Trump Finally Erupts as Fox host Drops Bomb on him - Pondering Politics
Here are the key points from the video:
• Trump is publicly panicking about ICE's declining approval ratings, posting on Truth Social asking people to stop focusing on ICE operations in Minnesota and redirect attention to alleged political corruption instead
• Polling shows significant disapproval: 61% of Americans disapprove of Trump's immigration handling (67% among independents), and 57% disapprove of how ICE is enforcing immigration laws
• Karl Rove warned on Fox News that Trump's immigration approach will hurt Republicans in the November midterms, noting that Americans support deporting criminals but are more forgiving toward undocumented immigrants who "kept their nose clean"
• Hispanic voter support is dropping dramatically - Trump won over 40% of Hispanic voters in 2024, but approval among this crucial demographic has fallen significantly, threatening GOP prospects
• Texas House seats are at risk - Several competitive Texas districts that Republicans expected to win may now be in jeopardy due to softening Hispanic support, including districts Trump previously carried by narrow margins
• Trump is doubling down rather than changing strategy, using deflection tactics instead of heeding political advisers' warnings about the electoral consequences
