MAGA activists are pushing for President Trump to resort to extraordinary measures — including martial law — if they believe the midterm elections are "rigged," — and there's no evidence that the elections will be rigged. But people in this orbit have close access to the president.

Ditch the oil. Oil markets initially treated the Iran war as a brief bullish disruption in a long-term bearish trend. But traders are now betting that oil prices will remain elevated through 2028, forcing a rethink of the global inflation outlook. Reuters

The most immediate outcome of this plan has been to present Ukraine as the cause of economic turmoil and Russia as the innocent victim of Ukrainian warmongering. Trump almost immediately began to praise Putin and assail the Russian dictator’s adversary.

Trump Is Showing Again Why Presidents Lose Power So Fast
Trying to lower expectations for Republicans on Nov. 3, Vice President JD Vance has recently stressed that it has become almost impossible for the president’s party to maintain unified control of the House and Senate through a midterm election. He’s right about that trend. But he’s wrong to ignore the role that President Donald Trump — and his Oval Office predecessors — have played in making it a self-fulfilling prophecy. There’s a lesson in that for future presidents.
