Trump ‘doesn’t realize’ he ‘just handed’ Dems a superweapon: expert

President Donald Trump scored a major victory Thursday after the Supreme Court cleared the way for his administration to potentially expedite the deportation of 1.3 million migrants, but the win could very well end up handing Democrats the key to winning the midterms, one security expert argued Friday.The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 Thursday to allow the Trump administration to end what’s known as Temporary Protected Status, a designation that allows migrants fleeing dangerous countries to work in the United States legally. The ruling immediately puts more than 350,000 Haitian and Syrian migrants at risk of deportation, and threatens the status of all 1.3 million people currently protected under the program.However, the optics of such a colossal deportation operation, along with its projected impact on Americans’ pocketbooks, could end up supercharging Democrats in November, argued Miles Taylor, a former Trump administration official who served in the Department of Homeland Security.“Everything in your life is about to get more expensive (again). The hundreds of thousands of the people about to be sent home are the workers holding up your daily life,” Taylor wrote in an analysis published on his Substack Friday.“The ones cooking your food, staffing your hospitals and nursing homes, framing your houses, harvesting what you eat. If you pull that many people out of the economy, you will feel it at the register. That ain’t my compassion talking. That’s just basic arithmetic.”The result, Taylor argued, was an electorate highly motivated to cripple Trump’s sway over Congress and empower Democratic lawmakers to hold him accountable.“What Trump doesn’t realize, perhaps, is that he’s just handed us another reason to beat him in November. Congress can do something about all of this. And they will, once power changes hands,” Taylor wrote. “Donald Trump may wear his heartlessness on his sleeve, but we’ll be wearing ‘I voted’ stickers on ours – right after we kick his a-- in the midterms. See you at the polls, Mr. President.”
