President Trump needs to finish the wall and engage in the largest deportation operation in American history to undo the Biden border invasion.
In a 2025 op-ed he called for the largest deportation operation in American history and praised funding for expanded ICE detention capacity and more ICE agents.[5]
The Court’s decision to strike down President Trump’s tariff policy is egregiously wrong, both as a matter of law and as a matter of justice for American workers.
After the Supreme Court struck down tariffs imposed under IEEPA, he criticized the ruling and introduced the U.S. Reciprocal Trade Act to authorize the President to impose reciprocal tariffs.[9]
