Summary
Donald Trump’s approval rating among Hispanic Americans has dropped to 34%, tying its lowest point of his second term, according to a new Economist/YouGov poll.
This marks an 11-point drop from last week’s 45% approval. His overall approval stands at 47%, while a CNN poll found 56% of Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy.
The decline comes amid concerns over tariffs and a possible recession.
My brother in law and his wife are big Trumpsters. He’s a white man but:
I don’t follow them on Facebook because he was insufferable during the first Trump Presidency and ever since, but from what I hear from my wife he is bitching up an absolute storm while also insisting that Democrats were/are even worse.
The cognitive dissonance is nearing it’s inflection point and I’m just waiting. It hasn’t even been two months and, while this 4 years promises to be even longer than his first term (somehow) I’m not nearly as despondent. I’ve just embraced the fact that we’re all fucked and I’m enjoying watching them eagerly watching that iceberg they’ve steered into our path.
When this is all over, if it’s within my lifetime, I’ll be part of rebuilding the pieces and hopefully they will stay the fuck out of the way this time.
Oh yeah I’m also leaning a LOT harder into schadenfreude and gallows humor this time around.
I have a closet full of popcorn ready for when the SS checks bounce and 2 million boomers charge the rose garden to Gaddafi him.
I mean… I hope you’re right, but I think a lot of these guys (and it is almost all guys) are legit somewhat psychotic and would consider getting to fuck up and abuse “enemies” a form of pay.
You’re not wrong.
But you never, ever, EVER fuck with their real meal ticket.
Anything touches SS/Medicare, it’ll be like a nuke hits the oval office, they’re old, entitled and don’t give a fuck.
And that’s why eel-on-musk got his dipshit interns to install a backdoor to the Treasury Department
