Summary

After 100 days in office, how popular is President Donald Trump? “47% of likely U.S. voters either strongly or somewhat approve of President Trump,” according to a poll conducted by Rassmussen Reports last month. The biggest surprise? Over a majority of Hispanic voters, 58%, approve of President Trump, which is greater than his support amongst white (47%) and black (41%) voters. Democrats told us that closing the border, and deporting illegal aliens, like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was deeply unpopular within the Hispanic community and would sink Trump’s favorability. But, it actually has the opposite effect, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
