The President "has at various points in the last few weeks said he doesn’t care about the negotiations to end his Iran war, about the upcoming 2026 midterms in which Republicans may take a big hit because of his administration, or about Americans’ financial situations."
“It’s a new message,” Democratic strategist James Carville said. “I’ve never in all my years in politics, I’ve never heard the leader of a political party say ‘I don’t care if we win the election or not, matters nothing to me.’”
Another first for the President.
