Trump has promised to endorse Jake Paul if the controversial YouTuber-turned-boxer ever runs for office.
Trump made the remarks yesterday during a speech at a packaging facility in Kentucky, after being joined on stage by the influencer.
The president’s declaration of support followed a brief speech by Paul, who later posted a video of the pair hitting Trump’s now infamous YMCA dance.
Surly a Trump endorsement means political death nearly everywhere, no?
Maybe you haven’t checked the polls lately.
The president had an 83% approval among Republicans, a 3% approval among Democrats and a 28% approval among independent voters, as well as a 48% approval among men and 28% approval among women. The survey also found that 53% of voters oppose military action in Iran, 40% support it and 7% are undecided.

83% approval from his base. Crazy. The rich boomers LOVE war.
Another poster made a great point that, however well Trump does and continues to do in polls of his base, that support isn’t necessarily transferrable to other candidates. And indeed, often it’s counter intuitively counter productive.
Sir, I hate to disappoint, but you’ve actually crossed into the timeline where politicians in the next decade will actually compete at how many babies they can eat at one sitting. The mask is off…
Buddy I can tell you haven’t been to the south recently

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to see more of these types of stories than the opposite.
Too many Trump aligned candidates seem to win, but I seem to see candidates lose when Trump vocally endorses them. To wit, Hershall Walker.
About 1/3rd of the US is still vehemently supporting Trump.
Don’t underestimate how massive (nor incredibly fucking stupid) the cult is.
Sure but we can backtest the power of the Trump endorsement, and even as early as 2018, it didn’t mean shit. Something thats been academically notable about Trump is how their ability to defy polling or elevate surprising candidates isn’t transferable. Trumps endorsement has never meant a sure thing, and right now? You’d be better off getting Harris’s endorsement.
This is a grift, I promise. There will be some stupid fucking crypto or something. He’ll lose. Then he’ll go work for OAN or some shit.
