As if sensing that his presidency is imploding, Donald Trump went on social media this morning and admitted that the 2026 midterm elections “will be brutal” for him and Republicans unless the GOP eliminates the Senate filibuster and gives him absolute power to do as he pleases.
Here’s Donnie’s latest feverish screed:
“The Democrats are far more likely to win the Midterms, and the next Presidential Election, if we don’t do the Termination of the Filibuster (The Nuclear Option!), because it will be impossible for Republicans to get Common Sense Policies done with these Crazed Democrat Lunatics being able to block everything by withholding their votes. FOR THREE YEARS, NOTHING WILL BE PASSED, AND REPUBLICANS WILL BE BLAMED. Elections, including the Midterms, will be rightfully brutal. If we do terminate the Filibuster, we will get EVERYTHING approved, like no Congress in History. We will have FAIR, FREE, and SAFE Elections, No Men in Women’s Sports or Transgender for Everybody, Strong Borders, Major Tax and Energy Cuts, and will secure our Second Amendment, which the Democrats will also terminate, IMMEDIATELY. If we don’t do it, they are far more likely to do well in the upcoming Elections, which would mean a PACKED Supreme Court, 2 more States and 4 more Democrat Senators (D.C. and Puerto Rico), and 8 more Electoral Votes. Remember, Republicans, they are going to end the Filibuster as soon as they get the chance We know this because they already tried, and the only two people who didn’t go along are now out of office. But they have much less chance of WINNING if we have Great Policy Wins after Wins after Wins. IN FACT, THEY WILL LOSE BIG, AND FOR A VERY LONG TIME. TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER NOW, END THE RIDICULOUS SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATELY, AND THEN, MOST IMPORTANTLY, PASS EVERY WONDERFUL REPUBLICAN POLICY THAT WE HAVE DREAMT OF, FOR YEARS, BUT NEVER GOTTEN. WE WILL BE THE PARTY THAT CANNOT BE BEATEN – THE SMART PARTY!!!”
He sounds worried, doesn’t he? Based on the latest polling data, he and his party should be very nervous, because they’re hated by the vast majority of voters.
On Monday, new polling showed that Trump’s approval numbers had cratered, according to a report from Newsweek.
“President Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit a new low, according to a new polling average.”
“According to RealClearPolitics, which aggregates several polls, the president’s net approval rating is at -8.9 percentage points, the lowest in his second term so far, as per the website’s tracker.”
Trump is underwater by almost 9 percentage points, and with each day of the government shutdown he helped orchestrate, more Americans are blaming him for rising inflation and his lack of focus on the economy, which he claimed would be his main focus in a second term.
Responses to Trump’s feverish posting were immediate and harsh.
Let’s hope Trump’s prediction is correct. If there are no checks on his madness after 2026, this country is doomed.
