He's also a felon.

And pedophile.

Adult rapist too.

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 20 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] jagermo@feddit.org 6 points 6 months ago

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.

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

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

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 points 6 months ago

Yes I think the problem is identified right there.

[-] tomiant@piefed.social 4 points 6 months ago
[-] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

Does Trump have a Boxing Helena fetish?

[-] ati@piefed.social 1 points 6 months ago

That picture is totally armless.

[-] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 6 months ago

Maybe her arms are hands are ziptied behind her back.

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.

[-] tomiant@piefed.social 3 points 6 months ago

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

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 24 points 6 months ago

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

[-] electrotabby@piefed.social 2 points 6 months ago

I thought he ordered them to stop polling presidential approval?

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 21 points 6 months ago

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

[-] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 6 months ago

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 points 6 months ago

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 points 6 months ago

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 points 6 months ago

Also, every other polling service has his numbers lower.

[-] tomiant@piefed.social 18 points 6 months ago

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

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 16 points 6 months ago

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

[-] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 16 points 6 months ago

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 points 6 months ago

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

[-] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 5 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

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 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

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 points 6 months ago

"May you live forever"

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

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

Seriously, his brain is mashed potatoes sprinkled with Adderall.

[-] Rusticus@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

What a loser

[-] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Understatement of all time.

[-] El_Scapacabra@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 months ago

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

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 months ago

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 points 6 months ago

"Warns. " Like it's a problem.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

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
