President Donald Trump declared his second term more powerful than his first while campaigning in Kentucky on Saturday, telling supporters, “I can do stuff that is unbelievable.”

Trump appeared in Highland Heights to rally Republican voters ahead of the November midterm elections, where his party has been struggling, and to boost GOP candidates including Ed Gallrein, a candidate for the U.S. House. The president riffed on his decision to change how the U.S. government refers to the Gulf of Mexico, renaming it the Gulf of America.

“I don’t think I could have done this in my first term. This is a much more powerful term,” Trump said. “Google wouldn’t have taken my call in the first. Now, they kiss my ass.”

“Well, I also changed the name of a lake in Canada to the Lake America,” he continued, referring to Lake Ontario.

The display of self-proclaimed power comes against a backdrop of voter frustration with how Trump has wielded it: tariffs and the war with Iran have driven up prices, and a growing share of Americans view the president as looking out for his own interests rather than those of the country.

With control of both chambers of Congress on the line — every seat in the House and roughly a third of the Senate are on the ballot — and, with it, the prospect of Democratic-led investigations of his administration should Democrats win, Trump has put himself at the fore, asking voters to “pretend that I’m on the ballot.” Republicans privately worry, however, that growing disapproval of his administration is a liability. Among the actions fueling that disapproval: Trump nominated one of his personal lawyers to serve as attorney general, ordered military strikes on boats accused of drug smuggling, is trying to put his name on the Kennedy Center, and has enriched himself and his family while in office.

While meandering through topics onstage in Kentucky, Trump touched on gas, saying the war with Iran would end soon — an assertion he has made many times over the course of the nearly eight-month conflict — and that gasoline prices would fall below previous levels. The crowd cheered.

Facing electoral headwinds, Trump has worked to paint a dire picture of Democrats in the final weeks before the midterms. He claimed that if the opposing party wins, the United States will “have a depression,” and that the Democratic platform includes abolishing the U.S. Senate and the U.S. Supreme Court. Neither proposal appears on the Democratic Party’s platform. Trump is instead trying to lump Democrats in with the Democratic Socialists of America, which have had a few candidates win in this year’s primary elections.

Trump also rehashed his dubious promise that if Republicans win the House and the Senate, every adult American would receive $5,000. The pledge would most likely cost more than $1 trillion and require congressional approval, while exacerbating the country’s nearly $1.8 trillion annual budget deficit.

The president added a new, seemingly conditional promise for Kentucky: if Republicans win, he said, the Department of Defense would invest in revitalizing a drug manufacturing facility in the state. Such an investment would put Pentagon dollars behind pharmaceutical manufacturing, though the pledge came without specifics on the facility, the funding amount, or a timeline.

Trump brought Gallrein on stage during the event. Gallrein, the Republican candidate for the northern Kentucky U.S. House district, defeated Rep. Thomas Massie in the GOP primary. Massie had aggravated Trump by pushing for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and opposing the Iran war, and the president responded by successfully backing Gallrein in the party’s primary.

Massie nonetheless retains a following for standing on his staunchly conservative principles, even when that meant voting against his own party. When Trump lashed out at Massie as a “jerk” and a “loser” and trumpeted Gallrein as a more loyal replacement, the crowd’s response was tepid, with about half the arena clapping at the barbs and the other half silent. Whether that split reaction in the arena reflects a broader unease among Republican voters is one of the questions the November elections will answer.
