WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump plans to visit six states over the next 10 days to energize his supporters to turn out for Republicans in tight races for the House of Representatives in upcoming congressional elections, according to a White House memo.

Trump’s Republican Party is at risk of losing control of the House in the Nov. 6 midterm vote at a time when, historically, the party in control of the White House loses ground in Congress.

Trump heads on Thursday to Minnesota where Republicans want to give a boost to two House candidates: one in an open race and another, a first-term incumbent, who is running in a Democratic-leaning district.

He then plans to visit Kansas on Saturday, Iowa on Tuesday, Pennsylvania on Wednesday, Ohio on Friday and Kentucky on Saturday, Oct. 13, according to the internal memo seen by Reuters.

He hates being stuck in the White House, which is why he runs to Mar-A-Lago every weekend he can. He hates being president, but he loved running for president because it was nothing but campaign stops and adoring fans 24/7. He'd much rather be doing this than actually being the president.

He’s gets more unhinged at each one saying cray cray stuff. Attacking Dr. Ford will not win him converts. These rallies are for his ego and nothing else because he knows the truth is coming out and he needs those brainwashed cretins to give him adoration. And everyone he gives only gets our side more riled up to vote against the repukes in November.

So instead of being here to celebrate the end of hostilities in Europe where are men were battling on the 100th Annv. Trump will be standing over Frances WWI unknown. I just got home from 10 days there they aren't really happy about Trump. In Belgium too....
