    The last tanker of oil was said to have reached port a couple days ago. Our buffer is gone. Let’s see what happens. Will paper prices meet the real price? What about food prices? Next month should be interesting.

    New lows/highs in polling are definitely worth reporting, but we also shouldn’t overinterpret individual polls. Nate Silver’s approval tracker still has Trump at 39.3% approval, just below the 40% line.

    So what I’m trying to say is: It’s still much much worse than y’all think. High costs of living, cruelty towards immigrants and non-white citizens, blatant corruption, wars, and all that together doesn’t even move the needle that much.

    The bar has fallen hasn’t it? Dubya had a lower rating and he at least handled himself with more decorum than Trump even has the capacity for. This 33 needs to drop below 20.

    Who, exactly, is shocked by these numbers? Even Tucker Carlson is flipping.

    You know you’ve fucked up as a republican when even Tucker won’t back you anymore. I mean, that dude is the lowest of lowlifes and even he is like yo man this is too far…

    33% of Americans are so fucking stupid. They’re happy to hurt themselves knowing that democrats will also be hurt. It’s weird and sick.

    Catholics leaving the church because they follow that shitgibbon over the friggin POPE is insane. Really shows they didn’t read that book they kept waving at everyone…

    Only 33% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s overall job performance, down slightly from 38% last month.

    Say wha? That’s not slightly. That’s a massive drop and breaking the barrier.

    That’s worse than Carter’s low by 4 pts and outside the MoE.

      Who could have possibly seen this coming for trump?

      That’s worse than Carter’s low by 4 pts and outside the MoE.

      Carter’s lowest approval rating was received with the arrival of *checks notes* military unrest in Iran. Simply impossible for trump to have see this coming as trump is completely ignorant of history.

        Funnily enough, there are reports that after that F-15 went down, Trump had to be removed from the situation room because he got so panicky. And he was very specifically freaking out about the idea that this was going to be his version of the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. So in this particular case he at least has some vague recollection of history (easier when you actually lived through it). It just wasn’t enough to stop him bumbling face first into a total shitshow, because Trump is, above all else, unbelievably arrogant. He thought he could solve the Iran problem where every other president had failed, at least in his mind. Never mind that Obama made huge progress on Iran and then Trump was the one that tore up his deal.

    There’s always a lag in polling though. He only just ordered that McDonalds door dash a week ago.

    Of the economy. I’m sure his loyal ~38% is still in there overall, minus a blip for the gas prices.
