The Media Can’t Help but Make Trump the Villain of Every Story

Once again, the media is doing everything it can to bury the part of the story that doesn’t fit with their agenda. If you want to understand how completely broken the corporate media has become, look no further than their coverage of the horrific terror attack in Boulder, Colorado. Instead of focusing on inconvenient details, the media turned its fire on Donald Trump because he dared to point out something that doesn’t fit the media’s preferred narrative.

Following Sunday’s appalling antisemitic attack—where eight people were injured after a man shouted “Free Palestine” and launched Molotov cocktails at peaceful protesters—the press has been in full damage control mode. Not for the victims, mind you. For the attacker.

Why? Because the alleged terrorist, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, is an illegal alien.

That’s right. According to the Department of Homeland Security, Soliman entered the U.S. on a B2 tourist visa in August 2022 and then applied for asylum a month later. His visa expired in February 2023, although he briefly had a work permit that expired in March of this year. Meaning, as of now, “he has been in the country illegally,” according to a senior DHS official who spoke to ABC News.

“Yesterday’s horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America,” President Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “He came in through Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly. He must go out under ‘TRUMP’ Policy. Acts of Terrorism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law.”

He added, “This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland. My heart goes out to the victims of this terrible tragedy, and the Great People of Boulder, Colorado!”

That statement, according to ABC News, is the real scandal here. Not the fact that a radical foreign national was allowed to stay in the country long past his legal welcome. Not the fact that he was yelling genocidal threats and trying to incinerate Americans on U.S. soil. No, the left-wing press is too busy clutching their pearls over Trump pointing out the suspect’s immigration status.

“President Donald Trump on Monday responded for the first time to the attack against a crowd of pro-Israel demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, seizing on the that the [sic] suspect was in the United States illegally, according to the Department of Homeland Security,” ABC wrote.

Imagine that being your takeaway from the story.

But, let’s be honest. The real story here isn’t what Trump did or didn’t say. The real story is that the Biden administration let this terrorist into the country, let him overstay his visa, and gave him a work permit, and now—after lives were nearly lost—it’s Trump’s fault for pointing that out.

That’s the response Americans should be hearing. Not this media spin that makes Trump the villain for pointing out what everyone knows: Biden’s broken borders are putting American lives at risk. Sunday’s attack proves it. And the media’s reaction proves they still don’t want you to know.

This is the modern media playbook: Protect the narrative at all costs because they don’t want the public to know that Biden’s reckless immigration policies put lives in danger again, and no amount of media spin will erase the fact that Sunday’s attack could have—and should have—been prevented.
