Donald Trump is right to be scared of the November midterms. Across the board, Republican predictions are gloomy thanks to cratering presidential approval ratings and recent shock Democratic wins in deep red states.
In the event of a Democratic landslide, Trump’s presidential powers become much more limited overnight. Sure, he may not care so much about the legality of what he’s doing, but without control of the Senate and House, he’ll find it much harder to push through new laws and find his ability to enforce executive orders greatly diminished.
