    War on all Americans? Trump won the election and has good approval ratings.

        The guy you are talking to has an account less than a day old and all he’s done is suck orange nazi cock. If they are even a human then they are too stupid and arrogant to understand or accept any argument. No point in arguing or even talking to them.

        Blaming Trump for high egg prices 10 days after inauguration is not going to be a winning argument for the Democrats.

      That doesn’t mean that what he’s doing is good for Americans, it just means Americans don’t understand the consequences or don’t care.

        I have seen a lot of comments these days that voters are stupid, or something equivalent. I suppose that is all the Democrats got at this point.

          American voters are stupid, that’s what conservative politicians have been working towards with 50 years of education budget cuts.

          But there are way, way more comments, posts, and articles about how he’s reneged on his promises & will continue to hurt people for the sake of hurting people… In the face of authoritarianism, you’re worried about decorum?

            Based on his current approval rating, he is doing what he promised to do, which won him the election.

              This is the most garbage logic. His approval rating does not directly equate to fulfilling promises. There can be cause and effect, but it’s not guaranteed especially when there’s so many factors that impact approval rating.

              Presidents get a post election bump. It has nothing to do with fuffiling policy promises. Hell, the bump began before he took office, so obviously it has little to do with him fulfilling promises. Trump had a bump his first term too. But guess what. Literally every other president, including Biden, had a better overall approval rating at the beginning of a term than trump ever has. Time will tell where his approval lands.

                There is never going to be a perfect metric on fulfilling campaign promises. The approval rating is a very good metric for that. Did someone said this is perfect metric?

                Trump was acting more like the sitting president than Biden between election and inauguration. Of course that can result in a bump. For example, the Israel Hamas ceasefire. Trump was critical in getting that deal done even though he was not a sitting president at the time.

                Your logic was very bad.

                  I didn’t say it wasn’t even and imperfect metric. I’m saying that its almost no metric. Perhaps even evidence of poor performance to be honest. Because the approval bump is a repeatable and measurable phenomenon we observe after every election that has 0 to do with presidential policy or action. And his post election approval bump is the second worst in history, only below his own poor approval bump from his first term.

                  Information is relative to the environment and circumstances. Is doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

                    First of all, to say approval rating has zero to do with action, I disagree completely. That is just ridiculous.

                    Second, Trump starts his second term. I don’t think an election bump in second term is typically that significant if anything. Bush Jr’s second term approval at realclearpoltics was at around +5, and that is in line with what Trump is getting right now. There wasn’t much of a post election bump for Bush Jr.

      What approval ratings are you looking at, last I checked he’d managed to go lower than Biden.

      Good approval ratings with who? From what I’ve seen his approval ratings with Americans are almost as terrible as they were last time.
