President Donald Trump's ability to sway the 2026 midterms has been evident in a recent series of GOP primaries, which found Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky), Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana), and other incumbents losing to challengers Trump endorsed. But Republican primaries and the general election are two very different things, and according to Zeteo's Asawin Suebsaeng, Trump's "spiraling unpopularity" is making GOP insiders increasingly worried. "If you've been following the news for the first year and a half of the second Trump administration," Suebsaeng explains in Zeteo, "you've probably seen elite conservatives, otherwise so fast to sacrifice all oversight and leverage to their dear leader, occasionally pop up to finger-wag the president. Usually, this isn't for any particular moral or constitutional reason. It's because Republicans on Capitol Hill want to stay there and don't like that Trump's abysmal record and spiraling unpopularity are jeopardizing their job security."Suebsaeng continues, "This is why you've noticed such an uptick of notable Republicans coming out against the Trump Administration's $1.776 billion pot of taxpayer money, established to benefit the president's allies and (alleged!) criminal associates who claim Democrats or prosecutors were too mean."Many GOP lawmakers are fearful of offending Trump because they don't want to suffer the same fate as Cornyn, Massie or Cassidy. But they're also worried about the general election in November.The Trump administration's $1.7 billion "anti-weaponization fund," Suebsaeng stresses, is so unpopular that some Republican insiders see it as a major political liability for their party — especially in light of recent internal polling."Multiple sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that in recent days, private polling has circulated among a number of prominent Republican organizations," Suebsaeng reports. "The non-public data shows that Trump's nearly $1.8 billion slush fund is resoundingly unpopular with most American voters, including much coveted independents."A GOP consultant, interviewed on condition of anonymity, told Suebsaeng, "This could really f–– us. Why do you think everyone's so upset?"A former Trump administration official, also quoted anonymously and described by Suebsaeng as someone "familiar with" that internal GOP polling, told the journalist, "You don't need a poll to tell you that this fund was a bad idea. Far too many Americans now view President Trump as corrupt, and that is going to be a significant hurdle for Republicans this year at a time when the voters want to be hearing about how you are making life easier and cheaper for them or how you're making the country safe — not about a f–– ballroom. This fund business just adds to that perception. And Donald Trump isn't the one whose name is on the ballot this year, so he's not going to be the one who really loses from his decisions or rhetoric."

A physician expressed serious concerns about President Donald Trump's physical and mental health ahead of his third medical checkup in in 13 months.Trump, the oldest president to ever be inaugurated, turns 80 next month, and Dr. Jonathan Reiner told "CNN News Central" that he has grave concerns about some specific medical issues that have slipped into public view as the president goes to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a scheduled medical and dental checkup."The president and his team are not legally required to release information to Congress or the public, and I think that really should change," Reiner said. "There are so many roles in our society that require annual assessments of physical capacity. You know, pilots, Secret Service agents, school bus drivers, and for the chief executive of this country and the commander in chief of our armed forces, we should have a clear understanding that the president is fit for duty."The White House has offered little information about the president's health, despite some visible symptoms of apparent age-related health issues."I do want to see this during this examination a credible explanation for his visible health concerns," Reiner said. "His bruising, which initially was described as due to vigorous hand shaking, which is not credible, [and] his severe edema in his ankles, which was described as, you know, chronic venous insufficiency when just three months before, one year ago, he was his examination disclosed that he had no edema, which would then make it acute acute venous insufficiency, which is an entirely different thing."Trump frequently posts on social media late into the night or early in the morning, and Reiner said that's indicative of sleep issues that are deeply concerning."The president has severe daytime somnolence," Reiner said. "He falls asleep very often. He's fallen asleep in the Oval Office on multiple occasions with people talking to him in the Cabinet Room, and was concerned yesterday that he might have fallen asleep at Arlington National Cemetery during Memorial Day observances, and chronic insomnia is a severe illness. It can result in an increase in risk of dementia, decrease in cognitive effects in older people."It's equivalent to about increasing your age by about three and a half years," the physician added. "It increases your cardiac risk of having a heart attack or developing congestive heart failure, and it can produce a decline in your sort of mental functions, like it can increase depression, anxiety, so it's a real problem, and the president appears to struggle to stay awake during the day, and I'd like to hear what the White House has done to evaluate why the president has this increased daytime somnolence and what they're doing to improve that."Reiner, a cardiologist and CNN medical analyst who served as Vice President Dick Cheney's personal heart doctor for more than a decade, has become one of the most prominent medical voices publicly questioning Trump's own fitness for office. - YouTube youtu.be
