But the president is arguably more divorced than ever from the world outside his DC bubble — from average MAGA voters and the day to day concerns of people in the heartland and the like…This may be impacting his agenda and his approach in more ways than one.
He also can’t rally readily on behalf of GOP candidates in local and midterm elections. That also makes a difference.
Trump has had at least two attempts on his life and Charlie Kirk had one.
There will be a time for more rallies but they need to be indoors and secure.
If the MSM wants Trump to have rallies, there’s a reason.
And not a good one.
If he was hosting rallies, this same mockingbird droppings author would be complaining that he isn’t carrying out Presidential duties.
Really. What a ridiculous thing to focus on and expect.
Unfortunately without Trump out in the public, be is becoming more and more isolated and making more and more stupid decisions IMHO.
The influence of the DC Neocons seems to be growing in his recent actions.
“Trump isn’t holding rallies these days ...”
...and that’s a good thing!
I guess Democrats taking a hit on the govt. shutdown has really mobilized their media.
I guess the 2028 run isn’t on the books anymore. /sarc
He’s holding rallies but they have been overseas and world leaders have basically given him what he wants...
Trump not only understands business. He understands shiw business. Which, unfortunately, is what much of our politics has become. Always keep your audience wanting more.
its not necessary at this point
Mid-terms are a year away.
Its time to govern and play DC politics, 24/7
I think he’s been kind of busy lately…
Well, he IS a bit busy....for one thing.
Does the WaPo have a bucket of “orangemanbad” complaints in their offices and someone pulls out two random issues to complain about each day?
Yeah, if Trump keeps this up he might not get re-elected in 2028. Good grief, is this the sort of thing the WaPo is reduced to?
He doesn’t need to...it would just distract from the in-progress IMPLOSION of the democrat party
Trump is well aware of the day to day concerns of all Americans. He also understands that as we approach the mid-term elections the dems will bring ANTIFA out to riot all over the country, and do everything in their power to crash the stock market starting next summer. Punishing ‘the people’ and having the media blame Trump for it is their only way to win the next election. THe Shutdown is the perfect example of what I just said. The dems don’t care if people go bankrupt, can’t put food on the table, lose their homes, lose their jobs, that is their goal to beat Trump at the ballot box. Think back to 2008-2009 market crash- that was the dress rehearsal for what is coming in June/July 2026
It’s amazing how Trump has everyone on all sides screaming against immigration and H1B visas
A few years ago ‘oh it’s all good. We’ll be fine. We’re not hateful. We’re giving and wonderful!!’
Now it’s all screw Trump. We’re not going along with this invasion and usurpation of our jobs
Tricksy
Exactly. Why would he? He won the election, he was nearly assasinate twice by democrat party foot soldiers, and he has a job to do.
It’s the post.
Rallies would spark a story about his ego and recklessness and a hitler comparison.
No rallies gets this about fear and aloofness and disconnection.
Save this comments for the 2026 election season. They’ll pivot without a hint of humility for their doublespeak.
