Buoyed by defeating Republicans at the ballot box he deemed disloyal to him, President Donald Trump is \u201calmost maniacally focused\u201d on doing whatever he wants, despite the very real potential consequence that could lead to the GOP losing majority control of the House and possibly the Senate in November, Punchbowl News reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump appears to have all but given up any pretense that he\u2019s concerned about the increasingly fragile Republican majorities on Capitol Hill,\u201d according to Punchbowl.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just congressional seats the president is risking, it\u2019s the support of voters who have already given him dismal poll numbers on everything from the economy to the war in Iran.<\/p>\n

Voters are facing tremendous health care bills, rising food costs, and a roughly fifty-percent increase at the gas pumps.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs gas prices skyrocket due to the unpopular war in Iran, Trump says it\u2019s a \u2018very small price to pay\u2019 as long as he believes the conflict is proceeding to his liking,\u201d Punchbowl noted.<\/p>\n

And the president is often focused on the White House ballroom he now calls \u201cmy gift to the United States of America.\u201d He has yet to secure the $1 billion in funding for the security enhancements he is touting.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Trump held a press conference with pool reporters, going over very specific details including revealing that the ballroom is a \u201cshield\u201d for a military complex underneath, which will go six stories deep. The ballroom, the president detailed, will be constructed of drone-proof glass and steel.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegardless of your views about the necessity of White House renovations,\u201d Punchbowl noted, \u201cit doesn\u2019t take a political wiz to come to the conclusion that now might not be the best time to brag about building a plush ballroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

The administration this week unveiled the president\u2019s $1.776 billion fund that will compensate alleged victims of Justice Department \u201cweaponization\u201d by the Biden administration. Punchbowl reports even some Republicans were \u201cshocked.\u201d<\/p>\n

The president is moving forward with his Triumphal Arch in Washington, D.C., which may cost taxpayers millions. That\u2019s on top of the millions he is spending to resurface the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the White House revealed the administration is managing \u201cdozens\u201d of construction projects in D.C. Punchbowl noted the administration is renovating what will become a championship golf course, and is putting the president\u2019s name and face on several federal government buildings.<\/p>\n

Trump is also removing thousands of troops from Europe, building \u201cTrump battleships,\u201d and \u201ceven letting his Defense secretary campaign against one of the president\u2019s political opponents\u201d \u2014 something experts say is highly unusual, especially while the nation is at war.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump now has a Senate Republican Conference that includes two senators he targeted for defeat, plus a handful of vulnerable Republicans who are simply hoping to survive the midterms,\u201d Punchbowl observed. \u201cGetting to 51 will be very difficult for the rest of 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
