On a joint journey.
Republican lawmakers, senators, and Congress members alike have been inundating the White House and specifically Donald Trump's chief of staff with calls yelling at her and yelling at this regime. Republican lawmakers are yelling at them for focusing on running Venezuela. And the polling from YouGov and any other legitimate polling agency is showing that overwhelmingly 60, 70, 80% of American people, based on how these questions are asked, do not want the United States running Venezuela. Should the United States prioritize Venezuela over America? It's like only 7% of people support that. And I guess in that 7% is Donald Trump and his cabinet who keep talking about we're running Venezuela. It's our country now.
Delcy Rodriguez does what I tell her to do. This is my territory. We're the predator, Donald Trump says. And Republican lawmakers are like, hello, this is an election year. This is 2026 and right now you keep talking about invading Greenland and you keep talking about running Venezuela and how Colombia and Cuba and Mexico are next. The American people hate this and the Republicans are getting massive backlash. Here's the latest from Reuters that has a great scoop on this. After the president announced on Saturday that US would run Venezuela, Republican lawmakers inundated the White House with calls, insisting the only country Trump should be running right now is the United States. Stop with the Venezuela stuff.
The article goes on to talk about how Susie Wiles has been basically trying to convince Donald Trump that keep on talking about Venezuela is not a winning issue. The article goes on to say top White House aides are openly frustrated that Trump and senior officials continue to talk about foreign affairs and taking over different countries and that they're not talking about affordability. It goes on to talk about in multiple White House meetings focused on the economy since November, Donald Trump always pivots to talk about his personal grievances and then he just puts out a bunch of lies about the economy and people are just fed up about this. It goes on to say, Republicans on Capitol Hill have privately questioned, why is Trump not more focused on domestic priorities at all?
He needs to stay focused on things that voters care about, not renaming buildings and other things that are not in the kitchen table category. They then talked about that Donald Trump did this retreat at the Kennedy Center, which Trump vandalized and called the Trump Kennedy Center. And Republicans have referred to it as an 84-minute speech wandering through his grievances and cultural war issues. And it goes on to talk about how the MAGA coalition is being ripped apart and how people just do not want to see this crap. Now, contrast this, contrast this, and this is one of the fears that the White House has. Contrast this to what is taking place and just say New York, right? In New York, you have Zoran Mamdani, the New York City mayor, joining forces with Kathy Hochul, the New York governor, to extend childcare services to hundreds of thousands of more children, to extend the idea and to try to make the reality of universal childcare a possibility in New York.
More work needs to be done there. But in eight days, Zoran Mamdani does this announcement with Hochul to actually deliver for the people of New York.
