(Jun. 10, 2025) — Less than five months into his second term, President Donald Trump faces a test of his presidency: how to handle the riots in Los Angeles.
The way Trump manages this event could shape the rest of his presidency.
You’ve probably seen the photos and videos of burning cars and Mexican flags, and you may have read some of the explosive rhetoric about it.
Let’s be clear about it what’s really going on: rioters and their supporters don’t want Trump to enforce our immigration laws. It’s that simple.
A real leader has to make difficult decisions. But in so doing, he also forces others to face similar choices.
“Latino activists” for example: are they siding with their “community,” or are they aligned with the United States of America? The question is that simple.
Latino activists have been coddled and encouraged to promote the idea that Hispanics have different interests than other Americans.

If it is, maybe we should spell out those differences. Perhaps all Americans have a say in our nation’s future.
On the other hand, if Latinos maintain the same interests as other Americans, what’s the big deal? Treat them like anybody else.
As for the Mexican flags being brandished in the riots, this ought to make things crystal clear for the public.
