60 percent disapprove of Trump in new poll

https://crooksandliars.com/2025/10/60-disapprove-trump-new-poll

The ball has finally started to roll downhill, to the point where it is becoming more and more unlikely to go back uphill. I'm guessing once the sticker shock for healthcare hits tens of millions of people, the outcome will not be good. Not to mention the economy, and the fact that prices on everything is totally out of control.

Gee, some business man this guy turned out to be.

The really stupid racist people that have nothing but hate to offer. These people will ride the ship to the bottom of the ocean. Their whole self worth is wrapped up in believing in Trump. They could never let him go.

going around his first time, just to give people a reason (justification) to vote for his ass in 16. And they were so serious about it. I remember it well. "We need a businessman to run this country like a business." And we didn't have that at the time.

So we settled for a corrupt, failed, businessman to run economics for a country of 330 million people. A con man, total failure, and major grift was the result. It was all about him.

Without Fox Noise and National Hate Radio, it should be 90-10 against him among adults with an education of sixth grade level or higher, and an IQ high enough to permit coherent speech.

Isreal, Russia, Tariffs/inflation, Healthcare and immigration. I should probably list China as well. And, of course, the government shut down.

Each one will get worse because Trump can't do more than one thing at a time.

The only item I think he could quickly address is opening the government and funding ACA subsidies. Although he'll probably insist on it being called Trump Care.
