Funny story.
When Trump 'wrote' his book "The Art Of The Deal" he gave his ghost writer full cover credit and half the profits. The writer has never stopped talking about how stupid Trump is.

I had to do a double-take on the fact that Trump's approval rating has been steadily improving since the beginning of January. Jesus fuck people are ignorant. I guess I shouldn't be surprised with the wealth inequality, the media consolidation, the education standards the way they are...
The fact that his approval rating still exists after that first term shows that he can do whatever he wants and his followers will still support him. It's a cult, nothing will change that.
The best ratings you can buy!
You have to stop and think, where are they getting the data? I'm not even sure if you call it confirmation bias, or journalists with guns to their heads.
Whenever I think "man, the people around me can't be that stupid right?" Then I get in my car and drive around for about 15 minutes and realize that yes in fact they are that stupid.
Thats what happens when the average joe gets his news from Xitter or Fox News. They get rid of all critical thinking skills for the sake of owning the libs and freeze peach.
Trump could literally burn down their studio and Fox news would still spin it like “The democrats would have done even worse”
I had a conservative admit they receive the the bulk of their news from Twitter, and Tim Pool. But simultaneously exclaims without evidence that AP/Reuters are not to be trusted. JFC.
I think that's all about who's doing the polling and how they are doing it: https://abcnews.go.com/538/trump-approval-polling-average-works/story?id=117999010
Approval ratings tend to go up as people fear to speak against their oppressor.

Trump's so stupid that it has alleviated any sense of imposter syndrome for me, and it should for you if you have it too.
He still has more drive than me. Really, I cannot do anything :<

My question: was the whole Canada / Mexico thing just a smoke screen for the newly increased China tariffs?
At 10%? I don't think so.

Real question here… I keep seeing people say this, but what are the concessions that Canada and Mexico “gave” that they were already doing? I couldn’t find anyone mention it in the post.
Basically appointing an investigator for fentanyl smuggling for Canada and sending troops to the northern border for Mexico.

Yeah but he still frames it as a win. That's the problem. Loose goals so he can frame anything as a win and his supporters don't think twice (or once for that matter)
Trump is such a coward. He can't commit to anything he says. I thought actually implementing the tariffs was the goal? What about that whole schtick on eliminating income taxes with tariff revenue? Do people just dream big on Trump's pie-in-the-sky fantasies, get on board, and then get brought back down to reality and conveniently forget all that big talk only to still have the audacity to call it a fucking W? The threat of the tariffs accomplished nothing. Trump is incompetent beyond belief.
They have replaced their god with trump. Trump did it therefore it was good. Trump criticised it therefore it was bad. You're asking them to retain information and think logically and critically about it instead of cheering on their lying and very false god. All the statistics say that support for right wingers drops off heavily the more education you have. His supporters aren't the smart cookies. They like what he says and they like how he says it and he never tells them they're stupid. They're not fact checking him, that's what libs do. They're not libs, they're red blooded Americans. Trump can absolutely do no wrong in their eyes.
This is the real TDS.
