It looks like Democrats are adjusting their strategy to call out and expose Donald Trump. And what they're doing is, I guess, a form of reverse psychology or just setting these traps along the way. And they're saying to Donald Trump, look, Donald, you made all of these promises to people on the campaign trail. So what? We're going to hold you to those promises and where these promises, whether it's things like no tax on tips or whether it is capping interest rates on credit cards or whether it is automation versus non automation at the docks, whether it's your support of unions which you claim which you actually don't support unions but you claimed you supported unions we're going to put you on the spot and we're going to introduce legislation and we're going to use your exact words from the campaign in the legislation and we're going to show that you actually don't support these things and we're going to go one by one and say here's the promise okay we're just going to draft that
And we're going to submit that to Congress to see if Congress will pass that and see if you'll sign it. And ultimately, when Donald Trump doesn't sign it, Democrats will be kind of setting this up. They're setting the trap for the midterms in 2028 to say, look, he's a liar about everything. We've already seen Donald Trump showing that he was a liar about his position on H-1B visas. Donald Trump's whole position on the campaign trail in 2016 and in 2020 was that he was going to make sure that Americans get those jobs. He said, I'm going to make sure America goes H-1B visas and I'm gonna come up with a way to get rid of them. I'm not gonna show you the clips of him, but we did a great comparison of what he said in 2016, what he said in 2020, and what he said at New Year's, and it's just very different things. He went from saying these are American jobs, we're gonna get American jobs in these STEM jobs, science, tech, engineering, and mathematics. And now he's saying Americans can't do these jobs.
And the thing is that there's a nuanced approach to this. There's a lot of American engineers who can actually fill these jobs. Just people like Elon Musk and the tech bros don't want to pay American talent. There is American talent to fill this job. Now, there may also be a need for for H1B talent as well from India and other countries. But there is American talent there as well. There's a smart, nuanced way to have conversations without just constantly saying, they're eating cats and dogs, or they're coming for, you know, they're gonna take over your house, or the fear mongering and all of that. So here's what a Democratic Senator, it's what Bernie Sanders said, actually. Bernie Sanders says the following.
Sanders goes, during the recent campaign, Donald Trump proposed a 10% cap on credit card interest rates. Great idea. Let's see if he supports the legislation that I will introduce to do just that. To be clear, it's more of an independent, but caucuses with Democrats. But here he's saying, okay, you want to do the 10% cap on credit card interest rates? Then let's do it. The other thing that Bernie Sanders is saying, and he penned a entire op-ed in The Guardian, is, all right, you're having RFK Jr. say, make America healthy again. Let's talk about health. And I think Bernie realizes, Senator Sanders realizes, that Americans are focused on health. housing, education. Those are top of the mind issues to Americans and Trump's not going to deliver on his promises.
