A majority of Americans say President Trump is a "dangerous dictator" who poses a threat to democracy and believe he's overstepped his authority by actions such as the mass firing of federal employees, a new survey says.

The wide-ranging poll released Tuesday, on Trump's 100th day in office, is the latest sign of him losing support for his immigration and economic policies — the two issues that largely fueled his election.

Almost as if Harris and the DNC should have tried harder, and the dumbasses who stayed home should have held their noses and voted.

Imagine if their constitution gave them the right to do something about it...

Oh well 🤷

They should fucking do something.

They sure seem reluctant to do something about him though.

"This guy is a real threat, he's dangerous! He's a dictator, he shouldn't be in power!"

"Alright, you're the people, go do something about it."

"Ehhh..."

Hmm it’s almost as if people are catching on to the Terracotta Tyrant! And that only after checks notes a career of grifting, skirting the law and intimidation, four years of a failed presidency, a lost election, and a campaign full of tyrannical rhetoric.

Phew, it’s a good thing the American People (TM) so quickly recognize people for who and what they really are.
