The chief executive of one of the most hardcore pro-Trump outlets in America lashed out at the president this week, stating that Donald Trump appears “weak and rudderless” on economic issues following a Democratic sweep in last week’s off-year elections.

Sean Davis, the CEO of The Federalist, took to X on Sunday afternoon to blast both Trump and Republicans for not adequately addressing the concerns many Americans have about the continued rise in inflation and the cost of housing.

While Democrats made affordability the central issue in last Tuesday’s elections, Trump called it a “con job” invented by his political opponents while insisting that prices were actually coming down. “The reason I don’t want to talk about affordability — everybody knows it is far less expensive under Trump than it was under sleepy Joe Biden,” he said last week, a day after declaring: “I don’t want to hear about the affordability.”

Davis, who has regularly defended the president and his administration, first took aim at congressional Republicans on their “strategy right now,” claiming that whoever is advising them “has an IQ barely approaching room temperature.” According to the right-wing media figure, the GOP has “no accomplishments, no plans, and no vision” for America at the moment, warning that this could lead to massive defeats in the 2026 midterm elections.
