There is a blue wave, hopefully a f*cking tsunami, about to hit the midterms, which are right around the corner. Republicans know it's coming, but the leader of their party isn't so sure. According to Punchbowl News, the President still believes that Republicans will keep control of the House and Senate after the 2026 midterms.
Still, if there is a wipeout, Trump said it's not his fault. Nothing ever is his fault; ask him!
Trump insists the upcoming midterm bloodbath for Republicans has nothing to do with him — despite polling at 35 percent approval. In a Punchbowl interview released Friday, he told Jake Sherman that voters are furious with the GOP, just not with him personally: "They're angry at Republicans, but they're not angry at me."
His logic: since he's not on the ballot in November, why would his numbers matter? "If I am not running, will those people go out and vote?" he asked, conceding plenty of MAGA voters are "very angry at Republicans."
He also had notes on his own party's temperament, complaining that Republicans are too polite for their own good — "much more gentle than the Democrats," as he put it.
Yeah, sure, 'polite.' That's certainly not the word I would use to describe MAGA Republicans. Maybe his colleagues should call Democrats 'Dumocrats,' and that would do it! Trump claimed he coined the term in May 2026 while criticizing House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who, he now said, he thinks he could do business with.
Nothing is ever his fault. Not the polls, not the party, not the "too nice" Republicans about to lose their jobs in November. Must be nice.
