Dum-dum donnie doesn't really give that much of a fuck.
He's making money hand over fist for him and his rotten family as well as anyone around him getting cut in.
And no one is stopping any of it. If they get that stablecoin fraud into place, they will make buckets of money and it will probably take a lot to pry them out of the center of our banking system.
Well, let that speak for itself.
71% of Republicans seemingly OK with inflation and a recession...
They'd let Donvict personally kick them right in the ballsack and bang their wives/daughters if they thought it would own the libz.
They're not okay with it, they're just blaming someone else.
Well, it's a cult... they will approve of their own torture and death as long as it is "their team" ordering it
If future historians ask why the world lost confidence in the USA, it's this
It kinda does.
What a bunch of these polls miss is that the total number of people who identify as republicans is declining.
I wonder who those 5% of Democrats are?
The ones who put democrat instead of republican
Yeah. People frequently lie, including lying to pollsters.
Fetterman and other fifth column democrats.
Morons
Common clay of the new West.
Republican
Still, the vast majority of Republicans are sticking by Trump, like 68-year-old Greg Votel, a retired law enforcement officer in Minnesota who said the president "can only do so much when you have a Congress that's fighting him tooth and nail to preserve the Democratic Party" and told NPR that it will take more time for Trump's plans to come to fruition.
a retired law enforcement officer
Well....
A question for Americans.
In some other countries, eg Australia, if the 'President' becomes unpopular, their own party can vote them out and replace them during a term of office. It's rare, but happens with bad polling, and ambitious politicians.
Is that possible in the US? ie the Republicans could vote out Trump and replace him with Vance? Or could it only be done via impeachment etc, and would have to be voted on by everyone in the House/Senate?
His ENTIRE party is complicit and is protecting him from consequences.
They can impeach him but only if he breaks the law. Which he constantly does. This is why people should not be gung ho as much about getting rid of trump as much as getting rid of the republican party. Not conservatives necessarily but the republican party has no consistant way of acting that could really call them anything anymore.
It sounds like your asking the question from the perspective of someone with a parliamentary system where the prime minister is chosen by the majority party or coalition. That is not the case in the U.S., the president is elected completely independently from our legislators.
While there is a provision to remove the president due to incapacitation, and there has been talk of applying that to Trump's mental decline, the bar is high. The vice president and a majority of the cabinet (which were chosen by, and serve at the pleasure of, the president) have to petition Congress and if the president says no disability exists both houses of Congress have to agree by a 2/3 vote to remove him for disability.
The more likely route is impeachment, but this is also a high bar. A simple majority in the House of Representatives impeaches the president, but that just means sending him to the Senate for trial where a 2/3 majority is required to convict and remove him.
Don't hold your breath for it.
Big deal. He's not losing his presidency either way. Congress would need a supermajority of Democrats working in lock step to halt his evil machinations. And I really mean supermajority to overcome all the turncoats just waiting to show their true colors come voting time.
And I really mean supermajority to overcome all the turncoats just waiting to show their true colors come voting time.
Yeah, even when we have a "supermajority" we have the Fifth Column assholes make themselves known.
Right? He's already been impeached twice, oh no the majority of people don't like him. Now he's in real trouble /s The entire US political system is such a fucking joke, it has been for decades, Trump just made it more apparent. Now it's not who's the best candidate (opinion), it's who's the least shit in your opinion. That's sad.
Poll number limbo challenge contines
Yeah so what? I've been reading dozens of not hundreds of articles about his low polling numbers since the beginning of his first term.
Nothing changed
If you think NOTHING has changed, you're not paying attention to news, you're only looking at doomerism.
People are pushing back, his policies are being stopped, and congress isn't united along with him.
Yes, he has done some absolute damage to the US and the world as a whole, but he has been stopped over and over again.
People are fighting back, and people are winning.
The new record low = the old record low.
I mean, I doubt it.
