BREAKING: HOLY SH*T! Trump throws his ENTIRE PARTY under the bus by announcing that he doesn't have to campaign for Republicans since he "already won" his election in 2024. And it gets so much worse for MAGA... Trump also told Punchbowl News that Americans are "angry at Republicans" but not at him. “But they’re not angry at me. They’re not angry at me, but they are angry at Republicans," he added. "I said to somebody, ‘Wait a minute, you don’t understand, I won,’” Trump said. “I’m not campaigning.” He further claimed that the biggest problem facing Republicans in the midterms is that his name won't be on the ballot to drive turnout. In reality, he's a radioactive dead weight around the neck of his entire party with historically low approval ratings. If he were on the ballot, it would likely motivate even more Americans to show up and vote against every Republican running. Of course, a narcissist like Trump can't admit that he's electoral poison because doing so would deflate his turgid ego, the only thing buoying him above the fetid cognitive swamps of his dementia. “If I don’t run, will those people go out and vote? And that’s the one thing I can’t tell, I’m going to ask them to,” he said. Now to be fair, Americans ARE angry with Republicans but that's doesn't occur in a vacuum. They're angry because these right-wing lawmakers refuse to stop Trump or hold him accountable as he starts pointless and illegal wars overseas, drives up the cost of gas and groceries, covers up his role in the Epstein scandal, and lines his family's pockets with billions. This is exactly what Republicans deserve for embracing a sociopathic, self-obsessed, pedophile like Donald Trump. He has proven time and again that he will not hesitate to betray his allies if he finds it strategically advantageous or emotionally comforting. They let the scorpion climb on top of their head and now they're surprised that he stung them. It's possible that, despite what he's saying, Trump knows how unpopular he is and realizes that campaigning for Republicans will hurt their chances. But it's more likely that he has simply decided not to care. It's not like he needs a Republican majority to pass legislation because he has no policy proposals. He has no plans to improve affordability, no healthcare plan, no infrastructure plan. He also knows that even the most crushing blue wave this November will not result in Democrats obtaining the 67 seats in the Senate that they'd need to remove him during impeachment proceedings, so he will get to ride out the rest of his term no matter what. Yes, Democrats will gain subpoena authority and a broad suite of powers to hamper his agenda, but at this point all he cares about is raking in personal wealth. When Democrats inevitably uncover a historic amount of corruption and criminality, Trump is banking on the fact that he can just pardon himself and his cronies. The MAGA era is officially dead and the only Republican who realizes it is Donald Trump. Please ❤️ and share if you're voting blue in the midterms!
