Trump’s downward trajectory

The worm is beginning to turn on President Trump.

His dishonest blathering notwithstanding, Trump never earned particularly strong support from American voters.

Though he frequently praises himself for winning the popular vote, Trump’s victory was thin by historical standards. Fewer than 50 percent of voters cast their ballots for him while his margin over Vice President Harris was less than 1.5 percentage points.

Only nine presidential elections in our history were won by lesser margins. Nineteen presidential elections yielded true landslide victories of 10 points or more. Trump’s advantage was nowhere close to that.

And he’s still not particularly popular. Using Gallup data, on average, going back to President Eisenhower, presidents earned approval from 60 percent of Americans in their first February. Trump’s February approval rating — 45 percent — is the lowest on record, except for his rating in February of his first term.

More important, the president’s approval rating is deteriorating. Days after his inauguration, the number approving of his performance was 8.5 points higher than those disapproving, according to the RealClearPolitics’ aggregation of all the polling. By Monday, that advantage had narrowed to just 1 point.

538.com, another aggregator using somewhat different methodology, posted nearly identical numbers — an 8.2-point approval margin just after Trump took office, which declined to 7/10ths of a point Monday.

Make no mistake, two things are true at the same time. A narrow plurality approves of Trump’s performance. But that plurality is shrinking as fewer voters approve and more disapprove.

A president’s approval rating is significant because it is one of the most important weapons he wields in political combat. A president’s political power is directly proportional to his approval rating. Members of Congress fear crossing a president with 70 percent approval and fear being seen with a president sporting a 30 percent approval rating.

Trump’s power will diminish less as his numbers fall because he remains extraordinarily popular with Republicans and, for several reasons, Republican legislators mostly don’t worry about general elections, only primaries against fellow Republicans.

He's such an incompetent executive.

I will never know what some see in him. They project what they want to see on him - he's more of an entertainer than an effective leader.

Fuck you asshole. You supported the assassination of your president so, fuck you!
 
How many of those were government jobs...?

Jobs are jobs.

The next jobs report will not be good, and the market keeps going down. Compared to 4 years of positive jobs reports, and a market that was breaking records.

What kind of argument can be made that Trump is a better President for the economy than Biden was?
 
A non-sequitur. Veterans can get other jobs, or are you saying they're incapable of doing that and dependent on the largesse of government for a job?
QED on not giving a shit. Nice job, Terry. Your turn to the Dark Side is complete; you've turned on your own fellow veterans. When it was just me, that was one thing, but when you diminish the lives and livelihood of thousands of vets, that's a new line of betrayal you've crossed. It's not just those vets who lost their jobs, but the tens of thousands of vets they won't be able to help.

It's really sad to see you sink so far into depravity, Terry.

Veterans flocked to government jobs. Now thousands are being fired.​

Many among the roughly 6,000 veterans who’ve been fired by the U.S. DOGE Service say they feel betrayed after serving their country.

I'm with Burkett on this

I wonder if this will be a brain drain and they will start leaving America?
 
Fuck you asshole. You support a draft-dodging,
Knowing what you do now, why would you have a problem with with anyone avoiding the draft of an immoral war where we were the bad guys?

adulterous
No question he was adulterous. Not that I excuse it but it’s irrelevant to the job. Clinton was far more adulterous but in the end not a bad president.
So was JFK.


pedophile
What evidence do you have that he was a pedophile?

We weren't the bad guys just because the Democrats fucked up handling the war.

Disagreed. It's a matter of integrity. I disliked Clinton the minute he stared America in the face and lied by saying "I didn't inhale". The other revelations about his dishonesty in avoiding the draft all the way through his perjury in the Paula Jones case. It was the revelations about his adulterous behavior that led to his mishandling of al-Qaeda due to Republican "wag the dog" accusations. It's easy to connect the dots that, because Clinton was an adulterer, that he failed to do his duty with al-Qaeda and, therefore, 9/11 happened.

Add to this that he took an oath when he married Hillary. He broke that oath. He took an oath as President and he broke that by protecting his political career over his duties as President. I hold Trump to the same standards as I do all of our elected reps. I'm not perfect, but then I'm not running for office. The Spider-Man rule applies: with great power comes great responsibility.

As for Pedo Don, multiple reasons including he prides himself on being a "ladies man" and hung out with pedos for two decades. That's enough to convince me he's a pedo.

Veterns can get other jobs? It is just that easy. We are in an economic downfall caused by Daffy Donald. Govt jobs are real jobs and they do real work. The idea is to broom as many as possible, then replace them with private working for Repubs. Never have enough money and power, do they?
 
We weren't the bad guys just because the Democrats fucked up handling the war.
Of course not. We were the bad guys because we invaded a sovereign country in the midst of a civil war under false pretenses. And we treated the Vietnamese peasants like animals.

There was a lot of blame to go around for 9/11. It was a series of failures on many levels. You can’t blame it solely on Clinton.

Irrelevant to his performance as president.

He took an oath as President and he broke that by protecting his political career over his duties as President.

By most measures he was pretty successful. Especially with the economy.
Besides how could one blame him? He was still virile enough to get a hard on and married to an ugly cold fish, if not a dyke. He (and HRC) both protected their political careers by not getting a divorce like any normal couple would under the same circumstances.

I hold Trump to the same standards as I do all of our elected reps.
I seriously doubt that sack of lard has had an erection for at least 15 years, Long before he became president.

I'm not perfect, but then I'm not running for office. The Spider-Man rule applies: with great power comes great responsibility.
Do you think JFK mishandled the Cuban missile crisis?


As for Pedo Don, multiple reasons including he prides himself on being a "ladies man" and hung out with pedos for two decades. That's enough to convince me he's a pedo.
What other pedos did he hang out with besides Epstein? Do you consider anybody that did to be pedos? E.g., bill gates? Clinton?
