For Once?
Donald You ARE Right…..
In the piece below he names a list of things UNBELIEVEABLE….
He’s Right….
Most of America (30%+) do NOT believe in the things he’s been doing despite his beliefs….
President Trump touted his power in his second go-around in the White House Saturday while rallying in Kentucky to bolster Republican turnout as his party struggles in the midterms, saying, “I can do stuff that is unbelievable.”
Mr. Trump, who spoke in the city of Highland Heights to boost Republican candidates, including Ed Gallrein for the U.S. House, was riffing on his decision to change how the U.S. government refers to the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
“I don’t think I could have done this in my first term. This is a much more powerful term,” Mr. Trump said. “Google wouldn’t have taken my call in the first. Now, they kiss my ass.”
“Well, I also changed the name of a lake in Canada to the Lake America,” he continued, referring to Lake Ontario.
Mr. Trump’s self-proclaimed power is set against voter frustration with how he’s wielded it, with tariffs and the Iran war driving up prices and more Americans seeing the president looking out for his own interests and not those of the country.
With control of both chambers of Congress on the line, and with it the prospects of Democratic-led investigations of his administration should they win, Mr. Trump has put himself at the fore for voters even as Republicans privately worry he’s a liability.
Mr. Trump nominated one of his personal lawyers to serve as attorney general, ordered military strikes on accused drug-smuggling boats, is trying to put his name on the Kennedy Center, and has enriched himself and his family while he’s been in office….
…
President Trump is carrying his insatiable appetite for controversy into the most unforgiving stretch of the electoral calendar, fortified by a decade of political survival.
- “Bottom line, it’s gonna all work out. You know why? It always does,” Trump told reporters this week.
Why it matters: Gone are the days of a single “October surprise,” swallowed by a familiar barrage of scandals, provocations and shattered conventions that have persisted in the closing weeks of Trump’s final midterm election.
The big picture: Axios has documented Trump’s steady demolition of presidential norms in his second term, from the transition through his first 100 days and first year in office.
- This year, even the threat of losing Congress — and with it, much of his ability to pursue his agenda over the next two years — has done little to temper the pace or audacity of Trump’s presidency….
…
Between the lines: Trump has spent a decade defying political gravity. But the economic strength that helped insulate him during his first term has given way to a deepening crisis of public confidence.
- A Fox News poll released Wednesday put Trump’s approval at 36% — his lowest in either presidency — including a devastating 22% for his handling of inflation.
- In the same Fox poll, government corruption narrowly surpassed inflation as the issue drawing the most extreme concern from voters.
The bottom line: Trump is treating a moment of maximum political vulnerability like business as usual, betting that the instincts that carried him this far won’t fail him now….
