Donald Trump has been worried about the 2026 midterm elections since his return to power. Trump, as a term-limited president, was already operating on borrowed time. For Trump to remain relevant, Republicans needed to maintain control of Congress. Trump knows what happens to incumbent presidents in midterm elections, which is why he has developed a plan to restructure enough congressional districts to keep Republicans in the majority by pressuring red states to engage in unprecedented redistricting in the middle of the decade to eliminate seats where voters are more likely to support Democrats.

Sometimes even someone like Donald Trump senses reality. One of the reasons the corporate media loves Donald Trump so much is that he continues to treat the mainstream media like it’s the only thing that matters. For months, polls have shown that the nation is turning against Donald Trump, but it took a New York Times poll to push him over the edge.The New York Times reported:Less than a third of voters think the country is better off than it was when President Trump returned to the White House a year ago, with a large majority saying he focused on…

The Trump economy is really good if you are an American billionaire or millionaire. The further down the profit tree you go, the worse the economy is perceived to be. For people living on a fixed income or paycheck to paycheck, the ever-rising prices of basic necessities besides gasoline have made the situation worse.Polls ask a lot of the usual questions about approval and disapproval, but they don’t often ask people their opinions or divide people by income in very specific ways.

Donald Trump took the stage and in Davos and did better than Tuesday in the White House briefing room where he bored a national television audience to death by mumbling as he read from a book of made-up stories in an attempt to justify ICE’s actions, in which Trump suggested that Renée Good, who was murdered by ICE, and the people around her were paid professional adjectives.Europe was worried about what it was going to do about Trump, as the president hinted and suggested he might use military force to seize Greenland.

It’s a brutally honest fact: Trump, at 80, doesn’t travel well. There’s a reason he appears on the world stage less and less and his travels get shorter and shorter as he gets older. Trump shows his age and declines even more when he travels. PoliticusUSA is not beholden to any political party or special interest. We are 100% independent.

It’s easy for Americans who have been battling Donald Trump for a decade to forget that the rest of the world has not been subjected to the version of Trump they have under his second administration.Under the first administration of Donald Trump, particularly on foreign policy, he was held to some extent under the control of people who knew what they were doing and told him no.These people do not exist in the second Trump administration.PoliticusUSA is not beholden to any political party or special interest.

Donald Trump’s 25th Amendment tested his second administration before taking office. As I explained in my recent video and article, Trump chose loyalty over competence when choosing his cabinet. The president did this for a reason. Not only did he prevent members of his administration from saying no to him, but Trump also ensured that no one in his administration could muster the support necessary to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove him from office.PoliticusUSA is not beholden to any political party or special interest.

The Trump administration has attempted to silence dissent in the United States. In many ways, they failed. Two of the largest protests against a president in American history took place during the first year of Donald Trump’s second term.Trump took over the Kennedy Center and put his name on it, but that was accompanied by waves of artists canceling concerts and showing no interest in performing there. Beyond Trump, there is also the problem of many artists and performers who turn a blind eye and refuse to say anything, fearing they will alienate a portion of their audience or lose…
