THANKS DON: If Trump Gets His Way, Democrats Will Win a Big Majority in the Senate This Year

The upcoming midterm elections in November are going to present some compelling opportunities for Democrats. In 2025 they enjoyed some strong victories across the nation in races that were predicted to be close. And in many other races where they fell short, they narrowed the margin significantly.

Donald Trump, Republican, GOP

Now most polls are showing that the Democratic Party is favored to win a majority in the House of Representatives. That advantage is the result of a combination of factors. First, Democrats have been taking the lead on the issues that matter most to the American people. And secondly, Republicans are saddled with Donald Trump, a mentally impaired megalomaniac who is only interested in himself.

While Democrats are working hard to lower the cost of housing, healthcare, groceries, and other expenses that folks encounter on a daily basis, Trump and his MAGA comrades are are squarely focused on building ballrooms, invading other countries (Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, Mexico, etc.), imposing inflationary tariffs, suppressing the Epstein files, and cutting government programs that help middle and lower income citizens, in order to enrich Trump and his wealthy benefactors.

That’s a political recipe for GOP disaster. But despite how bad that is as a strategy, Trump is going all in on it. On Tuesday morning Trump was asked about his vindictive and meritless persecution of Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell. His response reveals just how devoted he is to – – – electing more Democrats?

Question: Sen. Thom Tillis says that the grand jury subpoena to the Federal Reserve chairman [Jerome Powell] was a little excessive. What do you think?
Trump: Well, that is why Thom is not going to be a Senator any longer, I guess. Right?. But I like Thom Tillis. He’s a nice guy. But he’s not gonna be a senator any longer because of views like that.

Q: “Sen. Thom Tillis says that the grand jury subpoena to the Federal Reserve chairman was a little excessive. What do you think?”Trump: “That is why Thom is not going to be a Senator any longer.”

Trump’s reaction to news that a Republicans senator considers the probe by Trump’s “Justice” Department to be only “a little excessive,” is to celebrate the end of that senator’s political career. Which Democrats will surely appreciate. Tillis represents the purple state of North Carolina that currently has a popular Democratic governor, Josh Stein. Tillis isn’t running for reelection this year, but former Democratic governor Roy Cooper is running for that seat, and holds a substantial lead over his likely GOP opponent.

Trump went on to demonstrate his ignorance of economics by stating that…

“We have a bad Fed chairman. He’s bad in a lot of different ways. But he’s bad because his interest rates are too high. And today we had a great inflation report. And today we had a really great growth report. So we have great growth and low inflation. And we’re doing very well.”

First of all, the Fed chair is just one vote on the Board, so he alone does not determine the interest rates. And true to form, Trump is lying about how great recent economic reports are. However, more to the point, Trump’s analysis that a strong economy warrants lowering of interests is the exact opposite of proper fiscal policy. Interest rates are generally only lowered to juice an economy that is troubled. Doing so with a strong economy is more likely to trigger inflation.

As for Trump’s political analysis, his embrace of losing this incumbent Republican senator is just the start of his strategic foolishness. He also came out against five other GOP senators who had the audacity to vote against his aspirations for unilateral tyranny over American war powers. He commented on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, that…

“Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again.”

Trump’s opinion that these Republicans “should never be elected to office again” will be welcomed by Democrats, who only need to net four seats in order to become the majority. Flipping these five seats, along with Tillis, would do that with a two seat cushion. So once again, the more that Trump talks, the better things get for Democrats.

More Republicans are starting to defy Trump. Several recently did so to pass bills to extend the Obamacare subsidies, and to reign in his military aggressions. We are reaching a tipping point where the GOP are becoming more afraid of voters than they are of Trump. And the result of that will be that he lashes out more at members of his own party out of pure spite. And Democrats will be the beneficiaries.
