Good spin, won't work, but good job trying, lol. You and your pals are screwed till 26, and if your propaganda does not work, until 28 and beyond. Thanks for participating, but the question is----------->do YOU want Democracy, or Bureaucracy?

We actually can see what you want-)

We do not want your plutocracy.

Many of Trump’s early actions are unpopular, Post-Ipsos poll finds
Reviews from Americans on Trump’s second term are mixed to negative, and 57 percent say he has exceeded his authority since taking office.

Board System Asks: Is this already being discussed? I answer "Not that I know of. I've searched. I've seen this article posted as a reply or something in a Putin thread. Not sure wtf that was about.

So, drum-roll please...

President Donald Trump has opened his second term with a flurry of actions designed to radically disrupt and shrink the federal bureaucracy, but reviews from Americans are mixed to negative on many of his specific initiatives, and 57 percent say he has exceeded his authority since taking office, according to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll.​

Feb. 13-18, 2025, Washington Post-Ipsos poll​

Updated: February 20, 2025 at 8:45 a.m. EST today​

Interesting is this: Overall, 43 percent of Americans say they support what the president has done during his first month in office, with 48 percent saying they oppose. Those who strongly oppose outnumber those who strongly support by 37 percent to 27 percent. Much of what Trump is doing with his so-called shock & awe attacks through a flurry executive orders, is strongly opposed by American citizens.

The president’s supporters applaud him for deporting undocumented immigrants and cutting government waste. Those unhappy with the direction he is taking the country say they fear Trump is allowing billionaire Elon Musk to dismantle critical government programs.

In their first 100 days in office (a fairly new benchmark), Presidents have been know to overreach. Also, they've been known to overestimate the support from the America public for themselves personally, and for their policies.

another article is more interesting when Dante's argument(s) is put forth:

Trump’s honeymoon is over
New polling shows Trump’s approval ratings declining — and a number of major warning signs appearing.

snippet:

President Donald Trump came into office claiming a sweeping and historic mandate, but that was always oversold.
Trump’s win was relatively modest, historically speaking. And while his approval rating upon taking office reached a new all-time high for him — around 50 percent — his “honeymoon” phase still paled in comparison with every modern president not named Trump.

And now, after one month in office, whatever honeymoon (and mandate) Trump enjoyed appears to be slipping away.
Multiple polls this week have shown his approval rating dropping into more normal territory for him, in the mid-40s. And a new Washington Post-Ipsos poll crystallizes a number of warning signs for Trump’s agenda of drastic and legally dubious change.

Indeed, Americans seem to be quite concerned by how far Trump is going, and most of his signature policies and initiatives appear to be quite unpopular — especially those spearheaded by billionaire Elon Musk.

there are more, but I'll not put them here.

You realize that crap is from the WP. They have no political credibility and are biased. But thanks anyway.

You smell of elderberry farts.

But that's how our government works. Either meet us part of the way or shut the government down if you can't pass that monstrosity of a budget bill on your own.

We know you are screwed, no matter how CONFIDENT you pretend to be. Trump will get 75% or more of his way, as your side will collapse. Want to bet-)

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

He may get 30 to 40% of what he wants.

I am glad to see the border being managed. Tariffs are stupid. Zelensky will seel Ukraine rare earlh and metals to the European Union. But... the big budget till is dead unless you can move the Freedom Caucus.

Making America great again. What is being wrecked is the Dim deep state that is utterly corrupt. Buh-Bye.

Who cares> A generic 'you' for MAGA. I gotta kick out of TPers who got arrested at the town meeting 15 years for being shit azzes. I don't mind people voicing their minds to their congress critters about Musk et al but do lawfully.

The Trump Deep State is replacing the other for the enrichment of the billionaires.

I haven't been this stoked about the direction the US is heading in a long, long time, Mike. Someone actually using common sense in Washington? I haven't seen this in forever! When Trump and Musk DO THIS and the people see that you don't need to have waste and fraud in our government...they are going to thrilled.

Cool story, bro. Which Dim outlet told you to say try that.

 

[Man With A Plan]

It’s fun now, but people will eventually notice when government dysfunction affects their lives.

Government dysfunction has already affected their lives, Marener and now it being shown how bad that dysfunction has been. The Swamp is being exposed and they're frantic. It's a beautiful thing to watch.

Deportations are less than Obama and Trump, inflation is going up, and we have weakened Ukraine and our allies in Europe and the Pacific.

Deportations are less because illegals aren't coming to the border anymore. They would be higher if Democrats in "Sanctuary Cities" weren't protecting criminal ellegals! Homan will keep at it though and slowly but surely our country will become safer.
As for Ukraine? Trump wants to stop a war that is killing millions. Biden was willing to see it to go on forever.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Deportations are less because of the 23 million illegals, the great majority are skipping around ICE.

The numbers are dropping not increasing.

Trump wants to kiss Putin's ass and get his share of the Ukraine rare earth mentals.
