Trump Stares Down Deadly Blue Wave
Coming To Drown Him
Hello Folks,
President Donald Trump will deliver his State of the Union address to the American people tonight, about which Fox News reported: “President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address will put the economy front and center, pairing working-family guests with a data-driven case on affordability — while also making economic policy announcements”, and the latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll revealed: “As President Trump is set to deliver his first official State of the Union address of his second term, most Americans say the country is worse off than a year ago and that the state of the union is not strong”.
The Americans believing the country is worse off than a year ago and that the state of the union is not strong would be wise to read the White House site “365 WINS IN 365 DAYS: President Trump’s Return Marks New Era of Success, Prosperity” that documents with facts how deluded their thinking really is, but is wisdom surely lacking as it was just observed: “The United States spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents”.
Examples of the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents include the young American woman having a mental breakdown over her rat infested apartment in socialist Democrat Party controlled New York City, and the young American woman that fled to socialist Canada from socialist Democrat Party controlled Los Angeles, who posted the warning: “The situation in Canada is absolutely dire for Americans who don’t know...The housing crisis here is worse than in the United States...I lived in LA for six years, and I have not faced rent as bad as it is here”.
Placed in the category of “there must be something in the water”, at least for fake news CNN, was CNN chief international correspondent Clarissa Ward breaking the socialist narrative to openly admit Ukrainians are broken after four years of war, then CNN chief political commentator Fareed Zakaria broke the socialist narrative to truthfully admit: “Blue cities are out of control, promising more, spending more, delivering less, and pushing off the fiscal problems to some future day...What is the theory of good government here?...If the answer is keep adding programs, the city will keep producing unaffordability, because unaffordability is what happens when government becomes a machine that grows faster than the society it governs”.
What President Trump is staring down tonight during his State of the Union address is a deadly Blue Wave election from socialist Democrats coming to drown him, and Professor Dan Cassino of Government and Politics at Fairleigh Dickinson University assessed: “It’s nine months before the midterm elections that will determine who controls the House of Representatives and the fate of any legislation President Donald Trump might want to pass in the second half of his term, but it’s the decisions of candidates, not voters, that are likely to shape the outcome...Long before the first ballot is cast, the expectation of a wave election for Democrats is becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy”.
One of the foremost experts on American wave elections is political commentator Mark Halperin, who was expelled from the leftist mainstream media community after he said about a press conference President Obama gave in 2011: “I thought he was kind of a dick”, and he just revealed details about a high-level Republican Party meeting held last week:
Tuesday night at the
Capitol Hill Club, just steps from the House office buildings and a world away
from cable news hysteria, the senior Trump political command gathered its core
team to talk midterms.
It was not a rally. It was
not a pep talk. It was a working session
— about two hours, a chicken-and-steak buffet, roughly 75 to 100 people in the
room, many of them Cabinet secretaries and their top aides, almost all
political veterans.
The mood, according to one
attendee, was not panicked. Not
shaken. But not
sanguine, either. Just focused. The
kind of focus that comes from knowing that, at the moment, the patterns of
history are not on your side.
Midterms are almost always
brutal for a president’s party. Since
World War II, the president’s party has lost House seats in all but a handful
of elections. The average loss is measured
not in single digits but in dozens. The
modern political era is replete with examples: 1994 for Bill Clinton, 2010 for
Barack Obama, 2018 for Donald Trump himself.
The gravitational pull of backlash is real.
Which is why Tuesday night’s
meeting mattered.
Susie Wiles, the
president’s chief political architect and one of the most disciplined operators
in either party, hosted and spoke briefly.
Then pollster and strategist Tony Fabrizio
took over, presenting roughly 25 slides of data — demographics, issue salience,
message testing and a summary of what breaks through and what falls flat.
The headline: The economy will be THE issue at the
polls this November.
Not immigration.
Not foreign policy. Not Epstein
or the border. Not investigations or
indictments or Jan. 6 retrospectives. The economy.
Fabrizio’s data showed that certain messages
resonated with key voters: banning stock trading for members of Congress;
promoting greater transparency in health insurance pricing and claims reimbursement;
lowering prescription drug costs; and protecting the Trump tax cuts. Housing affordability, especially for younger
voters, looms large — a kitchen-table issue with generational bite, though one
the administration has yet to solve, either politically or through policy.
Notably, taking credit for
closing the border does not resonate nearly as much as Republicans might
assume. It’s not that voters oppose
border enforcement; many simply see it as baseline governance rather than a life-changing
economic intervention.
The persuadable universe is
also narrower than partisans often imagine: men, moderates, true independents
and Hispanic voters. These are the
movable pieces on the board.
When addressing the group, Fabrizio was not pessimistic, but nor was he
sentimental. He urged the team to
prioritize specialized podcasts and social media over national news
interviews. Paid media, he argued,
should be highly targeted — digital, demographic and data-driven — rather than
sweeping broadcast or even cable buys.
Facebook remains king for voter reach, followed by Instagram and TikTok.
The information ecosystem is fragmented and
specific; campaigns that pretend it is still 2004, with its homey, conventional
mainstream vibe, are wasting money.
The battlefield, at least
for now, is defined. There are 36
targeted House races and seven key Senate races that will determine the balance
of power.
The Senate math, as
presented, is favorable to Republicans unless something dramatic shifts. One striking assertion: the only way
Republicans lose their Senate majority is if Democrats take 50 House seats — a
wave scenario of historic proportions, made difficult because redistricting has
placed the vast majority of House seats safely in the hands of one party or the
other, barring a massive tsunami.
After Fabrizio
came James Blair, the White House’s political czar,
armed with an ice-cold bucket of galvanizing history. It is rare — exceedingly rare, he told the
assembly — for a president’s party not to lose a significant number of seats in
a midterm.
Blair pointed to the recent
special election in
You cannot argue voters
into believing wages are up, he said.
They have to feel it. Economic
statistics do not automatically translate into economic security, nor do they
take precedence over personal bank accounts and family budgets. And some good, old-fashioned opposition
research painting Democratic candidates as out of step with the electorate can
do wonders.
Perhaps the most candid
moment of the evening came when Team Trump acknowledged a central reality of
this presidency: Donald Trump will do what he wants to do. He will say what he wants to say. He will not be governed by slide decks,
message matrices or pleas from Republican candidates and strategists.
The rest of the political
apparatus, therefore, must be relentlessly data-driven and on message — two
separate but related campaigns running in parallel: one instinctual and
improvisational, the other disciplined and empirical
The Trump high command
expects Democrats to run largely on a "Stop Trump" message. History suggests that is not a foolish
approach. Opposition parties in midterms
often succeed by nationalizing the election as a referendum on the
president.
But referendums cut both ways. If voters decide
the question is not "How do you feel about Donald Trump?" but
"How do you feel about your cost of living?" the terrain shifts.
Ironically, for all the
caricatures of chaos, arrogance and impulse that surround Trump world, the
Capitol Hill Club meeting was a sober, methodical session. Cabinet secretaries such as Scott Bessent,
Howard Lutnick, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Sean Duffy
attended, along with senior aides — not to posture or network, but to listen.
No one in the room thought
the midterms would be easy. No one
suggested the president’s party was immune to natural political rhythms and
swings. But neither did they prepare for
inevitable defeat.
The White House officials
acted as an alert and cohesive team — one that understands the rules of the
game and believes it can bend them.
In
While preparing to stare down the Blue Wave coming to drown him, President Trump truthfully observed during a ceremony at the White House yesterday: ”I don’t know how long I’ll be around...I got a lot of people gunning for me”.
If President Trump is courageous enough to publically acknowledge his socialist enemies may kill him, my hope is that you will be brave enough to support the Dear Sisters, who fearlessly keep giving you truth and facts, and will fight to make sure no socialist Blue Wave will drown the American leader or its peoples.
