Truly incredible how Trump has destroyed every single Republican talking point just in time for the midterms
Screenshot of an X post from the verified “Senate Republicans” account, @SenateGOP. The post reads: “Democrat socialists love to promise free stuff. But they never mention who pays for it.” Beneath the post is an X Community Note labeled “Readers added context.” The note states: “President Donald Trump has proposed several direct cash payouts and rebates funded by tariffs or budget cuts. None were provided.” It lists links from WBAL-TV, ABC7 Chicago, YouTube, and The New York Times as sources. At the bottom of the screenshot, the post is timestamped 4:06 PM on September 23, 2026, and shows 352,000 views.
