midway through trump's second term, the 2026 us midterms gave him a serious reality check.
democrats took both the house of representatives and the senate, texas included (trump's stronghold). trump congratulated the democrats, blamed his own candidates, and posted on truth social that "i wasn't on the ballot." good lord, the man takes credit for every win and pins every loss on his candidates (man, this sounds familiar from somewhere).
since taking office, he has dragged america into multiple wars and spent tax revenue that should have gone to american citizens on war and on supporting the jews. as a result, fuel and energy prices went up, and his messy decisions pushed the country into an economic crisis. unemployment was already rising because of ai, and his own bad moves made the economy even worse. and it wasn't just the us: what he did affected many other countries too. yes, i think he's learned a good lesson from these elections.
