Democrats hoping to blame Trump for World Cup failures forced to change strategy after great success: Politico

The fantastic success of the World Cup in the U.S. has soured many Democrats who were hoping it would be a black eye for President Donald Trump, according to a Politico report.The report found that many believed the complex logistics of organizing the global event might be too much for American officials but that that hope has been dashed so far.'What an absolute crock of an article.'"I think that there was a little bit of like liberal wishcasting that this would maybe be a disaster to sort of stick it to Trump,” said Democratic strategist Rob Flaherty. "It hasn’t yet been."It went on to say that Democrats have pivoted from criticizing the tournament in anticipation of its failure to praising local officials rather than crediting the Trump administration.The Politico report was unwelcome on social media, where many on the left expressed their outrage."This is the most hilarious stretch I've ever read," replied A.J. Delgado, who identifies as anti-Trump. "Yes, nothing makes Dems more uncomfortable than Dem-mayor Boston; Dem-mayor Atlanta; Dem-mayor Miami and more doing a great job hosting. This is like saying Dems are struggling with the Knicks' success.""Why would Democrats grapple with it being that it’s democratic cities that benefited from it? Pretty stupid headline," responded Leslie Marshall."What an absolute crock of an article," said another X user."Truly stupid claim. Conservatives make everything political & divisive. The media was so much better when it simply reported events," said another critic."Article is trash. Dems arent uncomfortable with #WorldCup success," replied one detractor. "You can enjoy games, events and Europeans amazement of American culture while also thinking Trump is POS. Cup just showed Europeans think Trump is POS but still love USA."RELATED: Atlanta stadium accused of promoting Islam at World Cup match White House spokesperson Davis Ingle responded to the report by praising Trump's role."Thanks to President Trump’s bold leadership, the FIFA World Cup 2026 will undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest and most historic sporting events in history," he said on social media."Another win for the American people and the world," he added.Like Blaze News?

Trump insider blows up after Mike Johnson's 'unmitigated' midterms 'disaster'

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon declared House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) an "unmitigated disaster" on Thursday, warning his MAGA base that Republicans have already lost the Senate ahead of the midterms.Bannon unloaded on his War Room podcast on Real America's Voice after President Donald Trump blew up a rare Republican win — a popular bipartisan housing bill — to demand Congress first pass his sweeping election overhaul.Trump canceled the signing of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act an hour before he was due at the Capitol on Wednesday. He announced on Truth Social that he wouldn't sign it until Congress passes the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, also known as the SAVE America Act.Critics say the SAVE America Act would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters — part of a broader Republican effort to reshape who can participate in American elections.Johnson publicly backed Trump's move. But a source told Politico, the speaker was privately "f—ing surprised and angry.""Mike Johnson, who's just been an unmitigated disaster," Bannon said on air, mocking the speaker with the nickname "Polly Pockets.""Polly Pockets is gonna skip around that he's got something done," Bannon said. "'I did something! I did something!'"Johnson raced to the White House on Thursday. After more than three hours with Trump, he told reporters he'd be transmitting the housing bill — and expected the president to sign it."You've already lost the Senate because of this," Bannon told his War Room listeners. "Or you're gonna lose the Senate and all the money the donors put into it.""I don't see the energy to save the House," he added. "Let me be blunt.""If something is done and they start moving legislation before Save America, I will tell you," Bannon warned, threatening to pull his grassroots support.

Thomas Massie calls out Trump's election fraud claims

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) challenged President Donald Trump's rationale for demanding Congress pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE America Act, calling the president's election fraud claims absurd. Trump continues insisting that fraud cost him the 2020 presidency and made passage of the voter ID legislation a prerequisite for signing other bills. "I think it's a distraction from our real problems," Massie argued, and crassly noted Republicans won all the elections, controlling the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and White House. The Kentucky Congressman lost his Republican primary last month to Trump-endorsed Ed Gallrein after allegedly angering the president by pushing for the release of Department of Justice files on Jeffrey Epstein. Trump canceled a scheduled bipartisan housing cost legislation signing, reiterating his refusal to sign anything until Congress approves the SAVE Act, which critics argue would revoke the rights of millions of voters.
