Mike Lindell observes Donald Trump appearing exhausted on campaign trail

MyPillow CEO and Donald Trump ally Mike Lindell stated during a Zoom call with supporters that the president appeared “as tired as I’ve ever seen him.” Lindell noted that while he did not want to use the word “down,” Trump seemed visibly exhausted due to the continuous schedule of consecutive campaign rallies.

The observation comes as the 80-year-old president conducts a marathon campaign tour through various states, including Kansas, Alaska, and Texas, to support Republican candidates in competitive Senate races. Recent polling from Reuters/Ipsos indicates Trump is facing career-low approval ratings, with one report noting he is 54 points underwater among independent voters.

Trump’s recent campaign activities have also faced scrutiny, including his stance on Russian sanctions and his endorsement of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which has caused friction within his base. Additionally, some Republican figures, such as Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton, have suggested that recent large-scale campaign events may have negatively impacted Republican polling numbers.
