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.”

      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.

      Someone should start telling him no one has visited the titanic and he could be the first.

          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.
