In Kentucky campaign stop, Trump says he "can do stuff that is unbelievable"

President Trump spoke in the city of Highland Heights to boost Republican candidates, including Ed Gallrein for the U.S. House.

At a rally in Highland Heights, Kentucky, President Donald Trump confidently asserted on Saturday that he was capable of achieving things that were "unbelievable". The rally aimed to energize Republican voters ahead of the midterms, a time when the party is grappling with challenges. Trump highlighted his recent decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, attributing this as a more powerful move than anything he could have accomplished during his first term.

He also claimed that Google had previously refused to take his calls, but now they "kiss my ass." Trump even changed the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America. Despite voter frustration over his decision-making, such as the rise in prices due to tariffs and the Iran war, Trump continued to tout his perceived extraordinary influence.

The President has been nominated one of his personal lawyers to serve as attorney general, initiated military strikes on boats suspected of drug-smuggling, and attempted to add his name to the Kennedy Center. He also boasted about enriching himself and his family during his presidency. Trump made assertions about the end of the war in Iran and a decrease in gas prices, both of which have been repeatedly made during the conflict.

He reiterated a controversial promise that if Republicans won both chambers of Congress, every adult American would receive $5,000, which would likely cost more than $1 trillion and increase the country's budget deficit. Finally, Trump proposed a new conditional promise for Kentucky: if Republicans win, the Department of Defense would invest in revitalizing a drug manufacturing facility in the state.
