Trump Is a Weak and Failing President, and It’s Time to Say So - September 2025 Poll

[Frankeneinstein]

Yes, it is. If he wasn't president and in a position to harm my nation, I could care less about him. Nonetheless, he is harming my nation and it is my civic duty to work to prevent it.


I am not a woman but due to my nature (caring and understanding human nature and what a woman is and how she feels, I understand women very well (more that most men).

On top of that, my main goal in life was always to find TRUE love and I have done it. That requires understanding of who she is.

She feels the same about me and we both are willing to sacrifice ourselves for each other.

Here is a poem I wrote about true love

I Am In Love​

"I am in love" is a very simple statement
And one that’s said a million times a day
And yet I know my feelings are much deeper
Than those simple words can ever say
How can I have you feel the tremors
That shake my body when I think of you?
Or have you know the awesome power
You have to take away my "blue"?

I wake up every single morning
And thoughts of you pervade my mind
I go to sleep each and every evening
And feel your soul cuddling to mine

And in between those waking moments
My heart is filled with pure and utter joy
For just the knowledge of your love for me
Makes me feel like an innocent young boy

My days are filled with brim and fervor
As everything I see or touch I like
And everyone who I meet in person
Seems to draw upon my smiling sight

I love the way you make me feel
So full of purpose and of goals
And yet I know that when I’m with you
I tend to lose my learned controls

The physical desire I feel within me
Is unlike any I have ever known before
For I dream of being deep inside of you
In mind, body, heart and soul

My love for you is endless
In fact it grows much every day
I know that as time goes forward
It will expand in every way

This love I have for you inside of me
Is greater than the one I have for my own self
As I would gladly sacrifice my very existence
If it meant your happiness and health

So when they ask "Do you truly, really love her?"
I can surely answer "Yes, I really, truly do"
For I know true love requires giving
And I am giving all I have to you.

and here is the woman I love and who loves me as much as I do her

Would you be willing to spend 3 days in a hospital and sleep on an uncomfortable chair for the man you love? She did that!

That would mean that you do not share any of my values (morals, ethics, principles and humanity), which are values that make a person worthwhile.

I am sad for you!

You just seem so damaged, its difficult to determine if I am responsible for any of it.

It’s just not accurate to say Trump never did anything to help people. He signed the First Step Act, which gave thousands of Americans a second chance by reducing unfair sentences and expanding rehabilitation programs. He helped broker the Abraham Accords, historic peace deals that brought Arab nations and Israel closer together. Before the pandemic, the U.S. had its lowest unemployment in 50 years, and wages were rising fastest for lower-income workers.

Trump also pushed to cut taxes on tips, overtime, and retirement income for seniors, putting more money back in the pockets of working people and those on fixed incomes. Veterans saw expanded healthcare access, and Operation Warp Speed made COVID vaccines available in record time—saving lives worldwide. Like him or not, those are real, tangible ways he made a difference for everyday Americans.

He benefitted personally by doing that, given that he did it to generate positive feelings and as such, more votes for himself.

Trump is a con artist and con artists are people that give you something first, in order to gain more for themselves later.

People that truly care about others, do it without generating any publicity for themselves.

For example, Warren Buffett has donated (without any personal benefit to himself in any way) over $60 billion dollars to charities.

Trump: Multiple legal actions and investigations found Donald Trump's former charity, the Donald J. Trump Foundation, engaged in a "shocking pattern of illegality" that included self-dealing, politicization, and coordination with his 2016 presidential campaign.

Total con artist, benefitting only for himself

Damaged?

How would I be damaged? I am economically sound for the rest of my life! I have the love of my life with me! My kids have families and are economically sound! I am 80 years of age and still alive (77 is the average an American lives). I have achieved all my goals in life and have done never done anything to anyone to harm them. I have good friends and am respected and loved! I am still sound of mind and able to think, articulate, and communicate! My remaining purpose in life is to help my nation as much as I can and am doing so by volunteering myself and the knowledge I have gained in my life, to help others in my community (and those online, wherever possible)! I am in peace with myself, meaning that I believe God will help my soul go to heaven and not to hell.

You call that damaged?

If you do, then it is you that is damaged as you give no value to any of this.

The title of the OP says it all, and it is not opinion but facts:

Trump Is a Weak and Failing President, and It’s Time to Say So​

President Donald Trump understands better than anyone else alive that his hold on his supporters—and on plenty of swing voters too—depends on the mere perception that he’s strong, wins everywhere, always acts boldly, and wields absolute mastery over his eternally feckless, disoriented enemies. Last month, after an anemic July jobs report, Trump fired the steward of jobs data, magically transforming the story from one about the Trump economy’s weakness into one about him decisively crushing a newly designated foe.

On Friday, however, the new jobs report found that only 22,000 jobs were created in August, far fewer than the 73,000 created in July. A downward revision of the previous month shows 13,000 jobs were lost in June. Shockingly, firing the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics could not disguise the impact of Trump’s own policies: As economists noted, most signs suggest his tariffs are an important reason for the slowdown.

What is most telling about this most recent poll is the fact that on the 2 issues that he ran on (and won because of it) are immigration and inflation. After 8 months of being in office, he is now polling negative on immigration (-4.1%) and on inflation, it is down -24%. Heck, on jobs and the economy, he is -16.5%.

By the way and before you attempt to dispute whether these numbers are wrong or not or whether these numbers are biased, the reality is that these are poll numbers which show what Americans in general are FEELING and BELIEVING about Trump's competency and his ability to get things done. This means that reality is not important at all. This is what Americans are going to feel about Trump, when they VOTE! As such, reality is meaningless.

Backing all of this information even more so, here is another interesting fact:

Gavin Newsome (California's governor), who also has a negative rating on the polls, is now leading Trump on the most recent polls:

How Gavin Newsom's Favorability Ratings Compare to Donald Trump​

Published Sep 04, 2025 at 9:32 AM EDT​

Gavin Newsom is slightly more popular than Donald Trump, new polls have shown. According to polling by The Economist/YouGov, Newsom has a net approval rating of -10 percentage points, while Trump's is -15. The poll of 1,691 adults was conducted between August 29 and September 2 with a margin of error of +/- 3.4 percentage points.

A Yahoo/YouGov poll of 1,690 adults found that Newsom has a net approval rating of -9, while Trump's approval rating is at -14. The poll was conducted between August 29 and September 2 and had a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points.

According to two polls, the California governor is more favored than the president by 5 percentage points.

When you consider that Newsome, who is a man few people even consider should be president, is beating Trump by 5 points, it supports the fact that Americans (including Republicans) are seeing Trump as a president that is failing the nation.

Last but "not least" is the fact that even among Trump's most ardent supporters, his approval ratings are down. He has always had a very high approval among his supporters (95%) but that is now down to 85%. It is still high but it does mean that 10% of his base is now believing he is doing a bad job.

Once again and for all those Trump supporters that immediately jump on anyone that criticize Trump (accuse them of having TDS), this is not an OP that is here to criticize Trump's actions (so they can be disputed) but is an OP that shows the fact that Trump is being seen (by a "growing" number of Americans) as a President that is failing at his job.

That is what counts at election time!

Wow, you really got Trump now. Shouldn't we wait for major **** ups before we climb into your short bus?

Ah, but he's not popular with Democracks...........As if that's important. Really, it provides validation, because you know, everyday is opposite day for the liberal. The better Trump does, the least popular he is.

 

[Godboy]

1. Until midterms.

Dems are looking terrible in the midterms. All signs are tremendously catastrophic for your party. Im not sure why you are looking forward to next year. You should be absolutely TERRIFIED of 2026.

Trump lost a record 40 seats last midterm and is just as unpopular. Anything can happen for sure, but history is on the side of a blood bath for the GOP. Especially if the economic numbers continue to lag expectations.

Borders closed
Protecting Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security
Shut down Iran's nuclear weapon ambitions
Opened up the energy industry
Identified fraud waste and abuse
Helped end 5-6 wars
Men out of women's sports and bath rooms/locker rooms
cuts in DEI and LGBQT+846 education
cuts in gender affirming procedures in children

I wish every president could be weak and fail like this.

 

[Unkotare]

I forgot about this, this will piss off Lucky.

He'll pretend he didn't see it.

... it is my civic duty to work to prevent it.

So far you've accomplished exactly nothing.

Generally operating businesses want stability (i.e. Manufacturing, Farming,...), they are investing over time to reap the returns on their investment...

Be a Rock, Get Rocked

We foolishly give them the exclusive power to make economic decisions, yet they aren't flexible enough to deal with the fluid reality and its inevitable sudden changes.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Fighting immoral, unethical, unprincipled, and inhumane people is not sad, it is to be lauded. Few people value (or have) those traits. It is fighting for human valúes and rights. You saying it is sad, is very sad as it suggests you have none of them yourself

Pathetic self-important self-righteousness

Pathetic self-important self-righteousness

Just like you! Now if he can just repeat his nonsense 8000000000000000000 times, you'll be twins!

Last midterms with Trump were an ENTIRELY different time period. Democrats didnt have a disastrous 20% approval rating then and the entire world was told that Trump was a Russian agent. Its amazing how much things can change in 8 years.

 

[Mac1958]

He's the weakest, most needy, most insecure individual I've ever seen. Male, female, child.

But "failing"? Definitely too early to know what things will look like when the dust settles. And it looks like there will surely be a ton of dust.

If you believe restricted anything is based on RFK Jr's gut feelings perhaps you are hopeless. The efficacy of the covid clot shot is based more on the political donations the pharmaceutical companies made.

The Pharmafia made the politicians an offer they couldn't refuse

I except the fact every election is different but not even very popular Obama could hold midterms. The opposition doesnt really matter. Its all a referendum on the president. We will see but i would be shocked not seeing Trump wiped out.

Trump lost a record 40 seats last midterm

Clinton lost 54 seats.
Obama lost 63 seats.
