Why Blackpilling On Trump Is Stupid:
Despite disappointments, there are still many good reasons why America First patriots should not despair but instead continue to support Trump.
Sixteen months into the second Trump administration, many are weighing the president’s successes on his agenda, especially in light of the upcoming midterm elections in November.

It has become very fashionable in certain circles of the internet and social media for right-wing influencers and voters to cast aspersion on the Trump administration, expressing intense skepticism at best and outright hostility at worst. This fatalistic phenomenon, known as “blackpilling,” has markedly increased in the wake of the ongoing Iran conflict since February. 

With Trump swept back into office in the 2024 election upon an incredible backlash of populist support against the rank corruptions and disastrous policies of the Biden regime, the president’s supporters were optimistic about the possibilities for reform. Nevertheless, there have been many occasions for disappointment among loyal Trump supporters.

We want deep-state actors and Antifa criminals to face justice. We have yet to see even a fraction of the aggressive prosecutions, punishments, and deployments of force against ongoing left-wing violence, despite prosecutions repeatedly being weaponized against right-wing activists and loyalists under the previous administration.

As attorney general, Pam Bondi seemed lethargic, even causing the president to criticize her. The retirement of Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino, previously the public face of the mass deportations operation, has come as a big blow to Trump loyalists. And, of course, the war with Iran is the subject of reasonable skepticism from Trump supporters who want to prioritize domestic issues and eschew further Middle Eastern wars, especially when the campaign is aggressively advocated by the Israeli government with seeming indifference to American interests. 

But despite these disappointments, there are still many concrete and rational reasons why America First patriots should not despair but instead loyally, though not uncritically, support President Trump. Voters should be honest, yet honesty requires not merely listing failures or discouragements but also keeping perspective, documenting wins, and fairly examining all the reasons not to give up.

Since January 2025, the Trump administration has been moving at a record pace to bring reforms. There’s not nearly enough space here to cover them all, so here are just a few highlights.

Immigration

Immigration was likely the biggest issue of Trump’s campaign, and his administration is delivering unprecedented results on both illegal and legal immigration. While many have suggested the Trump administration is backing away from mass deportations, the numbers do not show that, instead showing consistently high levels of arrests, detentions, and deportations.

As a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill passed last summer, the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Customs and Border Protection have received the largest increase in funding ever, funding that is supporting hiring thousands of new agents and building migrant detention centers across the country. The Trump administration has repeatedly stated that all illegal aliens are subject to detention and removal, and the statistics show that the administration is not merely targeting the “worst of the worst” criminal aliens, but that detentions and deportations of illegal aliens without an additional criminal record are also increasing.

The administration seeks to end welfare benefits for illegal aliens and to remove all incentives for them to remain in the U.S. With this increased regulatory pressure, self-deportations could increase exponentially. The administration has also set a new record for the number of 287(g) legal partnerships with local law enforcement agencies, thus deputizing them to help carry out federal immigration law. While the removal numbers are lower than many voters would like, these are still the largest mass deportations of illegal aliens ever undertaken by a presidential administration. 

On the issue of legal immigration, the Trump administration has revoked more than 100,000 visas. While the administration has been unable to oversee a change in the law due to congressional gridlock and impotence, it has seriously reduced the number of H-1B work visas issued to foreigners and worked to revoke Temporary Protected Status for many countries. For the first time in 50 years, in 2025, the U.S. experienced a net negative migration rate. Also, the rate of naturalizations has fallen off, as the Trump administration has increased scrutiny of those seeking citizenship. And Trump is the first president ever to openly challenge the prevailing left-wing interpretation of “birthright citizenship,” fighting for American sovereignty and the value of citizenship.
