## Resource

Trump’s “I alone can fix it” message is back, even as he dodges the ballot box—using his convention speech to demand voters pretend he’s running, a tactic that’s worked before but now turns this year’s midterms into a direct referendum on his presidency. Republicans are doubling down with culture war attacks and a bold $5K stimulus promise if they win Congress, while touting economic wins and immigration control. But Trump’s fading approval—especially on economy and immigration—exposes cracks in his core appeal. His influence still looms large: JD Vance praises him, and Trump actively backs GOP candidates, even as some fear the baggage. With 2028 looming, the party’s future hinges on whether Trump’s charisma can outlast his controversies. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
