Summary
Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any newly elected U.S. president since World War II, except for himself in 2017.
While his immigration policies and government downsizing have support, controversial moves—like ending birthright citizenship and renaming the Gulf of Mexico—face strong opposition.
Economic concerns, particularly rising prices, remain a major issue for voters.
Analysts say Trump’s popularity will likely hinge on broader economic and immigration policies, with potential political consequences for Republicans in the 2026 elections.
It’s not even the businessman thing though. That is just a smokescreen for the fact that he is racist. Mark Cuban is objectively a 50x better capitalist businessman than trump ever was. He campaigned for Harris and all of the “strong businessmen best” people completely did a 180.
It is 100% only hatred and wanting certain people to die and every single other thing they say they care about is a smokescreen as proven by their own actions. Like how now the price of everything suddenly doesn’t matter, because the “right” people are getting hurt.
Just like how DOGE doesn’t actually go after inefficiencies like the extremely corrupt and inefficient military contractor sector but instead goes for things that hurt black people more like school lunches for 6 year olds.
Perhaps this isn’t related to DOGE, but the White House memo also threw the defense industry in a lot of uncertainty over military-related grants possibly getting cut. It’s more likely collateral damage than intentional, though.
True, but that would more likely be affecting military grants involving veteran care like paying for veterens to go to university, job placement programs, etc… They have been itching to do that for a while in between saying “we support the troops”
