DCPundit.comTruth Over Comfort, Facts Over Fiction

(DC Pundit) – President Donald Trump lit up the internet on Saturday night with a powerful suggestion: prosecute Barack Obama and all key players behind the debunked Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

It’s a statement long overdue, considering the mountain of evidence that’s emerged, evidence showing that the so-called “scandal” wasn’t just a partisan smear job, but a deliberate effort to sabotage Trump’s presidency before it even began.

Thanks to newly declassified information from ODNI Tulsi Gabbard, we now know that a December 2016 presidential briefing revealed Barack Obama was fully aware the Trump-Russia narrative was a political fabrication. And yet, he let it move forward. Actually, he helped it move forward.

The tangled web of corruption didn’t stop with Obama. CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently confirmed a CIA report that acknowledged what many have suspected for years, to be true. Former FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper worked hand-in-hand to poison the Trump-Russia investigation. They even knowingly included the phony Steele Dossier, the British bedtime storybook of fiction, into intelligence briefings as part of their scheme to, in their words, “screw Trump.”

Let that sink in: senior U.S. intelligence officials weaponized their offices in 2016 to kneecap the incoming administration, all based on a lie. And now the American people know that Barack Obama didn’t just look the other way; he helped create the mess.

One recently surfaced report concluded, “We assess that foreign adversaries did not use cyber attacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome this year. We have no evidence of cyber manipulation of election infrastructure intended to alter results.”

Translation? There was no Russian hacking. No vote flipping. No collusion. Just a weaponized media machine, a compliant intelligence network, and a Democrat president overseeing the entire thing while pretending to be above the fray.

Former Hawaii Congresswoman and current ODNI Tulsi Gabbard wasn’t about to let it slide. She sent the declassified documents to the Justice Department and called for prosecutions.

These documents detail a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people and try to usurp the President from fulfilling his mandate.

White House spokesman Harrison Fields also didn’t mince words during an appearance on Fox News. “Obama’s hands are on this and what is he doing now? He’s over here with his wife doing a podcast, walking with flipflops on the beach acting like his whole career was everything and a bag of chips! It wasn’t! It was the most corrupt presidency we have ever seen! We thought Joe Biden was bad. Now we know who was behind it all. It was Barack Hussein Obama and we need an answers,” Fields said.

JUST IN — President Trump praises Special Assistant to the President Harrison Fields for perfectly articulating how the Obama administration orchestrated the Russia hoax, and Trump implies he wants everyone prosecuted, including the 44th President of the United States.

And he’s right. The Obama-Biden years may have sold themselves as scandal-free, but history is peeling back the layers, and what’s underneath looks more like Chicago-style corruption than constitutional leadership.

It’s no surprise President Trump is calling for accountability, what is surprising is how long these crooks have gotten away with it. The American people deserve justice, and the Trump administration may just be the only ones both willing and capable of delivering it.

(DC Pundit) – Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren has officially jumped on the bandwagon to support one of the most absurd political proposals to emerge from New York City in recent memory. The progressive champion has thrown her full weight behind mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s plan for state-owned grocery stores. Apparently, what America really needs right now is the government deciding what goes on your dinner table.

During her Friday appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box, Warren was pressed about Mamdani’s more radical policy positions, including his brilliant idea to have the state own and subsidize groceries through government-operated stores. Her response was as predictable as it was concerning.

“And by the way, it’s a new and fresh plan for New York City. But it’s been tried in other cities around the country and has had some real successes. So, what I hear Mamdani say is, I want to try things to make it work for working families. And you know what? This is how democracy works. A lot of people in New York City said, that sounds good to me, I’d rather try that than any of the other alternatives available to me, I support that,” Warren declared with the confidence of someone who clearly hasn’t visited a government-run facility lately.

Elizabeth Warren says that government-run grocery stores have been successful in other cities.

Let’s talk about those “real successes” Warren mentioned. A shining example sits in Kansas City, where their government-operated grocery store is doing so spectacularly that even with a recent $750,000 tax subsidy, shoppers are greeted by bare shelf after bare shelf. Nothing says “success” quite like empty aisles funded by taxpayer dollars. But hey, at least the government is consistently efficient at one thing: spending other people’s money poorly.

Despite a recent $750k taxpayer subsidy, the shelves at Kansas City's government-run grocery store are "almost bare." It also lost $885k last year and is, unsurprisingly, hemorrhaging customers. pic.twitter.com/DjsuEr7UnJ

Warren’s endorsement shouldn’t surprise anyone who’s been paying attention to the progressive movement’s march toward socialism. The woman who built her entire political career on attacking successful businesses and promoting government control over private enterprise has found her perfect ally in the 35-year-old Mamdani.

Mamdani, who emerged victorious in last month’s Democratic primary, brings a whole buffet of radical ideas to the table. As a New York State Assemblyman, he’s spent considerable time pushing to defund the New York Police Department, arguing that law enforcement agencies are designed to “control black, brown and poor New Yorkers.”

Mamdani has also proclaimed that defunding the police is somehow essential for “queer liberation,” and believes law enforcement is actively complicit in helping a “violent, right-wing government” persecute minorities. One has to wonder what world this guy is living in, because it certainly isn’t the same one where ordinary New Yorkers are dealing with crime and wondering if they’ll be safe walking home at night.

The fact that Warren sees fit to endorse this collection of failed socialist policies tells you everything you need to know about where the Democratic Party is heading. They’re not content with just expanding government programs or raising taxes. They want the government to literally take over the most basic aspects of daily life, starting with where you buy your groceries.

This is the same Elizabeth Warren who spent years railing against big corporations, claiming they exploit consumers. Now she’s supporting a plan that would eliminate competition entirely and hand a monopoly directly to government bureaucrats. The irony would be amusing if it weren’t so dangerous.

New Yorkers deserve better than empty shelves and government-controlled commerce. They deserve leaders who understand that free markets, not socialist experiments, are what make communities thrive. Unfortunately, with endorsements like Warren’s, it seems they’re going to get exactly the opposite.

(DC Pundit) – Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has released a cache of declassified documents confirming what many conservatives have suspected all along: the Obama administration went full banana republic in its efforts to sabotage President Donald Trump after his 2016 victory.

This isn’t a fringe theory anymore. This is fact, straight from Gabbard herself, who wasted no time cutting through the deep state fog.

“The information we are releasing today clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government,” Gabbard told Fox News Digital.

That’s not just a strong opinion, it’s a direct indictment of Barack Obama’s national security apparatus. According to Fox News, the documents reveal “overwhelming evidence” that Obama’s team, desperate to delegitimize Trump’s presidency before it even began, manufactured and politicized intelligence to support the now-debunked Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

Obama and others participated in the weaponization of the U.S. intelligence community against a duly elected president. In any other country, we’d call this what it is: a coup attempt.

“Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people,” Gabbard stated, “and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people.”

It’s worth pausing here to remember how this all started. In 2016, after Hillary Clinton’s humiliating defeat, the Democrats, unable to accept reality, spun up a narrative that Trump only won because of Russian interference. Never mind that the intelligence community had evidence to the contrary. Obama’s people needed a story to justify spying on Trump’s campaign, launching investigations, and dragging the country through years of media-driven hysteria.

Gabbard’s revelation now brings that entire charade into sharp, damning focus.

Of course, the media won’t be issuing any apologies or retractions. Don’t expect any network anchor to admit that the last several years of breathless “Russia collusion” coverage was built on a steaming pile of political garbage.

But Gabbard isn’t interested in media approval. She’s shining a spotlight on one of the most dangerous abuses of power in American history, and she’s doing it with the cold, hard truth.

The documents don’t lie. And neither do the American people, who handed President Trump a clear victory in 2016, and again in 2024.

Let’s hope Gabbard keeps the light shining.

(DC Pundit) – New York City mayoral hopeful and self-described socialist Zohran Mamdani is back in the headlines, this time for a resurfaced video in which he floats the idea of abolishing private property. Yes, the guy wants to be mayor of America’s largest city while openly promoting economic policies that have tanked countries across the globe. But sure, let’s give him the keys to the Big Apple.

The video, which has been circulating widely on social media, features Mamdani delivering what can only be described as a love letter to Marxism.

“My platform is that every single person should have housing,” Mamdani says in the clip, before pivoting to his big idea: “If there was any system that could guarantee each person housing, whether you call it the abolition of private property or you call it, you know, just a statewide housing guarantee, it is preferable to what is going on right now.”

Zohran Mamdani says he'd be in favor of the "abolition of private property" pic.twitter.com/WRs6JEG5tv

— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) July 17, 2025

Got that? In Mamdani’s world, the government seizing property is just another “guarantee.” Nothing to see here, just rewriting the Constitution and tossing centuries of economic progress into the Hudson River.

Critics wasted no time responding.

“He claims to be a socialist—whether it’s wanting to abolish private property or wanting to seize the means of production, these are communist ideas right out of the playbook of Karl Marx,” Rep. Nicole Malliotakis told Fox News Digital.

Malliotakis, whose mother fled Communist Cuba, added, “If the majority of New Yorkers knew what this guy truly stands for and how destructive and dangerous his policies are, there’s no way they’d vote for him. So many in our city fled places where socialism and communism destroyed their lives.”

She’s not wrong. The whole “abolish private property” thing didn’t exactly work wonders in Cuba, Venezuela, or the Soviet Union. But hey, maybe it’ll work in Queens.

Rep. Mike Lawler chimed in as well: “Zohran Mamdani’s call to abolish private property is dangerous and un-American. This will bring economic chaos, and New Yorkers deserve better than out-of-touch extremists pushing communist agendas.”

Rep. Claudia Tenney echoed that warning: “Stripping this fundamental right would devastate families, close small businesses, and destroy entire communities. Private property is a cornerstone Constitutional principle… It represents the essence of personal freedom, economic opportunity, and the American Dream.”

And Rep. Nick Langworthy didn’t hold back either: “Mamdani isn’t offering a housing plan—he’s pushing a communist manifesto. Families are fleeing the city because of high costs and crime, not because there’s too much freedom. New York City has to decide: do they want a mayor who believes in safety and prosperity—or a communist who wants to seize your home?”

“Yea, this guy is definitely not a communist,” Donald Trump Jr. posted sarcastically. Sen. Ted Cruz responded on X more bluntly: “He is a communist.”

He is a communist. https://t.co/1IpdkjDoyK

— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) July 17, 2025

At least Mamdani’s being honest about his views. It’s just unfortunate those views sound like they were copy-pasted from a Havana city council meeting.

New Yorkers have been through a lot, but this? This might just be the Marxist bridge too far.

(DC Pundit) – After days of media speculation over photos showing President Trump with slightly swollen ankles and a bruised hand, the White House stepped up Thursday to remind the press that facts, not speculation, are still a thing. You’d think they just discovered gravity with how breathless their reporting has been. But Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wasn’t having it.

Speaking from the podium, Leavitt preemptively addressed the swirling rumors about Trump’s health, the kind of rumors that never seemed to interest the media when Joe Biden was wandering off stages and forgetting which decade he was in. Suddenly, the same press corps that ignored Biden’s word salads and glazed-over stares has rediscovered its curiosity — this time, over a bruise and some leg swelling.

Trump’s swollen ankles are due to chronic venous insufficiency (not “venus insufficiency”—but wouldn’t that be an interesting disorder), @PressSec asserts. The bruises on his hand are reportedly due to handshaking. https://t.co/DYuQZSN5lv pic.twitter.com/Vkyvg5Y3wW

— Benjamin Ryan (@benryanwriter) July 17, 2025

Leavitt read a detailed memo from President Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, that laid it all out, clearly and professionally. Turns out the issue is chronic venous insufficiency, a very common, benign condition found in many people over 70 — and Trump is 78, not 48.

“In recent weeks, President Trump noticed mild swelling in his lower legs,” Barbabella wrote. “In keeping with routine medical care, and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House medical unit.”

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, following reports of swelling in the President's legs, per Karoline Leavitt

— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) July 17, 2025

Dr. Barbabella noted that Trump underwent a comprehensive medical evaluation, including vascular studies and ultrasounds, which revealed no evidence of dangerous issues like deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease.

“All results were within normal limits,” the statement added. “An echocardiogram confirmed normal cardiac structure and function, and no signs of heart failure, renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified.”

In other words: He’s fine.

Ironically, the same liberal media types now so very concerned about leg swelling were more than happy to gaslight the American people last year. You may recall the Biden White House trying to pass off obviously confused public appearances as “deep fakes” — because apparently, we weren’t supposed to trust our own eyes. But today, under President Trump’s leadership, the public is given actual information, no filters, no spin.

The difference is night and day: One administration hid the truth behind curtains and handlers, while the other deals with it head-on, with transparency, medical clarity, and yes, an occasional bruise that doesn’t need a conspiracy theory attached.

(DC Pundit) – Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), one of the most far-left members of Congress, let something slip during a recent interview that’s raising more than a few eyebrows — and rightly so. While discussing food assistance programs, Jayapal casually admitted that illegal aliens are benefiting from the taxpayer-funded SNAP program. You know, the very thing Democrats have repeatedly claimed isn’t happening.

Here’s what she said:

“Yesterday, I was at a food bank in my district talking about SNAP cuts… people are not showing up because they’re afraid… It’s undocumented immigrants.”

Rep. Pramila Jayapal accidentally admits illegals receive taxpayer-funded SNAP benefits:

— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) July 17, 2025

Let that sink in.

She wasn’t stuttering. She didn’t misspeak. She didn’t walk it back. She flat-out admitted that illegal immigrants, people who are not supposed to be receiving federal benefits, are in fact recipients of assistance funded by American taxpayers.

For years, the left has denied this with the energy of a toddler caught red-handed in a cookie jar. Anyone daring to question whether taxpayer-funded programs were being misused by people in the country illegally was labeled xenophobic, racist, or “misinformed.”

Turns out, the only misinformation was coming from Democrats like Jayapal, who were doing everything in their power to keep the truth under wraps — until she let it slip herself.

And of course, Jayapal tried to play the sympathy card, suggesting these individuals are too afraid to even show up at food banks now.

This is the kind of double-talk and manipulation Americans are tired of. Hardworking citizens are struggling to afford groceries, gas, rent, and basic necessities. But somehow, we’re supposed to foot the bill for people who broke our laws to get here in the first place?

It’s not about lacking compassion, it’s about priorities. And the fact that Democrats continue to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens is exactly why they’re losing support among key voting blocs they once counted on.

Jayapal’s accidental honesty confirms what conservatives have known for years: Our system is being abused, and Democrats don’t seem all that interested in stopping it. In fact, they appear to be perfectly comfortable with it, as long as it serves their political goals.

If illegal aliens are afraid of losing benefits they shouldn’t have access to in the first place, perhaps that’s a sign the system is long overdue for reform.

(DC Pundit) – Governor Gavin Newsom has taken yet another swing at property rights in California, this time under the smoke screen of wildfire recovery. Former Acting Director of National Intelligence and U.S. Special Envoy Ric Grenell isn’t having it, and neither are the residents of Pacific Palisades and Malibu.

Grenell accused Newsom of flat-out lying about his plans for the fire-scorched areas of Los Angeles. While residents are still reeling from the January fires that devastated parts of these iconic neighborhoods, Newsom apparently saw an opportunity, not to help them rebuild their homes, but to push through low-income housing developments.

“They are changing the character of the Palisades and Malibu to fit their woke agenda. They don’t care what residents want,” Grenell posted on X.

. @GavinNewsom lied.

He said he wouldn’t grab the land where homes burned down in the Palisades to build low-income housing facilities – but he and Karen Bass just did.

They are changing the character of the Palisades and Malibu to fit their woke agenda. They don’t care what…

— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) July 17, 2025

Translation: Newsom is more concerned about checking boxes on his progressive wish list than he is about respecting the people who live in the communities he’s targeting. The governor’s recent move to funnel $101 million to developers for building low-income housing in these fire-damaged zones has ignited a political firestorm.

Adding insult to injury, this announcement came on the heels of Newsom signing legislation that rolled back environmental protections which had previously halted high-density housing construction in certain urban areas, also known as “urban infill.” Suddenly, land that was once protected for environmental or residential reasons is now fair game for the governor’s social engineering experiments. How convenient?

Wait, it gets better. The California State Senate passed a bill to create a local authority empowered to use property tax dollars to buy up burned-out lots and turn them into low-income housing projects. That’s not exactly the type of “rebuilding” local residents had in mind when they were sifting through the ashes of their homes.

And while Newsom insists it’s all about equitable recovery and increasing housing supply, locals are calling it exactly what it is: a shameless land grab.

The backlash was swift enough to cause State Sen. Ben Allen (D–Santa Monica) to slam the brakes on his own bill tied to the initiative. Allen withdrew the measure before it could even be debated in the State Assembly, admitting it “needed more time for public consultation.”

That’s political speak for “we got caught trying to sneak something past the people.”

This isn’t just about Malibu or the Palisades — it’s about a growing pattern of California Democrats using crises to reshape communities in the image of their political agendas. What used to be disaster recovery is now just another opportunity to bulldoze local voices and replace them with bureaucratic mandates.

If you lost your home in the fires and were hoping to rebuild, good luck doing that before Sacramento finds a way to label your lot a “social justice opportunity zone.”

Newsom has perfected the art of pretending to help while quietly pushing policies that benefit his political base and donor class. The victims of the fire? They’re just collateral damage in California’s grand “equity” experiment.

California used to be the land of opportunity. Now, it is the land of government overreach dressed up in the language of compassion.

It’s no wonder people are leaving in droves.

(DC Pundit) – President Donald Trump has once again peeled back the curtain on corruption in D.C., this time setting his sights on none other than Senator Adam Schiff, a man whose smug face has become a permanent fixture on cable news, usually while spinning up some wild conspiracy theory that miraculously never turns out to be true.

On Tuesday, Trump announced that Schiff has allegedly been caught red-handed in a mortgage fraud scheme uncovered by Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division. Yes, that Adam Schiff, the same guy who spent years accusing Trump of every crime under the sun, apparently couldn’t keep his own financial affairs clean.

“I have always suspected Shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “And now I learn that Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division have concluded that Adam Schiff has engaged in a sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud.”

According to the report, Schiff, who was a California Congressman at the time, allegedly claimed that his primary residence was in Maryland in order to score a cheaper mortgage. Meanwhile, he was still casting votes in California and supposedly residing in a modest Burbank condo, if by “residing,” we mean occasionally checking the mail.

Trump continued, “Adam Schiff said that his primary residence was in MARYLAND to get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America, when he must LIVE in CALIFORNIA because he was a Congressman from CALIFORNIA. I always knew Adam Schiff was a Crook. The FRAUD began with the refinance of his Maryland property on February 6, 2009, and continued through multiple transactions until the Maryland property was correctly designated as a second home on October 13, 2020.”

“Mortgage Fraud is very serious,” Trump added, “and CROOKED Adam Schiff (now a Senator) needs to be brought to justice.”

— Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸 TRUTH POSTS (@TruthTrumpPosts) July 15, 2025

The origins of this potential scandal date back to April 2023, when a California citizen dug up documents that suggest Schiff may have misled lenders about his primary residence. According to records, Schiff purchased a 3,420-square-foot home in affluent Montgomery County, Maryland, back in 2003 and declared it his “primary residence.” But somehow, he also managed to maintain voting status in California and claimed his Burbank condo as another “primary residence.” Must be nice to have two “primaries” when the average American struggles to afford one.

Schiff refinanced the Maryland home in 2009, 2010, 2011, and again in 2013. In 2009, a House Ethics investigation looked into the issue. Schiff claimed it was a mistake and paid back the tax exemptions he wasn’t entitled to in Maryland. Case closed, right?

Not so fast. If you or I had played fast and loose with residency laws and financial disclosures like this, we’d probably be watching Judge Judy from a federal holding cell. But Schiff? Don’t count on it.

It’s no secret that Washington elites love holding others to a different standard, especially when there’s a “D” next to their name. Schiff has skated through scandal after scandal, from peddling discredited Russia hoaxes to botched impeachment fantasies. So the odds of him facing real consequences over mortgage fraud? Let’s just say we won’t hold our breath.

Adam Schiff talks a big game about “truth” and “accountability,” but behind the scenes, he’s been playing his own game of financial shell shuffle.

If there’s one thing the American people deserve, it’s equal justice under the law. That means Schiff, like anyone else accused of fraud, should be thoroughly investigated and, if found guilty, held fully accountable.

(DC Pundit) – It was supposed to be another routine stop on the campaign trail, just one more rally in a long line of them. But July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, turned into something entirely different. That afternoon, America watched as history unfolded in real time, when an assassination attempt was made on President Donald J. Trump.

Standing before a packed crowd of supporters waving signs that read “Joe Biden, you’re fired!” Trump was doing what he always does, laying out the facts, pointing to a chart highlighting the Biden administration’s utter failure on illegal immigration. Then, mid-sentence, the unthinkable happened.

Gunshots. Chaos.

In a moment that instantly became etched into the American consciousness, Trump was interrupted by the sound of rapid gunfire. Secret Service agents jumped into action. As bullets rained down from above, Trump ducked, covered by agents, then, when given the green light, rose with unmistakable defiance.

Bloodied but unbowed, he raised a clenched fist and declared “Fight! Fight! Fight!” three times, igniting the crowd into a thundering chant of “U-S-A!”

The shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired eight rounds from a rooftop. One bullet hit Trump’s ear. Tragically, Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old firefighter, husband, and father, was killed, and two others were injured. Crooks was taken down by a Secret Service sniper, and to this day, the FBI has yet to reveal much information about him.

The attack wasn’t just an attempt on Trump, it was an attack on the American people’s right to choose their leader.

In an exclusive interview on My View with Lara Trump, President Trump recalled the moment. “It was unforgettable,” he said. “People were screaming, and I got down quickly, fortunately, because I think they shot eight bullets.”

Susie Wiles, Trump’s former campaign co-chair and current chief of staff, admitted she thought he had been killed. “You think the worst,” she told Miranda Devine on Pod Force One. “And when he stood up, I thought, ‘Oh my gosh.’”

Ironically, it was Trump’s request for an immigration chart that may have saved his life. Wiles noted that when Trump turned his head slightly to glance at the chart, it changed the trajectory of the bullet. “That just doesn’t happen because it happened,” she said, calling the moment “scary” and transformative for the campaign’s approach to security.

In the aftermath, the Secret Service underwent a sweeping internal overhaul. An October 2024 report from the Department of Homeland Security stated, “The Secret Service does not perform at the elite levels needed to discharge its critical mission… It has become bureaucratic, complacent, and static.”

Six agents were recently suspended, and new protocols have been put in place to ensure the mistakes in Pennsylvania are never repeated.

Trump didn’t wait long to reappear on the national stage. Just days later, he addressed the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, still wearing a bandage on his ear.

“I’m not supposed to be here tonight,” he said, prompting the crowd to respond, “Yes, you are!”

“Many people say it was a providential moment. Probably was,” Trump reflected. “When I rose, surrounded by Secret Service, the crowd was confused because they thought I was dead… I wanted to do something to let them know I was OK. I raised my right arm, looked at the thousands and thousands of people that were breathlessly waiting, and started shouting, ‘Fight, fight, fight.’”

That moment became symbolic.

Today, a painting of President Trump, his fist raised, blood on his face, now hangs in the White House’s entrance hall. A reminder not only of what he survived, but why he continues to fight.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt summed it up to Fox News Digital this week: “God spared President Trump’s life by a miraculous millimeter. Now one year later, President Trump is standing stronger than ever as he continues to ‘fight, fight, fight’ for the American people.”

Indeed, Trump didn’t just survive an assassination attempt, he turned it into a rallying cry. One year later, he’s not just standing, he’s leading.
