Former President Donald Trump delivered a fiery address at the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) dinner this week, accusing his political adversaries of “treason” and vowing to continue pushing forward with his America First agenda.
Speaking to a room of GOP donors and lawmakers on Tuesday, Trump claimed Democrats weren’t worried that his policies might fail — but rather, that they might succeed. “Our opponents are not afraid our America First policies will fail,” Trump said. “They’re terrified they’ll work. We’re getting stronger, better, and more unified as a party — and that’s exactly what they fear.”
He went further, accusing Democrats of betraying the country. “When they allowed millions of people to pour through our open borders — from all over the world — to me, that’s treason,” he declared. “What they’ve done to this country is unthinkable, and we’re not going to forget it.”
Trump also took aim at judges who, he claimed, are preventing the deportation of suspected members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang. He used the moment to reassert his image as a champion of working-class Americans.
“I’m proud to be the President for the workers, not the outsourcers,” Trump said. “For Main Street, not Wall Street. For the middle class, not the political class. I defend America, not the trade cheaters of the world.”
Continuing his sharp rhetoric, Trump slammed international trade partners for taking advantage of the U.S. through unfair tariffs and job outsourcing. “They stole our jobs, they stole our money,” he said. “Now people say we’re not treating them well — no, we’re treating them just fine. They’re lucky.”
Trump’s aggressive remarks come as his political momentum appears to be growing. A new J.L. Partners/Daily Mail poll of 1,000 registered voters conducted between March 31 and April 3 found his approval rating on the rise — even after controversial new tariffs were announced on April 2.
Despite backlash from Democrats, some establishment Republicans, and media commentators, Trump’s bold messaging appears to be resonating with a significant segment of the electorate as the 2024 election cycle heats up.
