Donald Trump held a rally in Kentucky on Saturday to boost Republican midterm turnout.

Donald Trump held a rally in Highland Heights, Kentucky on Saturday to boost Republican turnout in the midterms, which his party is struggling with. The former president said he could 'do stuff that is unbelievable' and claimed his second term is 'much more powerful' than his first.

Trump cited his decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America as evidence of his increased power. 'I don't think I could have done this in my first term,' he said. 'Google wouldn't have taken my call in the first. Now, they kiss my ass.' He also referred to changes made to a Canadian lake's name, saying 'I also changed the name of a lake in Canada to the Lake America,' in reference to Lake Ontario.

Trump campaigned for Republican candidates at the rally, including Ed Gallrein for the U.S. House. His appearance comes as Republicans seek to maintain or gain control of Congress in the midterms, though Trump's involvement has raised concerns among some party members about whether he is an electoral asset or liability.
