shared<\/a> a segment from her show on social media and wrote, \u201cIf I had to summarize the first year of President Trump\u2019s second term in one word, it would be: dignity. From his foreign policy to his domestic policy to his immigration policy, the goal has been restoring the dignity of the forgotten working-class men & women of this country.\u201d<\/p>\nIn the clip, Ungar-Sargon says, \u201cThe president gave a speech to the nation on Wednesday. He talked about all of his accomplishments this year: closing the border, bringing down the cost of drugs, and creating jobs. To me, the common theme of it all is dignity\u2014dignity restored to the forgotten men and women of the heartland.\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what Trump\u2019s entire year has been about, from the economic policy to the immigration policy to the foreign policy. How does deporting day laborers and landscapers bring dignity to the working class? Aren\u2019t they just doing jobs Americans won\u2019t do? Well, no. Contrary to the myth promulgated by the left, there isn\u2019t a single industry in America that\u2019s dominated by illegals.<\/p>\n
Not one has more than a 30% share of illegal labor. Migrants aren\u2019t doing jobs Americans won\u2019t do. They\u2019re doing jobs Americans do and get paid much less for because their employers have a much cheaper choice if their American employees say no. Mass deportations tighten the labor market. They give working-class Americans a fair shot at the American dream again in exchange for hard work. And the tariffs are accomplishing something very similar. Since Liberation Day, economists have promised that the tariffs would be passed on to consumers. But it\u2019s been nine months, and that just hasn\u2019t happened. Instead, in a massive redistribution of wealth, American corporations and China ate the tariffs, paying over $200 billion into the Treasury. Less than a fifth of that was passed on to consumers, representing just 0.7% of the total consumer price index. It was President Trump, a Republican, who made American corporations pay a massive greedflation tax.<\/p>\n
Ungar-Sargon\u2019s post quickly generated a bevy of scathing replies, many coming from pundits much further to the right. Reason\u2019s Nick Gillespie replied by urging her to \u201cAdjust your meds!\u201d<\/p>\n
The Dispatch\u2019s Jonah Goldberg simply replied with a meme showing a man getting comically stoned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NewsNation host Batya Ungar-Sargon kicked up a firestorm of mockery over the weekend with some praise of President…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":365522,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[198543,64,63,2490,28245,137,490,115085,198544],"class_list":{"0":"post-365521","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-medication","8":"tag-american-corporations","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-donald-trump","12":"tag-foreign-policy","13":"tag-health","14":"tag-medication","15":"tag-newsnation","16":"tag-working-class-americans"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=365521"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365521\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/365522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=365521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=365521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=365521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
