You're right.
But Trump is trying to help his party to defend their seats in Congress in 2026. Then he'll prepare his successor to be in a good position to keep the White House in 2028.
More than anything, it's really important that we win in 2026 and 2028. Then the Electoral College will be favorable after 2030 because the red states will be +10 by then.
When the democRATs do it, we sneer at it as a corrupt vote-buying scheme.
Let's at least be consistent and honest.
