In Georgia, Trump was on message -- until he wasn't
(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) -snip-When the president was on stage and speaking from the teleprompter, he stayed safely on message, well inside the lines of the White House political teams new plan for him, focused on the economy and affordability ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Under the last administration, every economic policy punished American workers and businesses like this one, rewarding those who outsource to foreign nations, Trump read. Under the Trump administration, our policy is the exact opposite.
But off the teleprompter, the president veered into made-up accusations, wild tangents and the one subject he just cant let go the 2020 elections in Georgia.
Between introducing U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach and Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper, Trump asked if everyone in the audience had seen the FBI raid of the Fulton County election hub.
