Trump Needs To Man Up and Shut Up.
So, this morning we come back from a 4-day holiday weekend with the usual bad news about Joe Biden, gleefully announced by Donald Trump, the bad news being that Joe’s poll numbers continue to slide downwards and Trump is drawing huge crowds at his rally events.
The media is carrying a story about how Joe’s latest poll numbers show that only one out of three Gallup poll respondents have ‘confidence’ in the President, which proves that Trump will blow him away in 2024.
Except the Gallup poll is not exactly what Trump claims it shows, because the approve-disapprove monthly numbers have Joe exactly where he has been since mid-2021, with his approvals in the mid-40’s and his disapprovals in the mid-50’s, but meanwhile, his approval among Democrats remains at a steady 80%.
Trump keeps ranting about the ‘ruinous’ inflation and how the economy is in ‘shambles.’ Meanwhile, what he doesn’t say on word about is how all his loyal supporters from his White House days are now trooping into Jack Smith’s Grand Jury room and singing their hearts out and trying to cut their own deals.
If you want to see where Trump is at these days from a perspective other than what Trump is saying about himself, I suggest you take a few minutes to watch a really great video posted by the comic actor Michael Rapaport last week.
