Matt Walsh has reacted to Donald Trump's recent claims about his deportation policies. The POTUS said that it being "too tough" might have led to the Republicans' defeat in the midterm elections.

The Democrats won the US midterm elections and will have control of the Senate and the House starting in January 2027. Many states, including Texas, were flipped during the elections. Many analysts and political commentators have shared their thoughts on it, including Matt Walsh.

During a recent interview on 60 Minutes, the POTUS said that his deportation policies played a part in the Republicans' defeat. Walsh responded to this in a post on X (formerly Twitter), writing on Monday, November 9:

"The policy was not too tough. There need to be more deportations, not fewer. The mistake was staging deportation theater with Kristi Noem out on ICE raids dressed like Tomb Raider. Don’t call so much attention to it. Don’t have government accounts on X posting spicy memes about it. Just go do it, efficiently and professionally. Is that option even being considered?"

Meanwhile, in his interview, Trump said many people said that his deportation policies "were great", but added that some thought it was "too tough". He said:

"I get hurt because we also took people that had good jobs, that created one violation, or breaking of the law, and that was that they came into the country illegally. Now, there is a large part of the country that thinks that they should be put out. And there's a large part of the country that thinks that they should be allowed to stay if they're good people working in a landscaping company, or working in a hotel, or doing something, right? And in some cases, paying taxes."

The 80-year-old added that his policies also helped him, saying that he "got an A+ for closing up the border".

Following the US midterm results, Matt Walsh has taken several digs at Donald Trump on X. He has slammed his policies and his campaign, blaming them for the Republicans' defeat.

In a post on November 5, he wrote:

"Trump has been talking down to the American people for his entire second term, something he never did in the first. It started with the Epstein debacle. Now that he’s losing and unpopular, he’s going to point the finger at his own citizens with no concern for what his meltdown will do to the future of the conservative movement or the Republican Party. It’s going to get worse and uglier."
"The worst thing conservatives can do now is feel any obligation at all to defend this bulls**t. It’s indefensible and we all know it," he added.

The political commentator has previously spoken up against the US and Israel's conflict with Iran. He also questioned Trump's order to change the name of AI (Artificial Intelligence) to SI (Super Intelligence).

In another X post, Walsh urged the Republicans to find a new leader, with the POTUS being 80 years old.
