Countries that do what Trump wants get lucrative business deals; those that don’t get higher tariffs.
Trump is pursuing his own version of “dollar diplomacy,” a term coined during the Wm Howard Taft administration. The problem is there’s little evidence that “dollar diplomacy” works. wapo.st/47gE6Rf

Opinion | ‘Dollar diplomacy’ doesn’t work. Yet Trump keeps using it.
Trump administration pursuit of profit and peace blurs line between public and private interests.

"In Dodge City, Kan., a deeply Republican area, Jaquan Graves said he voted for Mr. Trump in 2024...When ICE officers descended on his small city last month, Graves said he delivered meals to neighbors...He said he would vote for Democrats for governor and Senate." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/11/u...

Republicans Held Onto the Great Plains for Years. Now They’re Nervous.
Republicans have dominated the center of the country for a quarter-century. Now they face several tough races for Senate and governor.

The American Bar Association laid out the receipts. Big donors get appointments. Big money flows in, investigations disappear, pardons follow, regulations loosen and foreign governments get favorable treatment. The article calls it an “unprecedented pay-to-play culture.” #PayToPlayPresident

Republicans in Kansas, tired of Trump and his economic policies, are turning to Democratic candidate Adam Hamilton. At his meetings, he notices that even farmers who had never voted Democrat are supporting his campaign, which could flip a red seat to blue. #ProudBlue #DV1

Red Guy: “Use me”
Yellow Guy “No”
