The numbers in the House and Senate are close, very close, and Trump knows it, so he is bending to help the GOP’s chances of maintaining control. For those of you who don’t know, Trump is a hard man to work for, and he plays the games that need to be played to win.
Trump has a knack for knowing the potential of GOP members and is not afraid to push aside those whom he feels are not electable, even strong MAGA supporters. Knowing the midterms are coming, he is adjusting as necessary to maintain the GOP’s hold on power. No matter what Trump is doing it is all about our country and Democracy around the world. He has already done more to bring Iran to its knees than any president because he is working for the U.S., not re-election. He is rich; he doesn’t have to be doing this, but it is what he wants to do for us. There are always some good and bad from any president, but Trump has a lot more good than most, if not all, the presidents before him. All IMO.
“At a time when the GOP majority in Congress can be counted with one hand, and every Republican vote counts, it’s likely a sign that Trump is trying to cut down potential losses in November’s midterms.
“Every true MAGA supporter and Republican, if they truly care about saving our Country, will do everything in their power to unify together, and defeat the Crazed Radical Left Democrats this November,” Trump wrote in the post.
In Trump’s case, that means backing away from a position announced less than a month ago, when he supported Hurd’s challenger in a blistering, Feb. 21 Truth Social post that blasted Hurd as a “RINO” — or Republican in Name Only — and accused Hurd of being “more interested in protecting Foreign Countries that have been ripping us off for decades than he is the United States of America.”
The post specifically criticized Hurd for failing to support Trump’s tariff policies on foreign goods entering the country.
In the same post, Trump endorsed Hope Scheppelman, a Navy veteran and critical care nurse practitioner challenging Hurd for the GOP nomination in the district.
That endorsement is no longer operative.
Trump wrote that he had met with Scheppelman and her husband “to discuss various opportunities to serve our Country in a different capacity than her current run for the United States Congress.”
