In her New York Post Devine Online newsletter, Miranda Devine draws attention to a statement from President Trump that seems worthy of more attention than it has received. Devine quoted Trump speaking at a ceremony at the White House Wednesday where he had a near 100-foot flagpole installed, Asked by a reporter what gave him the idea for the giant flag, he replied: “I’ve had it for a long time. The first time I had it, you guys [the media] were after me and I said, ‘I had to focus.’”
“I was the hunted,” Trump said of his first term, “and now I’m the hunter. It’s a big difference.”
That is such a short quote, I would like to cheat with a second, courtesy of Andrew Stiles and his weekly Washington Free Beacon Stiles Section newsletter:
lhan Omar, the anti-Semitic congresswoman from Minnesota, described America as “one of the worst countries,” and implied that living here in 2025 was even worse than growing up in Somalia under a military dictatorship. This is exactly the sort of uplifting message Democrats should run on in 2026.
