President Donald Trump is leading the Republican Party into a midterm elections disaster with his social media tirades and unconvincing pronouncements about the economy, warned Republican strategist Karl Rove in his latest column for The Wall Street Journal.
“The president’s grotesqueries have to stop,” Rove wrote Wednesday.
Rove, a senior adviser and deputy chief of staff for former President George W. Bush and one of the architects of the Iraq War, has joined a growing chorus of Republicans who believe Trump is courting disaster with his divisive comments and messaging.
Trump is “making the same mistake” as former President Joe Biden, Rove argued.
“Mr. Biden and his allies looked disconnected from reality when they proclaimed ‘Bidenomics is working’ even as ordinary Americans struggled with inflation,” he wrote in his column. “Telling voters not to believe their own lying checkbooks was politically insane.”
