Summary
Trump’s approval rating dropped to 43%, the lowest since his January return to office, amid backlash over new tariffs and a mishandled military strike disclosure.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll found only 37% approve of his economic leadership, and 34% support his foreign policy.
A majority view his tariff hikes as harmful, while 74% criticized the use of Signal to discuss a Yemen operation.
The poll, conducted online with 1,486 adults, showed bipartisan concern and a 2-point decline since March, reflecting rising unease over Trump’s policies.
Impeachment is easy, relatively speaking. A simple majority of the House can impeach Trump as they did twice in his last term. I believe the number is 7, of 220 Republicans in the house, would need to vote to impeach.
Getting a trial in the Senate to convict and remove, which requires a two thirds vote, would need about 20 Republicans, of 53 to vote to convict. I can’t imagine what would need to happen for that to occur. And even if it does, JD Vance is sworn in by Roberts as POTUS? I guess that means we’re in a world where Republicans think that’s better in some significant group.
I honestly see them 25th-ing Donny Dementia before that ever happens
