He's also a felon.

And pedophile.

Adult rapist too.

Don't forget that he wants to fuck his daughter, and probably already has.

That 1000 yard stare of her talking about her old bedroom is haunting.

The damage to Trump’s approval ratings traces to “about a week into the war when markets started to freak out over the likelihood of a prolonged disruption to oil shipments in the Persian Gulf,” wrote Silver, sharing a graph from GasBuddy data.

The gas prices are now well above any other point in Trump’s second term so far — or the last few months of the 2024 election cycle, which was heavily influenced by voters’ concerns about inflation and other economic issues:

Gas prices are likely to a sore point for a president who an election largely on inflation. In 2024, 40 percent of voters in the exit poll said that “high prices for gas, groceries and other goods” was the single most important factor deciding their vote, and they broke 2:1 for Trump. It would be hard to pick a more visible indicator of affordability.

Silver doesn't discuss it, but normally, presidents also "prep" the public for a conflict --- explain why it's necessary and such, and Trump has broken from the norm on that.

He thought it would be as easy as Venezuela. They just pop up, kill the Ayatollah and replace it with another person (doesn't matter it makes no sense)

In reality he installed Aya-TOLL-ah, lifted sanctions on Iran, turned US bases in Middle East from assets to liabilities and ensured that now Iran will definitively get nuclear weapons.

Also, Iran now earns about double on their sanction skirting oil exports, Trump is basically funding the Iran regime.

And, the strait of hormuz is so fortified that the US navy can't move into it, since ships might get sunk.

explain why it’s necessary and such

Oh? I'm supposed to explain why I'm killing the puppy?
-Trump and the entire US government.

NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 150d (5 replies)

It's not like he can say it's to distract from the Epstein files and try to declare the midterm elections cancelled due to the war.

Buffalox@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 150d (4 replies)

Yes I think the problem is identified right there.

Does Trump have a Boxing Helena fetish?

notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 150d

Silver doesn't discuss it, but normally, presidents also "prep" the public for a conflict --- explain why it's necessary and such, and Trump has broken from the norm on that.

He doesn’t believe he has to explain himself to anyone, and besides is he actually capable? The man can’t stay on topic or keep from talking about himself to save his life. In his mind, he does anything he wants and the rest of us just deal with it.

Have you seen these curtains? It's Corinthian gold.

Never trust a stats guy who's a degenerate gambler. Fuck Trump, but also Fuck Nate Silver.

dhork@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 150d (1 reply)

This President has profound problems, and his polls are also low....

electrotabby@piefed.social · 2 pts · 149d

I thought he ordered them to stop polling presidential approval?

resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 150d (1 reply)

I thought we weren’t allowed to criticize Donald after Joe pardoned Hunter, Nate.

orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 22 pts · 150d

Yeah. Fuck Nate Silver. That asshole is responsible for a lot of bullshit and chaos in the 2012 and 2016 elections. Piece of trash.

Krono@lemmy.today · 19 pts · 150d (2 replies)

Nate Bronze keeps falling lower. He started as a serious data analyst, now he's writing clickbait articles, desperate for attention.

I guess Harry Enten was the real star at FiveThirtyEight. Holy toledo.

Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 149d

Nate worked best with a team of people to keep him in check. Harry and Claire did some serious work at fivethirtyeight.

P00ptart@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 149d

Also, every other polling service has his numbers lower.

tomiant@piefed.social · 18 pts · 150d

‘Trump Has Profound Problems' sums it up pretty well for his whole life.

teawrecks@sopuli.xyz · 16 pts · 149d (2 replies)

What's hilarious is, he didn't even leave room for himself to play the "but the president doesn't really have control over the price of gas (unless it's Biden)" card, because every single person in the world knows damn well why gas prices are up.

qc_butter1@infosec.pub · 7 pts · 149d

Unfortunately they don't... The conservatives I know in California are blaming Governor Newsome.

hanrahan@slrpnk.net · 5 pts · 148d

because every single person in the world knows damn well why gas prices are up.

once again, people underestimate the number of stupid people in the world.

LodeMike@lemmy.today · 16 pts · 150d

Is the "low" 37% instead of 38%?

Buffalox@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 150d (3 replies)

Oh I thought profound problems meant he is dying.
Ah well it can't be long now, unfortunately Vance is just as much a psycho, maybe even worse.

tomiant@piefed.social · 4 pts · 150d (2 replies)

I will be glad to announce that he is, in fact, dying.

Buffalox@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 150d (1 reply)

Actually I hope he will live for 20 years more, but be paralyzed so he can't speak.
That may make me evil, but not remotely as evil as Trump.

tomiant@piefed.social · 2 pts · 148d

"May you live forever"

lemmyng@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 149d

He got 99 problems, but a brain ain't one.

Seriously, his brain is mashed potatoes sprinkled with Adderall.

Rusticus@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 149d

Trump doesn’t care about votes anymore. That’s what Elon is for.

Formfiller@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 149d

What a loser

phoenixarise@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 150d

Understatement of all time.

El_Scapacabra@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 149d

Right. This is almost as much of a problem for him as his lack of golfing skills.

melsaskca@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 149d

trump has been exposed as a fumbling idiot, but with brazen swagger. The endless "lowest polling ever" statements have been repeated so often that they've surely become a badge of honour for him.

phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 149d

"Warns. " Like it's a problem.

Treczoks@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 148d

What makes me wonder is that there are still 22% of the population who are still in denial.

And in the end, the most profound problem that Trump has is not his lack of approval. His most profound problem is right between his ears, and could be called a lot of bad luck with thinking...

It doesnt really matter what his approval numbers are, only the party faithful will be allowed to vote in the mid terms, so the GOP will win all the elections
