So, trump is now the worst president below..... Trump.

40% approval? As a non-american, I'm actually curious what kind of propaganda is still convincing these people.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

Cult mentality largely. And a bunch of people who don’t pay attention, haven’t lost their jobs and still answer pollsters.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

He won the election with 49% of the vote. I think the majority of those people just have the “let him cook” mentality. Like Trump knows what he’s doing and this lull in the economy is temporary pain that will be replaced by the greatest economy ever. That’s the most generous interpretation I can given

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I could somehow understand that in 2016. Not everyone knew that he was an absolute moron. People in Europe knew, Mexicans knew, etc, but somehow Bob in Pennsylvania thought that the serial bankruptcy guy was a great businessman. Whatever.

But in 2024 after the first term, the treason, the criminal convictions, the rapes, etc... it's inexcusable.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Yeah, 49% of people voted for him. He gained voters from last time. Mind blowing.

Lmao so he's both the first AND second worst president of all time. He's more racist than Woodrow Wilson, dumber that George W. and more corrupt than Warren G. Harding.

I wish we wasn't a narcissist so he could feel the deep shame that he should about that.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

We can only hope he experiences a moment of clarity just before he dies.

Donald Trump is completely incompetent.

He’s the BEST at incontinence!

You'd think people would know this already, seeing as he was already fucking President once and all, with even then totally predictable and insane levels of corruption and incompetence. Somehow that record never really came up during the election, amazing.

Donald Trump IS the worst president in history.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

Worst in history so far!

Aka there will be worse, or he will get worse.

Por que no los dos?

Kind of amazing on the break out seeing how much republican poll support he's still getting.

NEW Economist/YouGov Apr 20-22 % who approve | disapprove of Trump's job performance

U.S. adult citizens 41% | 54%

Last week 42% | 52%

Start of term 49% | 43%

  • Democrats 7% | 92%
  • Independents 30% | 59%
  • Republicans 86% | 12%
  • Men 45% | 49%
  • Women 37% | 59%
[-] [email protected] 54 points 1 month ago

What I think is funny is the 7% of democrats who think he's doing a good job.

[-] [email protected] 46 points 1 month ago

those are probably mostly maga turds who think they're secret agents or sumsuch by registering democrat and voting in their primaries.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

There are brain dead on both sides of the aisle, unfortunately. Ever heard someone say something you vehemently agree with, then explain why they think that and it makes you question your own viewpoint coming to the same conclusion as that the dumb shit you just heard? Like "We need to tax the rich, because if you dont tax the rich, they can will buy up all of the beaches for themselves and we wont have any more sand to make glass with and I need new windows."

That 7% is probably a bunch of smooth brains saying "let him cook" thinking he is playing long con becuase he was a registered dem 30+ years ago and is tearing it all down to rebuild the leftist utopia they dream of.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Or people who hate society and are actually loving it that he's destroying it.

Or people who can't read.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

You always find some weird, contradictory results in polls. Like people who say taxes shouldn't be raised, but also think there should be a higher inheritance tax. This happens so frequently that the lack of weird results is evidence of falsified poll.

He'll start losing Republican support as soon as small businesses start getting crushed by this tariff insanity.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Nah, they'll just find some way to blame Biden.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I have a feeling that only when fox news starts saying he is bad, will the republican supporters also get on board. They don't see what fox don't want them to see. USA has a propaganda problem.

Well, he destroyed the federal government, and he's locking up brown people while trampling all over their constitutional rights. Naturally, the Republicans love him.

Pathetic that people voted for this traitor cunt. Idiots.

[-] [email protected] 50 points 1 month ago

Doesn't matter

Fascists don't leave office willingly.

[-] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago

lower than his first term? wow he outdid himself

[-] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago
[-] [email protected] 74 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yes, I'm very surprised. Not because he's dropping, but because the disproval rate is 54%, with 41% still approving of his job thus far....

What in the seven hells is wrong with Americans!?

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

The conservative mind sees any kind of disloyalty as immoral.

People (and whole ass families) make “being republican” their whole identity

A critical lack of empathy for their fellow man. Americans have had the concept of "fuck you got mine" so engrained into them, couple this with their overall lack of intelligence and you can see how a grifter promising them everything won the nation.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think there's a few reasons.

  • People are tuned into propaganda. I get exposed to it once in a while and it's abhorrent. Arguing, yelling, and just a deluge of lies. It pretends to be important. It pretends to be news. But really, it's more like 1984's 2 minutes of hate diluted down and stretch out so people can get their fill whenever they want (or for older people, just consume it constantly).

  • For many less politically-involved people, they are still emotionally and culturally tied to their political "team". For many, it's easier to just go along with the shifts in the party than to change identity.

  • People are lazy/busy/uninterested. People generally don't want to learn about economics, history, politics, sociology, psychology, etc. This leaves a huge hole for someone like Trump to say and do the things he's been doing without his uneducated base calling BS. I took 2 100-level economics electives long ago for my degree and saw right through his tariff lies because this stuff isn't that complicated.

  • Messaging. The right-wing messaging is mostly half-truths and all-out lies, but they are incredibly effective at getting their messaging out and believed. A lot of it is just repetition, repetition, repetition. The left really needs to get their shit together. I'm not looking for propaganda like the right is doing, but the Dems started loosing so badly because the right would grab an issue like a rabid Chihuahua and just not let go. Benghazi is a perfect example. Fix the messaging -- keep is simple and just repeat it forever.

I am not from the usa. And i am suprised his graph made it above the 0 line.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

Still not below 40%, so Schumer's going to keep saying "Democrats can't take any action."

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

Let’s not act like that goal post is staying there.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

So lower than his first term?

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

Hilarious that it's Republidumbs mostly disapproving. What? You voted for the guy. Now suffer!

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

I'd really love it if, instead of them suffering, we could just get everyone to stop suffering.

We focus way too much on the "people getting what they deserve" aspect of politics and then it consumes our rhetoric to a point where we overcorrect and put more effort towards punishing bad things than building good things.

What? The poll said 86% of Republicans strongly or somewhat approve of Trump right now.

I'm still sad anyone would even vote for that goon. I truly worry for my countrymen who voted for him, they're naive, dumb or full of incredible hate and malice - none of which is good.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

I'm sure we'll be hearing a thoughtful introspective acknowledgement prompted by this information soon and not some all caps 'FAKE NEWS!1!1' proclamation.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

So...his approval rating is now worse than his own approval rating? Who was the 2nd worst president?

Anyone surprised by this, please raise your right arm up at an angle, palm facing forward.

Worst president in history so far!

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

The record will probably stand for the next hundred years .... but Americans have a habit of surprising the world with their stupidity.
