Trump's $530M Midterm War Council Forges Strategy While He Phones It In
KEY POINTS
- •On Tuesday, Trump’s top political advisers met at the Four Seasons hotel in D.C. to plan midterm strategy, excluding Trump himself.
- •They control about $530 million in campaign funds plus hundreds of millions in dark money through Securing American Greatness, targeting Nov. 3 elections.
- •Despite challenging poll numbers, they rely on redistricting gains and hate-based voter tactics to try keeping GOP control of the House.
On Tuesday, inside the cozy confines of the Four Seasons DC, MAGA's top brains gathered without Trump—because why sit in a strategic war room when you can catch a flight to Manila? Tony Fabrizio dusted off his polling powers, James Blair is orchestrating political operatics, and Susie Wiles, Trump’s longest-serving strategist (translation: political glue), runs the show. Amid $530 million from Trump's super PAC plus mysterious 'hundreds of millions' in dark money from Securing American Greatness, these geniuses face grim polling, rising gas freakouts, and an Iranian war backdrop. Highlights include claiming Trump's tax cuts saved 'real money,' despite John Anzalone tweeting they wrecked the economy, and scheming on redistricting that gifted Republicans 10 extra House seats—because gerrymandering is the gift that keeps on giving. Trump stays home; his cash and crew plot the relentless battle of who Americans hate less.

(1 of 3)Trump's political game plan now involves $530 million, secret billions, and a hotel pow-wow so intense they didn't even invite Trump himself. Strategy by absentee tweet but hey, nobody said losing midterms has to be boring.
Nothing screams 'winning strategy' like randomly gathering $530 million and ignoring the polling disaster starring Trump himself.
Trump’s midterm plan is $530 million in cash, a hotel meetup, and a ‘who do you hate less’ voter algorithm that definitely can’t backfire.
