The mainstream media hates President Trump. We all know that. Every biased headline is meant to damage and demonize Trump.
That’s why we call them “the FAKE NEWS media.”
For instance, did you know yesterday was one of the most significant days in modern American history? Yesterday was the 10th anniversary of the day Donald J. Trump came down the escalator at Trump Tower to announce his candidacy for President of the United States.
Our country and our lives would never be the same.
That famous date was June 16, 2015. Not many people- not even Republicans- were aware back then of how life-changing that moment was.
It was the moment that created MAGA and “America First.”
It was the moment that put the fear of God (for the first time ever) into the Deep State and DC Swamp.
It was the moment that destroyed the GOP establishment.
It was the moment that ended all the biggest dynasties of U.S. politics- Obama, Clinton, Bush, McCain, Romney- Trump destroyed them all.
Who would have imagined all of that?
I’m proud to say I was one of the few people in America who knew what Trump was about to announce. Donald Trump wrote me a handwritten note the day before and told me, “Wayne, you’re going to really like my announcement tomorrow.”
Because I knew what was coming, I wrote a commentary for Fox News that was released moments after Trump’s announcement. It was titled, “Donald J. Trump is the Next President of the United States.”
Trump was at 1% in the polls at that moment. He had a presidential campaign staff of two people- Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowsky and Press Secretary Hope Hicks.
So, few took Trump’s presidential run seriously.
But I knew the man at 1% in the polls, with two campaign workers, would win because of two issues…
The disaster of illegal immigration and the plight of working class/middle class Americans.
Nothing has changed in 10 years. Those are the two issues that won Trump the presidency in 2016. Those are the two issues that won him the presidency in 2024. Those are the two issues that won him 214 million combined votes over three presidential elections- the most of any President in history. Those are still the two issues that matter today- above all else.
And on those two issues, Trump is not only winning, he’s hitting GRAND SLAM HOME RUNS.
Despite all the controversy and negative headlines in the mainstream media, Trump is still riding high in the polls (at least the honest, accurate polls). The media, and the Trump haters, can’t understand why. Just like none of them could understand how I saw Trump as the next President of the United States, when Trump came down that escalator.
It’s for the same two reasons- the two issues that dominate above all else…the two issues that matter more than all the others combined…the two issues that elected Donald J. Trump all those years ago…
The disaster of illegal immigration and the plight of working class/middle class Americans.
So, here are the two most important news stories in America that the media won’t tell you…
First, Trump was elected to secure our open border and stop the foreign invasion of America. And just yesterday (perfect timing on the 10thanniversary of Trump’s life-changing announcement) we found out President Trump is reversing mass migration.
For the first time in 50 years, more people are leaving the USA than arriving.
This report comes from the bastion of liberal mainstream media- The Washington Post. They reported on economists from Washington DC think tanks who see a combination of a near-total shutdown of the southern border, combining with Trump’s mass deportation, and his removal of foreign students from colleges, adding up to this record-setting net outflow of immigrants.
“The first time in 50 years.” Let that sink in.
This is why Trump was elected (in my opinion, three times). This is why he got 214 million combined votes- the most in history. This is why he remains so popular today. Trump has delivered on his campaign priority- ending the disaster of illegal immigration and stopping the foreign invasion.
This is exactly what the American people wanted. And Trump has delivered.
The second most important news story in America you probably haven’t heard about is the other Trump priority, and the other reason Trump was elected- solving the plight of working class/middle class Americans.
We found out today that blue-collar wage growth in the first five months of Trump’s second term saw the largest increase in nearly 60 years.
60 years. Let that sink in.
Not only is blue-collar wage growth up nearly 2% under Trump 2.0…this compares to blue-collar wage growth going down nearly 2% in the first five months of Biden’s presidency.
But Trump beat every president in modern history by a mile. Obama’s first five months produced a decline in blue-collar wage growth…Bill Clinton produced a decline…George W Bush produced a decline…Ronald Reagan produced a decline…George HW Bush produced a decline…Jimmy Carter produced zero growth…and although Nixon produced a rare gain, Trump more than doubled Nixon’s positive results.
Now you know why Trump is still riding high in the polls.
Now you know why a majority of voters believe America is headed in the right direction for the first time in modern history (Rasmussen).
Now you know why a majority of Americans rate the economy as strong for the first time in years. (Harvard/Harris X).
Now you know why Trump has majority support among even black and Latino voters (Rasmussen).
It’s been 10 years since President Trump came down that escalator. And he has delivered GRAND SLAM HOME RUNS on the two things that Americans care about, above all others. Bravo!
Thank you, President Trump. And…
Happy Anniversary.
