President Donald Trump celebrated his record this week in endorsing winning candidates \u2013 endorsements typically made to oust his perceived GOP enemies \u2013 but in doing so, he has \u201cessentially\u201d turned himself into a \u201clame-duck\u201d president devoid of any real power for the remainder of his term, one GOP Senate adviser has warned.<\/p>\n

The adviser, who spoke with The Atlantic in its analysis<\/u> published on Friday under the condition of anonymity, named the president\u2019s \u201cpursuit of retribution\u201d as the key driver in what The Atlantic described as his \u201cpolitical decline,\u201d a dynamic exacerbated by the shrinking number of people within Trump\u2019s orbit willing to push back on his \u201cpersonal priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem is he has nobody around him who is willing to tell him, \u2018Sir, the stuff you are talking about is not possible, and you are shooting yourself in the foot every time,\u2019\u201d the adviser said. \u201cHe essentially has lame-ducked himself in pursuit of retribution, and either the staff has failed to make a reasonable argument against these actions, or they have told him this and he is no longer listening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s endorsement record in the 2026 primary season has been 100%<\/u>, as reported by Fox News, with all 101 U.S. House candidates backed by Trump winning their respective elections. Trump also has a 100% rate of success in endorsing Senate and gubernatorial candidates during the 2026 primary season.<\/p>\n

In doing so, however, Trump has booted out Republicans that may have been willing to push back on Trump\u2019s priorities that critics say<\/u> appear out-of-step with the economic challenges facing most Americans \u2013 priorities such as the White House ballroom<\/u> or his taxpayer-funded<\/u> $1.7 billion \u201canti-weaponization\u201d fund.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor months now, Republicans have fervently hoped that Trump\u2019s focus would shift to issues that could help the party in November,\u201d The Atlantic\u2019s analysis reads. <\/p>\n

\u201cInstead, he has been consumed with an Iran peace agreement and with his projects: new paint for the Reflecting Pool, a triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery, the conversion of a Washington, D.C., public golf course into championship links, and, of course, the ballroom. The economy? Not so much.\u201d<\/p>\n
