In the closing weeks of the midterm elections, Donald Trump and his regime associates are making their last ditch efforts to avoid the Blue Tsunami that threatens to flush out the MAGA Republican majorities in Congress.<\/p>\n

\"Trump<\/p>\n

Trump himself is in the midst of a nationwide campaign tour to try to boost Republican turnout. Although his itinerary is almost exclusively red states that should already be expected to turnout for GOP candidates. That says something about how desperate their party is, and how despairing they are of their prospects. And given his record low approval ratings, no one is happier about Trump’s participation in the campaign than Democrats.<\/p>\n

The closing arguments for Republicans appear to be avoiding entirely the issues that the American people care about, such as the cost of living and the war in Iran. Instead, Trump and the GOP are focusing on transgender athletes, imaginary communist candidates, and Trump’s ballrooms, arches, and golf courses.<\/p>\n

The obliviousness of the MAGA crowd is off the charts. On Monday morning Trump’s chairman of his Economic Advisory Council, Kevin Hassett, was interviewed on CNBC to deliver his routine and preposterously rosy outlook. CNBC’s Joe Kernan noted the current polling that predicts Democrats will win majorities in both the House and the Senate. Then he asked Hassett if he thought the polls were correct. And like a good MAGA-tist Hassett parroted Dear Leader Trump’s doctrine that all the polls are fake, Elaborating, he said that…<\/p>\n

“If the economic polls that you’re talking about were correct, then people wouldn’t be taking trips to nice hotels. They wouldn’t be flying. They wouldn’t be buying cars. They wouldn’t be doing all the things they do when they’re feeling good about the economy.<\/p>\n

“True sentiment is measured by what you see people are doing. And what you see people are doing is they’re acting like we’re in a boom. And the reason they are doing that is because, despite what the polls say, we are in a boom.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hassett: "If economic polls were correct, then people wouldn't be taking trips to nice hotels, they wouldn't be flying, they wouldn't be buying cars, they wouldn't be doing all the things they do when they're feeling good about the economy… people are acting like we're in a boom. We are in a boom"<\/p>\n
