GOP split over whether Trump’s de-escalation efforts in Minnesota is a ‘retreat’
This affects the entire country.
The GOP has taken a mixed response to President Donald Trump‘s efforts to tamp down violent interactions between Minnesota protesters and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
Many Republicans championed Trump sending border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota in the aftermath of a second protester’s death over the weekend. But other MAGA supporters have slammed Trump’s behavior as a retreat, akin to handing anti-ICE protesters victory.
Trump’s efforts to reset the narrative include demoting Gregory Bovino from the Border Patrol’s commander of at-large operations overseeing ICE embeds. Bovino will return to his job overseeing Border Patrol operations in El Centro, California.
Before jetting off to Iowa on Tuesday, Trump also told reporters that he did not think Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse fatally shot by Border Patrol agents, was acting like an assassin, despite previous comments from Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy. Miller accompanied Trump to Iowa, but Noem did not.
“No. No, I don’t think so,” Trump said when asked.
“With that being said, you can’t have guns,” he continued. “You can’t walk in with guns. But it’s a very unfortunate incident.”

“This is a retreat, and it ain’t a strategic retreat,” Steve Bannon said during a Tuesday broadcast of his show WarRoom. “Why is that? Because the people around the president. You see who set up the phone calls. Frey and Walz are spiking the football.”
“We’re at war,” he added. “If you don’t think we’re at war, then you’re going to play conventional politics. Oh, you know, that poll of independents, you know, we’re slipping in that poll of independents. If you play by conventional methods, you’re going to lose, because they’re not playing by conventional methods.”
Former Trump campaign surrogates pushed back against allegations that Trump was retreating in an interview with the Washington Examiner.
“It is not a retreat,” said Autry Pruitt, who served as a Trump surrogate in 2016. “President Trump, through the polling that I’ve seen so far, is experiencing a public relations problem, if you will. Americans do not want to see citizens gunned …
