Right now Trump and his team are gauging everything they do through the lens of “How will this effect the midterms?” They have sophisticated polling that you and I will never see, and at the moment every Trump action is tempered by “Let’s be aggressive but not in such a way it turns public opinion against us before the midterms.”
Trump knows that if he loses the midterms, all is lost. The Dems will constantly impeach him and most of his cabinet, and even if the Senate never convicts, the acts of impeachment will grind the Trump machine to a halt.
The midterms are everything.
So I’m warning you, from now until November you are going to see a less aggressive Trump. If you are a Doomster for whom nothing is ever enough, you need to understand why that is.
But here is the good news. I believe that one day after the midterms Trump will once again go shock and awe for a year, and then back off again in 2028 to get JD or Rubio elected. (For example, I can easily see Trump taking zero drastic action in the near term to further inflame the Minnesota situation, but invoking the Insurrection Act the day after the midterms and sending in the 82nd.)
Since the Super Bowl is coming up, consider it this way: In the first quarter, Trump ran up the score. In the second quarter, he went prevent defense to hold onto the lead. After halftime, once again in the third quarter he will run up the score, and then hold the lead in the fourth quarter to win the game.
This is not Qtard “trust the plan” nonsense. This is simply good political strategy.
Everyone needs to realize two things: (1) the Constitution includes checks and balances that inherently weaken the absolute power of each branch and (2) even though they are in the minority, Democrats still have a HUGE say. Our system is DESIGNED THIS WAY. We have to account for the opposition—you cannot ignore them.
With that in mind, I have every confidence that Trump and his team will navigate through a treacherous course and come out on the winning side.
I'm hoping this post makes the things you see in the months ahead more comprehensible.
Have a nice day.

The Daily Signal @DailySignal - From Hollywood’s willful blindness to the rise of socialism at home, communism and socialism share the same DNA—and freedom still needs defending.
