Absolutely.
So this has been one of the top campaign promises of the president who campaigned on securing our border, deporting illegal immigrants.
And he has very much done so.
I think people on both sides of the aisle can agree that this has been a huge focus of this administration.
Trump has pretty much closed the border.
There have not been any border crossings in months, according to DHS.
And he's also spent a lot of time sending ICE to cities all around the country and rounding up illegal immigrants and deporting them.
We've seen many videos of this, you know, whether these are on social media, glamorizing the deportations and showing that the president means what he says.
We've also heard from DHS that there are blue cities across the country that are blocking these deportations.
We see that on the news recently with Minneapolis and on the crimes against ICE officers there.
I was told by DHS's Tricia McLaughlin this morning that there are a number of illegal immigrants who are in jail right now in cities like Minneapolis.
And politicians like Jacob Frey and Tim Walz are not allowing them to be released.
When you don't allow...
With the help of Democratic lawmakers all across the country, the president could be enacting his agenda on immigration even further.
Well, so in the last year, the president has secured almost $10 trillion in both private and foreign investments in the United States.
That includes $600 billion investments from Saudi Arabia, a $350 billion tech deal with the United Kingdom, and more.
On his trip to Asia, which he took earlier this year, he also secured...
billions and billions of dollars in deals and investments in the United States.
And he's very proud of this fact and has leveraged tariffs in many ways in order to secure some of these deals and to gain the trust of other countries or the respect of other countries in doing so.
Yeah, so the president would tell you that he has actually ended, I believe, eight or nine wars, almost 10 wars at this point.
