President Donald Trump is planning a nationwide tour to defend his economic agenda to voters, amid rising discontent over the cost of living, reported Axios on Thursday.

This comes after a number of election scares for Republicans, including blistering losses around the country in November, and a special election this week that saw Democrats coming within single digits of flipping of Tennessee seat Trump won by 22 points.

"Trump's approval rating has sunk as he has pursued peace deals around the globe and 'narco-terrorists' in the Caribbean, while Americans have become more pessimistic about affording a better life," said the report. "With Republicans in danger of losing control of the House next November, Trump needs to be a lift — not a drag — in tough districts if the GOP is to defy powerful historic trends and keep its majority."

The president will kick off this campaign with a stop in northeast Pennsylvania next Tuesday. "White House aides see Trump as the Republican Party's best salesman — and its best chance to reverse falling poll numbers for both the president and his party," said the report. "Trump is expected to use Tuesday's event to highlight what he's done to help the economy during his second term in office. But aides privately acknowledge that there's more to be done to address cost-of-living concerns — and say that on his trip, Trump also will preview upcoming plans."

1. Hopefully this "tour" will get him in the ground sooner.

That's what happened to another rePUKE President: Harding. He also was touring to get out of Washington so he couldn't answer about all of the rePUKE scandals going on at the time. One can hope.

7. Can I, well, dig the hole?

[NCDem47]

2. Comedy gold!

I know the nation’s future is no laughing matter, but this is going to be a DISASTER that will amplify everything wrong with that sick man and his followers.he won’t be able to talk intelligently about anything! They’ll need to bring the stage hook with ‘em.

[louis-t]

3. He'll snooze his way through the whole thing.

Eyes will be half closed, low-energy babbling, toilet paper stuck to his shoe. What upcoming plans? "We gonna keel more brown people!"?

[CousinIT]

4. Good luck with that, SHitler. n/t

[Escape]

5. Nationwide Tour? Then, we need to organize...

[twodogsbarking]

6. Safe travels.

[RockCreek]

8. How much will this tour cost taxpayers in $???

[Chasstev365]

9. Oh boy; small crowds will get to see his dementia up close!

But it's OK because the corporate media will cover for him.

[MissouriDem47]

10. A Series of Trump Rallies

Now that will solve the problems won't it?

[Joinfortmill]

11. Hahaha. Good luck with that.

[usonian]

12. A real SLEEPER!

And the reason that people can't throw tomatoes is because
THEY CAN'T AFFORD THEM.

[truthisfreedom]

13. Great time for protests!

[Blasphemer]

14. My popcorn is ready. He won't last one hour. nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. Please proceed

"What would you rather have, lower prices or a look at my smiley face?" Donny Dementia.

[BigmanPigman]

16. Good...that will not end well for him.

He can't form a sentence, he doesn't make sense and he is falling asleep constantly. This "tour" will finish him off. If he makes it through two rallies I'd be amazed.

He'll end up talking about his beautiful ballroom and people will get even more pissed off.

[NCDem47]

18. Nailed it.

The GOP has a certifiable defunct product that is continues to foist on America.

[MayReasonRule]

17. Heard He Loves To Gold Plate Shit So I Got Him This Award!!!

[duckworth969]

19. Probably be another staged assassination attempt

Anything to distract from Bondi dragging her feet on the Epstein Files 😑

[Xipe Totec]

20. Looking forward to the tar the farce. nt

[edhopper]

21. oh boy!

[llmart]

22. His handlers are going to need more Adderall.

I doubt he'll go anywhere near a blue city or blue state even. It will be like his rallies out in bumfuckistan in a muddy field where they hold monster truck rallies.

[PatSeg]

24. Yeah, can't see him getting through such a tour

without a LOT of help. Plus I'm sure he will be disappointed when he realizes that those huge crowds from the past are gone for good.

[llmart]

35. He can stay away from Michigan.

Besides, his pansy ass couldn't take the 9 degrees we have right now. Such a snowflake!

[Amaryllis]

23. Can we turn them into No Kings protests?

[hatrack]

25. Yeah, more Sleepy Joe Crooked Hillary Sharks Batteries Windmills Brain Cancer So Unfair Liberal Hoax Fake News

All to the tune of "YMCA" - that'll surely be enough to convince 'Murca that everything's just hunky-dory.

Can't wait.

[llmart]

36. Plus his infamous accordion hands.

[Raven123]

26. During the holiday season? How odd.

[twodogsbarking]

27. He will be pasing the collection plate like never before.

[Srkdqltr]

28. Its winter. He'll freeze his ... .... He'll probably start in 2 weeks.

[moose65]

29. Ugh....

Even the MAGAs are tired of him. Trump is old news now. How could ANYONE go to his “rallies”? He’s not a candidate for office. He doesn’t give a shit about the Republican Party, really. All he cares about is how it will affect HIM. He won’t say, “Vote for this or that candidate.” It will be all about HIM.

Trump’s supporters have already shown that they will not show up to vote in large numbers when he isn’t on the ballot. May it continue!

[greymattermom]

30. Can he stand up?

Can he do a rally while seated?

[BradBo]

31. He's getting to old to do a tour like this. Better have the medical team at the ready.

[Figarosmom]

32. I don't think this will fare well for him.

Physically he isn't going to be able to take it. Broke people at Xmas time are desperate which makes it dangerous for him as well.

[AverageOldGuy]

33. This will not end well for Trump

The outcome of this barnstorming tour will be:

-- He collapses and dies at the 3d or 4th stop, or,
-- He collapses early in the tour, survives, goes back to DC, Congress invokes the 25th Amendment or,
-- He ends the tour after stops 2 or 3, returns to DC, spends the rest of his term as a blubbering idiot, aides propping him up, or,
-- Someone at one of his stops does not miss.

[Deminpenn]

34. Please proceed

It's been shown that the more Americans see of Trump, the less they like him.

I wonder if McKenzie, the R who beat incumbent D Matt Cartwright in PA-10, will show up. Or if Stacey Garrity, the incumbent R state treasurer, who's running for gov will.

[struggle4progress]

37. Come on, baby! Let's do the sleepwalker!

Come on, baby! Let's do the sleepwalker!

[Aussie105]

38. Why go on tour and lie?

Why go on tour to tell people what they see in real life happening, is just in their imagination?

So much more comfortable for him to do that in front of a camera in the White House or Mar-a-lago.

Trump script writers, be imaginative! You will need to be!

[Martin68]

39. Looking forward to more gaffes, stumbles, confusion, and dementia symptoms.

Trump is his own worst enemy now. He's a poster boy for why MAGA is a compete and utter failure.
