Donald Trump is at 32 percent approval, the lowest of his political career, with four weeks until midterms. And what did he spend his last political capital on? A taxpayer-funded ballroom renovation and a 1.8 billion dollar “anti-weaponization” slush fund so brazen that his own party gagged on it. The man who promised to drain the swamp just remodeled it.
Now the Republican senators who rubber-stamped two years of this are discovering their spines. Roger Marshall is sweating a re-election race in Kansas, a state so red it practically bleeds. Vulnerable House Republicans are “distancing themselves” from Trump, which is code for pretending you never met the guy at the party you threw. They voted for every cut, confirmed every loyalist, looked away from every norm he torched. The number is 32. They helped build it.
