Donald Trump asks "why is it that no matter how well you’re doing" about presidents losing midterms

President Donald Trump, during an unprecedented convention, questioned the historical trend of presidents' parties losing seats in midterm elections, even when the president believes their administration is performing well. He made this observation while promising a $5,000 dividend to every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans maintain control of both the House and Senate in the upcoming November midterms. Trump emphasized the economic successes of his administration, including tax cuts and policies like tax-free tips and overtime, and urged voters to support Republican congressional candidates as if he himself were on the ballot. He also proposed legislation to prevent future presidents from opening the country's borders.
