Some top Democrats shared surprising sentiments about President Donald Trump during the Hill Nation Summit.
For all the leftist bellyaching about tyranny and the death of democracy, Democrats can’t help but respect Trump.
“Donald Trump’s a very talented politician, right? I don’t agree with him as a leader. He’s a very talented politician,” said Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., adding praise for the likes of NYC mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
He also noted that his own party has often been “way too judgmental,” which has resulted in the alienation of Americans who voted for Trump.
“We acted as if the problem was the voters; the problem was the party, and we acted with a condescension and a judgment on voters,” he said, noting that the party “has not had a compelling economic vision for years.”
Democratic strategist Fred Hicks encouraged party leaders to “study winners” like Trump so the Democrats can finally have a chance at winning over voters.
“You can’t understand how to win by repeating losing behavior; you have to study winners. And the reality is that Trump has won two of his three elections. I think it’s prudent to understand how Republicans have earned the votes of so many people.”
“I could spend the next hour talking about things I don’t like about this presidency or about MAGA, but I will give him some real credit on foreign policy,” explained Rep. Jim Himes, pointing out the president’s “practical approach” to foreign policy in the Middle East.
“I mean, the opening to Syria, I did not anticipate that. That’s pretty amazing…. I give the president and his administration credit for this — to build up and support the Syrian regime,” he admitted.
“The problem in American politics right now is that if your team runs the play, then it’s OK; if the other team does it, then it’s not. What that has done is that’s created a deficit of trust in our system, amongst voters, everyday people,” said Hicks.
