TRUMP IS BURNING $300 MILLION ON HIMSELF WHILE HIS OWN PARTY DROWNS — AND THE GOP IS TERRIFIED💸🔥🚨
Aug 28, 2026 · 29m
Summary
Rick Wilson argues that Trump’s plan to nationalize the 2026 midterms around himself is a strategic blunder that will hurt vulnerable Republican candidates. He contends that Trump’s shrinking base, economic failures, and perceived corruption make his self-serving ads indefensible and counterproductive. Wilson predicts this approach will alienate moderate Republicans and independents, leading to significant GOP losses in key races.
