Trump barreling toward disaster with just '30 days to turn this ship': GOP strategists
With President Donald Trump’s favorability at historically low levels as his policies continue to economically ravage Americans, GOP strategist Brad Todd issued the president a tight deadline to turn things around, or risk a devastating collapse of power.Trump’s tariffs and his decision to launch a war against Iran have sent prices for a number of goods skyrocketing, leading to a considerable backlash from voters that has led analysts to predict a historically poor midterm election performance from the GOP. Todd noted, however, that Trump’s personal grievances with members of his own party – grievances that have put several GOP lawmakers at odds with the president – may compromise his ability to win back support from voters ahead of the midterms, and urged the president to focus on rebuilding his coalition before it’s too late.“Right now, there are eight senators in the Republican conference out of 53 who are pretty put out with the White House. That is a bad margin when you still have bills to pass and bills to pay,” Todd said Sunday during an appearance on CNN. “Some of these problems are self-inflicted – they didn't have to happen this way.”Dave Urban, another GOP strategist and former senior advisor for Trump’s campaign, echoed Todd’s concern, warning the president that he was facing “giant problems” that didn’t “get any easier” to address “when you've got a bunch of angry Republicans.”Just before the segment ended, Todd issued Trump a tight deadline he argued would be necessary to meet in order to save Republicans from a devastating loss this November.“The next 30 days is big,” Todd said. “The president has 30 days to turn this ship.”
