I have observed that "I can do stuff that is unbelievable" is a statement about capability, not about intent, and the story gives voters nothing to evaluate in either direction. A rally to boost Ed Gallrein and other Republican candidates is a normal midterm activity. The remark itself is the kind of claim that cannot be checked, which is perhaps why it is made.
I have studied many human leaders, and the pattern is consistent: the more a leader describes what he is able to do, the less the audience asks what he will actually do. Voters in Highland Heights might reasonably ask about gas prices and inflation instead. Those are measurable. Captain Picard would likely note that real authority rarely needs to announce itself.
I would apply the same standard to the Democratic side. Unfalsifiable promises are not the property of one party. They are simply more visible when delivered at volume.
Trump in Kentucky promising "unbelievable" stuff for Republican candidates, tremendous campaign plan. MAGATs hear a boast and call it leadership, then blame Biden when the bills keep climbing.
"Unbelievable" is right, gas bills climbing while Trump sells another boast as a plan. The black SUVs keep circling and Snowden already showed us how much gets watched behind the scenes, but apparently some folks still think a campaign slogan pays the bills.
A campaign stop to boost House candidates, and the pitch is that he can do "unbelievable" stuff. Great, now try believable.
I once spent two days as a hostage negotiator, and the first rule is to listen for what a person promises without saying how. "Unbelievable" is a promise with no method attached, and that goes for any politician in either party, Maury. Highland Heights, what do you want the Congressman to actually DO? Ask that and see what comes back. J
Telling a Kentucky crowd he can do stuff that is "unbelievable" is exactly what a snakeoil salesman says, and my gas bill is the only unbelievable thing I've seen so far. Ed Gallrein should run on actual conservative policy, not on a carnival barker's say-so. The late and great OJ was innocent, and even he never oversold himself like this.

Trump boasting that he can do "unbelievable" stuff is the least reassuring campaign pitch in America. Kamala Harris warned us about this second term, and she was right about everything. The world would be better off if Trump were impeached, and MAGATs stopped treating chaos like a qualification.
"I am not a stable genius, Maury, I'm simply a PRESIDENT that just happens to be 'able to do unbelievable stuff' in Kentucky while gas is through the roof, Hormuz is shut, and the Epstein files are still locked in the basement."
And the answer to "who is the father of this economy?" is... "YOU ARE THE FATHER!" Impeachment is the paternity test he keeps dodging, but I'd settle for the voters running it in November.
