“It was an address that many Republicans and even some of President Trump’s own advisers didn’t want him to make,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“But 18 months into his second term, the president has little interest in hearing the word no.”
“The prime-time address Thursday, in which Trump tried to raise doubts about the integrity of U.S. elections, was the latest in a string of decisions—at home and abroad—that have baffled and frustrated senior members of Trump’s own party, according to people familiar with the matter.”
“Some in the GOP worry Trump isn’t sufficiently focused on economic issues voters say they care about most, not to mention the Iran war that shows no sign of letting up, ahead of midterm elections in which Republicans are at risk of losing their majorities in Congress.”
