"It's a perfect statement. I'll make it again. Everybody agrees." trump said today

about his infamous comment that he does not think about American's financial situation "even a little bit."

That's right, donnie. Double down on that. Sounds like the "perfect" strategy.

To all the media speculating about a "reset" before the midterms with either he or the R's pivoting to the economy, it will never happen.

I am guessing the man was in his 30's. I only heard a portion of the conversation, but he stated how he couldn't believe that Trump said he did not care about the American people and their financial situation. I would suspect that he had been a Trump supporter, but I don't think he supports him anymore. We should make a commercial with Trump making those comments and play it over and over. It gives me a bit of hope that people are finally seeing reality.

double down on it unless you have a plan to steal the midterms.

Everyone should ask themselves this: Are top Republicans acting like they don't care about the midterms?

Some sort.of fix is in. You can bet on that.
