Despite the aforementioned beliefs, Trump did go on to defeat Hillary Clinton and become president of the United States. Since his presidency, Trump has held several rallies, particularly in the midterm election season. During each of the president’s most recent rallies, he has urged his supporters to vote for Republican candidates in the upcoming elections.

Despite President Trump’s high approval rating in the Republican Party, he does face some criticism from various conservatives and Republicans.
