Staff ReportsIn a moment that sent shockwaves through the liberal media, former President Donald Trump made waves at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda after his swearing-in as the 47th president. Among the throngs of supporters, he spotted none other than Texas Governor Greg Abbott, an unexpected but welcome sight for anyone who appreciates strong border policies. The two leaders discussed Abbott’s impressive work in fortifying Texas’ border during an event that seemed to signal optimism for conservative governance.
Trump didn’t miss the opportunity to brag about his impressive performance in historically blue counties along the Texas border, representing a monumental shift in voter sentiment. He extolled Abbott’s efforts, declaring his leadership “phenomenal.” The former president humorously noted his surprise at the governor’s presence, hinting at the delicious irony of praising Abbott right before noticing him in the crowd. It’s not every day one can compliment someone without knowing they were there to hear it, and Trump sure made the most of it.
In what can only be described as a classic Trump moment, he called out how Abbott didn’t just happen to fall into his leadership role but actually fought for border security because he believed in doing the right thing. This wasn’t just smart politics; it was survival. The mention of “self-preservation” draws attention to how conservative policies are not only moral choices but increasingly the popular choice—something Republicans have known all along. While the Democrats are busy selling the idea of open borders, Abbott and Trump were championing what works.
After Trump’s landslide victory in Texas, where he garnered more than 56 percent of the vote, Abbott made it clear that this was just the beginning of a new era for America. His statements about restoring core American values—freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and the rule of law—would resonate with anyone who has been paying attention. While the left bends over backwards to appease foreign nationals, Abbott and Trump promise to prioritize American citizens.

Meanwhile, signs of distress on the front lines couldn’t be overlooked. Illegal immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border were reportedly in tears, realizing that their dreams of sneaking in during a more lenient administration had come crashing down. There’s a certain irony in watching reports of migrants despairing as Trump steps into office, proving once again that conservative policies effectively defend American interests. Usually, the media tries to spin such narratives, but the visuals of disappointed would-be border crossers paint a clear picture of the implications of Trump’s robust border policies.
As the El Paso port of entry swiftly closed moments after Trump took the oath, one thing became evident: both Texas and America are ready for a president who will take border security seriously. With leadership like that of Abbott and Trump, it appears the days of weak immigration policies and wishful thinking may finally be behind us.
