DALLAS \u2014 The Republican Party\u2019s \u201cTrump-a-palooza\u201d midterm convention in Texas concluded<\/a> on Thursday night with the president of the United States playing a meme video about how \u201cGod gave us\u201d Donald Trump and then leading the crowd in swearing a loyalty pledge to him, adding that they\u2019d \u201cgo to Hell\u201d for violating it. The crowd absolutely gobbled up the cultish Dear Leader performance artistry, and the president basked in the glow of a two-day party he threw for himself to feed his mammoth ego, not to aid his party in the high-stakes 2026 midterm elections.<\/p>\n

But by nightfall on Thursday, members of Team Trump started feeling the gnaw of reality, rather than the good vibes that Trump and his party were trying to present to the public. After Trump\u2019s Thursday speech wrapped, several administration officials, Trump advisers, and other longtime associates of the president\u2019s \u2013 including some who were in Dallas for the GOP convention \u2013 privately relayed to Zeteo their concerns that Trump\u2019s Iran war was further spiraling out of control. <\/p>\n

Several of the sources said it was a terrible split-screen to have President Trump throwing a two-day, Trump-worshipping bash for himself in Dallas \u2013 where he defended launching his failed war in Iran, and dismissed voters\u2019 complaints about higher gas prices \u2013 at the same time that the Iranian government and its allies were mounting a startling new level of attacks and operations in the regional war that Trump recklessly started.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks bad, I am willing to admit it,\u201d a Trump adviser told Zeteo late on Thursday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DALLAS \u2014 The Republican Party\u2019s \u201cTrump-a-palooza\u201d midterm convention in Texas concluded on Thursday night with the president of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":434578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103],"class_list":["post-434577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=434577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/434578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=434577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=434577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=434577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
