Susie Wiles and other top Trump team members just hosted a Capitol Hill MIDTERM strategy session with nearly 100 power players — and the number one issue for Republicans will be ECONOMY

- Housing affordability
- Health insurance transparency data
- Lowering drug costs
- Tax cuts
- Banning stock trading for Congress

, pollster Tony Fabrizio recommended focusing on podcasts and social media

TRUMP will be running his own instincts-driven 2024-style BLITZ, while everyone else needs to "stay on message" driven by the data

THAT'S THE GAMEPLAN! Time to win and keep the House and Senate

Keeping everyone on message is key. It is far easier for them to maintain their comfortable status quo with a compliant media than to cause change for the good of the people they serve which will force them to make decisions for which they are ultimately responsible.

Our economy has never been better. Thing are way more affordable. For instance, talking to folks around here in Hammond they are loving their low electricity bills. They’ve gone down a ton along with gas prices.


The working class finally is getting back on their feet, and it’s all thanks to DJT

Would an invasion of Iran change the message?

Lowering drug costs

I've directed about 6 estate planning clients to Trump Rx in the last 2 weeks. This demographic votes in midterms at a very high rate, probably much higher than your younger generations.

- Housing affordability


Oh really? What about this promise?

quote:

“I don’t want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people that own their homes, and they can be assured that’s what’s going to happen, Trump told his Cabinet on Jan. 29.

- Banning stock trading for Congress


Isn't that horse already out of the barn long galloping away?

quote:

- Health insurance transparency data
- Lowering drug costs




"Transparency data"? Like AI Data sharing of our private health info?

"Lowered drug costs"? Nice. So now Paw-Paw's can live till tomorrow -- his pill won't cost $2,000, but now only $1000?

quote:

- Tax cuts


Promised by every Emperor since Caesar.

Yes. That’s a winner.

Just had a conversation with the ne of my adult sons last night.

He did his taxes and called to make sure he’d done them correctly because his taxes have never been so low with higher than historical income.

He doesn’t make a ton (he’s late 20s) but all in close to six figures his 2025 total taxes were low enough it worried him.

Did anyone tell Trump about the housing affordability part? Because he just said the complete opposite last week.

What’s ironic is the one democrat who was successful lately has been mamdummy but his policies are the most extreme.

But he won bc he actually had ideas, albeit horrible ones.

Everyone else is talking talk talk, bitch bitch bitch about Trump

They’re focused on lowering interest rates when housing prices need to drop. Lower rates will increase prices more

Two parts to affordability: price and interest.

I think Trump wants to maintain prices and lower interest rates. I don’t know that this is the proper strategy - for my kid’s sake, I wouldn’t mind lower prices and lower interest rates. Doesn’t matter much to me either way since mine is paid for and I’m not moving. Hope to never buy another house.

He will if he feels they reach the people. I do believe Turning Point USA is going to be a major factor in keeping people motivated as well.
