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.”

    When the UK last had a moron setting everything on fire she was outlasted by a lettuce.

    Americans need to up their game.

      Sadly the US system is not designed to oust the president that easily. It would be a first if Trump was removed from office due to the impeachment process, removing the prime minister is a much lower bar.

        Impeachment should theoretically work but when the system was put in place it didn’t account for an entire political party turning fascist

          Impeachment should and still would work, my point was its a higher threshold than most processes to replace the PM in the UK.

          It actually did, the south was entirely fascist for it’s entire existence, they literally designed the system so the south could always veto the rest of the country combined no matter what, hence the 3/5 compromise giving them power in the house and the structure of the senate.
