Trump plans nationwide tour to defend his policies as voters revolt over cost of living

Source: Raw Story

December 4, 2025 8:11AM ET


President Donald Trump is planning a nationwide tour to defend his economic agenda to voters, amid rising discontent over the cost of living, reported Axios on Thursday.

This comes after a number of election scares for Republicans, including blistering losses around the country in November, and a special election this week that saw Democrats coming within single digits of flipping of Tennessee seat Trump won by 22 points.

"Trump's approval rating has sunk as he has pursued peace deals around the globe and 'narco-terrorists' in the Caribbean, while Americans have become more pessimistic about affording a better life," said the report. "With Republicans in danger of losing control of the House next November, Trump needs to be a lift — not a drag — in tough districts if the GOP is to defy powerful historic trends and keep its majority."

The president will kick off this campaign with a stop in northeast Pennsylvania next Tuesday. "White House aides see Trump as the Republican Party's best salesman — and its best chance to reverse falling poll numbers for both the president and his party," said the report. "Trump is expected to use Tuesday's event to highlight what he's done to help the economy during his second term in office. But aides privately acknowledge that there's more to be done to address cost-of-living concerns — and say that on his trip, Trump also will preview upcoming plans."

He can't form a sentence, he doesn't make sense and he is falling asleep constantly. This "tour" will finish him off. If he makes it through two rallies I'd be amazed.

He'll end up talking about his beautiful ballroom and people will get even more pissed off.

I grew up in the snow belt of Northeast Ohio in a small rural town right on Lake Erie, so I come from hardy stock.

There were seven of us children in a tiny "house" about 700 square feet. My mother was German and used to make us go outside to play (probably to save her sanity) saying, "a little cold never killed anyone" and "fresh air is good for you".

Even the MAGAs are tired of him. Trump is old news now. How could ANYONE go to his “rallies”? He’s not a candidate for office. He doesn’t give a shit about the Republican Party, really. All he cares about is how it will affect HIM. He won’t say, “Vote for this or that candidate.” It will be all about HIM.

Trump’s supporters have already shown that they will not show up to vote in large numbers when he isn’t on the ballot. May it continue!

The outcome of this barnstorming tour will be:

-- He collapses early in the tour, survives, goes back to DC, Congress invokes the 25th Amendment or,
-- He ends the tour after stops 2 or 3, returns to DC, spends the rest of his term as a blubbering idiot, aides propping him up, or,
-- Someone at one of his stops does not miss.

Every venue will be controlled and packed with paid shills for Trump and audience members will be vetted for their loyalty. His team will probably have to offer more money to motivate them to cheer for his nonsense. And special attention must be paid to place those phony "Blacks For Trump" folks behind the podium. He has recently revealed himself to be an open racist by the way in which he insulted people from Somalia. How can any POC's support him when they know how he really feels about them? One can understand the $hallow motivation of the few POC's still holding office in his administration. They must be willing to swallow their pride and convince themselves that a paycheck is worth their sell-out to serve this shameful regime.

What does the orange racist Grump-pa really have to offer these days for a "message"?

What will be any different than what he says from the Oval every day?

This sounds like a much better opportunity for massive "No Kings" protests than to rally the already-faithful.

Unless--of course--participation becomes mandatory; corporate sponsors are required to set up booths and give away free swag; cities and states are threatened with economic punishment if they do not turn out "crowds like nobody ever thought was possible."

Would we put this past Spray Tan Satan?

In January 2026, millions of American's health insurance rates will rise to unaffordable amounts. Wait till the shock of how much the rates will be comingled with Taco Trump's crazy affordable tour he's talking about going on that will showcase how bad his dementia is, and you have a huge GOP caused mess.
I'm a retired federal employee, who has the same type of health care insurance that Congress has. The ACA insurance care was modeled by the care federal employees and Congress receive, like not being able to deny care due to any preexisting condition. That the GOP would take away that care, while they continue to get excellent health care for a low cost, is totally disgusting. As a federal employee I never had to worry about my family's health care or costs. I want the same thing for all Americans, unlike the GOP, who could care less. This information along with all the damage done by the GOP and Trump, is a topic every Democrat candidate must talk about while campaigning. Will health insurance being made unaffordable by the GOP, local hospitals will shoulder the burden in their emergency rooms, and many small local hospitals will close due to going broke.

No doubt required propaganda for hundreds of local TV newscasts on outlets owned by Sinclair & Nextstar - with fawning excerpts and narration from the home office or at most VNR with required copy to be read by local "anchors".

At the first stop on his barnstorming tour, he'll spend three hours airing his grievances - something Trump does frequently. After the press starts calling Trump "Frank Costanza" and describing the tour as "a Festivus for none of us," it will end as quickly as it began.

Is maybe what the toadies around him want?

Yeah boss, get out there and distract, and while you’re at it, how about a stroke on the grandstand?

Make a martyr out of Chumpkin’s stupid ass and put Vance in the presidency.

Kill one of their own, isn’t that what the Mafia does?

He is no longer capable of staying on his feet for more than a few minutes.

Which is just as well - because in the shape he's in, he'll probably end up like Warren Harding (who tried a similar stunt after he approval plummeted amid a flood of scandal).

And like Harding was, he'll probably be poisoned by his own GOPee - anxious as they are to get rid of a president they now see as a yooge liability (and just plain asshole).

An like with Harding in 1923 (whom they obviously poisoned, as he had become political dead weight), the GOPee's idea is to use Cheeto's demise as a rallying cry for a victory in the next elections.

But Shady Vance is no Coolidge - and today's economy isn't 1924's (to say the least).

Because this pointless little tour might just be what does the Orange Pig in.

(not that I wish it on him - because it'll only leave us with Shady Dunce as president)

I wonder what food item he'll tackle next. Pomegranates, maybe. Who doesn't miss having pomegranates with every meal?
