Donald Trump has been complaining both privately and publicly about his midterm rally schedule. Trump has actually been complaining about his travel schedule since he was 80 years old and seems to hate traveling to do these rallies, as he has reportedly questioned why he is doing all of this traveling when he isn’t on the ballot.

The travel has clearly had an impact on the president. Not only have his rally crowds gotten smaller in the red states that he is visiting, but his speeches have become more disjointed and at times nonsensical.
For instance, in South Carolina he promised that a Democratic midterm election victory would bring about another Great Depression.
Trump said, “ If Democrats win, you will have a 1929-style economic depression because that’s how bad their policies are. You’ll end up in a depression. If that happens, that will happen. If the Republicans win, you’ll each have $5,000 in your pocket and economic success for our country like we have never seen before, like what’s going on.”
Trump will still be president after the midterm election. If there is a depression, it will be his fault. Democrats in Congress can’t change economic policies without his cooperation.
Plus, Republicans already rejected his $5,000 bribe and said that it won’t be happening. Americans would have a better chance of getting those checks if Democrats won than if Republicans win.
Trump is clearly toast, but when a reporter asked if the president was canceling an upcoming trip to Kansas because he was tired of traveling, the president blew up.
