President Donald Trump has had quite the last two weeks, marked by recent policy wins in foreign conflicts, trade deals, the stock market and the U.S. Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Democrats have been busy obstructing Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" and promoting socialist candidate Zohran Mamdan for New York's mayor.
"This is the best six months I have ever seen for a president, and especially in the second term," U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) said Monday on Fox Business Network's "Kudlow." "... What do you think makes President Trump successful? President Trump will make a decision. He will make it, and make it for the United States of America and nobody else. That's the reason he ran on the America First agenda. He makes decisions for America. When you make decisions, usually you have a good chance of something happening. But if you sit back and lean in and let things happen on their own, you're not going to make anything happen. We had to make something happen in this country, and President Trump is the guy to do that, and we're glad he's president. Thank God he's president, to be honest with you."
In contrast to Trump's successes, Tuberville said the Democrats' embrace of socialism might work in some blue cities but is overwhelmingly unpopular everywhere else and has no chance of succeeding at large.
"I remember Venezuela when they were one of the richest countries in the world. Socialism took effect, and they're now one of the poorest countries because you can't just live off everybody else. You have to go out and do the job and work. These people don't remember history. I don't think we teach history anymore in our schools, but we better start learning it because there's not one time in our lifetime that socialism even come close to working, so that's not going to happen in the United States of America. There are a lot of things that will have to happen before even getting close to that. You can have them talk about it in the big blue cities, but it's not going to happen overall in this country."
