Trump’s approval rating is 34%. Let that number sink in.
Lower than Jimmy Carter at his lowest point.
As low as Herbert Hoover in the middle of the Great Depression before he got ousted.
He campaigned on ending wars in the Middle East. We have a new war in the Middle East.
He campaigned on lowering prices. Prices are up across the board: energy, tariffs, everything.
And the same people who were with him when he said he wouldn’t do it are still with him now that he’s doing it.
Here’s the real question: Does he care about any of this?
I would submit to everybody — he does not.
He’s entered the nihilistic stage of his political career.
The polls don’t matter. The people don’t matter. The consequences don’t matter.
That is the most dangerous version of this man.
And that’s exactly where we are.
