Does not matter when votes won’t happen…
They’ll surely find an excuse.
I dont know why this is relevant. Either he prevented from running, in which case this doesnt matter; OR he IS running in violation of the law, in which case this doesnt batter because if he is willing to break an established precent and law then he would not leave his third term open to chance by having free or fair elections.
Approval rating doesn’t matter if we never get to vote again and even if we do, he’s a lame duck anyway.
If he is still alive in 2028, there is no chance he allows fair and free elections, so this does not matter at all.
There’s probably not a single president that cared about approval ratings in their second term. Regardless of what they may think about a particular candidate at this point between elections, they will vote according to their needs on election Day
I would say they do care, if their ratings are down then their party is likely to win elections in the midterm. If their party is out of power in the house or senate after the midterm then the president loses power since the other party is less likely to vote in favor of things the president wants, and more likely to launch investigations into the president and administration officials.
There’s also the fact that you want your successor to be from your party because 1) it says you did a good enough job the people wanted more of the same, 2) your successor will most likely continue things you’ve started and help secure your legacy.
In the end remember that most politicians are vain power hungry people, having low poll numbers at any time could hurt their egos and their ability to wield power.
I wish I had any confidence polls meant anything to him or the GOP.
Trump is saying we are “at war” eith our own cities, cartels, and probably Venezuala sooner or later. And if we are “at war” no way to have elections right guys? I mean Ukraine did it so he can too.
The man tried to overthrow the legitimate government of the USA and Americans still elected him into office. Approval rating doesn’t mean shit.
Elections happen every 2 years. Approval polls are taken every 2 weeks. Things change.
And the voters have an even shorter term memory. Trending downward is nice, but I doubt the shit we’re dealing with now will be in most people’s mind when they vote in 2026 and 2028.
We’ll probably have worse things on our mind by then…
No shit. He probably will have nuked San Francisco or something by then.
I’m doing my best to put it there and keep it there.
great, he is not planning on their being another election so it really doesn’t matter.
I recently started following a guy on YouTube who’s answer to the doubt over whether we’ll be able to vote again is, “I’m not asking. I’m voting”. I’ve decided to adopt that mentality and I encourage others to do the same.
But he had all those “Trump 2028” hats. Surely that means he plans to run again. He wouldn’t just troll people for the sadistic glee, right?
Nah if his BK special oldddd ass body doesn’t give out on him by then he will definitely “run”…
… in a “fair” election
Pro Wrestling Style election you know how it goes.
Most Americans only care about themselves and their cost of living. It’s going up with him in office so they’ll likely swing their vote the other way yet again.
You underestimate the power of stupid
He thinks swing states will see him punish blue states, and that will motivate them to go Republican so they’re not targeted…
Instead of the rational response from anyone with a shred of empathy: stopping maga from doing it again by voting blue
Everything trump is doing is setting up a progressive Dem to win in a landslide, and neo liberals lost their death grip on the DNC, so there’s nothing to stop a progressive in the primary either.
stopping maga from doing it again by voting blue
We did that with Biden. Good thing he took his responsibility seriously and went after Trump for attempting to overthrow the government. Whoops, I guess he forgot that part of the plan.
We did that with Biden
The difference is this time we’ll have a choice who the general candidate is…
From your lips to… well I’m not religious so whatever, I guess your hips or something, but I hope this happens.
Where can I get whatever it is you’re ingesting to believe the way you do when reality is telling a much different story.
Yeah well fuck those states specifically, I hope they lose everything.
Hey man, swing states are at least trying. Go yell at Ohio or Florida. They used to be swing states and gave up.
I know the feeling, but I think the reliably Republican states are much worse.
At least those states are getting what they voted for.
What did a state that elected a statewide Democrat and a Trump president vote for, exactly?
Imagine if in the midterms the dems get supermajorities in both the house and the senate
Depends, if it’s a bunch of Sinemas and Fettermans that win then nothing would change and people will ask why they even bother voting. Leadership needs to be primaried and changed or else it’s a wasted shot.
