    The man tried to overthrow the legitimate government of the USA and Americans still elected him into office. Approval rating doesn’t mean shit.

        Which just means they stood there and watched as 1/3rd elected him into office. Just because they didn’t vote doesn’t mean they aren’t responsible. It’s like three people sitting in a train, one trying to keep it on the tracks, one trying to steer it off the tracks and the third guy just watching like he’s not on the same train as the other two.

    That’s cool that some people are (finally) figuring out what a total clown Orange Jesus is, but…did Hitler’s poll numbers really mattered after he seized power?

    He thinks swing states will see him punish blue states, and that will motivate them to go Republican so they’re not targeted…

    Instead of the rational response from anyone with a shred of empathy: stopping maga from doing it again by voting blue

    Everything trump is doing is setting up a progressive Dem to win in a landslide, and neo liberals lost their death grip on the DNC, so there’s nothing to stop a progressive in the primary either.

      We did that with Biden. Good thing he took his responsibility seriously and went after Trump for attempting to overthrow the government. Whoops, I guess he forgot that part of the plan.

      Well, what I heard is that Trump’s supporter base is strengthening and growing. What if this news is biased, and the reality is even more grim? You know that people are beyond dumb.

        I don’t understand what you’re saying…

        You saw something somewhere that goes against every other coverage on this, and you know it’s biased but youre still thinking it’s true?

        Then you say people are “beyond dumb”…

        I legitimately have no idea what you’re trying to say

    Pretty sure the election was stolen and all those swing states anyway. It’s statistically improbable that he won all seven swing states. Not to mention the election tampering, Starlink, etc.

      People have the memory of a goldfish. In 2028, the democratic candidate is going to have some obscure flaw that’ll be pushed to every media station and social network that caters to the party that punishes opponents, and most Americans will forget the past 4 years and focus on this one flaw.

      That’s what all the labeling of groups as terrorists is for, along with the troop deployment to cities. They are going to try to effectively declare war on terrorism in various cities and states and use that war to suspend elections.

    I wish I had any confidence polls meant anything to him or the GOP.

    Trump is saying we are “at war” eith our own cities, cartels, and probably Venezuala sooner or later. And if we are “at war” no way to have elections right guys? I mean Ukraine did it so he can too.

    There’s probably not a single president that cared about approval ratings in their second term. Regardless of what they may think about a particular candidate at this point between elections, they will vote according to their needs on election Day

    I dont know why this is relevant. Either he prevented from running, in which case this doesnt matter; OR he IS running in violation of the law, in which case this doesnt batter because if he is willing to break an established precent and law then he would not leave his third term open to chance by having free or fair elections.

      Maybe seeing the winds change can help the chickenshit congress find their spine and make the 25th ammendment happen?

    Most Americans only care about themselves and their cost of living. It’s going up with him in office so they’ll likely swing their vote the other way yet again.
