You could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it.

Hillary Clinton (September 2016)

Left-liberals had no idea in 2016 that Hillary Clinton’s deplorable litmus test would apply to their reflexive reactions to Team Trump’s actions eight years later. To wit, Canada’s Liberals bit the hand of their peace-and-prosperity guarantor, a woke New York mob broke the law in support of a seditious green-card-holder, and dishonest Democrats chose woke bureaucrats over taxpayers.

The lack of intellectual honesty is appalling; Justin Trudeau hiding behind the rules-based international order, Mahmoud Khalil declaring a right to hate speech, and congressional Democrats proclaiming Republicans will cut Medicaid by over $880 billion. Please, someone make them stop!

(November 7) Congratulations, President Trump. We have the chance to work together again – more jobs for both our nations. (March 4) Trump wants a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that will make it easier to annex us.

Justin Trudeau

Fact: 2024 exports to the US were 35% ($505.9 billion) of Mexico’s GDP and 19% ($412.7 billion) of Canada’s, creating US trade deficits with Mexico ($171.8 billion) and Canada ($63.3 billion). This imbalance led candidate Trump to threaten tariffs to force both countries to “do more” to stop the flow of fentanyl and criminal aliens into the US. Cue the “sovereignty…rules-based international order” mumbo-jumbo from both countries’ leaders.

The comparisons end there, because President Sheinbaum knows the “international order” requires a superpower (USA) to have a reason to hold a protective umbrella over Mexico. Thus, she allowed CIA drones into Mexico’s airspace, busted fentanyl gangs, deployed 10,000 troops to the US border, and sent 29 drug cartel leaders to the US for prosecution. Trump delayed tariffs because she worked “hard on the border.”

In contrast, Prime Minister Trudeau thought the “international order” obligated the superpower (USA) to hold a protective umbrella over Canada. Thus, he belittled the US for “appeasing Putin” and left office without implementing the Border Plan he promised Trump in December. Big talk from a country with 63 fighter jets and 16,000 total military personnel, that never-ever meets NATO’s 2% defense expenditure threshold.

Absent the US military, Canada cannot repel a Russian invasion from the north – and its whining didn’t stop China from slapping 100% tariffs on Canadian agricultural products last week. A wise leader would note the FAFO history of Trump, $2 trillion newly invested in US-based manufacturing, and the ISIS leader in Iraq killed by a US missile strike. Just saying, oh, Canada!

If you tell us, ‘I am a big supporter of Hamas, and I intend to come to your country, rile up all kinds of antisemitic activities, shut down your universities,’ we would deny your visa. If you actually end up doing that in this country on such a visa, we will revoke it.

Secretary of State Rubio

Facts: (1) Mahmoud Khalil is just one Arabic Muslim in a country where 78% of the population (259,900,000, including Hispanics) traces it heritage to Europe, and 70% are Judeo-Christian (231,700,000, including Jews), and (2) video footage proves Khalil was a leader of Columbia United Apartheid Divest (CUAD) when its members threatened students and vandalized buildings at Columbia University.

Opinions: (1) a government for the people should revoke the green card of a migrant “fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization,” and (2) students at elite universities should not be harassed, have their classes disrupted, and be locked out of occupied buildings.

Khalil’s lawyer is trying to curry empathy for a “legal” green-card holder who was “kidnapped” because he was exercising his “right to free speech” despite Khalil being the lead negotiator for CUAD a full year before he got his green card (source: court filings). That lawyer knows this: on the same day that Islamic terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar murdered 15 Americans in New Orleans, Khalil helped organize a Time Square demonstration, with thousands of Hamas supporters chanting, “Globalize the intifada” (source: USA/Today).

It would be negligent of Marco Rubio to not take Khalil at his word, because “globalize the intifada” means import rebellion into the US, and “eradication of Western civilization” means killing Christians and Jews – in the plain English that is now the official language of the USA.

We’ve been trying to get to waste, fraud and abuse for decades, but we didn’t have the algorithms that Elon Musk has. We didn’t have the access to all that data. Now the game has changed.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (March 16, 2025)

Facts: (1) the national debt is $36.6 trillion and climbing, (2) the budget deficit for the current fiscal year is $2 trillion and holding, (3) the US Debt Clock now shows $207 billion in DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) savings, and (4) Chuck Schumer claimed, “Donald Trump and Elon Musk want a shutdown to destroy vital government services faster.”

You want deplorable? Democrats fighting to preserve $7.1 trillion in federal largesse by demonizing Elon Musk for modernizing the federal government (the same party that preserved chattel slavery for 74 years and Jim Crow laws for another 100). Shame on them. While the lives of two stranded astronauts depends on a Space-X rescue, and the future of Medicaid depends on DOGE success, Dems are rooting against Musk and Tesla.

80% of Americans support the elimination of wasteful government spending. Prior to Elon Musk, that was not even possible because Democrats lacked the will, and Republicans lacked the skill. Musk is the generational talent to save we the people from our out-of-control government. I’m cheering like hell he succeeds.

This just in: a new CNN poll finds the Democrat Party’s favorability has fallen to a record low (29%). That’s a 20-point drop from the January 6 Capitol Riots, begging the question of who’s deplorable now?
