1. Trump’s First Year:
Economic improvements:

End of “stagflation”
Dramatic reduction in inflation
High GDP growth (claims up to 5%+)
Strong stock market and retirement account growth
Large tax cuts and spending cuts
Regulatory rollbacks:

129 regulations cut per new rule
$211 billion in claimed savings
National security and governance:

Eight wars ended
Major reduction in VA backlog
Significant reduction in drug overdoses

2. Immigration and Border Enforcement Narrative
A major theme is “reverse migration”, described as mass removal of undocumented immigrants.
ICE and DHS are portrayed as:

Targeting only violent criminal undocumented immigrants
Arresting rapists, child sex offenders, murderers, and drug traffickers
Other victories include:

10,000+ criminal arrests in Minnesota
70% detained have violent criminal charges
Zero releases at the border for 8 months
Essential for public safety
Actively opposed by Democratic leaders

3. Conflict with Minnesota Democratic Leadership
Minnesota officials (Governor, Mayor, City Council members) are accused of:

Resisting ICE
Encouraging civil unrest
Protecting criminals
The DOJ investigation into state and city leaders is presented as:

Justified
Focused on obstruction of federal law and fraud
Democrats are accused of:

Demonizing ICE
Encouraging protests, including disruptive actions at churches
Comparing ICE to authoritarian regimes

4. Media Criticism
Media are accused of:

Lying about ICE arrest data
Downplaying crimes by undocumented immigrants
Acting as “state‑sponsored media”
Interviews are selectively quoted to show journalists being “corrected” or “exposed.”

5. Fraud and Corruption Allegations
Massive financial fraud in Minnesota, totaling:

At least $19 billion
Linked to nonprofit programs and misuse of federal funds
Referencing the “Feeding Our Future” investigation as evidence of systemic corruption
Federal investigations are framed as restoring accountability, not intimidation
