Tr*mp just suffered the worst night of his presidency & the humiliation is only getting started

On TACO Tuesday, D*nald Tr*mp got served a heaping plate of political comeuppance.

Hopefully he was hungry!

As the U.S. and Iran announced a fragile cease-fire that doesn’t accomplish any of the administration’s supposed objectives, Republicans were once again thrashed in local elections from suburban Wisconsin to Anchorage, Alaska. Though the GOP did retain a House seat in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s deep red Georgia district, the electorate swung towards the Democratic candidate by 25 points. It was the Dems’ biggest over-performance in a special House election in 18 years.

With a narrow majority in Congress and Tr*mp’s approval ratings under water, Republicans are bracing themselves for a midterm shellacking. Already, Democrats have flipped more than two dozen seats in Republican or battleground states, while the GOP hasn’t captured any Democrat-held seats.

How about we take this to the next level?

In a delicious example of symbolism, Dems have even flipped the Florida district that includes Mar-a-Lago, where Tr*mp and his cabinet plotted the five-week war that sent the world to the nuclear brink.

Here are all the ways that Tr*mp is licking his wounds…

Iran

The world never needed a TACO Tuesday more. Hours after threatening the Iranian people with extinction, Tr*mp reversed course and accepted a cease-fire. While both sides are claiming victory, it’s apparent that Iran holds the cards.

Despite absorbing 13,000 targeted strikes from U.S. and Israeli forces, Iran managed to choke off the global oil supply and pelted America’s Persian Gulf allies with missiles and drones. They hit oil refineries, economic hubs and American military bases, shattering the perceived insulation of glistening desert metropolises such as Dubai and Doha from the region’s instability.

Emboldened, Iranian officials released a 10-point peace plan that involves the lifting of all sanctions, U.S. withdrawal from the Middle East and continued control over the Strait of Hormuz, where 20% of the world’s oil supply passes through. Still intact, the hardline Iranian regime hasn’t mentioned anything about surrendering its nuclear stockpile, the alleged driving force behind America and Israel’s bombing campaign.

Desperate to save face, the White House says they received a different proposal from Iran, but there’s no denying the uncertainty on the ground. As of Wednesday morning, ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz remains “throttled,” per the New York Times.

Of course, we would be remiss if we didn’t mention the biggest tragedy of this senseless war: the mass loss of human life, including a reported 3,500 in Iran, 1,400 in Lebanon and 19 in Israel and 13 American service members.

Wisconsin

Last spring, a usually obscure election for a Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin attracted $100 million in spending and featured Elon Musk donning a cheesehead hat. But the richest man in the world’s money and presence backfired.

The Democratic candidate won the seat.

On Tuesday, another election for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat was held, albeit with much less fanfare. The liberal candidate skated to a blowout win over his conservative rival, providing progressives with a 5-2 advantage on the bench.

In keeping with national trends, heavily Hispanic areas shifted sharply towards the Democrat-aligned candidate. A key voting bloc for the GOP in 2024 has all but evaporated. Maybe siccing federal agents on immigrant communities wasn’t such a good idea after all!?

Despite Milwaukee and Madison’s status as deep blue cities, Wisconsin has remained a swing state due to its populous and ruby red suburbs. But in another sign of electoral doom for the GOP, Democrats won a mayoral seat in one of the state’s most conservative areas.

Here’s another crazy stat: if you toss out all the Wisconsin districts that Kamala Harris carried in ’24, the liberal Supreme Court candidate still would’ve won.

Georgia looking peachy

Tr*mp won Marjorie Taylor Greene’s rural district with 68% of the vote. The Republican who’s taking MTG’s place in Congress, Clay Fuller, won by just 11%.

Since re-signing from Congress, MTG has emerged as one of Tr*mp’s most vociferous critics on the right. She says the president has sold out the “America First” movement and working class people. In the wake of his unhinged threats, she’s called for him to be removed from office.

It appears that many GOP voters in her district agree. All 10 of the area’s counties shifted by double digits towards the Democratic candidate.

In 2024, nearly two dozen House Republicans won their races by 10 points or less.

Even the GOP’s brazen redistricting efforts don’t seem like they can change the midterm math: Republicans are in trouble!
