Next: Trump asks FBI to discover who shit in his pants
I bet it's the same millionaire paying off the protestors! Elon will get him one day..
He knows he's tanking. This is just a way to distract the dumbass base that believes in flat earth and unicorns.
Anything that Trump doesn't like is either done by paid protesters or considered political acts.
But his cultists will accuse anyone else of being brainwashed.
What a weak, piece of shit, loser.
What a clown.
Please show some respect, that's not fair to clowns
Article says Trump believes he has a 99.9% approval rating on the border issues......
He is delusional
Trump has said pollsters that have shown his approval ratings sliding in recent weeks should be investigated for "election fraud."
He's going to run for a third term. That's what this means. Buckle up, y'all. We're in for yet another Constitutional crisis that the Democrats will do exactly nothing about.
There is A LOT of anti Trump activity going on. Don't ignore it.
The man attempted a coup and faced zero consequences for it. In fact, he was rewarded with a second term as president. Forgive me if I refuse to hold my breath for Democrats to do anything substantial to prevent him from wiping his ass with the Constitution.
What you aren't mentioning is all of the corruption of SCOTUS and the Republicans at the state level that facilitated his success. The Dems did A LOT to expose them... the American people believed the lies and the state governments went along with the coup.
Please explain to me why then the states did not just ignore Scotus, or use there constitutinaly, scotus garenteed rights to determine who the state electors vote for, and order that they could not vote for trump, a thing that is allowable without saying no to the court.
and before you say that a state cannot just ignore the supreme court, need I remind you that right now the president is, and we have had it done by county clerks refusing marage licences before.
The laws on the state and national side would prevent such action generally speaking. POTUS is breaking laws. That simple.
~~Examples~~? Nevermind
Strongly worded letters will be written, perhaps sent!
But not too strongly worded, that would just be rude, must maintain decorum.
Shhh don’t tell him let him figure it out for himself and then lie about it.
The call is coming from inside the house.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I understand that Trump might be confused about this. He isn't doing anything that he didn't specifically say he would do when he was asking for people's votes. They loved him before the election. They loved voting for him. I can understand why he might not believe that suddenly they don't like him. Somewhat the same for Musk except he started crashing back with the purchase of Twitter so he should have had time to understand that he was driving his fans away the further right-psycho he got.
One of the rhetorically effective things about his campaign messaging was how broad and vague it was. Pundits, podcasters, influencers, and those manipulating the algorithms of social media, took that messaging, isolated parts of it and recontextualized those parts for specific audiences.
So while he may have assumed he was being very clear about what he was going to do, the messaging many of his voters got was totally detached from his intentions.
A good example of this is people who thought that the tariffs would somehow be a tax levied on foreign countries, not a sales tax on imported goods. Or those who thought the tariffs would be targeted at specific goods categories to benefit their particular industry, not a blanket tariff that impacts their upstream supply chain.
He told his subordinate on the campaign to get voters to vote for him, he assumed that meant convince them he was right, but that was impossible, the only ones that could get him the numbers he liked were the ones who just twisted what he said till people agreed with it.
He isn’t doing anything that he didn’t specifically say he would do when he was asking for people’s votes. They loved him before the election. They loved voting for him. I can understand why he might not believe that suddenly they don’t like him.
This is what happens when you steal an election
The data behind that conclusion is compelling to those who understand both statistics and technology. Most of the US Congress has repeatedly shown that they have neither the capacity nor the inclination to understand either.
Yeah he is not wounded no he is very not immature and broken sad excuse for a person that has zero insecurities
Whiny bitch doesn't understand no one likes him
I think he does understand and is bitter Bobby, for it. A long time ago, I read an article that said he'd tried to elbow his way into Palm Beach society and was rebuffed as a loud, obnoxious, vulgar buffoon, came back when he had more money, bought Mar-a-Lago and was this time accepted. Not because of grace, social skills or any redeeming quality but money, meaning he probably very well understands he would have no friends, no loyalty, if he hadn't the means to buy these things, while failing to understand he isn't bright, funny, or valuable as anything other than a pawn. And he's probably very lonely -- money is a cold mistress, and fickle, too. I think he very well understands the consequences of slipping from money, power and usefulness, which is exactly why he fights so hard to keep these things. It isn't because he overvalues himself, but because he very much undervalues himself, thereby placing emphasis and desperate hope on the public, but very false image he's cultivated, with a lot of help from outside entities with much to gain from doing so. Otherwise he would be facing himself in the stark light of what way deep down, the subconscious knows - he's spent his time, money and energy on things everyone has told him_should_ make him happy, and absolutely nothing on what could make him happy, which is being a person he can live with, should distractions fade away.
Let's let the value judgement here be, do we really want the worst parts of ourselves leading us, individually or collectively? Because what we choose individually leads to the outcome.
We've got zionists running through the streets of New York assaulting people they perceive to be possibly arab, a mayor who is only there because trump pardoned him for his crimes, and trump, who "demands" the polls show him whatever he wants to see. It just gets crazier, stupider, and more corrupt every day, and we are only 2/48ths of the way to trump being out of office, assuming he leaves peacefully. He needs to be impeached.
The only way trump is ever leaving the office is by succumbing to his cheeseburger diet.
Either that or sudden onset excess orifices disease.

I looked for the link to The Onion. I think I audibly sighed when I didn't find it.
You didn't eat the onion, you regurgitated one

BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHHHHAAHAHAHHAH! heh.
President Donald Trump has said pollsters that have shown his approval ratings sliding in recent weeks should be investigated for "election fraud."
Responding to the polls, Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday: "They are negative criminals who apologize to their subscribers and readers after I win elections big, much bigger than their polls showed I would win, loose a lot of credibility, and then go on cheating and lying for the next cycle, only worse."
It's not an election, and I hurt myself reading that deeply moronic quote. How is this man in charge of anything?
"negative criminals", lol.
How is this man in charge of anything?

I have investigated. My conclusion is: Your low approval rating is because you are a toad.
My consultancy rate is very reasonable at three million dollars per second. You owe me nine million dollars. Sign here, please.
I don't think Trump ever developed a theory of mind when he was a child.
"Theory of Mind" is the developmental change where you realize that other people know things that you don't know, and you know things that other people don't know. It usually shows up before you turn five, kind of concurrent with a solid grasp on language. But I don't think he ever got it.
So he doesn't understand how people could know words that he doesn't know ("groceries"), he doesn't understand how people could understand the importance of things he doesn't understand the importance of (pretty much every government agency), he doesn't see any reason for social supports (because, see, he doesn't need them). And, paired with his obvious narcissism, since he loves himself, he is psychologically unable to conceive of the idea that other people could exist who don't love him.
Under this framework, he can never be wrong, because he literally knows all the things (the hurricane path map). He can never have done anything wrong, because he knows what's best. And he can never have broken any promises, because he knew what would happen and made the choice on purpose.
But he's also been around for long enough to prove all of that untrue, so he's had to carve out little exceptions for himself: specifically, that (1) everyone who doesn't like him isn't really a person, they're actually evil and bad and nobody likes them (because he doesn't); (2) everyone who knows something he doesn't is either keeping secrets or a super-genius, depending on whether he likes that thing or not; and (3) when his actions have negative consequences that actually affect him, it's because of one of those evil not-people plotting against him.
So, anyway, when you call Trump a toddler, you're actually giving him a few extra years of credit that he hasn't earned.
