President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Republicans will hold a midterm convention next year to showcase his administration's accomplishments, as the GOP seeks to increase its slim majority in the House through redistricting.

The announcement, made on Truth Social, did not specify when or where the convention would be held, saying only that those details were still "to be determined."

"The Republicans are going to do a Midterm Convention in order to show the great things we have done since the Presidential Election of 2024," Trump wrote, adding "it will be quite the Event, and very exciting!"

The Republican National Committee declined to provide additional details, but RNC spokesperson Kiersten Pels said in a statement that Trump is "leading with bold, innovative ideas to energize our Party and keep us on the path to victory."

1. Sheesh. Seems the only thing left is a

Mid-Term presidential election.

[Lovie777]

2. The rate shithole and the Republican party are going...............

they are self exploding.

Hopefully "We the People" won't be in that number.

[EYESORE 9001]

3. I guess it's too early to plan my summer vacation for next year

Might be interesting to document goings-on swirling around this fabulous soirée.

4. Sales must be WAY down for Made in CHI-NA Trump merch

The guy who only knows marketing says: 'I know, let's have another big GOP hoopla and I can sell all this leftover crap'

[lostincalifornia]

5. The question is will our media give them 24/7 coverage of this crap?

[Hieronymus Phact]

14. no the real question is

Will they make taxpayers pay for it.

22. A better question, why aren't we doing a midterm convention?

[CincyDem]

6. Republican midterm convention is just a Trump adulation rally, attendance mandatory.

This may be his last chance to pack an arena with cheering sycophants to honor dear leader. No protests (inside), lots of balloons, and flags to hug.

As counterintuitive as it may be, I’m thinking this is a good sign. He wants a convention where he’s the star of the show and he knows if he waits until 2028, it will be someone else’s show or he knows he may not make it til August ‘28.

A man a dream, right?

7. He knows with his health he could easily be DEAD by 2028. Needs another huge grift

before that happens.

[TomSlick]

19. I doubt Trump has any awareness of his own mortality.

[IronLionZion]

8. Dude loves his rallies

Maybe he thinks he'll get a convention bump in polling. The economy is not in a good place or in a good trajectory currently. Plenty of his voters are feeling less than great with his tariffs and mass deportations impacting their farms and businesses.

13. By next summer the economy will be in recession

It will be fun to watch them blame Biden and trumpet their pride in ICE’s terrorism.

Even with MSM complicity, I don’t think voters will buy what MAGA GOP is selling.

The convention might even help Dems regain the senate (the house is already a given).

I wonder how many Republican candidates will have “prior commitments” and won’t attend this shit show?

[EarthFirst]

9. Re-branding as The New American Bund Party?

[dweller]

10. Trump to declare Wednesday no longer 'hump day'

But now will be known as Trump Day and all citizens will be required to pay homage to his presidency .

😐

11. Dems: please dont copy it. Respond with something better.

Like an interstate universal healthcare compact. Or something. Lol

[Fiendish Thingy]

12. Good- let them put their fascism on full public display

The economy will be reeling, and there will a parade of wannabe MAGA-crown successors who will spew hatred and vitriol to remind the voters of their evil incompetence.

It will be a glorious, historic, unforced error of epic proportions.

[Bayard]

15. A Nazi Convention

[Fiendish Thingy]

16. Spend all your money!

Throw a party celebrating your fascism!

The economy will be in recession by next summer, so make sure to blame Biden!

It will be a laff riot…

[Butterflylady]

17. I didn't know you cold have a convention for 1 minute......

They should have a convention for his mistakes. But that would take a month.

[Nigrum Cattus]

18. They will be handing out the new arm bands

[Retrograde]

20. What's it going to cost taxpayers? (n/t)

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. He wants his ass kissed some more
