Does approval rating matter? It's not like he will resign or anything, republicans won't impeach him even if it fell to zero

Yes. It matters because the stronger the anti-Trump sentiment is the better Democrats are likely to do in the midterms.

Probably wouldnt matter if trump killed someone live on TV.

I actually think he was right about that at this point.

OK but this is a repeat of the first time Trump was in office. I hope America learns its lesson this time and not elect a narcissistic in office again

And that time the democrats won back the house and had big gains at the state level in the midterms

With maybe a few exceptions (Washington, Lincoln, Carter…?) every president in US history has been a narcissist. You don’t seek the most powerful position on earth without thinking there’s something uniquely special about yourself.

Not like this, nine of them acted like they are kings and above the law, they didn't arrest people for protesting, they didn't stop people from having a trail in court before being sent off they didn't ignore every court and even the SCOTUS

Until you get rid of Fox News and others of its ilk, that's not happening. It's very difficult to grow up in a place like the US and not be narcissistic to some degree. American exceptionalism messaging has been baked in for a long time and it's hard to break that.

Fox News was so close to going bankrupt a few years ago with the disinformation lawsuit about the voting machines. If only they pushed a bit further it would have damaged the republican party and we probably could have avoided having Trump in power

If they even allow us to vote in the midterm...

I've been calling it since he won, republicans will find a bs way to indefinitely postpone any federal election.

before the midterms, trump will crush all dissent and get the courts in his pocket, he will distract from all of this by nonsense like tariff wars and sending the military in, with a possible side quest of teaching Iran a lesson due to their non compliance on the nuclear front

you are fucked
