American voters are onto Trump's game

[jacksonlamb]

I am no longer worried about what will happen with the war. Though it will deal gas dropping below $3.00 until next year, there is going to be massive war damage to America. There may be a solid recession as an inevitable result. But I am not worried. Why? Trump is playing a game with markets and raking in a fortune with his buddies. The war will end when he says, "I've won, and I want a Nobel Peace Prize."

I don't think he will get one. Why? American voters are on to him. Check all of the polls. He is upside down at 1:2.

Here’s where public polling stands right now on Trump, the war in Iran, and the economy, based on the most recent data available (all from April 19, 2026):

​

• 37% approve, 63% disapprove — Trump’s lowest point of his second term.

Public opinion is strongly negative:

• About two‑thirds of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of the Iran war.
• 54% strongly disapprove, with only 33% approving of his handling of the conflict.
• Multiple polls show the war is a major driver of his declining approval.

This is Trump’s worst-performing issue area:

• Only 32% approve of his handling of inflation and cost of living; 68% disapprove.
• Two‑thirds of Americans say rising prices are a major concern.
• Gas prices and war‑related cost increases are specifically cited as drivers of disapproval.
• One‑third say the U.S. is on the right track; two‑thirds say it’s on the wrong track — the most pessimistic reading since Trump returned to office.

Even among Republicans:

• Approval has slipped from 87% → 83% in recent months.
• Strong approval has dropped 6 points (58% → 52%).

He still has more than 8 of 10 GOP. But women, under 34, and indies are saying, basically, "**** him and his buddies," this fall. You know what Dems think.

I'm curious...on what are you basing your belief that there will be a "solid recession" brought on by this war?

[Man With A Plan]

As for polling? Ask the American people if they want Iran to have a nuclear weapon? Then ask them if Trump's actions have made that more unlikely to occur. That's the thing with polls, Jackson...you can get the answers you're looking for simply by how you ask your questions.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Yeah...that's what we thought.

He knows that. We know that. Which is why we print his posts and use them as toilet paper.

According to Netanyahu, Iran was supposed to have a "nuclear weapon" 40 years ago. That was simply a contrived excuse to go to war with Iran. The real reason is "The Greater Israel Project." That's precisely why we're there.

What Is Greater Israel Project? Why It Raises Concerns Amid Iran War - EXPLAINED

The ongoing conflict involving Iran and Israel has escalated tensions in the Middle East, particularly with Israel's military operations in Lebanon against Hezbollah. This has raised alarm over Israel's potential territorial ambitions linked to the "Greater Israel" concept, which envisions a...

Disrupting oil demand and able to supply that demand in a timely fashion.

Greater Israel is a super idea.

And you project accurately if all the polls say approximately the same thing: Trump is shafting the Republicans for the fall elections for whatever reasons that go on in that strangely shaped, orange bulbous head. Iran is not anywhere near having a nuke, and even if they were, Americans vote pocketbook first and last and in between.

 

[Man With A Plan]

As for the price of gas? The average price of gas in June of 2022 was almost $5. What did we get for those increased prices during the Biden Administration? Besides rampant inflation?

Now compare that to what Americans have gotten from a gas price just over $4 under Trump. Trump's policies have eliminated a brutal dictator in Venezuela which in turn will shortly be eliminating a brutal Communist regime in Cuba because they relied on cheap subsidized oil from Venezuela. Trump's policies will also free the Iranian people from a brutal Islamic regime in Iran something which will probably bring peace to the Middle East and put a stop to China's access to deeply discounted oil from Iran. What Trump is doing in Iran may finally free normal people in places like Lebanon and Gaza from domination by Iranian proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah. Ridding the world of the Mullahs and the Revolutionary Guard will prevent the Russians from being armed with the drones they've used to attack Ukraine.

What we're seeing now could literally change the globe for the better is so many ways it's not even funny. So tamp down your Trump Derangement for a little while and look at the big picture for once!

 

[jacksonlamb]

The time is now, Man With A Plan, not six years ago.

People don't look back like that.

They are hurting now, and they perceive that Trump's policies are hurting them.

You know how they will re-act this fall.

 

[SaxonJackson]

Greater Israel is a super idea.

Unless you're a Palestinian, Egyptian, Saudi Arabian, Iranian, Syrian, Lebanese, Turk, or Jordanian.

 

[jacksonlamb]

They had their chance in 1948 since then. They have blown the more than six chances since then.

Hail Greater Israel!

Fine...give the American people a choice. Would they absorb $4 a gallon gas for six months or even a year in return for ridding the world of the present Iranian regime? Americans aren't stupid (New Yorkers aside at the moment!) they grasp how catastrophic it would be if the hard liners in Iran ever did get a nuke!

And if the price of gas falls in the next 6 months? What do you on the left run on then, Jackson?

 

[Man With A Plan]

How well your far left policies have worked in New York City, California, Portland, Chicago and Minnesota? Seriously?

 

[Man With A Plan]

Disrupting oil demand and able to supply that demand in a timely fashion.

I assume you mean oil supply disruption? So what happens to supply and demand once the Iranians can no longer close the Straight? You do realize that all of those hundreds of ships now stacked up waiting to deliver oil will all be delivering their cargoes? What do you think that will do to the price of oil?

What WILL HAPPEN? There is GOING TO BE? There MAY BE? The war WILL end? I DON'T THINK? LOL, at least the last one is certain.

I would be curious to see how the Left attempts to spin the narrative if Trump's second term results in the elimination of a despotic Communist regime in Venezuela...another despotic Communist regime in Cuba...an Islamic despotic regime in Iran and also ridding Gaza and Lebanon of Hamas and Hezbollah!
I know they'll try to paint it as a failure but MAN is it going to hard to get that kind of bullshit to stick to the wall!
