Donald Trump Breaks His Record in New Poll

Almost double the number who believe Biden will win.
Of course as I write this, it's not looking like Biden will even be in the contest now.






So, only half the nation thinks he will win and you all are celebrating that as good news?
 
Nobody with any sense of decency and five working brain cells is buying the convicted felon lies.
Nobody gives a shit whether you cultroaches "buy" the fact that Trump has been convicted of 34 felonies.
Your FEEWINGS don't matter.
Likewise when he is sentenced on those 34 counts in September nobody will give a shit how you MAGAts "feel" about that either.
Facts are facts and reality remains the same and constant irregardless of how you may feel about it, so get over yourself.
And Trump wasn’t trounced. He lost by a very small number of ballots
Biden won the election with 306 electoral votes and 51.3% of the national popular vote, compared to Trump's 232 electoral votes and 46.9% of the popular vote.
that appeared AFTER the liars shut down the count in five swing states where Trump was in the lead.
For the thousandth time.....62 federal court challenges attempted and LOST by Trump's attorneys say otherwise and you can't PROVE anything different.
Again your FEEWINGS about any of it do not matter.

Say hello to President Trump in January 2024, and try to get your tantrum under control.
 
Prepare for dissapointment again.
You’re really THAT confident that a majority of voters in swing states will fall for the Democrat lies? Or are you just that confident that your party can cheat their way to a win again?
 
MagicMike

Prepare yourself. Harris is way behind Trump in three swing states, and actually polls worse than Biden, and one of the states is PA.


Then add in Georgia, and Trump is ahead by as many as 10 points over Harris.


Translation: Once Trump takes PA and GA, in the eastern time zone, any path to victory for the Dems is closed. They can cry about broken water pipes and wail about being tired, send the Republican observers out of the room, and then truck in the harvested ballots, and….IT WILL NOT MAKE A WHIT OF DIFFERENCE.

I am confident that a majority of swing voters are already bummed out at their choices for candidates. MAGAts gonna stick with the convict no matter what. He could literally rape little children in the middle of 5th Avenue in front of the TV cameras and by the end of the day you cultroaches would have a story spun that either it didn't really happen or somehow the children deserved it.
Swing voters don't really like, trust, or believe Trump....but compared to what they witnessed on stage at that debate a few weeks ago he's now the lesser of the evils in their minds.
I am confident that if Biden stays in the race he will lose to the convicted felon and project 2025 and this great Americsn experiment over 240 years in the making will effectively be over.
I am confident that if Biden drops out and Harris is allowed ti form her own ticket then swing viters will become newly energized by that and then by late summer the polls will start reflecting what an absolutely shitty candidate convicted felon Trump has been all along.
Especially after his mini-trial begins in Chutkan's courtroom rehashing all the Jan. 6th evidence against him for voters to see again AND he gets sentenced for his 34 felonies.

That’s not what the polls are saying, and what you are “confident” of is meaningless.

Harris has not even begun campaining yet.
I will admit she will not be starting from the strongest position. ANYTHING has to be an improvement from Joe though.
Kamala is a highly experienced prosecutor though and she will know how best to use Trump's legal problems (and his connection to Project 2025) against him in her messaging.
Also, the Truth about Kamala is that nobody really knows who she is.
I mean really KNOWS.
The Biden admin has pretty much kept her locked in a closet for the last 4 years.
All the public has to go on is the MAGAt cultroach narrative about her, which probably isn't even remotely accurate.
Take the "border czar" narrative for instance.
Trump's fake statistics and claims that Biden/Harris are at fault for rampant ilkegal immigration are simply garbage.
Completely untrue.
Biden/Harris have brought good border security bills before Congress that have been voted down at Trump's insistence.
Biden, for obvuous reasons has been unable to effectively articulate this (and everything else) to swing voters.
Kamala will be able to.

Blacks hate her because she was all-in on sticking black men in prison for relatively minor drug offenses. Blacks are ALREADY pissed that the Dems have incentivized 11 million illegals to come in and compete with low-income blacks for jobs, housing, food, rent.

Now you can be sure that Harris will make the focus of her campaign on “helping black people,” but I don’t want someone who sees herself as president of 13% of Americans.

Finally, all your vitriol about the “MAGA cockroach” culture will continue to turn off DECENT PEOPLE…..so keep talking.
 
And yet Biden is ahead in the actual polls. Oops.

That didn't work out well for Republicans in 2022. All the MSM declared DemocratsAreDoomed, and Democrats still romped.

You're free to remain cocky and confident, but first of all your link TODAY, at this minute has it as 50/50. Second, if the party were as confident (or delusional) as you seem to be, there would not be this constant drumbeat to throw Joe under the bus.

I don't recall exactly what Trump's claims are, BUT, Biden is DIRECTLY responsible for the huge increase of third-worlders flooding in to the country!!

Yes, we always had problems, but in 2019 at one of the very first Dim debates, Biden said the following, that if he should become president.......................................

Biden in 2019: The Fact​

A video clipping of Biden speaking at a debate prior to general elections in 2019 clearly shows him say, 'Surge the borders.' "I would in fact make sure that there is immediately a surge to the border. They deserve to be heard. That's who we are. "We're a nation that says, 'You want to flee, and you're fleeing oppression, you should come,'" Biden had told during a debate moderated by Univision's Jorge Ramos in 2019.

Then, before his bags were even unpacked at the WH, he put an end to Trump-era border security measures, as well as an immediate end to border wall construction. It's no accident, that IMMEDIATELY thereafter, the #'s coming in became a flood like we had never seen before!

Thanks for admitting Democrats are to stupid and just sheeples. Everyone with a room temperature IQ knew he was a 7/24 nursing home patient 5 years ago.
No matter who is running, the control cabal is the same with the same goal of destroying the republic.

True words.
Biden is only restating the very principles our nation is founded on.
Then, before his bags were even unpacked at the WH, he put an end to Trump-era border security measures
Can you list these "border security measures" you credit Biden for "putting an end to," and then compare those measures to the ones in the bills that have been submitted to Congress and voted down at Trump's insistence?
I'll wait.
as well as an immediate end to border wall construction.
The "border wall" was a stupid, unworkable idea from the very beginning.
By the way sucker who swallowed the racist ruse hook, line, and sinker....has Mexico really paid for said wall yet?
Because that was the original promise.
Remember?
It's no accident, that IMMEDIATELY thereafter, the #'s coming in became a flood like we had never seen before!
So you were told.
More fake news.
If you had bothered to read news and stats from REAL sources you would understand by now that you've been lied to.....but instead you willingly let your cult program you with misinformation.
Too typical.

Why do you guys claim it's "fake news" when there are articles all over the internet that clearly shows that once Biden entered the WH, border encounters began immediately to increase? Seriously, why do you guys attempt to deny this? He told the world there needed to be an immediate "surge to the border", and since that was the OPPOSITE message that Trump sent out during his administration, obviously the #'s were going to increase, so why not simply own it? It always amazes me to see for years now the left here on these boards not acknowledging it.
Numbers are now decreasing, once Biden FINALLY took executive action, and changed asylum restrictions. Why didn't he do this from the start? We know the reason. He NEVER wanted the restrictions, and he only acted due to pressure to do something!

1721421949291.png



You need help finding the policy changes that Biden enacted once he became president? It's called 'Google'.
Numerous measures to address migration at the U.S.-Mexico border were implemented during President Donald Trump’s term, many of which were highly controversial. Over the past four years, policies at the southwest border have included the construction of a border wall and the apprehension and expulsion of many asylum-seeking migrants. The situation at the border became one of the Trump administration’s primary concerns, and the response was characterized by increasing restrictions and decreasing access to the United States.
Having promised to roll back many of President Trump’s immigration policies on the campaign trail, President Joe Biden’s plan to gradually undo the Trump administration’s border policies have been complicated by recent increases in the arrivals of families and children at the border. The administration is facing increasing pressure from some Democrats and immigration advocates to move quickly while Republicans have blamed the recent increases in arrivals on that very same campaign rhetoric. Regardless of the press sound bites, Biden has left many of Trump’s border policies in place, at least for now.

The Border Wall​

Trump’s Legacy
President Trump campaigned on the promise to construct a massive border wall, a project that has failed to meet expectations, with only 47 of the promised 800 miles built during his four years in office. Research on the effectiveness of border walls in deterring migrants has been largely inconclusive, yet as of October 2020, the Department of Homeland Security maintained that a physical barricade at the border works. According to the department, infrastructure added to the border wall during the Trump administration included internally hardened steel-bollard barriers, new and improved all-weather access roads, perimeter lighting, enforcement cameras, and other related technology to effectively control crime at the border and aid U.S. Border Patrol officers in its maintenance. Additionally, President Trump’s February 2019 declaration of a national emergency concerning the southern border cites “a humanitarian crisis that threatens core national security interests” and increasingly worsening unlawful migration. This declaration permitted the use of the armed forces at the border and the diversion of billions of dollars from other federal programs to construct the wall.
Biden’s Actions
On his first day in office, President Biden signed a proclamation terminating President Trump’s 2019 emergency declaration, arguing that the construction of a border wall was “not a serious policy solution” and a misuse of U.S. taxpayer dollars. In his action, President Biden paused both the construction and funding of the border wall as well as the repurposing of contracts with private contractors. However, as of March 2021, the president’s decision to freeze funds is currently under investigation, as the Government Accountability Office reviews whether or not President Biden violated congressional budget rules. Recent press reports of remarks by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas indicate that some unfinished portions of the wall may yet be constructed, but the administration’s recently-released discretionary budget proposes to rescind (send back to Congress) unused funding previously appropriated for the wall. The future of the border wall is therefore unclear.

Migrant Protection Protocols​

Trump’s Legacy
The Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), also referred to as the “Remain in Mexico” program was established in December 2018. While the MPP program was in effect, roughly 65,000 asylum seekers were sent back to Mexico to await their U.S. immigration court hearing. Migrants were provided a list of pro bono legal service providers specific to the court where their hearing would take place, but were required to independently arrange any outside counsel and transportation to their removal hearings. Although certain groups, such as unaccompanied minors and those with credible fear of persecution in Mexico, were technically exempted from the MPP process, the decision on which migrants would be returned to Mexico was at the discretion of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection or Border Patrol officer who apprehended them. This discretion led to different outcomes even for migrants who arrived together.
Biden’s Actions
The day after President Biden’s inauguration, DHS suspended new enrollments into the MPP program. In addition, a February 2021 executive order directed the DHS secretary to review and determine whether to terminate the MPP program. Roughly a week later, DHS announced that it would begin processing the approximately 25,000 active MPP cases, allowing the migrants to re-enter the United States to await their hearings. DHS is also requiring these individuals to register online with an international organization, be tested for COVID-19 in Mexico, and then arrive at a U.S. port of entry on a specific day to be readmitted to pursue their asylum claims.
Migrants accepted for return are being processed in small numbers: roughly 300 per day at each port of entry. They will not be held in detention facilities in the United States, but rather be allowed to travel to their destination and monitored through alternative technologies such as ankle bracelets.

Title 42​

Trump’s Legacy
In March 2020, the Trump administration implemented the so-called “Title 42 program” which sought to expel arriving migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border during the coronavirus pandemic. Citing the Public Health Service Act (Title 42 of the U.S. Code), which establishes the Department of Health and Human Services’ legal authority for responding to public health emergencies, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released an order suspending the entry of certain persons from countries where a quarantinable communicable disease exists. A report, updated by CDC Director Robert Redfield in October 2020, justified the order due to the increased danger of accepting new arrivals during a state of public health emergency. Because of the extreme nature of the pandemic, the order claimed that it is not subject to the Administrative Procedures Act and will remain in effect until COVID-19 is deemed to no longer be a serious danger to public health.
Biden’s Actions
As of March 2021, the Biden administration has kept the Title 42 program in place, allowing authorities to expel most migrants encountered at the border, except for unaccompanied children. Children are being allowed to enter and are processed by CBP and HHS’s office of refugee resettlement. Due to the ongoing threat of COVID-19, almost a year after Title 42’s introduction, the White House has made clear that it has no plans to revoke this order soon.

PACR and HARP​

Trump’s Legacy
Two concurrent programs, the Prompt Asylum Claim Review (PACR), which applied to non-Mexican nationals, and the Humanitarian Asylum Review Process (HARP), which applied to Mexican nationals, placed individuals not subject to MPP into an expedited removal process. Under PACR and HARP, migrants were detained in CBP facilities, and according to advocates, could not adequately prepare for their credible fear interviews beyond a brief phone call. Critics also decried the conditions of the facilities in which migrants were held. Additionally, advocates point to the dramatic drop in successful asylum screening interviews (from 74% pre-PACR/HARP down to only 23%) as evidence that migrants were not receiving due process or a fair chance to present their asylum claims in these programs. As recently as November 2020, a federal judge upheld the programs, ruling for the government in a lawsuit filed by the ACLU.
Biden’s Actions
A DHS Office of Inspector General report of PACR/HARP released January 25, 2021 noted problems in implementation including: access to counsel, representation, and facility conditions. Under a February 2, 2021 executive order, DHS was to cease the administration of these programs and to rescinding any orders, rules, regulations guidelines or policies implementing those programs.

Asylum Cooperative Agreements​

Trump’s Legacy
In 2019, the Trump administration signed three Asylum Cooperative Agreements with Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, the so-called Northern Triangle countries, which accounted for 72% of arriving migrants in fiscal year 2019. According to DHS, these agreements sought to expand asylum capabilities and improve safety, security, and prosperity throughout the region through a collaborative relationship. In practice, the agreements allowed the United States to return asylum-seeking migrants back to these countries rather than processing their cases domestically. However, only the Guatemalan ACA was implemented, and transfers to that country have been on pause since March 2020 due to COVID-19. These agreements have been heavily criticized, with a Senate report noting that zero migrants have successfully received asylum in Guatemala.
Biden’s Actions
A press statement by Secretary of State Antony Blinken on February 6, 2021 announced the suspension and termination of all three agreements. According to Sec. Blinken, the Biden administration’s new priorities will be to address the root causes of migration, protect refugees, and maintain a collaborative relationship with regional partners. However, in April 2021, the Biden Administration announced new agreements with the countries to “put more troops on their borders” to tighten them up against migration.

Asylum Regulation Changes​

Trump’s Legacy
In the final weeks of his presidency, the Trump administration rushed “midnight regulations” to implement several asylum-related policies. Of these, several have been enjoined by courts including a DHS-issued omnibus final rule significantly restricting asylum protections, as well as a third country asylum rule which established a mandatory bar to asylum eligibility for those travelling through a third country to the United States. Another December 16, 2020 rule published by the Executive Office of Immigration Review tightened procedures for asylum applications and has been finalized but was enjoined by the D.C. District Court in January. Lastly, a Trump-era final rule adding public health-related security restrictions to eligibility for asylum has been delayed until December 31, 2021. Although the courts have taken action to block some of these regulations, the Biden administration has not yet indicated how it intends to proceed with the litigation it inherited or if it will rescind the regulations.
Biden’s Actions
In his February 2 executive order on immigration, President Biden announced his plan to review additional agency regulations and policies enacted under the Trump administration. Of the actions enumerated in this order, only the Asylum Cooperative Agreements have been definitively terminated. The others, which include previous agency actions like “Termination of the Central American Minors Parole Program” and the “Order Suspending the Right to Introduce Certain Persons from Countries Where a Quarantinable Communicable Disease Exists” (Title 42) have been restarted or are currently up for review. The Biden administration plans to work with respective agency heads to determine the fate of these regulations.

The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021​

The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, introduced by Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Rep. Linda Sánchez (D-CA) is based on the Biden presidential campaign’s promise to introduce comprehensive immigration legislation early in its administration. While the centerpiece of the bill is a broad legalization program, it also tackles the border, seeking to overhaul the current legal immigration system by addressing the root causes of migration from Central America via foreign aid and investment. The bill would prioritize smart border controls by investing in new surveillance technologies to screen for and address drug smuggling, particularly at ports of entry. According to Title II of the legislation, a continued effort against crime would confront violence, extortion, money laundering and trafficking (Title II, Subtitle A, Sec. 2101).
Additionally, the Biden administration’s proposal claims to offer a more humanitarian approach towards border communities, oversee administrative conduct of border officials, and ensure adequate protocols for individuals and families in CBP custody. The bill specifically requires proper development and training of protocols regarding appropriate use of force and human rights (Title II, Subtitle A, Sec. 2103). Recent oversight of DHS, CBP, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement has resulted in numerous critical reports from NGOs, DHS’s own inspector general, and lawsuits over conditions in CBP facilities. The bill’s provisions are meant to realign border policies to focus less on punishment and deterrence and more on legal and orderly processing.
 
It is horrible that Biden told people to “surge to the border” and then rewards these illegals with stays in luxury hotels and three meals a day, meals they complain about because it’s not the cooking they’re used to.
 
Why do you guys claim it's "fake news" when there are articles all over the internet that clearly shows that once Biden entered the WH, border encounters began immediately to increase?

Two concurrent programs, the Prompt Asylum Claim Review (PACR), which applied to non-Mexican nationals, and the Humanitarian Asylum Review Process (HARP), which applied to Mexican nationals, placed individuals not subject to MPP into an expedited removal process. Under PACR and HARP, migrants were detained in CBP facilities, and according to advocates, could not adequately prepare for their credible fear interviews beyond a brief phone call. Critics also decried the conditions of the facilities in which migrants were held. Additionally, advocates point to the dramatic drop in successful asylum screening interviews (from 74% pre-PACR/HARP down to only 23%) as evidence that migrants were not receiving due process or a fair chance to present their asylum claims in these programs. As recently as November 2020, a federal judge upheld the programs, ruling for the government in a lawsuit filed by the ACLU.
Biden’s Actions
A DHS Office of Inspector General report of PACR/HARP released January 25, 2021 noted problems in implementation including: access to counsel, representation, and facility conditions. Under a February 2, 2021 executive order, DHS was to cease the administration of these programs and to rescinding any orders, rules, regulations guidelines or policies implementing those programs.

Asylum Cooperative Agreements​

Trump’s Legacy
In 2019, the Trump administration signed three Asylum Cooperative Agreements with Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, the so-called Northern Triangle countries, which accounted for 72% of arriving migrants in fiscal year 2019. According to DHS, these agreements sought to expand asylum capabilities and improve safety, security, and prosperity throughout the region through a collaborative relationship. In practice, the agreements allowed the United States to return asylum-seeking migrants back to these countries rather than processing their cases domestically. However, only the Guatemalan ACA was implemented, and transfers to that country have been on pause since March 2020 due to COVID-19. These agreements have been heavily criticized, with a Senate report noting that zero migrants have successfully received asylum in Guatemala.
Biden’s Actions
A press statement by Secretary of State Antony Blinken on February 6, 2021 announced the suspension and termination of all three agreements. According to Sec. Blinken, the Biden administration’s new priorities will be to address the root causes of migration, protect refugees, and maintain a collaborative relationship with regional partners. However, in April 2021, the Biden Administration announced new agreements with the countries to “put more troops on their borders” to tighten them up against migration.

Asylum Regulation Changes​

Trump’s Legacy
In the final weeks of his presidency, the Trump administration rushed “midnight regulations” to implement several asylum-related policies. Of these, several have been enjoined by courts including a DHS-issued omnibus final rule significantly restricting asylum protections, as well as a third country asylum rule which established a mandatory bar to asylum eligibility for those travelling through a third country to the United States. Another December 16, 2020 rule published by the Executive Office of Immigration Review tightened procedures for asylum applications and has been finalized but was enjoined by the D.C. District Court in January. Lastly, a Trump-era final rule adding public health-related security restrictions to eligibility for asylum has been delayed until December 31, 2021. Although the courts have taken action to block some of these regulations, the Biden administration has not yet indicated how it intends to proceed with the litigation it inherited or if it will rescind the regulations.
Biden’s Actions
In his February 2 executive order on immigration, President Biden announced his plan to review additional agency regulations and policies enacted under the Trump administration. Of the actions enumerated in this order, only the Asylum Cooperative Agreements have been definitively terminated. The others, which include previous agency actions like “Termination of the Central American Minors Parole Program” and the “Order Suspending the Right to Introduce Certain Persons from Countries Where a Quarantinable Communicable Disease Exists” (Title 42) have been restarted or are currently up for review. The Biden administration plans to work with respective agency heads to determine the fate of these regulations.

The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021​

The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, introduced by Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Rep. Linda Sánchez (D-CA) is based on the Biden presidential campaign’s promise to introduce comprehensive immigration legislation early in its administration. While the centerpiece of the bill is a broad legalization program, it also tackles the border, seeking to overhaul the current legal immigration system by addressing the root causes of migration from Central America via foreign aid and investment. The bill would prioritize smart border controls by investing in new surveillance technologies to screen for and address drug smuggling, particularly at ports of entry. According to Title II of the legislation, a continued effort against crime would confront violence, extortion, money laundering and trafficking (Title II, Subtitle A, Sec. 2101).
Additionally, the Biden administration’s proposal claims to offer a more humanitarian approach towards border communities, oversee administrative conduct of border officials, and ensure adequate protocols for individuals and families in CBP custody. The bill specifically requires proper development and training of protocols regarding appropriate use of force and human rights (Title II, Subtitle A, Sec. 2103). Recent oversight of DHS, CBP, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement has resulted in numerous critical reports from NGOs, DHS’s own inspector general, and lawsuits over conditions in CBP facilities. The bill’s provisions are meant to realign border policies to focus less on punishment and deterrence and more on legal and orderly processing.
Anyone (like Trump) who tries to tell you that there is a quick and easy fix to the humanitarian crisis on our southern border is lying through his teeth...hoping you are uninformed enough to just take him at his word.
Biden's plan which was submitted to Congress, which Trump lobbied his loyal lap dogs to kill in order to keep it from looking like Biden had any kind of "win" on the issue, actually addresses the real metrics on the ground as opposed to any of Trump's so called "plans" which are designed with little more objective than to throw red meat to his MAGAt dogs which are always salivating at the idea of exerting their imaginary racial superiority over other non-white populations of people.
The bottom line is that Trump pressured Congress to vote down a sensible border bill in order to make HIMSELF look better.
Don't give me your cultroach bullshit about convicted felon Trump actually giving a shit about securing our border.
That's just your cult's fable!



 
It is horrible that Biden told people to “surge to the border” and then rewards these illegals with stays in luxury hotels and three meals a day, meals they complain about because it’s not the cooking they’re used to.
Fake news
 
Fake news
Those illegals are such lowlife animals that they’ve been caught fucking in the halls. I’ve been going to hotels for 60 years and never once saw that.

These are not the type of people we want here - complete disregard for our laws, then demanding that Americans pay for their nice hotel stays, and then acting like farm animals in public.
