After the latest ABC/Washington Post/IPSOS poll was announced, President Donald Trump took to (where else?) social media. He wrote, "They are negative criminals who apologize to their subscribers after I WIN ELECTIONS BIG, much bigger than their polls showed I would win, loose (sic) a lot of credibility, and then go on cheating and lying for the next cycle, only worse."
Obviously, it doesn't take much to push El Donald over the edge, but what was it about those numbers that drove him into such a rage? Maybe it's because the President's overall approval rating was at, 39% which is a six point drop since the same poll was taken in February. That number is the lowest first 100-day approval rating in the 80 years such polls have been conducted. It might be in the details. Only 21% of respondents said they, "strongly approve," of his job performance, while 41% said they, "strongly disapprove."
When asked about the administration's claims of activist judges interfering with the President's authority, 62% said no, the judicial is simply enforcing existing limits on Presidential power. 67% said federal judges should have the power to block Mr. Trump's executive orders until a trial is held to determine if those edicts and proclamations will, "harm people, or are illegal."
In addition, 59% said they believe Trump and his pal, Elon Musk will go too far in reducing the size of the federal government. That's while 52% said health and public safety will be put at risk by Musk's chainsaw and Robert Kennedy's brain worms.
There was more bad news for Brother Don. By a 49% to 34% margin the people polled said Trump's current foreign policy will weaken America's world leadership capabilities, rather than strengthen it.
No wonder Trump also posted, in part, "THEY ARE SICK, almost only write stories about me no matter how well I am doing (99.9% at the border, BEST NUMBER EVER) AND ARE TRULY THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE."
That's right, someone get me Kristi Noem on the horn. We need to ship all these crazy liberal bastards off to El Salvador.
Well, it had better be a pretty big plane.
According to their latest poll results: Rasmussen shows Trump's approval/disapproval rating stands at 47% to 51%, Quantus 47.7% to 49.8%, Economist/YouGov, 43% to 55%, RealClear Polling 46% to 51.%, and finally, the latest Fox News poll showed Donald Trump's approval rating at 44% while 55% disapproved. (On the single issue of border security, the Fox poll did show Trump above water at 55%, although the last time we checked that's nowhere near 99.9%)
Yes, the honeymoon, if there ever was one, is over for Donald Trump. It appears he overestimated the number of Americans who didn't pay any attention during their 8th grade civics class.
The bad news for Trump, however, may mean even worse news for the rest of us. At least one MSNBC contributor, Rachel Maddow, believes the tanking numbers will drive the Mango Mussolini even further down the authoritarian rabbit hole. Any normal President, under these circumstances, would take his foot off the gas. Unfortunately, as we all know far too well, this guy isn't normal--and despite what others say and he might hint at, there isn't going to be a third term.
In other words, for Donald John Trump and the twisted legacy he wants to stick us with, it is now, or never.

The challenge Trump presents to the nation has to peak sometime, and I believe that will be fairly soon. We cannot go on like we are. Between now and the mid terms, which will be coming around sooner than we now realize, he is either going to become too strong to stop, or the GOP will take a bath in congressional elections. GOP members of congress and other GOP leaders better wake up fast and smell the coffee, or they will be the first ones tossed to the curb in 2026 while their leader rides higher than ever.
