Donald Trump has become so accustomed to mocking female political adversaries it will now cost him dearly in the 2026 midterms. Trump's strongest card to keep his Congressional majority was right in front of him, yet he and his testerone laden homies were too pedantic so see it.
Border Czar Kamala Harris was the campaign message that never stopped giving. In 2023, Harris refused to go to the border because she did not want to be photographed anywhere near a location that would have varnished her imaginary image as a successful politician.
Meanwhile, no one in the Trump administration did the most important math of all. Biden's Border Czar Kamala Harris let in more net Undocumented in 28 months than the prior 4 Presidents had let in, in the prior 28 years.
If Harris had been elected President in 2024, The U.S. may have had another 10 million net Undocumented on top of the prior 10 million, with the mainstream media shaming Americans for being so "unwelcoming", while most of the incoming eligible for State and City Instant Entitlements, Fraud would have been through the roof, and Iran would be so well armed an inevitable war in the Middle East was sure to follow.
But Trump lost his way because Trump has one bigly weakness, he can only see a present and future perceived adversary, having to turn around and remind the American Public they would be worse off if Harris had been elected, was literally Trump's Trump card, but Trump's "in the moment" wielding of power made him focus only on the present, when Trump should have been looking backwards to the biggest threat Kamala Harris possessed, smiling and charming the public while openly lying about Undocumented numbers and policy.
Then there is the Stephen Miller quandry, Stephen Miller has been given way too much policy power by Trump. Just because Joe Biden and his border czar Kamala Harris let in more Undocumented in 28 months than had been let in in the prior 28 years, does not give Miller the credo to declare every Undocumented as equivalent lawbreakers.
The 28 months versus 28 years net undocumented statistic is so powerful, the White House focusing primarily on the Biden Undocumented, while EXCLUDING Biden / Harris entrants who actually came to the U.S. to go to college, legitimately went to classes, did not accept instant entitlements, and did not participate in extremist campus protesting, should have been a big enough pond to focus on.
Instead, Miller convinced Trump to call everyone who stepped into the U.S. as an Undocumented, as being equally corrupt and evil, which in turn created a huge an Anti Trump public relations opportunity for the mainstream media. A public relations nightmare so pervasive, it most likely played a role in trump taking on Iran BEFORE the 2026 midterms, which in turn gave the media more ammunition to blowback against the White House.
Stephen Miller's 3,000 undocumented capture per day agenda was so poorly thought out it actually may create congressional gridlock over the final 2 years of Trump's 2nd term administration.
Because Trump has to always win, or make it seem like he has won, a move Trump could make that would create harmony would be to resign before the 2 year mark, which would make Trump eligible to run again for a full term if he wanted to, and would prevent the inevitable gridlock the U.S. most likely headed towards after the 2026 mid terms.
If only Trump had created a more peaceful, creative ICE process, one which financially incentivize the removal of Undocumented with more than just a plane ticket, and avoided Undocumented who had been in the U.S. from before Biden, had never broken any additional U.S. Laws, paid taxes, and were not in any gangs, Trump could have been sitting pretty good right now.
