President Donald Trump touches down in Corpus Christi today, returning to a state that stands as living proof that America First policies work. While the legacy media desperately searches for negative headlines, the numbers don't lie: Texas is booming, families are keeping more of their hard-earned money, and dangerous criminal aliens are finally being removed from our streets.
This is what winning looks like, folks.
Gas Prices PLUMMET — Remember Biden's $4.60 Nightmare?
Let's start with what every Texan sees every time they fill up their tank. The average price for regular gasoline in Texas now sits at just $2.60 per gallon — and at some stations across the state, you can find gas for under two bucks. That's not a typo.
Compare that to the all-time record highs Texans suffered under the Biden regime, when prices soared past $4.60. That's a 44% drop, putting more than $2 per gallon back in the pockets of working families. Diesel prices have cratered 38% from Biden-era peaks as well.
This is what happens when you have a President who says "Drill, baby, drill" and actually means it.
Massive Tax Relief Hits Home
Thanks to President Trump and congressional Republicans delivering the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, the average Texas family is saving $4,009 on their taxes this year. That's real money — money for groceries, for rent, for your kids' future.
But it gets better. Texans stand to see wages rise by up to $6,900 per person over the coming years, and the reforms are projected to protect 580,000 Texas jobs. Meanwhile, rural communities are receiving a $281 million investment in healthcare infrastructure.
The Biden administration talked about helping working families while inflation ate their paychecks alive. President Trump is actually doing it.
Housing Finally Becoming Affordable Again
Here's something the mainstream media won't tell you: President Trump's mass deportation agenda is making housing affordable again for American citizens.
Texas is home to three of the top 20 metro areas with the largest illegal alien populations. And wouldn't you know it — all three are seeing home prices drop:
- Dallas-Fort Worth: Down nearly 4%
- Houston: Down 3%
- Austin: Down a whopping 8%
Rent prices are falling across the state too, with Austin seeing the "sharpest decline" among large metro areas nationwide. When you stop importing millions of people who compete for housing, prices come down. It's basic economics that Democrats refused to acknowledge.
Criminal Aliens Getting REMOVED
The Trump Administration isn't just talking tough on border security — they're taking action. Thousands of dangerous criminal illegal aliens have been removed from Texas streets, including just last week:
An illegal alien convicted of bodily injury to a child under 12 years old — arrested in Harris County. Another convicted of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon — arrested in Harris County. An illegal from Mexico convicted of indecency with a child — arrested in Tarrant County.
These are the people the Biden administration allowed to roam free in our communities. These are the people Democrats called "newcomers" and "asylum seekers." President Trump calls them what they are: criminals who have to go.
Billions Pouring Into Texas Economy
Perhaps nothing demonstrates confidence in the Trump economy more than the tidal wave of investment flooding into the Lone Star State:
- Nvidia: $500 billion in AI infrastructure, with two new factories planned for Texas
- Texas Instruments: $60 billion across manufacturing mega-sites, supporting 60,000+ new jobs
- Google: $40 billion investment including energy initiatives
- Eli Lilly: $6.5 billion manufacturing facility in Houston, creating 615 high-wage jobs
- MP Materials: $1.25 billion rare earth magnet campus, 1,500+ jobs
- Apple: Shifting Mac Mini production to Texas
This is what happens when you have a President who fights for American workers, slashes regulations, and makes it clear that America is open for business.
The Bottom Line
As President Trump lands in Corpus Christi today, he returns to a state that rejected the failed policies of the Biden era and is now reaping the rewards of America First governance. Lower gas prices. Lower taxes. Lower housing costs. Criminals being deported. Billions in investment creating jobs.
The contrast couldn't be clearer. Under Biden, Americans suffered. Under Trump, Americans prosper.
And we're just getting started.
