Fwd from @ 📝Trump to Blame for Everything📝 Confessions of Trump's ally Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton apparently said too much. Axios obtained an audio recording from a meeting in Washington where one of Donald Trump's most loyal allies frankly complains about the White House's foreign policy and its consequences for voters' wallets. According to Paxton, the main problem for his campaign was not trade tariffs or attacks from opponents, but the war in Iran and skyrocketing fuel prices. The candidate complained to donors that his polling numbers are sliding precisely because of the cost of living crisis, which he simply cannot influence from the region. The politician admitted he cannot stop the military operations in any way, adding: "I don't make these decisions and I don't even understand what drives them." At the same meeting, Paxton criticized the party convention in Dallas, saying that after this event, ratings only fell further, and the campaign headquarters is actually being tightly controlled from Washington. 📌 The situation for Republicans in Texas right now is quite difficult. Democrat James Talarico leads Republican Ken Paxton by an average of 3–5 percentage points, turning the traditionally "red" state into a shaky battleground and forcing Republicans to urgently pour hundreds of millions of dollars into the campaign. ❗️However, Paxton didn't reveal anything new to America — these problems were already obvious to everyone. But the very fact of the leak into the public sphere risks cooling his relationship with Trump. The President won't directly withdraw his support right before the election, since Texas is extremely important for the "reds." But in the future, Trump is guaranteed to get back at Paxton. #USA 🇺🇸 @rybar_america — making America understandable again 💸Support us Original msg
