Trump's Secret Midterms Confession Spells Doom for GOP

[Zorro]

President Donald Trump isn’t too optimistic about his own party’s odds in the midterms, insiders have revealed.

Trump, 79, has even told aides he doesn’t care about the outcome of the crucial November elections, sources familiar with his comments told The Wall Street Journal as his party scrambles to hold on to its razor-thin majority in Congress.

Those same sources say the president has privately raged against the GOP for, as he sees it, failing to do enough of his bidding. Among other grievances, Trump has vented frustrations over the party’s failure to enact his controversial SAVE Act, a measure that would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections.

Publicly, Trump has repeatedly complained that the party in power almost always takes a beating in the midterms, seemingly bracing his supporters for a looming disaster that he apparently has confided privately he has no real intention to avoid.

Reached for comment, White House spokesman Kush Desai claimed that Americans will benefit by keeping Republicans in the majority in Congress.

1. He doesn't give a rip about anyone but himself. No one except maybe Ivanka.

Good luck with this. Less is sometimes more, not that he can imagine everyone NOT wanting to hear from him.

Trump is expected to hit the campaign trail as many as 30 times before November, according to the report, with the White House hoping to use him to sway voters who might otherwise not vote.

2. I certainly do hope he sways voters who might otherwise not vote.

If you get my meaning.

3. Saying he doesn't care is his pouty way of saying he expects to lose.

He has been told what the polls/data/etc show and he is protecting his wet-tissue-paper-fragile ego by asserting disinterest.

If he is seen trying to avert a loss and still loses, that makes the loss bigger or more painful somehow.

4. Already hearing the whining and.. ...

the blame game and republicans are the victims while wrapping themselves with the American flag and holding the Bible.

Republicans, some of them are justifying the high prices and we need to deal with it.
