Trump shares warning that GOP is drifting toward a midterm backlash

President Donald Trump reposted a graphic on Truth Social that reproduces a July 14 X message from user Matt Von Swol. Von Swol, who lists former roles as a nuclear scientist for the U.S. Department of Energy and a photographer for Apple and Hyatt, claims to have spoken with voters who are "legitimately pissed off" over the GOP’s slow progress on reforms promised during the Trump administration. He cites frustrations over the lack of deficit reduction, immigration enforcement, and other policy goals, suggesting that the party is unaware of a looming midterm backlash.

The Trump repost contained only the screenshot and was posted shortly after noon on Wednesday. No further commentary or endorsement was added by Trump. The original X post warned that if congressional Republicans fail to deliver tangible results, voter anger could have serious electoral consequences.
