Candace Owens slams Donald Trump over campaign promises
Political commentator Candace Owens slammed President Donald Trump for not delivering on his promises in a new YouTube video posted on March 9, 2026.
“Donald Trump has very clearly betrayed the American people,” Owens began in the video, “You need to accept that. I’ve had to accept that.” Owens asserted that the President had betrayed “every last single one of us.”
She continued, “The very people we had to fight to get Trump into office, he is now partnered with and insulting us, and he thinks we’re too stupid to notice or something? He promised low gas prices. He promised no more forever wars, no more involvement in Middle East conflict. And we are now getting the exact opposite.”
Owens pointed out how Trump promised there would be no wars, but the United States has been involved in a full-blown conflict over the past weeks.
“That’s happening because he’s a coward,” Owens said about the war, “He is a coward for doing this to the American people, and that’s going to be his legacy.” Owens further added that Kirk was the first victim of the Iran War. “Trump has [spent more time] debunking whether he’s balding than he’s done [investigating who murdered Kirk], who was a good friend,” Owens claimed, “Trump has loyalty to no one but himself.”
She concluded, saying, “People feel completely duped. If there’s one thing I’m grateful for is that the left and the right are coming to this understanding: it’s not an either-or. We lose every single time…They move us to constantly give more power to them…It’s how they argue to get to that thing: left versus right.”
