Rep. Pramila Jayapal says President Trump's Republican midterm convention, where he led attendees in reciting a pledge calling him the greatest president in U.S. history, reflects panic over sinking approval numbers. Video circulating from the event shows Trump instructing the crowd to repeat the pledge and then telling supporters he intends to 'cheat like hell' getting out the vote.

Jayapal made the comments on MS Now, tying them to Trump's unfulfilled promises, including a proposed $5,000 payment to Americans contingent on a Republican midterm win and pledges to end the war in Iran and lower gas prices. She questioned why those outcomes haven't already materialized if the president has the power to deliver them.

Trump faces declining approval ratings and rising consumer costs tied to the conflict in Iran, with some former supporters publicly breaking from him over unmet promises, according to the report.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

When a man has to teach a room the words to a song about how great he is, the applause has stopped coming on its own. And there's the $5,000 he says you'll get if the right people win, which is a funny way to describe money a president could apparently hand over any Tuesday he pleased. Same with the gas prices. You either can or you can't, and the hedging tells you which.
