— Donald J. Trump urged voters to re-elect Roger Marshall and defeat Democratic candidates, characterizing his political opponents as extremists and communists.

Here is the full post on truthsocial: “The Dumocrats are the Party of Abdul Mohammed al-Sayed, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, A.O.C., James TalaFREAKO, Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren, Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi, representing all the Fraudsters, Thieves, and Thugs driving around in luxury cars, while receiving welfare checks paid for by American Taxpayers. A vote for ANY Democrat this year is a vote to let that small and dangerous group of Extremists hold all of America hostage. In 15 days, we are going to re-elect Roger Marshall, and DEFEAT the Communists, Jihadists, and corrupt anti-American Lunatics once and for all! Trump” on October 19, 2026 at 8:26 PM ET.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
