Right-wing talk radio host Steve Deace sounded the alarm over what he saw as a rapidly deteriorating situation for President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress on Wednesday.
“Yesterday, Iowa House Republicans were informed by their own pollsters that if you are in a +15 district you’re within the margin for error, if you’re in a +10 district you’re underwater, and that this might end up being an even worse midterm environment than 2006,” Deace wrote in a lengthy post to X, adding that he was worried about causing a panic but “ultimately decided the truth should be shared while there are still six weeks left to do something about it for the good of the country.”
If things are this bad in his own state, he added, “where Trump has been the most popular political figure over the last decade, I can’t imagine where it is everywhere else.”
The biggest factor, he warned, is the Iran war, which is now a “2020 Covid lockdown level of political albatross … We are risking what’s left of the Trump presidency on this, because if Democrats take control of the legislative branch, the Trump domestic agenda we all voted for will largely cease between what a Democrat Congress will do and what the courts have already been doing.”
“Many of us never thought [the war] was worth it, and more and more it appears voters agree. We have to save our own country and our own way of life first before we can save anyone else,” Deace wrote. He added that he “desperately” wants Trump and the GOP to win, and it’s still possible — but not if things continue at their current rate.
“We need the president out on the stump asap,” he wrote. “We need better and way more aggressive messaging. Stop running fake and gay ads about how often so-and-so shows up for votes, and instead mercilessly hammer Democrats on the wickedness they’re voting for. Articulate specifically what the mission/victory is in Iran/Hormuz, because out here in the cheap seats it feels like another Middle East War quagmire regular folks are paying for on both ends all over again.”
“And for heaven’s sake, make sure Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas are getting the finest healthcare in America,” he concluded.
