...the daily news is about politicians’ f-bombs, government shutdowns, Trump’s social media trolling, and street violence. But the facts tell a different story of national recovery from the self-inflicted disasters of the recent past.
Authored by Victor Davis Hanson: The
left wing and media rage hysterically from one Trump psychodrama to the
next, while President Donald Trump trolls both on social media.
But all that is verbiage.
What
matters is the data and facts of Trump’s first nine months since Jan.
20, 2025, in comparison to either former President Joe Biden’s prior
year or the averages of his four years in office.
Take the border. No
one knows how many illegal aliens entered—or stayed in—the U.S. during
Biden’s four years of open borders. What is clear is that he set a
presidential record of well over seven million illegal entrants.
The
border under Trump is now tightly closed. Prior to his administration,
it was common for 10,000 people to cross illegally in a single day. In
just nine months, approximately two million illegal aliens have been
deported or self-deported. The rate of border crossings is now the
lowest it’s ever been since 1970.
