Reactions to Trump and the Capitol Riot
In a recent video, a supporter of former President Donald Trump expressed their desire for him to pardon them. When questioned about their involvement in the Capitol riot on January 6th, they denied any wrongdoing and mentioned feeling “screwed” by the system. They also stated that they felt the media did not properly represent the events of that day and expressed support for Trump’s plan to pardon convicted felons related to January 6th.
Views on Immigration and Israel
The supporter also discussed their views on immigration, stating their desire for Trump to immediately close the borders upon re-election. They also expressed strong support for Trump’s policies regarding Israel and their belief that Hamas, as elected leaders, should be held accountable for their actions.
When asked about potential negotiation with Hamas for peace in the Israel-Palestine conflict, the supporter emphasized the need for strong allyship with Israel, using the example of the 9/11 attacks to illustrate the importance of supporting a nation under attack.
Views on Trump’s Conviction
The supporter expressed disregard for Trump’s conviction, claiming it to be unjust and part of a broader scheme to prevent him from running for office again. They also compared Trump’s conviction to that of Hunter Biden, pointing out what they perceived as a double standard in the public's reaction to the two cases.
Immigration and Border Control
As an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, the supporter expressed concerns about the current state of immigration, particularly the openness of the border and lack of control over who is entering the country. They emphasized the lengthy and rigorous process they had to go through to establish residence in the United States and criticized the system for allowing individuals to enter without proper scrutiny.
In response to recent crackdowns on illegal immigration by the Biden Administration, the supporter voiced support for stricter border control measures but also expressed skepticism about the administration’s true intentions, viewing it as a political move rather than a genuine effort to address immigration issues.
Conclusion
The video provides a glimpse into the perspectives of a Trump supporter on various issues, ranging from his potential pardons for January 6th convictions to immigration policies and views on Israel. It sheds light on the complexity of viewpoints within Trump’s base and the different factors that influence their continued support for the former president.
