Republikaner: „Sie wollen eure Kinder verstümmeln“ – Trump setzt nun auf Angst
Immer mehr gemäßigte Republikaner wenden sich vom US-Präsidenten ab. Der versucht gar nicht erst, sie zurückzugewinnen – sondern setzt voll auf seine MAGA-Anhänger. Ein riskantes Manöver.
Donald Trump, during a rally in Kansas, claimed that radical Democrats are planning to burn church steeples, set fires, and conquer France, which he described as being "conquered, plundered and burned by jihadists and communists." The president was surrounded by supporters wearing red caps with "USA" written on them, shaking their heads in agreement.
Trump's campaign is entering a critical phase, with his approval ratings declining to a new low of 31%, according to a Reuters survey. Republican candidates are struggling in the polls, with Democrats leading by nine percentage points in the average. The president is attempting to galvanize his base using fear and radicalism, outlining scenarios that he claims would result if Democrats gain control of the House and Senate.
However, his strategy is not winning over moderates, and his MAGA base remains loyal. The Republican party's support for Trump has been questioned, with some senators criticizing his decisions, such as signing a deal with Russia and imposing sanctions on Ukraine. As the midterm elections approach, the Republican party faces growing dissent within its ranks, with some calling for investigations into Trump's policies.
