The terrorist should heed President Trump’s words as he means what he said.

Maybe he means what he says.   Maybe he does not believe he is incompetent.  But Trump  is still a failure.   That is why he was fired in 2018 and 2020.

Why did Trump promise to close the border, and instead give us a massive spike in fentanyl trafficking?

Why do you feel an almost 50 % rise in drug overdose deaths -  TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DEAD AMERICANS THANKS TO DONALD TRUMP AND TOM HOMAN - is a success worth repeating?

The irony is that Trump's margin of victory was young men who were kids when he was President from 2017 to 2020.  That is why they don't think of him as a failure.   They weren't paying attention while he failed miserably.  So now they will have to lean that hard way.  Young men are primary victims of fentanyl overdose.

incompetent

Yes.   Trump is incompetent.   That is why he was fired in 2020 by a much wider margin than Biden - 7 million votes.

Trump's favorability ratings in a new YouGov poll are telling, in terms of how he managed to win despite his failure and incompetence.

His overall favorable rating in this poll is 48 % favorable, 47 % unfavorable.   That's good for Trump.  Basically, he is viewed the best when he is not actually governing.

Here's how that 48 % breaks down by age groups:

30-44  olds:  44 % favorable, 48 % unfavorable

45-64 year olds:  49 % faborable, 48 % unfavorable

65+ year olds:  46 % favorable, 52 % unfavorable

So far, those ratings are no surprise. In almost any poll since 2016, Trump will do best among people in their 40's and 50's - the Gen X generation that came of age under Reagan and leans right of center.

But how can Trump have a 48 % favorable rating with numbers like that? Even a cruel liar like @EmmetKruelty should be able to figure out that Trump is net unfavorable with voters over 30, who remember Trump 1.0 as a disaster.

Here's the answer:

18 to 29 year olds:  52 % favorable, 40 % unfavorable

That is Trump's margin of victory right there.  Young voters under 30.   We don't know this for sure yet.  But it is almost certain that they tend to be young male voters.  And they tend to be young male voters who don't regularly vote, or pay attention to politics.  They pay attention to the Nelk Boys, more likely.

I give Trump credit.   He is an absolute political whore in the way Bill Clinton is, but Kamala Harris - or Hillary Clinton - are not.  So he went out and found some young Canadian guy who has millions of followers because he is good at pranks.   That's sure what we need to end fentanyl trafficking, isn't it?

The sad thing that fits perfectly is that the TRUMP IS AWESOME Nelk Boys video that probably did help him win starts with ..................... wait for it ................................... a pitch for online sports betting.  Which is a disaster for .............................. wait for it ............................................... younger working class men who lose a shit load of money.  There's actually been studies that show young men who do sports betting are more likely to beat women out of anger when they lose.

It all just fits with Trump, doesn't it?

Trump's narrow victory depends on "Nelk Boys", generically.  Young men who have no clue how badly he failed as POTUS, and like the "bro vote" vibe.  It's like a prank to lots of them.   Ha ha.  We sure showed the bitch, didn't we?  Wonder how long this can last when the Trump incompetence and Trump failure start again?

Trump's failure and incompetence turned off the voters who actually lived through his Presidency as adults.  Now young men under 30 get their turn.

Getting back to the original post. the lunatic fringe still hasn't recovered from the election. They called Trump every name in the book. They recruited as many leftist low-talent Hollywood B-listers to trash him. Yet he survived the assassination attempts, and he survived the verbal assaults. This election must have been a field day for Hollywood psychologists and therapists... Lol.

I give Joe and Mika credit. After 4 years of trashing Trump, they got on their hands and knees and groveled for a meeting with Trump at Mar-A-Lago. Trump was magnanimous and agreed to give them an audience with him for 30 minutes. I wouldn't have given them 30 seconds.

The only pardon I'm aware of is the one that Dementia Joe gave to his crooked, felon son.
And it was Dementia Joe biden, who allowed 20+million illegals to cross the border. HE destroyed this country, and only Donald Trump, with his planned mass deportation, can fix it.

Look at the cabinet President Trump is putting together. Not one weak link. Trump was dragged through hell fire for eight straight years. He is not the same man that came down the golden elevator in 2016. He is a battle-hardened warrior, with a bullet hole in his ear. He now fully grasps the severity of our situation. Give him some time. He hasn't even been sworn in yet.
He will bring America into the Golden Age!

CNN Poll: Most Approve of Trump Transition Handling

https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25452471/cnn-poll-on-trump-transition.pdf

According to a new CNN poll, 55% of Americans approve of how President-elect Donald Trump is handling the presidential transition and 54% expect him to do a good job when he returns to the Oval Office on Jan. 20.

It's worth noting that his support is higher than his share of the popular vote. That shows that the momentum continues to build for his second term. And each new policy success will be met by another surge in support. This is an exciting time for America.

Sweetie, in four years, you and I will be celebrating our 3-year wedding anniversary. Hopefully Little EmmetK will be running in the backyard with our 2 puppies - Melania and Donald.

By that time, the new multi-racial, multi-ethnic coalition that elected President Trump will be in full gear getting the Constitution changed to allow President Trump to serve a third, and even a fourth term. 
America will be in its Golden Age.

If you plan on boarding the Trump train, you must remember that DJT is referred to as President Trump or Mr. President.

CNBC Poll: 54 Percent Say They're 'Comfortable' With Trump

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/15/majorities-in-poll-give-trump-green-light-for-some-controversial-policies.html

A majority of Americans say they are "comfortable and prepared to support" President-elect Donald Trump, especially when it comes to dealing with the economy and migrant crisis, according to a new CNBC survey.

With 54% saying they are "comfortable and prepared to support" only 41% say they are not comfortable.

There is no comparison....Biden is toilet scrapings and the worst, most destructive president in our history, Trump is one of our best proven by the democrats, other fringe-dwelling lunatics by constantly harassing, making up BS, attempting to put Trump in jail, most people have come to recognize this fact.

After the hell we’ve been through for four years I don’t think that there’s that many Democrats that aren’t ecstatically happy that Joe Biden and Obama are gone!!

The majority of Americans are on board the Trump train. More will follow.

Self-loathing and possibly autistic @EmmetKruelty has a problem with facts, and human relationships.  Especially relationships with Gay men who do not idolize Gay bashing alcoholics who attack LGBTQ rights.  He's worse than anti-Homo Hegseth, who at least has a life. And three wives he possibly cheated on, so far.

Here's what @EmmetKruelty did not mention.  Either because he detests facts that don't fit with his weird idolization.  Or he just does not understand them.

Quote

Overall, the survey found that 54% of the public are “comfortable and prepared to support” Trump as president. That’s down 2 points from when he took office in 2016. Some 41% are not comfortable, up 5 points from 2016.

Quote

So, despite having won the popular vote in this election compared with 2016, Trump takes office for the second time with somewhat less net support in the poll.

That is an important fact that self-loathing and possibly autistic @EmmetKruelty seems incapable of processing.  No surprise, people are actually slightly less trusting of Trump than during his 2016 post-election honeymoon.  Geez.  Wonder why? 

Poor @EmmetKruelty doesn't have a clue.  He exhibits the same disturbing and mentally skewed behaviors that cause people to worry about Trump. 

I am praying to God that Trump is NOT like @EmmetKruelty.  I hope he actually gets shit done that helps people.  Like how about child tax credits rather than billionaire tax cuts?  How about he convinces war criminal Bibi The Baby Killer to seek peace with Palestinians, rather than genocide?

So I think there probably is a 54 % "mandate for Trump to do "effective" things that people actually like.  If you define "mandate" that way, I'd be in THAT 54 %.  But not the 54 % that sick self-loathing @EmmetKruelty has a hard on for, based on cruelty and Gay-basing by drunk assholes like Hegseth.  @EmmetKruelty gets no credit for Trump's win, and all the credit for the same cruelty and incompetence and fact free bullshit that will possibly lead Trump 2.0 to fail, just like Trump 1.0 did.

Doug Schoen had an interesting but somewhat vague article about new polling that seems to hit at the same idea:  effectiveness, as opposed to trust.

Quote

Among independents, the discrepancy is even more pronounced, underscoring this voting bloc’s desire for an effective government over one that is trustworthy.  

By a 13-point margin (39 percent to 26 percent), independents said they are less — rather than more — trusting of government following the election. And by a similar 11-point margin (39 percent to 28 percent), they feel less — rather than more — confident that the government will share fair and accurate information going forward.  

Quote

However, at the same time, by a 10-point margin (39 percent to 29 percent), independents believe the Trump administration will be more effective at getting things done going forward. 

I think that sums up what is going on.  With the key word being "effective".  Republicans seem to do better when they can convince people government sucks, and is not to be trusted.  So why not let us smash it to bits with alcoholic anti-Gay womanizers?  But that is too blunt a conclusion.  Because at the same time people actually did vote for Trump to do things effectively.  And breaking the nation's military with a drunk anti-Gay alcoholic was not the plan.

The plan does include lowering prices, and controlling the border.  I'm happy to give new Trump appointees a chance to prove themselves, as I think a majority are.  But when you rehire Tom Homan, who spectacularly failed to control the border and created a huge spike in fentanyl deaths of Americans, what I am supposed to think?  When you rehire Peter Navarro, who killed hundreds of thousands of factory jobs in Trump 1.0, what am I supposed to think?

108076032-1734128807725-22294151_DIGITAL

108076034-1734128852890-22294152_DIGITAL

I'm actually surprised how few areas there are where Trump has a real green light.  Controlling the border is obviously one.  So is "cutting my taxes".  Wow.  What a shocker!  Cutting government waste is an endlessly popular but meaningless idea, since no one wants to cut government stuff I like.  This bodes poorly for Trump's billionaire and corporate tax cuts.  When you ask THAT question directly, people recoil from helping fat cats more.   Even drilling for more oil, which was one of Trump's most popular ideas (child tax credits was one of Harris's more popular ideas) does not poll particularly well.

When you get to the "revenge and retribution" agenda, like pardoning Jan. 6 insurrectionists, support evaporates completely.

Same with tariffs.  Trump's biggest 49.9 % "mandate" is to lower prices and control the border.  Tariffs don't lower prices.  Appointing a cruel and incompetent failure like Tom Homan, who let fentanyl rip, does not control the border.

@EmmetKruelty has a basic problem with facts.  These facts don't bode particularly well for Trump.  He won't have much of a honeymoon.  

Joe Biden's approval rating, out of the gate in January 2017, was 56 %.  We don't know where that is for Trump yet, since he is not POTUS yet.  We do know his favorable rating on RCP is 49 %, a few points above his initial job approval rating of 47 % in January 2017.

So Trump is on a very short leash.  The best way for him to fuck things up is to do what self-loathing and possibly autistic @EmmetKruelty would like him to do.  If he instead lowers prices, grows the economy, and finds someone who is not incompetent and cruel to control the border, maybe he could have a job approval rating of 50 %.  We'll see.

Theres no point fretting about the Trump 2.0 Presidency because "Trump is gonna do what Trump wants to do", regardless of its ethics, legality or popularity.   He is hell bent on NOT allowing anything or anyone stand in his way, this time.

Therefore, my biggest fear is that there wont be any transparency, with Trump barricading freedom of speech with threats and frivolous lawsuits and barring anyone from releasing anything negative or critical about Trump or his brand from public perception.   Trump is determined to hide any bad act or activity from public knowledge.  This is the most dangerous aspect of his Presidency, that he will be doing everything in the dark and behind the curtain.

Mine too.   

Trump is a narcissist and pathological liar.  So it is always a fight between Trump v. Trump.  Or, you could say, between the adults in the room, which would now include Susie Wiles, versus the man children like Steve Bannon and Pete Hegseth.   Trump loves to play them against each other.  And fire them when they disobey or he just gets bored.

If Trump could be King, it would resolve the problem.  But I think he knows he can't be King.  Although he will keep testing the limits.  If only he were born in Russia!

So it's going to be a constant struggle.  Geez.  Somebody should have warned us, right?  😉

If you can stand 14 minutes of News Nation and Bill O'Reilly, I think this covered some of the turf vert well:

This video is about King Trump seeking political retribution, as opposed to King Trump suppressing freedom or transparency.  But they all fall into the basket of Trump being Bad King Trump.

Trump is a feral political animal who can read polls.  And if he forgets, he seems to be willing to let people like Susie Wiles remind him.  So part of the reason Trump won is there is NOT a majority of Americans who really think Trump will be Bad King Trump.  There's a very clean 48/47 split in that poll about whether these things Trump says should even be taken seriously.  That means they have to kind of forget about January 6th,  Because that is the clearest example of Bad King Trump.   

What is clear is that there is not a lot of tolerance for things like jailing his political opponents.  If he is Bad King Trump, there will be an overwhelming reaction against it.  If Trump instead focuses on the border, in a manner that is actually competent, he'll get a much more positive reaction.

I don't know where @EmmetKruelty falls on the autism spectrum.  But we know he is in the far low end of the extremism spectrum.  Only 22 % of voters, the crusty MAGA base, would not be bothered if Trump sought retribution on his political opponents.  This is why @EmmetKruelty has a real problem with facts, and human relationships.   He does not understand that Gay men don't like the idea of a Gay basher taking away hard won LGBTQ rights.  @EmmetKruelty actually loves the threats, and anti-Homo Hegseth gets him hard.  In public.  Here.  It really is quite embarrassing.

I think O'Reilly is right that Trump will disavow retribution, as he already has several times.  Meanwhile, he will seek retribution wherever he thinks he can get away with it.  Like with ABC and Ann Selzer.  It will be intended to have, and will have, a chilling effect on freedom of speech.

O'Reilly is also right that Trump is appointing a band of merry cock suckers, where getting down on your knees to kiss it is far more importance than competence.  That in itself suggests there will be less transparency.  Because he will be surrounded by people who value loyalty above all else.

But therein lies the rub for Trump.  I am actually rooting for anti-Homo Pete Hegseth to be confirmed.  It's probably 50/50 whether he will be.  And I don't like at all to think about the consequences, for Gays or for the military.  That said, I don't like to think about the consequences of Trump 2.0, period.  So if they want to wage a holy war for loyalty and get an anti-Gay womanizing alcoholic to fuck up the Dept. of Defense, let them.  Anti-Homo Hegseth will be surrounded by all kinds of people, some of whom might be Gay, prepared to expose his every fuck up.  

Trump, like @EmmetKruelty, has a real problem restraining his cruelty and bullying.  So the other consequence of Hegseth being in charge, as opposed to someone like Jim Tillis or Mark Esper, is he will reinforce and encourage all Trump's worst behaviors.  Anti-Homo Hegseth, while undesirable, is likely a path to Trump failing quicker.

I think Mark Halperin is right about one very important thing.  Trump wants to be remembered as a consequential and effective President.  So, on the one hand, he is capable of actually listening to be pragmatists like Susie Wiles.  He is also capable of listening to Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth, which has already ended badly for him. 

The process is self-corrective.  It is democracy.  And I don't think Trump can end it.  Trying to, like more Jan. 6th, will just expedite the end of Trump instead.

Except it hasnt.  The things that would normally DOOM a Presidincy have had no affect on Trump.  To the contrary, each indiscretion and trangression has only made him stronger and more popular.  so putting your eggs in THAT basket, that his 2.0 failures will end him is not a bet I would make.  Now for Hegseth, I would normally agree with you, to let him pass thru IF we werent talking about the Defense Dept and military.  Those departments are responsible for OUR protection and safety, and I am NOT willing to gamble with those.  If it were HUD, who the fuck cares ?   But there are just certain lines too risky to cross.
