Trump touts his power at Kentucky rally to energize voters ahead of midterm elections

Trump said the Department of War would invest $100 million in a Kentucky drug plant if Republicans win the midterms.

  • On Saturday, President Donald Trump rallied in Highland Heights, Kentucky, to bolster Republican turnout, claiming, "I can do stuff that is unbelievable." He touted his expanded power in his second term, referencing his ability to rename geographic landmarks like Lake Ontario.
  • Trump targeted former Rep. Thomas Massie at the rally, calling him a "jerk" and "loser" for opposing the Iran war. He trumpeted Ed Gallrein as a more loyal replacement, though the crowd's response was tepid.
  • Alleging the Democratic Party platform includes abolishing the Senate and Supreme Court, Trump claimed that if his opponents win, the U.S. will "have a depression." These claims do not appear on the party's platform.
  • Trump reiterated a promise that every American would receive $5,000 if Republicans win, a proposal costing more than $1 trillion and worsening the nearly $1.8 trillion annual budget deficit. He also pledged Department of Defense investment in a Kentucky drug manufacturing facility.
  • With control of Congress on the line, Trump urged voters to "pretend that I" am on the ballot to prevent Democratic-led investigations. The rally emphasized the high stakes for his administration in the upcoming midterm elections.
