He continued in a similar, ranty vein, “Don’t believe the Radical Left’s Fake Poll numbers. They are Crooked and Corrupt, just like the Country Destroying Dumocrats are Crooked and Corrupt. VOTE REPUBLICAN FOR GREATNESS IN AMERICA!”
Fresh data from CNN puts his approval at a meager 34 percent, matching his post-Jan. 6 trough, while a new AP-NORC poll has him tied at a post-2017 low of 33 percent. Quinnipiac paints an even grimmer picture, dropping him to a career low of 32 percent.
He’s been “fuming”, “exploding”, “blasting”, and “slamming” for several years now. Fuck mainstream media
Bullshit. He could care less. All it is is an indicator his misinformation etc is working just dandy.
Yeah, ‘tied with 2017’ and this is supposed to be news. The only news here is that 30% of the electorate remain idiots. I’m kind of dead curious to see what the world would have to look like for them to gain even the tiniest shred of awareness. Unfortunately, we might actually get the chance.
Daily beast is garbage.
Yeah. Every other headline is about how Trump MELTED, or CRASHED OUT, or left SHITTING IN HIS DIAPERS.
Wake me up when Trump is in jail or sleeping forever.
he gonna show us his concepts of a poll number any day now~
You mean his ideas about concepts of a poll number
loool, yeah, that one. missed his ideas all the time.
He’s way ahead of you and has already said that the polls are all fake.
only from the radical left…
Don’t believe the Radical Left’s Fake Poll numbers.
…from the radical left that’s fake.
there’s gotta be a radical-left’s-not-fake poll numbers.
There’s still people that approve of him?
Many. I haven’t seen any signs of his support waning where I live. Same signs, flags, bumper stickers, etc. Even the Trump 2028 crap. And if you read the comments on my local newspaper’s website, you’ll hear plenty from them.
His current obsession with the threat of “communism” really seems to be resonating with them.
80+ million of them. It reminds me of the George Carlin quote: “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
I hope that when he dies, he will know he was unloved his whole life. Especially the last 10 of them.
I can guarantee you that he won’t, because as a narcissist, his brain is utterly incapable of even forming such a thought.
Unless this results in a Democrat landslide so substantial that they sweep every Senate seat up for grabs and win huge in the House, I cannot see this being the end of Trump. It would need to be a more substantial result than this year’s Hungary Parliament elections which awarded Magyar a two-thirds majority that could undo the damage Viktor Orban did upon the state.
Donald has been impeached twice. Both impeachments failed because you need a two-thirds majority in the Senate to convict. A third impeachment will probably fail unless the scenario I outlined above does happen by some absolute fluke.
If anything, Trump is far more likely to be removed via the 25th Amendment. He’s 80 years old, showing worsening signs of dementia, and I can definitely see the cabinet trying to convince him to stand down and let Vance salvage their chances for 2028. That is unless Trump chooses to challenge their attempts to invoke the 25th Amendment, in which case it goes to Congress. A two-thirds majority will then be needed in both houses to remove Trump.
25th still requires ⅔ of each the House and Senate. It’s like impeachment, but with more steps.
unparalleled respect and success throughout the World
Uh… that’s one way to say it. Unparalleled.
Crazy that 34% still approve of him but I guess realistically it cant get that much lower considering 10% will always be contrarians and 20% is about amount of americans that actively want to destroy the American project. for context I’m not an american
Oh it finally moved from 40% to 35%? Amazing. Probably exclusively due to gas prices.
Only things that affect them personally. Not even their kids, as evidenced by their antivaxxer indulgence. Just them.
If you look back at Nixon’s numbers, even as he resigned in total disgrace, it will tell you a lot. The teaching of that history might lead one to believe it would be at or near zero approval, but that’s not the case.
I doubt that Americans are all that unique in this by the way. I bet every country has their base of anti-intellectuals who want to see others being hurt (esp. women, POC, gays) and to give the finger to people that know more than they do, have more education than they do, etc. - AKA, the group of people these dumbasses call “elites”.
If you look back at Nixon’s numbers, even as he resigned in total disgrace, it will tell you a lot.
Everything Nixon did was weak sauce compared to Trump. I don’t understand why Nixon was so vilified, his framework for healthcare was eventually adopted as Obamacare, he signed the SALT treaty with Russia, he opened up trade with China, he tailed off troops from Vietnam war supported by Kennedy and Johnson. He ended the draft (started by Johnson) , he started the EPA, he declared war on cancer, increased the NIH, increased CDC…no president increased this spending until Clinton.
Big fucking difference from Trump’s accomplishments, which in his second term are still zero. Literally cannot list one positive action from Trump.
He convinced the North Vietnamese to stay away from the Paris Peace Talks, so he could get elected (which LBJ called “treason”), then he allowed the war to go on for his entire term, so he could use it to get elected again - “Peace is at hand” and "Don’t change horses mid-stream - as if the president who was waging war for political purposes was interested in pursuing peace.
It only ended because we lost the war, Saigon was overrun, and America had to run for it, our worst, most humiliating military loss in history. Nixon never really wanted Peace.
58,000 young American soldiers died, most of them under Nixon’s watch, many of them drafted by the government out of their childhood bedrooms, to die in a tiny country halfway around the world, that posed no threat to America in any way, just so Nixon could get reelected. And do Watergate.
Any wonder why people wanted him gone?

The Vietnam war was started by John F. Kennedy and escalated through a huge number of corrupt military contracts benefitting Johnson’s cronies (search Brown and Root). The 58,000 who died were mostly drafted by Johnson, who initiated the draft. This was the Democrat’s war. But Lyndon Johnson somehow gets written as the hero and Nixon the villain. It was a 20 year war, and Nixon was only president for 5 years and he had a lot of shit to clean up, mostly tied to MIC corruption in Vietnam which killed a lot of American kids. Nixon ended the draft, he ended the war, not sure where your history is coming from, but Lemmy Democrats can be as bad as MAGA.
In the big picture 1950-2026, Nixon was not as bad a President as people want to believe.
Compared to trump, Jackson isn’t such a bad guy. But at the same time, it’s a tad rich to denigrate Lemmy Democrats in the same sentence you go full Nixon apologist.
Heres the deal: you can say history was too kind to nixon and quibble about all the tedious the details all you want - but only once you’ve spent a couple days traipsing around Siem Reap. I absolutely guarantee you’ll get over the urge to play this asinine “who was history’s biggest monster” bullshit and get on to something more productive, like joining me in drinking ourselves to death because nothing will ever get better.
I’m guessing it’s the cluster b folks
Wait, what? How did his approval rating shoot up to 34%? It was at 29% last time I checked… We need to get that percentage back down below 30!
Any number greater than zero is a clear symptom of a failed society and state.
The big question is how far will the non-senile members of his administration go to keep the midterms - and if the Democrats will actually impeach and remove if they do manage, in spite of themselves, to get the power to do so.
Bro they got a dead guy they’re pretending is alive, they’ll do anything.
Rule proposal: no putting Trump’s age near the front of the headline unless it’s the headline for which we’re all waiting.
I actually kind of like it. Nobody ever shut up about how old biden was even though his admin did all the work. Trump is a much worse – sorry, I mean “hands on” leader, so his age is even more relevant. When he acts like the petulant baby he is journalists should absolutely remind everyone that he’s a geriatric.
Could not agree more. I got so sick of the “biden so old” bullshit as if that was ever really a problem during his administration.
Biden was too old, Trump was too old. The average age of the house was 65 at one point. The entire government is too fucking old to care about the future of the country.
Then put it at the end, don’t get my hopes up for just a moment only to crush them once again!
The headlines we’re looking for are going to extrie-extrie news. TRUMP DEAD, US PRESIDENT DIES IN OFFICE, DING DONG DONALD IS GONE type shit.
Also let’s be real memes are the real celebrity obituary of our time.
My god seeing that the us president is 80 makes me fucking sick. I hate it here.
That’s the very least of my concerns. Dude could be 40 or 90 for all I care; the real problem is that he’s an incompetent asshole with malignant narcissism, and always has been.
I’m sure there is a reason Bret Easton Ellis had his characters in American Psycho constantly referencing and idolizing Donvict.
He hadn’t had a stroke so far, so the polls are still not bad enough.
Apart from that, how can a third of the country still not grasp what is happening?
A third of the country has been denied adequate education and services because the inequitable distribution of resources towards affluent urban versus poor rural areas.
Democrats have failed to significantly improve the material conditions in some of the poorest areas of the country, so a lot of rural voters feel betrayed and would rather go with the guy who is a outright greedy jerk, than the politician who talks out of the side of their mouth, while still obeying their corporate masters.
That’s not entirely true though. Biden got through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill that invested heavily in developing rural electric and internet. He also supported the USDA ReConnect Program, and several other initiatives. Many of these things that Democrats helped pushed through were celebrated as “wins” by Republican Representatives.
What were they expecting?
Edit". I will say that more investments should have been made in education, but I will always say that we don’t invest enough in education.

I can’t disagree with that.
And I also have to concede that a lot of rural voters have gotten entrenched into their ultra religious echo chambers, and anything that has to do with public education gets rejected as “woke agenda” to them. So they vote against their own interests.
The problem was created by lack of resources and now that the effects have firmly taken root, it’s hard to reverse course.
perhaps a president that would value justice and holding insurrectionists accountable more than decorum, or who could speak the people more than once a year and was not a grimacing mumbling speech, or for a president to understand he had record levels of unpopularity and was not suited to run again, letting the dems actually provide excitement and pick from a primary of candidates and not the regularly first dropped primary candidate in all her previous attempts
I won’t disagree with any of that. There’s many many things that could have been done better.
This is the real answer. Rural areas have been completely ignored other than subsidies for corporations and wealthy farmers. No funding for schools or hospitals or roads or infrastructure.
So they voted in a way that is counterproductive, that might make their lives worse. That seems silly until you remember their lives were already being made worse.
That third of the country is what the Republicans rely on, they’re their hardcore voting bloc. They will be for anything the Republicans do because “The Democrats are doing it but worse!” They believe that the reason Democrats don’t get in trouble so often is they’re better at hiding their horrendous acts instead of just not doing them. As well they’re generational voters, have voted Republican since Lincoln and never will change.
Apart from that, how can a third of the country still not grasp what is happening?
Denial and/or propaganda.
