Key Points:
- On this day in 2018, George Soros became the first of 16 prominent progressives and media organizations to receive pipe bombs in the mail, with Trump supporter Cesar Sayoc later arrested and jailed for the attacks.
- President Donald Trump has recently been fixated on praising Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted's physique, particularly his "ass," repeatedly mentioning it at rallies and speeches even outside Ohio.
- Trump reportedly enjoys the strong audience reactions to his unusual focus on Husted's body, using it as a rallying point to energize supporters during the critical final weeks of the 2026 midterm elections.
- Despite the oddity of the subject matter, Trump has incorporated detailed and repeated compliments about Husted's muscular build into his speeches in multiple states, suggesting a strategic or symbolic reason behind this unusual focus.
