    According to Gallup, the United States is by far the most desired country in the world to move to, and has been #1 every single year since they began asking. You won the lottery the day you became an American, whether by birth or by choice. Happy Independence Day, America 🇺🇸

    We’re going to bring down costs by having government subsidize everything. Let’s see how that’s gone previously.

    Roseanne deserved to get fired for her comment. Samantha Bee called Ivanka a “c*nt” on air and Keith Olbermann routinely calls the President a “motherf*cker.” Do you think either will get fired? Maybe see why so many Americans think there’s a media double-standard for liberals?

    Nikki Haley is “old guard”? The entire DC GOP establishment supports Trump. The rest of the chattering class supported DeSantis. Haley is the only outsider in the race because she’s a free-market capitalist, not a warmed over technocrat. And she’s the only one who crushes Biden.

    JD Vance getting booed at a union event is yet another reminder to “populist” Republicans: Big Labor will never love you, no matter how much bad leftist labor policy you support, so you might as well win over workers by supporting good ideas instead.

    Biden’s decision to block the Nippon Steel deal is the perfect capstone to his presidency. It encompasses everything. An absolutely atrocious, senseless policy decision driven entirely by union special interests that will hurt American workers, businesses, and alliances abroad.

    Chavez-Deremer’s support of the awful PRO Act is getting a lot of attention, but she also led an even worse bill that would federally mandate a public sector union regime nationwide more radical than any state, even CA/IL/NY/NJ, currently has. A giant middle finger to red states.

    Trump’s record on labor policy was so strong and he didn’t flip on a single labor issue yet still improved with union voters. He completely undid that and undermined his own agenda and movement by picking a teachers union hack for Labor. Senate GOP should reject this nomination.

    According to Gallup, the United States is the most desired country in the world for people to move to, and has been every single year since they started surveying. 170 million people around the world would become Americans if they could. Happy Thanksgiving! 🇺🇸

    Even if aspiring homeowners save for years, it is often still not enough. My administration will provide first-time homebuyers with $25,000 to help with the down payment on a new home.

    JANUS WINS! JANUS WINS! JANUS WINS! #SCOTUS upholds the First Amendment and reverses Abood, stating that public employees cannot be forced to fund collective bargaining because it amounts to political speech. #RightToWork for all public employees! #JanusvAfscme #Janus #tcot

    I could not be prouder to have supported @NikkiHaley for president. She is exactly the kind of principled conservative leader the Republican Party and the country badly need, and I look forward to that becoming increasingly clear in the months and years ahead.

    Leaking donor lists is extremely dangerous and even more troubling it was leaked by someone in government. AFPF won at SCOTUS last year to protect anonymous giving. Things like this are exactly why so many conservatives don’t trust government bureaucrats and the mainstream media.
