About this listen
Back in 2016, Salena Zito warned that Donald Trump should be taken seriously, not literally. Democrats are still not listening to her sage advice.
Bill Clinton employed a triangulation strategy to co-opt Republican voters. Now, Trump has spent the first seven months of his presidency employing a cornering strategy—using his bully pulpit to force Democrats to corner themselves into the fringe positions on issues that matter most to American voters.
Crime is only the latest of these issues.
Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to enforce the law in Washington DC paid immediate dividends—most notably with eleven straight days without a homicide.
Trump has picked another fight over cashless bail, drawing Democrats into another defense of their fringe positions. Just as with immigration and deportation, Democrats painted themselves into yet another corner on public safety.
Trump—and the American people—are winning.
