Summary
Donald's approval is collapsing, and the midterms are six months away. History says the party in power loses seats. So the Trump regime is not trying to win more voters. It is trying to redraw the country around the voters it already has. What is unfolding right now is one of the most aggressive assaults on voting representation in modern American history, enabled by a Supreme Court built for exactly this moment.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Mary Trump podcast. |
| 0:07.8 | Let's dive it. |
| 0:10.0 | Donald's poll numbers are collapsing. |
| 0:12.4 | They are at the lowest of his second term in the low 30s. |
| 0:19.2 | And the Republican Party knows exactly what that means. If this continues, |
| 0:24.4 | they're going to lose very badly in the November midterms. They will almost certainly lose the |
| 0:30.6 | House of Representatives, and now even the Senate is in play, which is something nobody would |
| 0:35.9 | have thought even six months ago. But there's |
| 0:39.3 | every reason to think that Donald's poll numbers will continue to tank because the economy |
| 0:45.7 | is a disaster driven largely by two things he's entirely responsible for, tariffs and his |
| 0:54.0 | illegal unconstitutional war of choice in Iran. |
| 0:57.0 | The midterms are only six months away and historically like even in the best of times the |
| 1:03.0 | party in power almost always loses simply because American voters are fickle. But now they have real gripes, which puts the entire Republican Party at an even greater disadvantage than they would normally be. |
| 1:20.1 | And again, that is driven by Donald's unpopularity as a president, as a person, and as somebody who has clearly demonstrated, he does not have |
| 1:28.9 | the American people's best interests at heart. Here's the other thing. Donald, obviously, is not |
| 1:36.5 | running for any office. Sadly, his term doesn't end until 2028, but he is still on the ballot. He returned to office last year with an approval |
| 1:48.5 | of 50%, which should shock us to our core. But over a year later, as I said, those numbers have |
| 1:57.8 | dropped precipitously, as low in some polls is 33%. |
| 2:02.6 | Even Republican strategists are openly warning about a brutal midterm environment. |
| 2:08.5 | And when you look at the numbers, you're going to understand why. |
| 2:12.1 | Take a look here. This is the difference. Trump's approval rating at this point of terms, |
