Summary

Michael Popock argues that Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada and aggressive Iran strategy are alienating key Midwest voters and harming Republican midterm prospects. He highlights how $30 billion in Canadian counter-tariffs hurt Rust Belt states Trump previously won, while polling shows a growing divide within the GOP over these policies. Popock contends that Trump’s lack of diplomacy and reliance on insults are backfiring, potentially leading to a permanent political realignment by 2028.
