In a moment of rare honesty that probably has Democrat leadership fuming, Rep. Lou Correa (D-CA) admitted on CNN that President Trump and his administration "have a lot of the cards" in the ongoing Department of Homeland Security funding battle.
Speaking on CNN International's "The Brief" Thursday, Correa inadvertently exposed the Democrats' weak position as they desperately try to obstruct Trump's mass deportation agenda. "The White House has a lot of the cards on this one," Correa confessed, revealing what conservatives have known all along - Trump is playing chess while Democrats are stuck playing checkers.
Here's the beautiful irony: ICE remains fully funded regardless of any DHS shutdown theatrics the left might attempt. That means Trump's deportation machine keeps rolling while Democrats throw their tantrum in Congress. No wonder Correa sounds worried.
Democrats' Obstruction Strategy Crumbling
"That's why we have to hold firm," Correa pleaded, but his words ring hollow when he's already admitted Trump has the upper hand. This is classic Democrat projection - they're the ones who need to "hold firm" because their position is crumbling faster than Biden's approval ratings.
"We passed that big, beautiful bill last year," Correa said, apparently referring to previous legislation that Democrats thought would hamstring Trump's immigration enforcement.
But here's what Correa and his radical colleagues didn't count on: Trump's team came prepared. While Democrats were busy planning resistance, the Trump administration was strategically positioning itself to continue deportations regardless of their legislative games.
This admission from Correa should be front-page news everywhere, but don't hold your breath waiting for the mainstream media to highlight a Democrat confessing that Trump outmaneuvered them. Instead, they'll probably spin this as somehow being bad news for conservatives.
The real question is: if a California Democrat is already admitting defeat on national television, how long before the rest of the party realizes their obstruction strategy is DOA? Patriots, we're watching the art of the deal in real time, and Trump is once again proving why Americans chose him to drain the swamp.
