Ex-Trump Spox Says It 'Seems' He Wants to 'Tank Republicans' Chances' in Midterms

Former White House spokesperson Sarah Matthews, who worked for President Donald Trump from June 2020 to January 2021, says it “seems” her former employer “is doing everything in his power to tank Republican chances in the midterms.” In a segment on MS NOW, Matthews explained to correspondent Antonia Hylton that Trump’s fixation on the SAVE America Act could cost him, and the Republican Party, dearly this fall.

“I think that if President Trump was doing everything in his power to tank Republicans’ chances in the midterms, he wouldn’t be doing anything differently,” she said. “That’s what it seems like. It seems like he does not care about the party, which he never has, to be fair. He has never cared about what is good for the betterment of the Republican Party. He has only ever cared about himself and accumulating as much power as possible.”

The president refocused his attention on the SAVE America Act this week after the Supreme Court ruled that states can count mail-in ballots that arrive after an election. “In light of the tremendous loss in the Supreme Court today concerning Voter’s Rights, and the fact that ‘people’s’ votes are allowed to be counted LONG AFTER an Election is over, it is more important than ever to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

This way he can blame the Democrats for all his failures.
He doesn’t give a shit about anything but himself
