President Donald Trump on Wednesday reposted a message on Truth Social warning that the Republican Party is "sleepwalking toward midterm reckoning."

The post, shared slightly after noon on Wednesday from Trump's official account, consisted only of a screenshot of a post from X by a user named Matt Von Swol. In his X profile bio, Von Swol says he is a "former nuclear scientist for the U.S. [Department] of Energy" and an "ex-photographer" for companies including Apple and Hyatt. His posting history includes a range of right-wing talking points, and other online references describe him as a "Christian thought leader."

The post Trump shared first appeared on X on July 14. In it, Von Swol said he had spoken with "people who normally have ZERO interest in politics who are legitimately pissed off" and said they were frustrated by elected Republicans moving too slowly on Trump's promised reforms.

"I don't think the GOP fully grasp how badly they are f—— up right now," Von Swol wrote. "I'm talking to people who normally have ZERO interest in politics who are legitimately p—— off. They are not seeing the major reform they thought would happen and are REALLY MAD about it. No true accountability. No true mass deportations. No meaningful decrease in the deficit. Lots of very long vacations and no work . No bills being passed that REDUCE the government involvement in their lives. I'm very worried the GOP is sleepwalking toward a midterm reckoning they don't see coming."

He added: "People are p—— off that they voted Trump into office and then the GOP continues to slow-walk every reform people want. Where are all the DOGE cuts that were promised? Where is the SAVE ACT ? Why haven't we defunded the Taliban yet? Why are bills passing the House and then disappear in the Senate? Why are the GOP still funding Left-wing NGOs that target and hate MAGA Republicans? Why are members of the GOP pushing for mass amnesty instead of mass deportations? People are waking up and they aren't happy about it. People believed they were voting for the Trump agenda. and instead, many feel like they're getting the same old Washington. If Republicans in Congress don't start producing tangible results, they're going to discover that frustration has consequences. And by the time they realize how deep-seeded that frustration is, it may already be too late."

The grievances Von Swol listed track with specific priorities from Trump's campaign and early second term. DOGE refers to the Department of Government Efficiency, the federal cost-cutting effort Trump created by executive order and initially led by Elon Musk. The SAVE Act is a Republican bill that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote, which passed the House in April 2025. And his complaint about bills that "pass the House and then disappear in the Senate" reflects the chamber's procedural math: Republicans hold 53 Senate seats, short of the 60 votes needed to advance most legislation over a filibuster.

The "midterm reckoning" he invoked points to the November 2026 elections, when all 435 House seats and roughly one-third of the Senate will be on the ballot. The president's party has lost House seats in most modern midterms — in 2018, during Trump's first term, Republicans lost their House majority as Democrats netted about 40 seats — though it has occasionally defied that pattern, most recently in 2002.

Trump reposted the message without adding any comment.
