That would be great news, if we were ever going to have elections again.
Nepal has taught the world that you don't need your government to have an election.
RATINGS DON'T MATTER ANYMORE. Stop posting this shit.
I feel bad for the citizens that voted against this. But every protest sitter outer, and person that did vote for this can't say shit.
It's an attempt to keep up morale from people that think we'll get midterms
That's cool that some people are (finally) figuring out what a total clown Orange Jesus is, but....did Hitler's poll numbers really mattered after he seized power?
So? He doesn't care
Pretty sure the election was stolen and all those swing states anyway. It’s statistically improbable that he won all seven swing states. Not to mention the election tampering, Starlink, etc.
Donald Trump has cheated at literally EVERYTHING in his life: he cheated on every wife, he cheats at golf and wins every tournament at all of his courses, he cheats on his taxes, he uses bankruptcy as a money laundering strategy, etc. He cheats in every aspect of his life, but the Democrats want us to believe that he won "fair & square," and millions of people in the swing states voted straight Democratic tickets, except with Trump at the top. They've never produced a single one of these Democratic Trump voters, which only exist in the swing states, apparently.
According to Democratic leadership, the one election that he absolutely HAD to win, in order to avoid spending the rest of his life in prison, is the ONLY time that he played it "fair & square," and didn't cheat. Does that sound the Trump we've all come to know?
Statistically im probable?
Statistically improbable.
Yes thanks lol
Makes sense. He looks like he's been underwater himself
The cabal playing him like a fiddle approve.
The man tried to overthrow the legitimate government of the USA and Americans still elected him into office. Approval rating doesn't mean shit.
89 million Americans didn't vote in 2024, roughly 36% of all eligible voters, over 1/3rd.
Not voting is equal to voting for the winner.
... so you're saying he's extremely popular?
Which just means they stood there and watched as 1/3rd elected him into office. Just because they didn't vote doesn't mean they aren't responsible. It's like three people sitting in a train, one trying to keep it on the tracks, one trying to steer it off the tracks and the third guy just watching like he's not on the same train as the other two.
Elections happen every 2 years. Approval polls are taken every 2 weeks. Things change.
And the voters have an even shorter term memory. Trending downward is nice, but I doubt the shit we're dealing with now will be in most people's mind when they vote in 2026 and 2028.
If in March he announces an end to the tariffs and prices have a sudden relief, then the GOP can sail in on the realization of lower prices.
It's easier to make things better when you deliberately make them worse first. There's the lovely strategic thing of the non-election year.
We'll probably have worse things on our mind by then...
No shit. He probably will have nuked San Francisco or something by then.
Does not matter when votes won't happen...
They'll surely find an excuse.
People have the memory of a goldfish. In 2028, the democratic candidate is going to have some obscure flaw that'll be pushed to every media station and social network that caters to the party that punishes opponents, and most Americans will forget the past 4 years and focus on this one flaw.
“Yes Hitler McRacismCEO is a fascist, but Steve NotANazi clears his throat weird. Both sides are the same. Don't vote.”
The 2028 nominee will be Liz Cheney or something.
That's what all the labeling of groups as terrorists is for, along with the troop deployment to cities. They are going to try to effectively declare war on terrorism in various cities and states and use that war to suspend elections.
great, he is not planning on their being another election so it really doesn't matter.
I recently started following a guy on YouTube who's answer to the doubt over whether we'll be able to vote again is, "I'm not asking. I'm voting". I've decided to adopt that mentality and I encourage others to do the same.
This is the correct response. All that matters is what you intend to do.
You don’t get points for correctly predicting defeat, calling out other’s inaction, or lamenting how unfair the fight is.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but only cowardice tries to spread it among comrades in the midst of the fight.
But he had all those "Trump 2028" hats. Surely that means he plans to run again. He wouldn't just troll people for the sadistic glee, right?
Too late, thanks to the dumbfuck voting population.
If he is still alive in 2028, there is no chance he allows fair and free elections, so this does not matter at all.
I dont know why this is relevant. Either he prevented from running, in which case this doesnt matter; OR he IS running in violation of the law, in which case this doesnt batter because if he is willing to break an established precent and law then he would not leave his third term open to chance by having free or fair elections.
... or they just don't have elections.
He's already spoken about it. If there's a "war" they don't need elections.
The worst part is that there’s no actual law about that anywhere. He’s looking at Ukraine’s suspended elections, but that was only possible because Ukraine’s constitution specifically states that elections can be suspended during war. The US constitution doesn’t have any such clause. But I’m sure he’ll try anyways, and the current SCOTUS will let him.
Maybe seeing the winds change can help the chickenshit congress find their spine and make the 25th ammendment happen?
Does it matter? Kamala was supposed to have a slam dunk victory in the last presidential election. Every single post made on Reddit and Lemmy and Mastodon and everything said Trump's numbers are "lowest they've ever been" and what not. In the end, Trump won and it wasn't even close. It doesn't matter what the polls say. In the end, hatred and stupidity won in the last election and who knows, it might work again.
Approval rating doesn't matter if we never get to vote again and even if we do, he's a lame duck anyway.
I wish I had any confidence polls meant anything to him or the GOP.
Trump is saying we are "at war" eith our own cities, cartels, and probably Venezuala sooner or later. And if we are "at war" no way to have elections right guys? I mean Ukraine did it so he can too.
There's probably not a single president that cared about approval ratings in their second term. Regardless of what they may think about a particular candidate at this point between elections, they will vote according to their needs on election Day
Trump definitely cares. He thrives on that kind of shit.
He doesn't care about approval ratings, those are measurements or projections of future acceptance. He cares about right now and keeping his name in the media, good or bad. Anytime there is a lull in his name circulating he will make the most outrageous claim or statement so media refocuses on him.
Yeah well fuck those states specifically, I hope they lose everything.
Hey man, swing states are at least trying. Go yell at Ohio or Florida. They used to be swing states and gave up.
