Republican Lawmakers Panic As Trump Ignores Major Economic Problems

Подробнее о видео

Republican lawmakers are starting to panic about their prospects in the 2026 midterms because Donald Trump continues to ignore the economic concerns of voters while managing to drive prices for them even higher. Trump has done a single thing, including signing any executive orders, to help ease costs for American consumers. In fact, he’s done the opposite by imposing policies that are only going to drive prices even higher. Republicans know that this is going to cost them dearly, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

So we're now a little over a month and a half into Donald Trump's second term in office. He has signed hundreds of executive orders. He has sent out hundreds of posts on truth social. He has done interviews, he has given speeches, he has held fundraisers. And not once has he actually addressed via executive order action through Congress, anything the major concern of American voters, the major concern that actually catapulted him back into the White House. And that of course is the rising cost of goods for consumers. Not only has Trump done nothing to try to ease the costs, but the actions that he has done, the mass deportations, the mass firings, the tariffs, all of that is actually putting more financial strain on American families and driving up the cost of goods. So the issue that won him the election is now the issue that he could not care less about.

There's one group of people though, that are terrified over the fact that this man is completely ignoring this. And that group of people happens to be Republican advisors and Republican lawmakers who are now concerned about the fact that they're going to get their butts kicked in November, 2026 midterms. Let me read you some quotes from these Republicans. The first of course is Stephen Moore, formerly of the Club for Growth, a veteran outside advisor to Trump on economic issues. He says about Trump ignoring economic issues. He says, I'm nervous about it. The Trump administration needs to keep its eye on what's happening with prices. It should be a top priority. The trend is a little bit troubling. And of course, inflation rose 3.3% in the month of February. Consumer confidence fell to its lowest point in four years.

Bad things are happening with prices, bad things are happening with voters' opinions of Donald Trump. And remarkably, Democrats are now leading even though we're a hell of a long way away, and it's too early to be talking about it, but I'm gonna mention it. 18 of the biggest, most important swing districts in the country. A month ago, they were overwhelmingly leaning Republican for the 2026 midterm. All of them, all 18, and now all 18 by at least a margin of five percentage points, lean Democrat. And it is 100% because Republicans are overseeing a massively rapid increase in consumer prices. Trump promised in his campaign, he is bringing prices down day one. And then of course right after the election, he admitted in that time person of the year interview that, Hey,

I don't know that we can, maybe we can't. Maybe we can. His own pollster, Tony Fabrizio is the one who did the poll that shows that those formerly Republican districts are now all leaning to the left. So that's a problem. It's not like it was some liberal pollster. It's the guy that Donald Trump had on his own campaign doing polls. There's more, uh, Trump has argued to donors that inflation will go down as soon as oil companies drill more inflation was 100% caused by energy. Trump told donors last year, according to audio of his remarks viewed by the Wall Street Journal.

So it's all energy related, right? Like, I mean the, the reason you guys are paying more for eggs, you know, up to $18 a dozen, uh, it's not because this administration fired all the people that are supposed to be monitoring bird flu. No, no, no, it's 'cause of gas. It's because trucks are paying more for gas to drive the eggs to the store.
