O/T:- Trump Presidency 2.0 [hic sunt dracones]

[Lullapie]

It appears Trump is running scared after democrat James Malone looks to have won a seat in the Senate by overturning a 15 point lead from the election. Elise Stefaniks was Trumps choice for UN ambassador but he as withdrawn her nomination because he can't afford to risk losing another seat.
Maybe the American people are starting to realise what a disaster Trump is.

Not sure though. Gallup is certainly no friend of Trump, but they report that 'Trump's approval rating has ticked up in his second term', with the latest poll released today.

The main demographic that is hard anti-Trump (within the US) are the university post-graduate females. They have the most to lose (apart from Transgender and illegal immigrants) with Trump's drive to reform the government departments. They make up the greatest percentage of employees within the higher echelons of government managers.

It's also a common factor in new governments that take over from previous failing administrations that they have a 'new government bounce', as soon as they are elected and there is a new feeling of hope. Then when reality kicks in how bad the country has been run prior, some, who expect it to be fixed straight away, start to waiver.

The UK with Starmer and closer to my home, New Zealand with Luxon, have suffered a similar decline in polling. They can't fix years of decline over night, but Trump has definitely acted faster than many other leaders.

You are massively oversimplifying your look at the US. It's a real mixed-bag. I travel to California a fair bit and it's not just the 'university post-graduate females' that dislike him - he is despised by all demographics.

Many Americans know Trump and his cronies are risking all the power (both hard and soft) the US have built up over many years around the world by playing this strong-man nonsense. The US rely on global trade in a massive way and he is missing the point and it will be extremely costly to everyone.

These figures are awful given how many people actually voted for him a few moths ago.

9% of Republicans think he's not doing a good job

But have Trump's actions started to fix years of decline, or will they lead to more years of decline?

It seems that the Beatles invasion of the USA would not happen now, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ained-deported

I have heard of one person who was offered a number of gigs in the US following a successful SxSW festival and has since been advised by his agent, along with others, not to travel there again under the current climate.
