    Who the hell had an equal or lower approval rating 80 years ago? I’m surprised this doesn’t say lowest ever

    I’m so sick of hoping that…if we’re lucky the soulless MAGAts (Nazis) might turn against him this time.

    You think its bad now? Wait until all those Chinese cargo ships don’t arrive with the retail resupply in another week or two.

      And the ones arriving are coming at a premium. And it’s not only because of the value of the tariffs. There are plenty of people complaining that American companies are being required to pay imports up front because no one wants to take the risk of rejected deliveries due to surprise tariffs. This often means that American companies will need to get loans to pay for their orders, and those costs will be passed to the customers.

      I also saw posts of people saying that hospitals aren’t buying some medical equipment anymore because the sales price is locked by contracts with insurance companies and buying it from China would put them at a loss, so it’s more profitable to refuse service to patients - hurray for private healthcare ! /s

      Maybe it will. Apart from money, ratings are about the only other thing he seems to care about. This is probably chewing him up inside. This seems like the sort of news that commands his attention. The sort of thing to raise his blood pressure.

      It would be interesting if a stupid poll, the least amount of effort the public could politically participate in, becomes the straw that broke his back.

    Is it since people started measuring this or did somebody make a worse government there 80 years ago?
