We\u2019re great now. We were terrible two years ago,\u201d Trump told the \u201cFox &amp; Friends\u201d show as Americans voted in elections that could see his Republican Party lose control of Congress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Polls predict Democrats will win the House of Representatives and have a shot at the Senate, and Trump, whose own ratings have plunged, targeted his last-minute message at his right-wing base.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe were a laughing stock all over the world,\u201d he said. \u201cThe leaders of other countries didn\u2019t even take us seriously. They thought we were fools, and we\u2019re hot now. We\u2019re the hottest country in the world. We\u2019re respected by everybody.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re going to keep it that way and get better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his second term, Trump has dramatically cut the number of migrants crossing the US border from Mexico and launched a war on Iran that has caused gas prices to soar for Americans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I took over, the border was open. We were having millions and millions of people pour in, many criminals and murderers,\u201d he said, repeating his often baseless or exaggerated claims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey were released from jails from the Congo in Africa, from all over South America, from Asia. They were pouring into our country. It was just a horrible sight, and they were very dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe inflation is solved,\u201d he added, \u201cAnd the Hormuz Strait, we have total control of it with the Navy blockade (on Iran). I mean, everything\u2019s going good.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCar companies are pouring in because they don\u2019t want to pay tariffs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2026\/11\/trump-cites-immigration-iran-tariffs-in-election-day-pitch\/\">Trump cites immigration, Iran, tariffs in election day pitch<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source: <\/p>\n<div class=\"nSourse\">Vanguard News<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Donald Trump defended his record Tuesday in a final TV phone-in pitch to voters on the morning of midterm elections, saying he had rebuilt the country through his&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7801,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7800"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7800\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7801"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7800"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
