In Kentucky campaign stop, Trump says he "can do stuff that is unbelievable"

At a Saturday rally in Highland Heights, Kentucky, President Donald Trump argued that his second term gives him far more leverage than his first, using the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America as his example. He said Google ignored him earlier but now bends to his wishes, and he claimed he also gave Lake Ontario a new name. "I can do stuff that is unbelievable," he said, according to CBS News.

The event aimed to energize Republican voters, including support for Ed Gallrein's House bid, as the party struggles ahead of the midterms. CBS News reports that voters are unhappy with how Trump has used his authority, citing tariffs and the war with Iran as drivers of higher prices, and a growing sense that he serves himself rather than the nation. Republicans reportedly worry privately that he hurts their chances, yet he has made himself the central figure of the campaign while the House and Senate are both up for grabs.

Onstage, Trump again said the Iran conflict, now nearly eight months old, would end soon and gas prices would fall below earlier levels.
