As the midterm elections in November draw nearer, the desperation of Donald Trump and the Republican Party is spreading faster than an outbreak of measles at RFK Jr’s kiddie pool party. Every recent poll shows that Democrats are likely to come away with a majority in the House of Representatives, and have a good chance of doing the same in the Senate.<\/p>\n

Ordinarily a party that is running as far behind as the GOP would reconsider their campaign strategy in order to appeal to a broader base of the electorate. But in this case the MAGA Republicans are so beholden to Trump and his unique brand of derangement that they are falling in line with his plan to alienate as many voters as possible by ignoring their needs and focusing on endless wars, vanity projects, and enriching himself. And Trump seems to think that his plan is working.<\/p>\n

However, in a peculiar departure from his routine, Trump appears to have adopted some of the platform of the Democratic Party, and more specifically, the policies of progressive Democratic Socialists. In response to a question about the record profits recently reported by Exxon and Chevron, Trump replied that…<\/p>\n

“They’re making too much money, based on a shortage, They’re making too much money. I don’t like it. And I should be the last one to say it because I’m a big free enterprise guy, nobody bigger. And you’re gonna see oil, when we’re finished with Iran, you’re gonna see the prices drop through the floor.<\/p>\n

“But they made too much money. Chevron, too much money. ExxonMobil, too much. When you look at one company, where they made 12 times what they made the year before, they ought to give some of that back to the public. And they better cut the retail price, the consumer price.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
