Republicans Panic as Trump Shows 'Zero' Interest in Helping With Midterms
According to a Politico Playbook report, Donald Trump has disengaged from Capitol Hill at a critical moment, with a close aide rating his current engagement at 'zero.' Republicans are heading into the August recess and midterm elections without presidential support to pass key legislation. GOP Conference Chair Lisa McClain revealed the party's strategy is to frame Democrats as 'crazy' and pro-communism, but admitted the White House has not endorsed this message. The article details Trump's second-term failures, including economic stagnation, inflamed alliances, and an unpopular Middle East war, while he fixates on the SAVE America Act and a White House ballroom renovation. A secondary story reports House Democrats investigating whether Jeffrey Epstein acted as an unregistered foreign agent for multiple countries, leveraging his ties to Trump.
