Summary
A Fox News host, Jessica Tarlov, highlighted Trump’s declining approval ratings, citing a new Quinnipiac poll showing 53% of voters disapprove of his second-term performance.
Trump is “underwater on everything” including economy, federal workforce management, Ukraine-Russia policy, and trade relations with Mexico and Canada.
The polling slide comes amid stock market tumbles, federal worker layoffs, and trade tensions.
Tarlov noted that Republican members of Congress are facing hostile town halls where constituents are challenging them on federal workforce cuts, including at the VA. Some Republicans have dismissed these angry constituents as “paid actors.”
He has a positive approval rating in both houses of congress and the Supreme Court.
Also among mentally unstable billionaires.
Which is all that matters in reality.
When the UK last had a moron setting everything on fire she was outlasted by a lettuce.
Americans need to up their game.
Sadly the US system is not designed to oust the president that easily. It would be a first if Trump was removed from office due to the impeachment process, removing the prime minister is a much lower bar.
Impeachment should theoretically work but when the system was put in place it didn’t account for an entire political party turning fascist
It actually did, the south was entirely fascist for it’s entire existence, they literally designed the system so the south could always veto the rest of the country combined no matter what, hence the 3/5 compromise giving them power in the house and the structure of the senate.
Impeachment should and still would work, my point was its a higher threshold than most processes to replace the PM in the UK.
Sadly there isn’t any equivalent to a non-confidence vote in US politics.
You suggesting a cabbage?
How strong is your cabbage game?
I mean none of this matters he was popular on one night and that is all that counts.
He’s not underwater where it really matters, physically.
Right? Now do his head.
Needs more rocks in the socks
Am I the only one who thinks 53% of people disapproving of his performance is actually a pretty good record for him. This number should be in the 90’s.
You have to take into account that at least 30% of the total are likely “Trump is sent by God and is devinely inspired and therefore can do no wrong” crowd. So when his disapproval number hits 70% that’s as high as it’ll go.
Except I thought he was only elected by 31% of the public and at least a small portion of them are turning against him too. Remember a lot of people didn’t vote.
I think if you give it a month or two that number is going to change significantly. Most people haven’t really started to feel/see the consequences of his actions yet, and there is a bit of a lag.
This is very optimistic for the devotion behind a cult. People are already used to sacrificing for an oligarch.
I hope you’re right and it ends this whole shit show.
Hell must be freezing right now with FoxNews even calling out Trump. With tumbling stock market, I did not think that “voting with your wallet” actually works.
I am more curious as to what will Democrats do next in light of Trump admin’s first hundred and more gaffes. Will the Democrats learn from their mistakes and reform? Or will they exploit Trump’s gaffes like during Covid, but learn nothing and the Republicans will field someone worse for the next election (assuming there will be a next election)? Or, at worse, will Democrats continue to enable Trump like they are now with Chuck Schumer?
On the one hand, I support a politician who does the right things despite public opinion. Fuck approval ratings. On the other hand, how can a single person be wrong about fucking everything? Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
He stopped penny minting. I’m sure he accidentally did one other good thing for the adage to be true
He destroyed the American Empire too, but that feels like giving Hitler credit for shooting Hitler.
But he did it in the worst possible way, with massive avoidable collateral damage.
No he didn’t. The worst possible way would be to drag the rest of the western world into fascism with him, which he could’ve done if he’d just spaced out his horrible actions and used a bit of bureaucrat-speak to hide the full impact of what he was doing. Instead, the rest of the democratic world is forming a new economic and diplomatic structure that leaves America out.
There’s a difference between being a populist and actually representing your constituents, which is after all the job they’re paid to do.
Not if it’s digital.
‘He’s underwater on everything’ - except the one way that matters the most.
I’ll take “Things you can’t say on Reddit” for 200
But seriously, even if he was sleeping with the fish the r’s are still a huge a problem. He’s just the front guy, he’ll be replaced with another clown.
Sadly, yes. I mean, Trump knows he’s ‘close’ to his grave and needs to leave some kind of legacy - even if it’s the Hitler kind of one - his narcissistic self just wants to enter them history books as one of the big humans instead of ‘another rich guy’ as a footnote.
Pretty sure either Elon or Vance are already lined up for when the time comes. When Trump leaves the world, and when there’s no longer actual rules preventing them from taking over and ‘fixing’ under martial law what big bad orange wrecked. At least according to them, that is.
No matter how bad what they’re doing seems this is just the preparation stage. Things can become so, so much worse, and the more we let them consolidate power the tougher it’ll be to fight it later.
I am hoping that if there is a civil war, all of Yarvin’s Cabal are killed or executed. They are traitors to humanity as a whole.
I’m pretty sure his approval rating in Kremlin is soaring.
Someone should start telling him no one has visited the titanic and he could be the first.
Call OceanGate. They can provide the submarine. They have the EXACT experience we need.
The problem with Trump is that he has literally no redeeming qualities. So getting him to go see the titanic would be hard given it would take him having some curiosity about something other than himself.
Tell him there will be a nuclear submarine parade.
He just bought a Tesla, and with any luck that’ll drown him like it did Angela Chao, the billionaire magnate whose brother in law is Mitch McConnell.
Angela Chao: Shipping billionaire intoxicated when she drowned in Tesla, police report shows - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68622898
The American taxpayers just bought a Tesla, you mean. Cheeto will never set foot in that, and he sure as hell didn’t pay for it himself.
I’ll never understand how investigations weren’t launched over that shit
Maybe they’re concerned they’d find out the information she killed herself over.
Corruption…?
His nose is still above water?
Entire head I’d say.
People when the world’s most illiterate celebrity does all of the dumb, racist shit he says he is going to do:
I wonder - what is the actual audience for approval rating polls?
The folks most affected by high prices or mass layoffs are probably struggling too much to have the time or inclination. Around 30% of the country didn’t even show up for the election, they probably won’t show up for these.
Who does that leave us with? Can we really assume that ‘47% approval’ translates to ‘47% of all Americans approve’?
It’s not actually a two answer only poll, you can view it HERE
In Quinnipiac University’s February 19 poll, 45 percent approved, while 49 percent disapproved and 6 percent did not offer an opinion and in Quinnipiac University’s January 29 poll, 46 percent approved, while 43 percent disapproved and 11 percent did not offer an opinion.
In today’s [March 13th] poll, Republicans (89 - 9 percent) approve of the job Trump is doing, while Democrats (96 - 2 percent) and independents (58 - 36 percent) disapprove.
EDIT: Formatting error
Placing him at a roughly 30% approval overall, innit?
Only if you assume equal representation of each group in the poll. 42% approve 6% no comment 53% dissapprove total with a very clear partisan split.
His next plan will be to start a war
Invading panama
Or Greenland, or Canada, or Mexico… Truly a winning strategy to threaten everyone all at once. 🙄
Oh for sure, but he’s said to draw up plans to get Panama. So right now that’s the most “real” one
My money is on Mexico, he has been placing brigades with Strykers and whatnot on that border. Whatever the case, still stupid and evil.
Shit. I hope those extra soldiers on the border that Mexico sent are enough deterrent
So this greentext might actually come true?
with his fucking cottage cheese brain he’ll demand plans for invading Panama and then immediately invade Brazil
I don’t see him starting a war without complete control of the military. While they are working on it, firing leadership, changing rules and policies, the military still has the power to say no to Trump, which is bad TV. Trump is also a bitch as seen by the wishy-washy way he approaches tariffs, he hates actual action because he just wants good TV and bad policy makes for bad TV.
“What Fox just reported is illegal.”
– DJTSoon to be former Fox news host Jessica Taylov.
What’s absolutely crazy is he just signed an EO to get rid of USAGM…
For those who don’t know, that’s basically the propaganda arm of the US government and has been for a very long time.
This is probably the most surprising thing so far for me, I really thought he’d expand that to do more work domestically to counteract all the bad press and approval loss his actions are resulting in.
Like, I get why Putin doesn’t want the rest of the world to like us, but it’s just crazy they’re getting rid of USAGM instead of just changing the propaganda it spreads.
Actually kind of relieved to see it shut down, this is a weird morning.
he’s very dumb
Genuinely, though, it is hard to gauge at times which actions are:
- Genuinely malicious plans to increase his and his cronies’ wealth
- Confused, because Elon or Trump were in a specific mood that particular day
- Some actor behind the scenes manipulating them by taking advantage of their impulsivity
- The genuine incompetence of the newly appointed loyalists (or the algorithms/AI they use) within the new deep state
- Genuinely ideologically motivated stupidity, from Libertarians that drank their own cool-aid within the administration.
It is genuine chaos. But overall, the effects are pretty disastrous, no matter what exactly causes which actions.
It’s narcissism all the way down. His sole motivation for anything is ego stroking. He lacks self esteem and the ability to value himself. His self worth only exists in validation from others.
Chaos is a ladder for oligarchs.
Sounds like Elon is eliminating competition to his propaganda machine.
Shutting it down is harder to reverse under another president (god-willing).
This is like why putin put the bug in his ear about tariffs, it divides the west, leaving a regional power like Russia free to consolidate power everywhere.
Remember, Wagner is very powerful in Africa, where the voa and its siblings are most active.
I’m looking at Trump as a Russian agent who was assigned to dismantle the US government. Everything he does makes sense when you look at it that way. And it’s horrifying.
Is it crazy when they can just use companies like TruthSocial and Twitter?
Get rid of all branches and implement your own with your own swamp creatures.
I see your point, and assume the logic (if there is any) is: Why bother when Fox and Newsmax do it for profit?
How long before Trump wants her fired?
For a fascist disapproval of a slim majority definitely isn’t “underwater” just a “minor inconvenience”.
