Summary
A Fox News host, Jessica Tarlov, highlighted Trump’s declining approval ratings, citing a new Quinnipiac poll showing 53% of voters disapprove of his second-term performance.
Trump is “underwater on everything” including economy, federal workforce management, Ukraine-Russia policy, and trade relations with Mexico and Canada.
The polling slide comes amid stock market tumbles, federal worker layoffs, and trade tensions.
Tarlov noted that Republican members of Congress are facing hostile town halls where constituents are challenging them on federal workforce cuts, including at the VA. Some Republicans have dismissed these angry constituents as “paid actors.”
What’s absolutely crazy is he just signed an EO to get rid of USAGM…
For those who don’t know, that’s basically the propaganda arm of the US government and has been for a very long time.
This is probably the most surprising thing so far for me, I really thought he’d expand that to do more work domestically to counteract all the bad press and approval loss his actions are resulting in.
Like, I get why Putin doesn’t want the rest of the world to like us, but it’s just crazy they’re getting rid of USAGM instead of just changing the propaganda it spreads.
Actually kind of relieved to see it shut down, this is a weird morning.
I’m looking at Trump as a Russian agent who was assigned to dismantle the US government. Everything he does makes sense when you look at it that way. And it’s horrifying.
LOL Russian agent, look at the conspiracy guy, don’t fall off the flat earth
Sounds like Elon is eliminating competition to his propaganda machine.
Is it crazy when they can just use companies like TruthSocial and Twitter?
Get rid of all branches and implement your own with your own swamp creatures.
I see your point, and assume the logic (if there is any) is: Why bother when Fox and Newsmax do it for profit?
