‘Potty mouth’ Democrats have some new fighting words we can’t put in this headline

Profanity isn’t new in politics. But it’s reaching new heights on the left. 1/2

 

When Rep. Jasmine Crockett reacted to President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress on Tuesday evening, profanity leaped effortlessly from her lips: “Somebody slap me and wake me the fuck up because I’m ready to get on with it.” Just a few days earlier, when asked of her message to Elon Musk, she told him to “Fuck off.”

 

Ken Martin, the new chair of the Democratic National Committee, took a more Midwestern approach: “Go to hell,” he said, adding later on X: “I said what I said.” Meanwhile, Senate Democrats launched coordinated social media videos fact checking Trump, each of them calling his claims “shit that ain’t true.”

 

In the earliest weeks of Trump’s second term, Democrats have careened from strategy to strategy to respond to him, often ineffectually. But one unifying thread as they try to invigorate their connection to the American voter has been a reach for profanity.

 

Democrats are cursing up a storm.“Goddamn it, tell me who started that?”said Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, a frequent purveyor of profanity.

 

Cursing is, of course, not new in politics. Among operatives, principals and journalists, it is a familiar way to broker instant bonhomie. Nor is it new for the Democratic Party, particularly when confronting Trump: Former DNC Chair Tom Perez frequently deployed profanity in 2017 in stump speeches, saying, for example, that Trump didn’t “give a shit about health care.”

 

the breadth of swearing is unmistakable, newly fashionable among members of a party in the wilderness who are looking for shortcuts to authenticity to channel voters’ rage.

 

In recent days, Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona said he wanted the “intern” at the National Republican Campaign Congressional Committee who posted “racist shit” on X fired. And appraising the landscape of Trump’s America, Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii noted this week that the “stock market is down but at least everything is more expensive and services are getting shittier.”

 

Politics, the late Andrew Breitbart once observed, is downstream of culture. And linguistically speaking, Democrats are up a certain creek.

 

Trump beat them to it, using curses increasingly in his march back to the White House, though for some Democrats it is part of their native tongue.

 

“I mean, I was swearing before Trump, so I can’t really blame it on him,” Gallego told POLITICO. “I’m gonna blame it more on being in the Marines for as long as I was.”

 

Now, Democrats are seeking to bottle up their impolite words and serve them up the maw of an increasingly coarse and foul-tongued populace.

 

“Some of it is genuine, some of it is people trying to seem faux-edgy authentic,” said Lis Smith, the Democratic adviser whose profanity is so legendary that her f-bombs played a hand in earning Amazon’s otherwise wholesome documentary on Pete Buttigieg in 2021 an “R” rating.“If the first time you’ve used a cuss word in public is reading off a script, it’s probably not authentic and not something you should do.”

 

It’s also become part of Democrats’ increased social media strategy. After posting their “shit that ain’t true” videos on social media, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer made one “breaking down the BS Trump told” during his joint address. (The top Senate Democrat didn’t go as far as saying bullshit in the video though — opting instead for “bull.”)

 

It is not always working. Last month, when Democrats joined federal workers at a rally of the American Federation of Government Employees to protest DOGE cuts, the profanities nearly rivaled those gathered.

 

“I don’t swear in public very well, but we have to fuck Trump,” said Rep. Maxine Dexter(D-Ore.), adding, “Please don’t tell my children that I just did that.” (These people are really sick!)

The awkward formulation — which landed less like a diss and more like a proposition — was roundly mocked.

“The key to doing it and doing it well is that you can’t overdo it and you can’t force it,” said Caitlin Legacki, a Democratic campaign veteran.“If elected officials are going to cuss, they have to mean it.If it’s authentic to who they are and how they’re feeling, voters will probably be fine with it and even relate to it. But if it’s not authentic, there’s nothing more cringeworthy.”

 

But there is also something more guttural in Democrats’ appeal to a deeply unsettled base.

 

“The truth is that we’re driven by the same things most people are — like anger at honest folks being denied a fair shot – and we need to prove it by showing fight,” said Andrew Bates, who worked for the famously foul-mouthed-in private Joe Biden. “One way to do that is to call out that Trump’s whole campaign was about lower costs right away – his words – but now he’s raising those costs with tariffs that will fund a tax handout for the rich; and yes, that is bullshit and it shows his true colors and we should be eager to say it.”

 

Democrats concede their party can’t just be all talk.

 

“In this existential moment, the Democratic base does want to see their leaders fighting back. But at the end of the day, that means successful legislative and legal maneuvers — not just the occasional f-bomb on a podcast,” said one Democratic speechwriter, granted anonymity to assess the party’s rhetoric.

 

This person, acknowledging “mad as hell” vibes in the party, added, “Some of it is an expression of authentic outrage at Trump smashing Democratic norms and institutions. Some of it is that — between Trump and his acolytes — the bar’s been lowered on how we expect public officials to comport themselves.”

 

Deeper still, some Democrats see a core moral failing in the public profanities.

 

“Democrats who think that vulgarity and dehumanization are reliable, appropriate or beneficial ways to advance their political interests profoundly misunderstand what has happened in our politics and what is required in this moment,” said Michael Wear, Barack Obama’s former faith outreach adviser and the founder, president and CEO of the Center for Christianity and Public Life, and author of “The Spirit of Our Politics.” “These are not tools that can be used in the service of any political goals. These things promote the very distrust, estrangement and animosity which is the fuel for the reckless, antagonistic politics Democrats — and all of us — ought to reject.”

 

Crockett’s f-bomb got some attention back in her district. She said at the Capitol on Thursday that people called the pastor at her church to “tattle” on her. (Though Crockett added her pastor said he approved her message: “He’s not going to be the one to try to rein me in.”)

 

For now, she is unrepentant. She said her answer was “real” and reflected her frustration with Trump and Musk’s actions.

 

“Like I have a potty mouth, especially when I’m mad,” she said. “We’re working on it. We’re going to pray about it.”

 

Democrats are never genuine and have terrible strategies

Left’s Attempts To Help Disabled Workers May Be Doing More Harm Than Good

Ireland Owens March 9, 20251/2

While various Democrats and disability rights groups have beenadvocating in recent years for disabled workers to get paid higher wages, slashing certain low-wage job programs could potentially harmfully impact such workers.

 

Many workers with intellectual or developmental disabilities rely on sub-minimum wage job programs, which were established under section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to allow employers to pay workers with disabilities less than the federal minimum wage.

 

Various disability advocacy organizations andDemocratic lawmakers in recent years have been calling for states to abolish job programs that pay sub-minimum wages, claiming that they are unjust and exploitative.

 

But some experts have warned that eliminating jobs that pay sub-minimum wages would actually end up reducing work opportunities for disabled individuals. There are also some concerns that raising the minimum wage could drive up costs for consumers and also lead to employers reducing employment of low-wage workers or adopting technological replacements for such workers, such as self-checkout kiosks.

 

“Obviously the main issue is that there are people out there withsevere cognitive, developmental or physical disabilities that would find it incredibly difficult to find paid employment at ordinary minimum wage range,” Ryan Bourne, an economic expert at the Cato Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Just simply because, for various reasons, because of their productivity challenges, because of their need for constant supervision, for the fact that they may need to do tasks in modified ways that are costly to employers, a lot of employers just would not find it profitable to hire them. And so, if you raise their wage in line for the general prevailing wage for a job, if you’re an employer, you’re going to on the margin hire the person who is most likely going to do the job productively without needing all this special attention.”

 

Notably, people with disabilities working sub-minimum wage jobs are required to be paid commensurately “based on the worker’s individual productivity, no matter how limited,” in proportion to the wage and productivity of experienced workers who do not have disabilities performing essentially the same type of work, according to the Department of Labor.

 

“The main problem with abolishing sub-minimum wages is that it’s going to severely reduce job opportunities for those with the most severe disabilities,” Bourne said.

 

A slew of states introduced legislation in the past few years to begin phasing out sub-minimum wage programs, including Nevada, California and Virginia.In January, Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed a bill into law that will eliminate sub-minimum wages in his state by 2030.

 

In Washington state, which passed a bill in 2021 to phase out its 14(c) program, a Washington Office of theSuperintendent of Public Instruction survey published in 2023 found that 25.73% of the state’s students with disabilities had not enrolled in higher education or engaged in employment opportunities within a year after leaving high school.

 

Moreover, the Biden-Harris administration’s Department of Labor (DOL) announced a proposed rule in December 2024 aimed at gradually phasing out the issuance of section 14(c) certificates. An estimated 38,524 individuals earned sub-minimum wages in the U.S.as of July 2024, according to DOL data collected by the Association Of People Supporting Employment First.

 

In 2023, roughly 789,000 workers in the U.S. had wages below the federal minimum, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Quite often, these [sub-minimum wage] jobs kind of offer structure, supervision and training that would not normally exist in typical wage environments,” Bourne explained to the DCNF. “The main reason many families of disabled workers kind of highly value these jobs is not the level of pay, which is often relatively low, but because these tasks and going to work regularly provides a source of self-worth, independence and structure to people who don’t have many opportunities because of their disabilities.”

 

The total number of employed individuals with disabilities of working age increased by 1.52 million post-pandemic, increasing from 4.7 million in the first quarter of 2020 to 6.22 million in the first quarter of 2024, according to the DOL.

 

Still, many Democrats have continued to call for the elimination of sub-minimum wage employment in the U.S. in recent years, including Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who wrote in a December 2024 post on X that sub-minimum wages were “unfair” and “inhumane.”

 

Similarly, Democratic Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth criticized sub-minimum wages in a January 2021 post on X, stating that they were “outdated” and “exploitative.” Meanwhile, Democratic Washington Sen. Patty Murray claimed in a social media post the same month that employers paying workers sub-minimum wages was “discrimination” and “unconscionable.”

 

Despite Democrats’ ongoing attempts to abolish sub-minimum wages, some Republican lawmakers have argued in favor of the 14(c) program, such as Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, who wrote in a Wednesday post on X that abolishing sub-minimum wages for workers would hurt disabled individuals.

 

“Workshops like MARVA in Russellville and similar organizations are a true blessing to their client-workers, their families, customers, and all Arkansans,” Cotton wrote in the social media post. “Getting rid of the 14c rule would do serious harm to these hard-working individuals and their families.”

 

Shortly after the DOL introduced in December 2024 its proposed rule to phase out the 14(c) program, Republican North Carolina Rep. Virginia Foxx claimed in a statement that the proposal was “misguided and irresponsible” and would ultimately harm disabled workers.

 

“This is misguided and irresponsible,” Foxx wrote in the statement. “We have plenty of evidence that shows 14(c) doesn’t destroy opportunities for individuals with disabilities, it protects them. In states that have eliminated or transitioned away from the 14(c) program, those who were part of them often end up jobless and isolated. The Biden-Harris administration should withdraw this proposed rule immediately because all Americans deserve to find dignity in work.”

Who are Johnson's remaining GOP holdouts on the spending bill?

 

Rep. Thomas Massie is the only House Republican to definitively say he will vote against the bill to avert a shutdown, but several others are still undecided.

MEREDITH LEE HILL

03/10/2025, 1:48PM ET

 

Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to muscle through a stopgap spending bill to avert a government shutdown, but he doesn't have the votes locked down yet.

 

President Donald Trump is pressing the small group of GOP holdouts to fall in line ahead of the Friday shutdown deadline, and House Democratic leaders are whipping all their members to vote against the bill that would fund the government through September.

 

“I don’t think House Republicans should expect any Democratic votes to get them over the line,” said one person familiar with ongoing conversations among moderate House Democrats, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly.

 

If only Republicans vote for the stopgap bill — known as a continuing resolution or a CR — and there's full attendance, Johnson can't afford to lose more than one GOP lawmaker. The speaker predicted Monday afternoon that "the CR will pass," citing that "no one wants to shut the government down.”

 

The hard no:Rep. Thomas Massie is the only House Republican who has definitively said he will not vote to pass the stopgap spending bill — and stuck to it.

 

The undecideds:Reps. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) and Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) have said they're on the fence. The speaker and Trump are pushing fiscal hawks who normally oppose stopgap spending bills to get behind this one, with the promise of funding cuts later on this year.

 

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) have also indicated they're undecided, but that they're likely open to supporting the measure.

 

The flips:Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas), who GOP leaders were watching as a possible holdout, came out this weekend in favor of the plan, after Trump called for Republicans to support it. Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) has also indicated that she'll back it. And the House Freedom Caucus, which usually opposes stopgap funding bills on principle, have supported this plan.

 

Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), a fiscal hawk who was a key holdout on Johnson’s reconciliation budget plans last month, told a small group of reporters Monday that he’ll vote for the funding bill “in its current form." Davidson said he’ll do so despite reservations and based on promises for spending cuts later this year.

 

“Of course, I have concerns about it. But we've had assurances,” Davidson said. “I think you'll see from the kind of reactions across the political spectrum, it's about it as aggressive as we can get.”

 

House GOP leaders are planning to move the funding bill through the Rules Committee Monday evening. Senior Republicans don't expect any GOP amendments or major changes to the measure. Johnson is aiming to put the funding bill on the House floor late Tuesday afternoon, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Dem Sen. Chris Murphy caught ‘cuddling’ on date with progressive media publisher — amid separation from his wife

By Published March 10, 2025,1/2

WASHINGTON — Sen. Chris Murphy was spotted at a Washington, DC, watering hole on a datewith a progressive media mogul and strategist who’s boosted his efforts as a leading anti-Trump politician in Congress— just months after the Connecticut Democrat announced he and his wife were separating.

 

Murphy, 51, was caught “cuddling” with Courier Newsroom publisher Tara McGowan, 39, last Mondayby the bar at the Red Hen, located just one mile north of Capitol Hill in the district’s Bloomingdale neighborhood, a source told The Post, sharing a photo of the pair’s romantic rendezvous.

 

The source said Murphy wrapped his arm around McGowan’s shoulder at one point, and the two were “being cutesy” while scanning the menu together for rustic Italian fare.

 

The cozy outing took place the night before President Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress, which the senator sat out.

 

The Democratic lawmaker is apparently still married to his wife, Cathy Holahan, a lawyer based in Washington, as neither has filed for divorce in Connecticut or DC, per public court records. The couple announced they were parting ways last November.

 

A DC Dem insider told Semafor that McGowan is having a love affair with the senator— and shared a selfie of them on her private Instagram last week with the caption “not postponing joy.”

 

As of Monday morning, McGowan had deactivated her X account.

 

Murphy and his wife met at the University of Connecticut’s law school, married in 2007 and have two children together. They revealed their separation in an email first reported by the Hartford Courant after the 2024 election.

 

“After much reflection and discussion, we have decided to separate as a couple,” they wrote in a Nov. 15 missive to a close group of friends after 17 years of marriage.

 

“We do so with deep care and respect for each other, and with a focus on continuing to be friends and loving, collaborative parents to our boys whom we adore.

 

“This was a difficult decision, but we believe that it is right for us, and we are going to move onto this new path the right way,” they added. “We will continue to support each other personally and professionally. And we hope you all will stay connected with both of us.”

 

McGowan was until last year married to Michael Halle, a fellow Dem strategist and former senior adviser to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. He also served on the presidential campaigns of Buttigieg, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

 

The Courier founder and publisher filed for divorce in May 2023, citing “irreconcilable differences,” and the marriage was dissolved the following year in April, Rhode Island state court filings show.

 

A self-described “childless woman voter,” McGowan has used her personal platform and position for years at the digital outlet to promote Murphy, retweeting his TV appearances and touting his “pro-democracy” stances and policy priorities on gun control, immigration and foreign relations.

“Beyond original newsletters, podcasts + social video series,COURIER’s new national vertical will publish video opinion pieces from prominent pro-democracy leaders fighting for our rights and freedoms, like this call from U.S. Senator @ChrisMurphyCTto ban assault weapons in [America],” she reposted one of the outlet’s X messages in November 2023, two months after her final divorce proceeding hearing.

 

“Republicans wanted — demanded — border legislation. Democrats, led by @ChrisMurphyCT, negotiated a bipartisan deal,” stated another Feb. 7, 2024, X post by Courier featuring a video interviewing Murphy.

 

“Now, because of Trump’s hold over the GOP, the bill is dead. Here is Murphy on why you should never again believe Republicans when they talk about the border.”

 

Murphy has emerged as a leading voice of Democrats’ resistance to Trump, sounding the alarm in an interview with the New York Times last month that his party’s “political brand is fundamentally broken, the rule of law is disintegrating and a lot of people still don’t know what Trump’s actual agenda is.”

 

More recently, McGowan had been constantly reposting his X account’s videos as well as TV hits.

 

“Trump sides with dictators [because] it legitimizes his plan for America: A Russian-style kleptocracy where the rich steal from us to enrich themselves,” Murphy said in a post sharing a March interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Dana Bash, which was retweeted by McGowan.

 

Critics of Courier — which was founded in 2019, is backed by Acronym and has since been acquired by McGowan’s latest venture, Good Information, Inc. — have charged that it’s a liberal dark money outfit “masquerading as a news outlet,” though the FEC unanimously dismissed a complaint claiming that.

 

At least one former Courier employee dished to NOTUS last March, however, that the purpose of the eight-newsroom outlet, positioned in several key swing states, “was to get persuadable voters engaged with unassuming content” on their social media feeds before linking out to “political persuasion content.”

 

The for-profit news organization —funded by the liberal billionaires George Soros and Reid Hoffman — is also one of several lefty pop-up groups that McGowan has founded since the first Trump administration.

 

In 2017, she co-founded Lockwood Strategy, a political campaign firm that helped Virginia Democrats retake the state legislature within two years. Digital ads rolled out by Lockwood also helped clients such as Planned Parenthood and the National Democratic Redistricting Committee.

 

McGowan the same year also set up a political action committee, PACRONYM, which raised more than $18 million to oppose Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign, per federal election campaign filings, and a left-wing 501(c)(4) called ACRONYM.

 

Both raked in millions from dark-money donors— with the latter becoming infamous as the primary investor in a glitchy app that botched vote results during the 2020 Democratic Iowa caucuses, delaying the tally for days, the Intercept previously reported.

 

Reps for Murphy’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Neither did McGowan, Halle or Holahan.

==POLICY ISSUES / WOKE AND WEAPONIZED

Digging for DEI Dollars: Watchdog Report Identifies 460 Programs Across 24 Federal Agencies==by CRA Staff March 10, 2025

 

The Functional Government Initiative and the Center for Renewing America identify at least a trillion dollars’ worth of divisive, identity-based programs and policies among the federal thicket and make suggestions that could ensure they don’t come back.

 

(Washington, DC) – On his first day back in office, President Trump issued an executive order to eliminate “radical and wasteful” Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) “programs and preferences” from the federal government. The Biden administration embraced this “woke” agenda and embedded it across the executive branch. Ensuring these programs do not make a comeback will take a sustained effort.

 

To help the administration in this task, and to help educate the public on the scope of the problem, the Functional Government Initiative (FGI) and the Center for Renewing America (CRA) have published DEI Spending in the Biden Administration. This report traces the Biden administration’s web of DEI programs and influence throughout the government, provides numbers on how much money these programs and initiatives wasted, and offers options for Congress to consider that could root out DEI ideology permanently.

 

A crucial guide to uncovering the myriad DEI expenditures, both small and large, were the “Equity Action Plans” (EAPs) that President Biden demanded across the government. The Biden administration claimed that these plans were designed to identify and remove barriers keeping federal resources from “marginalized” or “underserved” communities, particularly in areas like procurement, contracting, and grant opportunities. In reality, the systemic focus on DEI poisoned federal governance, contributing to the substantial increase in related spending and diverting resources toward controversial policies, away from agency missions. The Biden administration forcibly inserted the language of DEI into every corner of the executive branch.

 

The study identified 460 programs across 24 government agencies that diverted resources to DEI initiatives.At least $1 trillion was infused with DEI principles. Here are some examples taken from various EAPs:

 

The Defense Department planned to “Integrate environmental/economic justice tools.”

FEMA found the need to “Install equity as a foundation of emergency management.”

The Department of Labor “must embed equity in a sustainable manner that recognizes the multiple and overlapping identities held by workers.”

President Trump’s swift actions and executive orders stopped these efforts. To ensure a future president can’t just reverse course upon taking office, Congressional action could banish DEI philosophies for good. Our report includes suggestions for lawmakers to consider for eliminating DEI and other radical ideologies—detailed legislative proposals that could prevent the resurrection of poisonous ideas and practices in our national government.

 

Wade Miller, Senior Advisor for CRA, issued the following statement:

 

“DEI is deeply rooted throughout all aspects of the federal government, and it needs to be eliminated completely. Thankfully, the Trump administration has already embarked on a vitally necessary complete audit of each and every government program. We offer, in this report, what we hope are additional resources and tools that the new administration and Congress can use to identify, destroy, and permanently remove DEI from the federal government.”

 

Roderick Law, spokesman for FGI, issued the following statement:

 

“The dual study could both expedite the elimination of DEI from the executive branch and show just how quickly pernicious ideologies can spread inside the government. The nature of DEI is both divisive and anti-American, so why force it onto the military, the Commerce Department, or the EPA? After President Biden lavishly funded and pushed these controversial principles into every possible area of government, our hope is that raising these questions and offering Congress and responsible executive branch officials tools and suggestions can keep it from happening again.”

‘Democrats Are In Such Disarray’: Charlamagne, Andrew Schulz Cast Doubt On Dems’ Odds Of Regaining Power In 2028

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God and comedian Andrew Schulz on Monday cast doubt about the Democrats’ chances of regaining power in the 2028 election.

 

Some have suggested that Democrats currently lack a strong leader and the party has received backlash for its behavior during President Donald Trump’s Tuesday congressional address as well as its recent messaging.When Charlamagne said on “The Breakfast Club” that he anticipates Americans choosing a typical conservative Republican as president in 2028 due to the Democrats’ current state of “disarray,” Schulz said that is a possibility.

 

WATCH:

“I don’t think Democrats are going to win so easily in 2028,” Charlamagne said. “I think because the Democrats are in such disarray, America will say, ‘You know what, just give me a sensible Republican. Just give me a traditional conservative.Like, give me a Nikki Haley, just somebody, just a regular conservative. I can deal with that.’ I think that’s what’s gonna happen.”(NEVER Nikki, Once you’ve had Trump, we want someone like him, Trump is a sensible Republican==)

 

“That could definitely happen,” Schulz responded. (No It can’t! You know it!)

 

The comedian then explained what he thinks the Democrats must do to reclaim control of the government and what he believes they are doing wrong.

 

“There just has to be something like radical and disruptive on the Democrat side. And I think that they’re all concerned,” he said. “They’re playing this like prevent defense and they’re really concerned about like ostracizing a group, like, ‘If I say this, will women be upset? If I say this, will black people be upset? If I say this, will trans be upset?’ And it’s actually like a harder position to be in to be a Democrat. You’re the party of progress. You have to push shit forward.”

 

“Conservatives are actually trying to pull shit back. It’s a way easier position to be in to be like, ‘Alright, we went too far forward.’ But I think what Democrats need to do is just start listening to everyday working-class people,” he continued. “Like I think Democrats are too stuck in the Ivy League. There’s too much like pretentious finger-wagging. That’s not what everyday Americans are and you need to get the working class back immediately.”

 

Schulz similarly told podcast host Joe Rogan on “The Joe Rogan Experience” Thursday that Democrats will keep losing elections if they do not cease talking “down” to Americans. The comedian had interviewed Trump on his “Flagrant” podcast in October and told Rogan that his impression of the president was that he was “an acute listener,” asserting he feels that Democrats lack this key trait.

 

“It doesn’t seem like it when you see him on the news and shit, but he’s like an acute listener. Like, he listens to what people are saying, and he listens, more importantly, [to] what they’re feeling, and he can tap into those feelings,” Schulz told Rogan. “And I think that’s what people who have had a lot of success in politics were able to do. [Former President] Barack [Obama] did it. [Former President] Bill Clinton did it.”

 

Trump has also promoted policies that the American public widely supports, including banning biological males from female sports, deporting illegal immigrants and reducinggovernment waste. Moreover,the Democratic Party’s approval rating plummeted close to an all-time low of 31% among registered voters, according to Quinnipiac University polling released on Jan.29.
