Trump Knows: Midterms Won’t Matter (C)

From Axios, August 2, 2026

“President Trump doesn't much care if Republicans lose the House and/or the Senate in the midterms this fall.

• Yes, he'd prefer a big win, but he seems indifferent to the election and the possibility of endless Democratic investigations of his family, wealth and policies, his closest advisers tell us.

• A big reason: Trump knows he'll emerge just as strong, or even stronger, heading into his final two years, at least among Republicans.

Why it matters: Trump will enjoy a more pro-Trump Republican Congress, win or lose; gleefully play '28 kingmaker and further test the boundaries of presidential power beyond legislating, his preferred method anyway. He'll use pardons to protect his people, the advisers say.”

Most importantly: A constitutional clash over congressional oversight, among the last and most vital powers lawmakers hold dear. What happens if Trump orders his entire administration, family and friends to just ignore Congress?”

From The Peaceful Solution:

The Midterms Will Not Solve the Problem

Those in the Resistance must think beyond the midterms.

Most Americans are putting too much faith in what the midterms will do. The midterms may have a beneficial psychologic effect but in reality the outcome will have little or no practical effect, unless the Dems can get 2/3 majority in the house and senate, which they won’t. They will not be able to undo anything His Royal Heinous has done or pass new legislation, because of his veto power.

He will continue to rule by “National Emergency“ and Executive Orders .

The greatest danger in all this is that it will appear that something beneficial is happening. The majority of people will believe the system is working. After about a year they will realize that nothing is changing. Then they will think, Oh well, he’ll be gone after the election next year.

Or will he? It took the Hungarians 16 years to get rid of Orban, and the Project 2025 people will certainly not make the same mistakes that Orban did.

The longer he’s in power, the more difficult it will be to undo the tremendous damage he’s done.

Apparently, the Dem leadership believe that taunting His Royal Heinous will have some sort of beneficial effect. It won’t. It’s going to take direct action by We the People to dislodge HRH anytime soon.

Those of us in The Resistance must think beyond the midterms, about how to stop and reverse the fascist takeover of the country.

Please: Resist. Stop cooperating. Stop spending, except on essentials. Stop the fascist takeover.

Don’t call him President this defeats everything. Call him dumpy to keep it polite

I don’t call him president. I call him His Royal Heinous.

He must be taught that his power of the past 2 years was based on his minions devotion and nothing else. Now with a new Congress coming in January the committees looking at his scams will be led by Democrats detrmined to stop him. What happens then is what matters and the future of our democracy depends on them.

The main reasons's Trump does not have to worry is 1/ Hakeem Jeffries.....2/ Chuck Schumer. Both of these leaders of a compromised opposition will most likely roll over and do the bidding of AIPAC, corporate donars and.......bought and paid for elected officiials fighting progressive legislation.

I hope to be wrong......but if this Hegseth vote is any indication......the Blue wave will evapourate fast.

Scott Colom's twin brother wrote and directed the Scott Colom campaign ads. "Pick another protein" and "Sinators". Scott Colom and his twin were both in the Sinators ad. Priceless.
