American voters are onto Trump's game

[jacksonlamb]

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!

Yes, Trump has given them a chance to express their 2:1 disapproval in the fall elections.

 

[jacksonlamb]

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

It won't, and they are unhappy with the war at almost the same right.

Trump is leading his mid-term election team over the cliff, and you know it.

 

[jacksonlamb]

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

Shifting the discussion will not help. All will go Democratic, you know that.

 

[jacksonlamb]

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?

No, I meant oil demand is disrupt in supply because of the war.

If it is tomorrow that the war ends, the supply chain is still disrupted. Price per gallon will not go back down to $3.25 before next year. You can find no one who says it will.

 

[jacksonlamb]

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.

Again... you sound confused. Trump's non-coherent war plan is leading the mid-terms for the GOP right over the cliff.

 

[Man With A Plan]

Six months is a life time in politics, Jackson...just ask Eric Swalwell and Jasmine Crockett...

 

[jacksonlamb]

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!

Most Americans are not going to be swayed in voting either way by whatever happens in Venezuela, Columbia, or Cuba.

**** with Mexico, Trump may be successfully impeached.

It could, but not likely.

Demand remains constant...it's supply that's been disrupted. So tell me what happens to supply once all those oil tankers exit the Straight of Hormuz and deliver their oil? This isn't that hard to grasp, Jackson...you can do it!

The supply disruption will not be resolved anywhere before elections.

You know that. Price at the pump will go down slowly. And you are betting it starts tomorrow? Won't make a difference for the fall elections.

Most far left liberals won't be swayed...Independents on the other hand? Don't be so sure. Price of oil comes down and the economy will take off because of what's in the "Big Beautiful Bill"! Unless you can conjure another global pandemic to shut down the economy then the Democrats are going to be running on Trans policies, no voter ID's and defunding DHS. Good luck on that, Little Buddy!

I saw it going down over the week end, Jackson. It's just a matter of time before Iran folds. Their biggest supporters are Russia and China. Russia can't afford to help them because the war with Ukraine has bled them dry. China can't afford to have oil through the Straight shut down any longer. They get 80% of their oil from that source. That blockade Trump just put in place? It's going to hurt two countries more than any others...and those two countries are Iran and China. China's going to tell the Iranians to make a deal.

Is that what your magic 8 ball told you?

Here from $4.85 to $4.76 is not much and very far from $3.00. Hold onto your pipe dream, because you have nothing else.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Greater Israel is a super idea.

If it stops terrorist attacks on Israel, it's a superlative idea.

 

[forkup]

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.

The first seems to me like a meaningless question. I'll demonstrate.

Ask the American people if they want, China, Russia, India, N-Korea or Pakistan to have nuclear weapons and they will say no. In fact, a considerable amount don't like the US to have nuclear weapons.

The relevant follow-up question here is, are you willing to pay this particular price to stop them.

So, you're right. Polling is about the questions you ask and yours was worse.

I'll answer the second bit too.

Trump's ripping up the Obama deal, a deal that would have taken their enriched uranium out of the country, put their production sites under international inspection up until 2025 has made Iran aquiring nuclear weapons more likely. To the point were bombing the facilities in the hope of stopping them, followed by a full blown war, was the option chosen. An option that's having severe worldwide consequences.

That is the reality behind the question.

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.

But there's always those who see anything they disagree with as a "conspiracy" of some kind.

If the majority of Americans oppose the good Trump supports then this country is going to hell.

It must drop a dollar and a quarter withing a couple of months. And then drop from there. This is what we were promised. The other party are not Democrats. They are Socialists moving to Communists. They will push for D.C. and Puerto Rico to become states and 13 Supreme Court judges and game over. They will pass legislation that Republican's will not.

 

[westwall]

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.

Gas was a buck more under Joey bribem.

Try again im2stupid.
