America's FAVORITE rapin' grampy is peeing in his pants over the Midterms: "Save our Supreme Court from 'Packing,'"

In a series of posts to his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump lamented that because he wasn't on the ballot, his party was unable to get a win. He also urged Senate Republicans to "TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER" and pass legislation making it harder for Americans to vote.

"Pass Voter Reform, Voter ID, No Mail-In Ballots. Save our Supreme Court from 'Packing,' No Two State addition, etc," Trump wrote in a subsequent post.

MAGA's reactions to 2025 election results suggested a dismal mood among Trump's supporters in response to the GOP's nationwide defeat. Turning Point USA executive Tyler Bowyer shared Trump's frustrations about him not being on the ballot, but also chastised Republican leadership for not doing the ground work to be more competitive.

"When Trump isn’t on the ballot and you don’t make investments in chasing votes, you get voters who stay home," Bowyer wrote.

Another vanity post. Everybody love me or die. Trump was on the ballot. The turnout was against him in every election. Go ahead carolying, do what you do best.

The ghost of the shambling Pedo, Felon was ABSOLUTELY haunting this ballot.
His presence in this vote could not have been more apparent had it been dipped in gold.

I think the election brought a few clueless people back to the genius side.

The first 11 months of Trump's second term:

1). SIGNIFICANTLY MORE "PLAYTIME"...more time spent on the golf course. Taxpayer-funded trips to the Super Bowl and Daytona. A $2 MILLION price tag for Trump's visit to Scotland to promote his golf course...

2). Trump's "Crypto Scam," although it's likely off the minds of most people in the general public

3). Destruction of the East Wing and Trump's Bigly Yuge Fugly Gold Ballroom for his billionaire donors...not exactly a "dinner table" issue for voters, and a majority of Americans were disgusted by it

4). The Mar-a-Lago "End of SNAP Eve" Great Gatsby "Piss On The Poor" bash...hard to believe, I know, but America DOES notice OVERT MESSAGES like this.

5). Americans PAYING MORE FOR EVERYTHING while Trump is thumping his flabby chest over "BRINGING PRICES DOWN"

6). Steven Miller and naked children in Chicago, zip-tied and thrown into a van

...and this is just a PARTIAL LIST, but I think it had a cumulative effect on voters who realize he is only going to get worse. Yesterday was ABSOLUTELY a "REFERENDUM ON TRUMP."

This is from memory, BUT...

"A POOR LEADER, after winning, says "LOOK AT WHAT I DID.""

"A GREAT leader, after winning, says NOTHING, and the people he led say "Look at what WE did."

The president doesn’t have just one problem when it comes to groceries; he has three related problems.

Trump’s overlapping problems with groceries:
- he keeps lying about consumer prices
- he thinks “groceries” is an exotic word he needs to explain the meaning of
- he's so out of touch that he thinks we need ID to buy food www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/matters-trump-thinks-americans-need-show-id-buy-groceries-rcna242145

This came up quite a bit during his first term. In 2018, for example, the Republican insisted that consumers had to show ID to purchase breakfast cereals (they do not). He later added that it was also necessary to present identification to buy bread (also wrong).

At a Tuesday-morning event at the White House, Trump went even further down the same path.

Trump: "It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do and that's terminate the filibuster ... we should start tonight with 'the country's open, congratulations,' then we should pass voted ID, we should pass no mail in voting ... you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID."

As part of a pitch on proposed election restrictions, the president told Senate Republicans, “All we want is voter ID. You go to a grocery store, you have to give ID. You go to a gas station, you give ID. But for voting, they want no voter ID.”

For now, let’s put aside the fact that in-person voter fraud is extraordinarily rare, making voter ID laws an unnecessary solution to an imaginary problem. Let’s instead consider the simple fact that the incumbent American president, 10 years into his political career and five years into his White House tenure, is so detached from the lives of everyday Americans that he has no idea that people buy groceries all the time without presenting identification.

Whether Trump appreciates this or not, he’s making it far easier for his critics to paint him as woefully out of touch.

You do not need voter id to buy bread and neither trump nor the federal government have the power to impose a voter id requirement for voting

I assume he means don't make DC and Puerto Rico states.

On the other hand, this is the idiot who spent the first four months of his new administration saying he was going to make Canada and Greenland states.
