CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten laid out how President Donald Trump has been one of the most influential presidents so far this century as net migration to the United States drops to historic levels.

Enten showed data during a segment on CNN noting that the United States is on track to have negative net migration for the first time in 50 years. Not only has Trump's deportation efforts ramped up since January, but the administration says recent labor data shows there have been over 1 million self-deportations so far.

Enten explained that Trump is also an influential president because tariff rates are at an all-time high, currently sitting at 18% compared to 2% during the same time last year.

Trump's tariffs have become a 'not trivial' source of revenue for the federal government.

Nearly four months after the New York Times characterized Trump's approach as a "burn-it-down-first, figure-out-the-consequences-later recklessness," the paper admitted on Sunday that the tariffs are already netting a great deal of money for the government.

The Times' Washington, D.C., tax policy reporter Andrew Duehren confirmed on Sunday that Trump's recent assertion that "Tariffs are bringing Billions of Dollars into the USA!" was correct.

Revenue and reciprocity are the twin benefits of the Trump tariffs.

It must be a huge bitch for the Times to admit that they're wrong.  They're pretty much saying "We're wrong." through gritted teeth.

It was a painful admission for them.

President Trump is once again clamping down on government weaponization, this time against corrupt and discriminatory financial institutions.

Some big banks have a steady track record of participating in "government-directed" surveillance programs that single out and punish conservatives. Under former President Joe Biden's administration, some banks were directed to flag individuals who made transactions that involved terms like "Trump" or "MAGA" or with companies like Cabela's and Bass Pro Shop.

In response to this abuse, Trump's signed an executive order Thursday that will prohibit politically motivated debanking and protect hardworking Americans.

That was such a blatant abuse of his office. If the media had not been his de facto press secretary they would have made it front page.

Mr Trump made good on yet another campaign promise last week, brokering a historic peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan — two nations that have been spilling blood for decades over territory in the Caucasus Mountains.

Trump pulled off this latest deal after securing peaceful resolutions between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cambodia and Thailand, and India and Pakistan. Trump, now on a roll, appears poised to bring an end to the war in Ukraine.

Mr Trump announced on Friday that he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15.

Trump Placing D.C. Metropolitan Police Department Under Direct Federal Control and Activating National Guard



President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he is taking major steps to address rampant crime in Washington, DC, "officially invoking section 740 of the district of Columbia Home Rule Act" and "placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control," in addition to activating the National Guard.

Trump made the major declaration during a highly-anticipated press conference on D.C. crime Monday morning, declaring it "Liberation Day" in the nation's capital.

"This is Liberation Day in D.C., and we're going to take our capital back. We're taking it back. Under the authorities vested in me as the President of the United States, I'm officially invoking section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act — you know what that is — and placing the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control, and you'll be meeting the people that will be directly involved with that," Trump revealed right off the bat.

"Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people, and we're not going to let it happen anymore," Trump declared.

DC is another democRAT success story. They successfully kept in democRATic hands despite sixty years of destruction.

Amazon, AT&T, Walmart — they all use foreign call centers. Tariffs could make them hire Americans again instead of chasing cheap labor abroad.

There are so many Demoratic stronghold cities that the federal government should take over policing from.
