At The Worst Possible Time🤦

📉Inflation is down — GREAT news.

🙌Trump finally appears to understand the Iranians don’t want a “deal” — GREAT news

‼️Yet, the isolationist wing of the Republican Party is stronger than ever

• Lindsay Graham’s death eliminated the loudest, most articulate voice for American nobility

  • Marco Rubio is equally good, but he can’t publicly push Trump

📱It’s no surprise Vice President JD Vance is going to record Joe Rogan’s podcast today.

• 💬Our buddy Steve Cortes well represents the economic argument

Great Inflation news for June. The war went on pause and Crude Oil crashed. So…not complicated, end the war!

Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47

NEC Director Kevin Hassett on the June CPI data: "It's absolutely the best inflation report we've seen in about 6 years... If you look at the core, it's all the way down, year-over-year, to 2.6%, which is just about where the Fed expects it to be."

‼️Trump appears clearly split — knowing we need to continue and even escalate the war with Iran while feeling he can not afford to politically

• Look back🔙: We told you every day closer to the midterms, things would get worse.

“Saving” America?⁉️

🗣️Donald Trump will use his speech on Thursday night to make his case for why the SAVE America Act is needed by presenting new evidence of 2020 election fraud.

• Trump: “It’s really big news… And our country has to shape up… Without free and fair elections you don’t have a country. We’ll be discussing other things too.”

• Game plan📃: The president is looking for a way to set it up so that if Democrats win the midterms, he can blame Republicans rather than himself

  • He’ll argue that since GOP members didn’t pass the SAVE America Act, it’s their fault

  • What I’m thinking💭: There are all sorts of issues with the proof he’s going to put up, but we’ll see what he has to say on Thursday

🗣️Democratic Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin says the act would:

• “Allow this administration to rig our democracy so that it would be hard for any democrat, in any state to win any election.”

• Coin-flip🪙: In other words, Democrats have rigged the rules — like in California to give them a major advantage.

📃The SAVE America Act is a GOP-backed election reform bill where:

• All voters must show ID

• All voters must show proof of citizenship in order to vote

• No mail-in ballots (except for illness, disability, military, or travel)

  • 🤷These seem painfully obvious to me — you (are supposed) to prove citizenship to get a job

Tonight📺: Erick Erickson on whether Trump is pending his political capital wisely.
