Trump, Plummeting Precipitously In Popularity
YOU WOULD THINK, what with all the turmoil going on within the Trump administration, and all over the country as a ripple effect, what with all the thousands of people losing their jobs, with all the harm he is doing to America, that Trump's approval rating would be taking a sharp dip. And, indeed it is according to reecent polls, although the process hasn't proceeded very far, yet. Trump still has his base, that hard core thirty to fourty percent with which we are all so painfylly familiar. But his disapproval rating is well over fifty percent, and his national approval rating well below fifty percent, with independents in particular, the group Trump needs to win, declining the most in its support of Trump. With tens of thousands of government bureaucrats losing their jobs, and tens of thousands more to soon follow, when you consider the friends and families and relatives of all thse suddenly unemploye folks, it seems inevitable that there will be hundreds of thousnds of Americans, even millions of voters disappointed in and disenchanted with Trump. Many, at least a certain percentage of those fired from the government in the great Elon Musk purging are, or were Trump supporters,and voted for him. Many of them b now have already soured on Trump, or soon will. Te only question is: "how many"? The answer will become apparent in due time. However, it must be remembered ow surprisingly doveted and resilient Trump support seems to be.A perfect example of this is in a letter a lady, who had een laid off her government job by Trump-Musk, wrote to the president. She begis the letter by sayng how shocked and surprised she was to receive notification of her termination, since she had been aud a hard working, loyal, reliable government worker, for many many years. She went on to say that she was concerned about how things would work out back in her old office and building and department, where her former coworkers, like government agencies all over the place, would have to hustle and shuffle and rearrange things to allow the remaining workers to pick p the slack,and to get the work done which would have been done by their dearly departed comrades. Good point. Then she talked in teh letter about her family, neighborhood,and community.She simplly had no idea how they were gong to get by, losing not only her income, but those of folks all over the country, and the impact it would have on thousands of families, economicall, and the communities they lived in. Another good point. Then, suddenly, she changed direction. She told the president that she had voted for him every time, and that she still loves him and considers herself a strong supporter of his. And, finally, Mr.President, could I please have my job back? Now, if she is actually waiting for Trump to give her her job back, let alone ever read her letter or see the envelope it ame in, good luck. We hope and assume she understands this, But, who knows? The amazing thing is, and has always been, what Trump supporters have been willing and able to ignore, overlook, accept, or put up with, and explain away using twisted and fabricated "facts", to remain supporters of Donald Trump. The cult leader guru christ can do no wrong. But, like everything else, there has got to be a limit to it, somewhere. Maybe the inflation caused by al these new tariffs will be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
