, just a year on from Trump’s second inauguration, people like Mr. Rove want you to believe the American public has suddenly changed its mind and would rather keep criminal illegal migrants in America than face the ugliness of mass deportations.

President Trump and his administration were elected in large part to “Seal the border and stop the migrant invasion,” and “Carry out the largest deportation operation in American history.”

For anyone who thought that would be easy, quick, uneventful, or without incident: you’ve either been asleep for the past few decades, or you’ve taken some mind-altering drugs I’d quite like to try sometime.

Besides, you voted for the policy, not the process—the what, not the how.

Quite frankly, given the treachery and danger in these ICE encounters, we should spend more time reflecting on the restraint of the majority of federal officers, rather than the unfortunate episodes caused by the left’s anti-democratic NPC army.
