This Made Trump Cry

It is truly hilarious irony to me that Donald Trump loving himself more than any other narcissist has ever loved themselves in history. I know that seems like a stretch, but it is the truth that Donald Trump loving himself so much is what is making the Republican Party hate him more than they ever have, and I ever thought they could. We know that MAGA is a cult, but the way that it is falling apart right now is truly delicious to watch, and the way that Republicans are either giving up on themselves or even better giving up on Trump is truly a beautiful thing to watch, and it is all because of his midterm strategy or his lack of midterm strategy. I should really say because it is truly abysmal and it is delicious to watch. Democrats have such an opportunity to deliver a historic blow to not just Trump, but like the long-term future of the Republican Party, which is what we should be focused on, not just this fascist, but maybe the next generation of them, and it is delicious to watch. But it all begins with the fact that this is the most unpopular president in American history, and we need to do everything we can to tie Republicans to him, because this is what his polling looks like, and it's part of the reason Donald Trump is going to cry. >>Hispanic men, hispanic men, Donald Trump put up a historically strong performance for a Republican candidate for President amongst Hispanic men, but the phrase this morning for President Trump is "I Caramba," because look at these shifts. I mean, Hispanic men on Trump. In 2024, he wants among Hispanic men, by ten points, look now where his net appropriating is, down he goes into the Gulf of Mexico, minus 41 points in an average of polls this year. That is Johnny B. By my math, a 51 point switcheroo against the President of the United States, all of that movement, that you saw that historic performance, that President Trump had amongst Hispanic men, Adios Amigos could buy. See you later, as Johnny B. was telling me backstage, these numbers are bonkers. >>I mean, that's a huge swing, a huge swing. >>51 thing is huge. What might be one reason? What is one issue area where we're seeing the impact of this? >>Yeah, it's the economy. It's the economy. We're seeing this across the board, but you're specifically seeing it amongst Hispanic men. I mean, just look at these numbers here. Hispanic men on Trump in the economy. He was more trusted than Kamala Harris on the economy by 11 points. Look at this. You thought a 50-plus point swing was huge. Look at now, his net appropriating here is 49 points under water in an average post. That is a 60-point move away from the President of the United States on the issue that got him re-elected to a second term. It really helped swing his Hispanic men into the Republican comm to a historic degree and all of that movement, all that hard work that Republicans made and did for the 2024 election. It all is just basically gone at this point. A huge swing back against the Republican President Donald John Trump. >>Okay, how might this manifest itself in the midterms? >>Yeah, okay. So it is one thing that you're seeing these big moves among President Trump, right? You're seeing these big moves among Hispanic men for President Trump. But the key question is, will this actually matter when it comes to the ballot boxes? It's one thing, it's not like somebody else, but will you actually pull the lever for the other party? Just look at this. Okay, choice for Congress, Hispanic men. Republicans won him by eight points. Look now, Democrats ahead by 20 points. So yes, what we're seeing amongst Hispanic men and their views of President Trump very much diving towards the negative, absolutely look like they're going to have a massive impact on the midterm elections. Hispanic men now favoring the Democrats by 20. That is, as I finish this out, a 28-point swing against Republican party. If your Republican running for re-election, or Republican running for Congress in these midterm elections, and you think you're going to escape the wrath that President Trump has now amongst Hispanic men, you are sorely, sorely mistaken. These are bonkers, shifts, and Democrats have to really like these numbers. Texas, Arizona, California, where there's a lot of redistricting, but also places like Pennsylvania, this can matter at a lot of different states. You got that right. A lot of states, law, congressional races, and Senate races, as well, such as you mentioned, Texas. All right. Thank you very much, Maryanne. Democrats need to be focused on two things. Tying every person with an R in front of their name, two Donald Trump, because ultimately they will serve him, they will supplicate him, they will bend to his will, even the ones on the way out. John Corning, Tom Tillis, they always capitulate, like that there is no good Republican who will stand up to try, like we got messy, but messy got kicked out by fucking the Israel lobby because he stood up to Trump and because he didn't want the petos to run wild, which tells you a lot about Israel, okay? If they're really that upset about the the petos being held accountable. But, but yeah, this is like, this is, this is it. You got to make them connected to Trump and you got to present in affirmative vision. No left punching, no Hassan Piker freakouts. You can like Hassan or not, but it's not what Haqim Jeffries and Cory Booker and Alyssa Slatkin should be talking about 60 days left, especially because Republicans know they're fucked. They do. And it's because of Trump and it's because of their connection to Trump, and they just can't get away. And this right here, Republicans abandoning the man, it's going to make him cry. Battleground Republicans send Trump team an embarrassing message, even in districts he won by double digits, vulnerable Republicans are quietly telling the president's team to stay away this fall. Nervous Republicans have urged Donald Trump to stay out of their districts as his popularity is in the gutter, according to insiders. Battleground operatives worry that the president is corrosive to their brands, with the Iran war being the final straw enforcing incumbents and challengers to distance themselves from him. The pushback comes even in areas Trump carried by double digits in 2024, according to four GOP operatives who spoke to Politico. Asked whether he wants Trump campaigning in his swing district this fall, Representative Rob Whitman gave a notably indirect answer. Listen, you know, very happy with our campaign and the things that we're doing, he said, sorry, I'm just adding the us because I just assume he was nervous. Very confident with our conversations with voters, I think we've got a campaign plan and we're, you know, we're laser focused on communicating with our constituents and talking about the issues that are important to them. Yeah, that's not an answer. So it seems like it doesn't want Trump to come to his district. Top Republican pollsters have gone further advising some vulnerable incumbents to do what? Oh no, to avoid Trump talking about them or them talking about Trump altogether on the campaign trail or at least limit direct references to him, according to three people with direct knowledge of the matter. We've been told and we've told them he cannot come, said a senior Republican involved in a competitive house race in a district, Trump won by double digits in 2024. Candidly, you would not be helpful here. I do not believe they would send him here with our okay. And if they did, we probably wouldn't campaign with him. One house Republican in a competitive race described this, uh, binds more bluntly. Some of the guidance has been your fucked if you mentioned him too much and you're also fucked if you don't stay in his good graces. So that's the problem. This administration really has created the Schrödinger's Trump campaign mentioned where if you mention him, you're fucked because you're bringing up the war, you're bringing up the files, you're bringing up high prices, you're bringing up the ballroom. But also if you're not mentioning him, the, the voters who traditionally only turn out because Donald Trump's name is on the ballot won't really care. And so you're just like picking your poison here. Either you have low turnout in rural areas or just broadly with Republicans or you get Republicans voting for Democrats. It's just the areas. He's so thoroughly screwed them and no matter what they do, Donald Trump's going to be pissed. And ultimately when Republicans lose the midterms, he's going to blame them. They're going to get even more pissed and do you think they're going to want to do his bidding or try to help him when it's investigation after investigation after investigation? No, they're not going to want to be tied to that shit either because if they are, it will just be another devastating election day come 2028, which sounds delicious. But it's also going to be funny to watch this play out on the 2028 presidential primary because it's going to be sort of an ask kissing competition, right? It's why Pete Hegseth wants to get in the race because he thinks that, you know, maybe Trump will love him and he'll be the bestest boy. But then there's vans. There's, there's Marco. There's, there's Cruz. There's, you know, probably Natalie Harp will run. Maybe Ivanka or Don Jr., I don't even know. Maybe Trump will let Netanyahu do it because he's kind of already running the Republican Party and some people want the Democratic Party too, you know, just saying. But, but that's why it's going to be so funny because they're both going to have to distance themselves and try to curry favor and they're not smart enough to do that. It's just going to be hilarious to watch. And Donald Trump is still just focused on himself. That is what's revealed with every decision he makes, including this upcoming convention, which is going to be one of the bigger disasters in history. Chris A's had some great reporting on this. Truly hilarious stuff. Because if there is one thing that Donald Trump and the Democratic Party, Democratic candidates can agree on, it's at the midterms. This upcoming election should be a referendum on one question. Do you like Donald Trump? Do you think Donald Trump's doing a good job? For Democrats, the logic here is pretty obvious and straightforward. I mean, the guy is among the least popular presidents in modern history. His approval rating is hovering around 34% and trending downward, and probably his favorabilities on everything from cost of living to immigration are all under water. So it makes perfect sense why Democrats would want voters to think about Donald Trump when they go into the ballot box. It is less obvious why making the midterms about Donald Trump would be beneficial for Republicans, except of course, the obvious fact, the president is an egomaniac who demands that everything be about him. The problem that we have is they say that Trump does great when he's on the ballot, but when he's not on the ballot, his people don't come and they don't vote for senators congressmen and other Republicans, and that these people they're running they're great, but if Trump isn't actually on the ballot, so what I really want you to do is pretend please that I'm on the ballot, just come and vote it so important. Okay. So he wanted that to his base, but I hope the voters of Michigan, friends, and understand that that's what it is. It's non-microtters on the ballot, I mean, truly, it's not. It's Donald Trump on the ballot. He's on the ballot in every state, in Alaska, in Maine, in Texas, and if that was not enough to keep the president in front of mind, he's also holding an unprecedented newfangled contraption he's built a midterm party convention in Texas next month, promising it will be the greatest rally of them all, all caps, of course. Now this maybe isn't the worst idea in the world, there's some logic here, right, Texas is a very red state, Trump has carried it three times. It's a place where a bunch of Democrats are pulling competitively in key races, and I'm more on that later in the show. And so you can see an argument, a convention like that could be an excuse to help fundraise and bring some attention to vulnerable Republicans there. Obviously, that's not what's going to happen. No, Trump's just going to make it all about himself. Quote, "I will be with you both nights and rare to go." See you in Dallas, President Donald J. Trump. You guessed it, Trump is speaking both nights of the convention because why not? He's going to tie himself at the hip to every single candidate who appears, there'll be absolutely no way to avoid him. As one anonymous Republican strategist told Puck Quote, "No one understands why we're doing a midterm convention, it's just another show that Trump is going to put on to remind the voters that he is sitting there, and maybe they don't want to be reminded of that." Here's the best part, I really couldn't believe this when I read this detail. Trump is expecting Republicans to pay for the privilege. No, seriously, get this. Puck spoke to three people who reviewed the invitations, who say that the National Republican Gratial Committee is telling House candidates. House candidates, they need to cough up $25,000 to get an invite to the greatest rally of them all. And that's just for the cheap seats. The so-called higher tier package is going to run candidates on to grant. Again, the candidates, the people that. It's like he's trying to make his party lose. And for that, I respect him.
