Trump’s MAGA means commonsense policies, not extremism

Does MAGA equal extremism? The Bidenites want you to believe that; it’s the only strategic message likely to topple former President Donald Trump in 2024 if embraced by the broad electorate. So what’s the truth? 

I was there at the dawn of the modern Make America Great Again movement when Mr. Trump first laid down his MAGA principles during his 2016 campaign. At the top of his list was fair trade rather than simply free trade.

Mr. Trump was the first president to expose massive unfair trade practices worldwide, not just those of China. He rightly called out the corrosive cheating of countries including Germany, India, Brazil and Vietnam.

There was nothing extreme about Mr. Trump imposing tariffs on these trade cheaters to level the globalist playing field and protect American workers and factories. In fact, fair trade is the most sensible policy in the world — and it was this core MAGA principle that served as the primary catalyst for Mr. Trump’s 2016 sweep of the beleaguered battleground states in America’s Rust Belt.

As a second MAGA principle, “build the wall,” Mr. Trump embraced secure borders. Today, under the open-border policies of the Biden regime, America is undergoing the worst invasion in our history — more than 2 million illegals a year.

While President Biden’s Democrats think every new immigrant will help turn the red states purple or blue, Mr. Trump’s supporters know this: Illegal immigrants depress the wages of Black, brown and blue-collar Americans; import crime, disease and drugs; crowd our schools and emergency rooms; and threaten our national security.

Consider here that the latest Biden wave of illegals includes national security threats including Chinese military infiltrators, Islamic extremists, drug cartel kingpins and human traffickers. There is nothing extreme about securing our borders from such assaults.

As a third core MAGA principle, Mr. Trump has promised to end the kind of endless wars propagated in places like Iran and Afghanistan by RINOs like former President George W. Bush and ex-Vice President Dick Cheney and perpetuated by Democrats like former President Barack Obama and Mr. Biden.

Mr. Trump’s message of peace has been particularly well received in blue-collar, flyover country where MAGA families provide the U.S. military with a highly disproportionate share of the cannon fodder our endless warmongers have sent overseas.
