Trump's torment: From draining the swamp to drowning in mid-terms?
Not analysed for framing
TOI Correspondent From Washington: Americans are streaming into polling stations across the country on Tuesday in one of the most consequential midterm elections in modern U.S history, with Donald Trump facing the prospect of losing control of Congress and spending the final two years of a lame duck presidency negotiating with an opposition that has plenty of scores to settle. The MAGA boss used his closing campaign appearance rhapsodizing about the renovation of the Lincoln Reflecting Pool, a fittingly ironic finale to a campaign built around his promise to drain the swamp. By Tuesday night…
Trump's closing appearance was billed as a final midterm appeal to voters agitated by war and cost of living issues, but the 53-minute event often resembled a municipal contractor's presentation to a homeowners' association. Rather than delivering a reassuring economic and political argument, he walked his audience through the pool's renovation, complete with photographs, elaborate explanations of the plumbing issues, and some outright falsehoods, leaving political pundits slack-jawed at the tone-deaf approach to the elections where Republicans are on the backfoot.
