the White House is looking to send surrogates like Vance and Bessent on the road instead of Trump …
to carry the message of affordability to the American people, leaving Trump to “motivate his die-hard IDIOTS who might not otherwise vote when he isn’t on the ballot.”
BET HE’S TOO ILL TO RALLY

the Republicans did not extend in their One Big Beautiful Bill Act—would be about $350 billion over ten years. The cost for extending the 2017 tax cuts, which overwhelmingly benefit the wealthy and corporations and which they did extend, will be more than $4 trillion over the same time period.

Representative Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) has launched a discharge petition to force Johnson to bring a bill to extend the credits to a vote. The measure would only pass with Democratic votes, making Republican leaders scramble to create their own plan. Â Republican alternative has remained elusive.

if people are feeling the pinch of higher prices, they “can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. That’s under the China policy, you know, every child can get 37 pencils. You don’t need 37 dolls for your daughter. Two or three is nice. But you don’t need 37 dolls.

Trump’s overall numbers are not much better. Just 36% of American adults approve of his job performance, with 61% disapproving. Among Independents, just 20% approve, while 74% disapprove. With them, he is underwater by an astonishing 54 points.

Americans are not impressed with Trump’s handling of the economy. only 31% of American adults approve of Trump’s management of the economy, with 67% disapproving. Among Independents, that number breaks down to 15% approving and 80% disapproving.

if the 2026 electorate ended up looking like the voters who say affordability is their top concern, we’d be looking at a huge blue wave, with a swing 50% larger than in 2018.

a president who says “affordability” is a partisan gimmick, a political system allowing costs for most goods to rise outside their comfort level, and health costs to spike even further.
If the midterms are an affordability election, Trump and the Republicans will likely do very poorly.

Trump earned his lowest approval rating on the economy ever in any AP-NORC survey. This new poll comes after others have shown a nearly all-time low in the University of Michigan’s Index of Consumer Sentiment, the president falling with independents, and even losing inflation-conscious Republicans.

It seems to me that many of the people who say that Trump is keeping his promises on the economy must be thinking mainly about their
“Own taxes”, which have been cut in various ways. The already rich. . (The rest of those expressing that view I would think are mostly hyper-partisan.)

Trump has leaned into this idea of unitary executive since 2019, when he told attendees at the Turning Point USA Teen Student Action Summit being held in Washington, D.C.: “I have an Article II, where I have…the right to do whatever I want as president.”

This is an attempt to establish the idea of a “unitary executive,” a theory the right wing has pushed since the 1980s. it began to distrust the will of voters as they expressed it through Congress, and thus tried to find ways to assert the power of the president and reduce the power of Congress.

The theory of the unitary executive says that since the president is the head of one of the three independent branches of government, the legislative, the executive, and judicial branch, he has sole authority over the executive branch and cannot be reined in by the other two branches
