Before you cast your midterm ballot, look at this graph and think about what Republicans are letting Trump get away with.

Peter Thiel & billionaire racist Xtian AI Apocalypse for president

US Vice President JD Vance has yet to declare his White House intentions for 2028, but his midterms campaign rally in his native Ohio looked a lot more like a Vance rally.

There's just one problem: the midterms themselves.

Excellent news for Republicans in the crucial swing state of Donald Trump's imagination:

Screenshot of a Truth Social post by Donald Trump https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/117418148236895862 dated 10 October 2026, reading as follows.

***

The Dumocrats, along with their partners in crime, the Fake News Media, are trying to create the false narrative that, Donald Trump is so “unpopular,” the Republicans are going to lose. Actually, it's just the opposite. I'm so “popular,” that the Republicans are going to WIN, and that's being proven by the Record Setting Rallies we're doing (including the one in Tennessee where I'll be in a short while — See you soon!). President DONALD J. TRUMP
