American voters are onto Trump's game

[Man With A Plan]

Not only do I think he'll do a Barry. I think the deal he will do will be much more favorable than the one "Barry" made.

Iran has been under some form.of embargo for decades. The idea that this now will all of a sudden.will sway the Iranian regime is ludicrous.

Also 500 million a day, a number that's to optimistic by the way, but fine. Is considerably less than the 150 billion the DOJ is askimg at the moment to fund this fiasco. A number by the way, that is likely not going to.cover the cost. A cost.that is increasing daily. And that's just the military side.

Much more importlantly there's an economic storm coming the likes of wich you likely.can't comprehend. There's worldwide supply issues comimlng that are unheard of in anything but world war times. And it's a world the US belongs to no matter how much you deny it.

You're a kid on a tricycle playing chicken with a freight train and are insisting the train will surely break.

Iran has NEVER had it's ability to sell oil blockaded like Trump is doing now! They have always been able to finance themselves by selling to China and India. That is not happening now. Nothing is getting out and no supplies for the Iranian regime are getting in. Without that money, the Iranian government will literally no longer be able to pay groups like the IRGC. You're about to see a "train wreck" occur, Forkup and that train wreck will be the Iranian regime imploding.

There may be a solid recession as an inevitable result.

Anybody else catch how foolish this sounds........

There MAY BE an INEVITABLE result.

 

[HikerGuy83]

You're amusing, Stann.

I think that is a good description.

 

[justoffal]

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

Confirmation bias.....pretty much 100%

 

[HikerGuy83]

I'm simply pointing out that even the person who the Nobel Committee gave the Nobel Peace Prize to thinks that Trump should have won it for ending 8 wars. That will never happen though...because the Nobel Committee is completely constituted with far left ideologues.

He's just being a prick.

I know what you mean. And you are right. It carries weight.

But it doesn't fit the narrative of this toilet paper worthy thread.

I posted some numbers in 71/72/73.

Trump has the lowest range of popularity swing of any of our presidents since Truman. Why? Because he never reached the highs those guys reached. But they all reached even smaller lows than Trump as.

So this whole thread is meaningless.

As is the OP who farted it out.

 

[justoffal]

You're amusing, Stann. I imagine you loved Barack Obama? So let's compare Barry to Donald. Which one left office worth less than when he entered? Which one has never taken a salary but rather worked for free? You think Trump only worries about the rich? Kindly explain why the income gap between the wealthy and blue collar workers exploded under Barack Obama and decreased under Donald Trump!
Obama "talked" a good game but he was ALWAYS about hooking up the well connected! He didn't buy that mansion on Martha's Vineyard because he's a "man of the people"! He bought that property because his wealthy neighbors there ARE his people!

Exactly....

Beat me to it... He is also an avid fan and supporter of Ilhan Omar..... Popularity swings in American politics but generally based on nothing more than attention deficit of voting public regardless of who happens to be in office.

Seriously????

 

[justoffal]

Seriously????

Yes.. kinda let's you know what you're dealing with...

 

[BS Filter]

Leaders who change the world are never appreciated until way after the world has changed for the better. Ask Churchill and Lincoln. President Trump is in that category. There will always be barking dogs, but Leaders ignore them.

 

[Stryder50]

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.

Iran started the war 47+ years ago and has been plucking away with it ever since.

 

[Stryder50]

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...

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion - Wikisource​

1) You need to define the word "Jew." Are you speaking of people who follow Judaism or are you speaking of the ethnic Jews of the Mideast who descended from the Tribe of Judah? Or are you speaking the Khazars who migrated to the Mideast from the eastern Steppes of Europe? Not all "Jews" are religious Jews. Many are atheists. Tel Aviv has the biggest LGBTQ population on earth.

2) The Greater Israel Project is not a myth. But it's not an attempt to "spread Judaism" either. It's a land grab. Netanyahu wouldn't be seizing Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and now Iran unless he planned to expand Israel's borders. Even Mike Huckabee and other American leaders are on board with the idea. Is Benjamin Netanyahu on a mission to realise a Greater Israel?

3) I'm no fan of Islam and it's clear that they've spent much time expanding their ideology into other lands. But I'm no friend of Zionism either. The Zionist philosophy approaches world domination from a different angle. While Muslims simply flood nations with migrants who then force their beliefs on the host nation, Zionists infiltrate governments and use blackmail, bribery, and subversion to gain power. AIPAC comes to mind. Epstein comes to mind. The modern, American Evangelical "Church" comes to mind.

"The Greater Israel Project" may not be accepted by all who claim the title "Jew" but it is a real thing and is embraced by many rich and powerful Zionists.

VA continues on the blue road.

And Trump continues to sink, sink, sink.

I am doing well with the markets once I figured how he was manipulating it.

 

[jacksonlamb]

That's him pointing out that you stating you opinion as facts and trying to put some legs under why this matters.......

is pretty useless.

What denial. Low approval....so what?

Has anyone denied those numbers?

You are denying that they are so important they are leading to Maga wreckage this fall.

 

[jacksonlamb]

Donnie Barry will do a deal with Iran that favors the ragheads.

 

[HikerGuy83]

You are denying that they are so important they are leading to Maga wreckage this fall.

I am saying I don't care what they are now and nobody knows (in today's world) what is going to happen.

Could there be a MAGA wreckage this fall? Yes.

Could MAGA come out OK this fall? Yes.

Nobody knows.

And, frankly, I don't care.

 

[sartre play]

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!

WE tried opening up relationships with Cuba a while ago. the Republicans shot that down. SO is war and involvement in other nations business our pirority?
Should we be looking at how divided instead of united America has become?

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

You're seeing the Left Gerrymander Virginia in as extreme a manner as they've Gerrymandered Illinois. Something that the Democrat who was just elected Governor SWORE she wouldn't do if she was elected! Once again, you on the left destroy democracy all the while bleating about "saving" democracy! Abigail Spanberger is a liar. She told the voters she wouldn't redistrict and as soon as she was in office she backed a redistricting plan that took Virginia from a 6/5 Democrat advantage to a 10/1 Democrat advantage. Just another liberal lying to get elected. Promising to be a moderate and then doing the opposite.

She’s a democrat. There is no distinction between a democrat and a lying communist. That’s what democrat voters vote for.

 

[HikerGuy83]

She’s a democrat.

That is insulting true democrats.

She is a leftist hag who only cares about power. There is a huge difference.
