Trump still has higher approval ratings than Biden did. This doesn’t make any difference to trump or his cult.

For now, Trump is going through his honeymoon, although the polls seem to indicate that it is coming to an end.

With what he plans to do to the USPS, Medicare and Medicaid, and social security? It's gonna be nuts. I'm sure he will settle in on around 30%.

Those are the diehard until he comes for the guns.

If Trump destroys Medicare and Medicaid, I think Medicare for All could be put in place.

I am optimistic that this will happen, remember that Trump will be cursed by the second term, which will lead to many controversies. Also, the itch of the 6 years in which the ruling party normally loses seats in Congress.

The last time a president was dumb enough to try wide tariffs, republicans lost 55% of the seats they controlled in Congress. Like, that’s “pass Amendments” levels bad for Trump.

Welcome back 73rd, 74th and 75th United States Congress.

In case it ever happens
