"It's a perfect statement. I'll make it again. Everybody agrees." trump said today

about his infamous comment that he does not think about American's financial situation "even a little bit."

That's right, donnie. Double down on that. Sounds like the "perfect" strategy.

To all the media speculating about a "reset" before the midterms with either he or the R's pivoting to the economy, it will never happen.

I am guessing the man was in his 30's. I only heard a portion of the conversation, but he stated how he couldn't believe that Trump said he did not care about the American people and their financial situation. I would suspect that he had been a Trump supporter, but I don't think he supports him anymore. We should make a commercial with Trump making those comments and play it over and over. It gives me a bit of hope that people are finally seeing reality.

double down on it unless you have a plan to steal the midterms.

Everyone should ask themselves this: Are top Republicans acting like they don't care about the midterms?

Some sort.of fix is in. You can bet on that.

but yes, why is the entire GOP still lining up to suck off Trump, seemingly dismissing his disastrous approval ratings? SOME kind of fix is going on besides their sheer gerrymandering efforts.

but I honestly believe that the people will make their voices heard in numbers to big to ignore.
