'This is going wrong': Author reveals Trump's unsettling ploy to win the midterm

An author who has written extensively about Donald Trump revealed on Tuesday that the president's latest ploy to win the 2026 midterm election has unsettled White House insiders, and even the president is acknowledging that it is "going wrong."

Michael Wolff, who has written four books about Trump, said during a podcast interview on Tuesday that Trump is trying to find an issue that will take up as much media airspace as possible to have a shot at competing with Democrats in the midterm.
