Buyer's remorse. Here's the thing, once it kicks it in, it never goes away. The fridge you hope would be perfect? Once it's not, that's it. You don't regrade it higher months from now. Nothing makes you like it more. Other defects may make you hate it even more. Buyers remorse is kicking in with Donald Chump. Tom Boggioni reports:
With
Donald Trump having six months under his belt in his second term, some
independent voters who decided to give him a second shot at the Oval
Office have mixed feelings about what has transpired, according to a report from NBC News.
According
to the Friday report, several of those who voted for the president are
grossly unhappy that he has yet to keep some of his promises.
One voter, identified only as Jorge, is definitely regretting his vote.
According to Janice Dunn, 82, of North Carolina, she is "disappointed" with the president so far.
“He
said he was gonna get gas down, he was gonna get groceries down. Now he
put tariffs on half the stuff we buy and things are going up, up, up. I
feel like a lot of his plans are backfiring," she told NBC.
The honeymoon is over. The bloom is off the rose. Buyer's remorse sets in. Call it whatever you like, Or just Blood, Sweat and Tears it with 'what goes up, must come down.' Midterms are 15 months away. Chump is revealed as an idiot with the economy tanking. Chump is revealed as a liar with each passing day as he works to serve the rich and betray the poor, the working class and the middle class. Big bucks Ghislaine Maxwell may have been convicted of pedophilia and sex trafficking but he just moved her to a 'lighter' prison in Texas. He's toying with pardoning her and with pardoning P Diddy. This week, he entertained at the White House with pedophile Lawrence Taylor at his side. The real Chump is emerging in the eyes of the people.
At THE HILL, John Mac Ghlionn frets:
Some compromises cost more than they’re worth, no matter the short-term gain. Letting Ghislaine Maxwell walk free is one of them. Her freedom wouldn’t just taint Trump’s legacy. It would corrode the moral backbone of the entire conservative movement. If the right claims to stand for justice, for protecting children, for confronting corruption at the highest levels, then this is the line that cannot be crossed.
President
Donald Trump's second term "honeymoon" is over, a YouGov analyst has
said in the wake of the latest polling, which revealed his disapproval
rating has increased.
According to the YouGov
polling forBritish paper The Times, the proportion of people who
disapprove of Trump's job performance has increased from 52 percent in
April to 57 percent in July.
Reacting to this polling, analyst for YouGov Mark Blumenthal said: "The honeymoon at the beginning has gone."
A
new survey by the Latino outreach firm Equis shows alarming numbers for
President Donald Trump among a voting group critical to the GOP's
strategy — but it doesn't necessarily mean good news for Democrats.
Latino
voters, who constitute one of the most diverse ethnic groups in the
United States, have historically been a Democratic-leaning group, and
remain so. But a growing contingent has backed Republicans in the last
few years, and Trump winning a large minority proved crucial to his
popular vote plurality last year.
But Trump's healthy numbers among Latino voters have cratered in recent polls, and the latest provides new evidence.
The
new survey, noted Equis research director Caitlin Jury, shows that
"Latinos are facing significant everyday economic challenges, and are
looking for relief in the places they feel the squeeze the most, from
groceries to healthcare. They’re losing faith in Trump as a good
businessman and in his ability to handle the economy."
Furthermore,
she said, they "favor increasing taxes for billionaires and big
corporations over cutting social programs as a way to offset spending –
precisely the opposite of the Trump administration’s approach."
Breaking
down the data more granularly, the survey revealed: "Fewer Latinos
approve of Trump’s job now (35%, to 63% disapprove) than in Equis
polling from May (38%, to 60% disapprove)," and that "A lesser share of
Latino Trump voters are set on voting for Republicans in 2026 than
Latino Harris voters are on supporting Democrats in the midterm (67% vs.
86%). The former is driven by some switching (8% of Trump voters say
they’ll vote for a Democrat) and lots of uncertainty (20% undecided)."
A
new poll shows Donald Trump underwater on the issue of his tariff
agenda just as the president announced a new wave of levies affecting
dozens of countries.
On Thursday night, Trump
signed an executive order that sets new tariffs on U.S. trading partners
that are due to go into effect on August 7. Canada is one of the
countries hardest hit, facing an increased rate of 35 percent.
However,
while Trump has been gung-ho on threatening other nations with stiffer
levies, it would seem voters are not so convinced it is the right
approach. Trump won a second term in November boosted by the same issues
that propelled him to victory the first time around. Concerns over
immigration and the economy were at the forefront of voters' minds,
though he received a key boost from the implosion of Joe Biden’s
campaign.
A Times of
London/YouGov poll out Thursday said the president’s tariff agenda is
one of the biggest anchors driving down his approval numbers.
And the economy is in the toilet. Paul Davidson (USA TODAY) reported Friday:
U.S. employers added a disappointing 73,000 jobs in July as payroll growth slowed amid President Donald Trump's sweeping import tariffs, intensifying immigration crackdown and massive federal layoffs.
Even
more concerning: Job gains for May and June were revised down by a
whopping 258,000, portraying a much weaker labor market than believed in
late spring and early summer and raising the odds the Federal Reserve
will cut interest rates in September.
And with the truth out there and Chump exposed, the Convicted Felon responded by firing the person in charge of compiling the statistics. Robert McCoy (THE NEW REPUBLIC) notes:
Trump on Friday proved that fears about the president
manipulating official data in his favor are founded, as he fired Erika
McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, due to a
disappointing July jobs report.
The bureau’s report, released earlier in the day, showed a marked slowdown
in job growth. It also revised previous months’ gains downward, shaving
nearly 260,000 jobs off May’s and June’s report. Reacting to the news,
Trump adviser Steve Bannon suggested appointing “a MAGA Republican that President Trump knows and trusts” to head the BLS.
