Donald Trump proved that his presence in the midterm election is hurting Republicans. Trump can’t help himself. Previously, Trump said that he had no sympathy for people who are struggling due to high costs and prices, but one might think that a president whose party is facing something close to an extinction-level wipeout in an election that is nine days away would try to express some connection to the American people and their suffering.
