Unlike most times this affects people’s pocketbooks- the only real political motivation.
Approval still rides at 37%, which is pretty decent given the amount of turmoil that has been unleashed

#52Trump agreed to the MoU saying it's allies would stop attacks, including in Lebanon. Israel continues to bomb it. It's up to Trump to put pressure on Israel to stop in order to make good on his deal. It's no surprise this is instantly falling apart - Trump promised something he couldn't deliver. We can only hope that he does eventually put enough pressure on Israel to stop.

He's not really up for re-election, so I'm not sure what approval numbers have to do with it
> He's not really up for re-election, so I'm not sure what approval numbers have to do with it As an outsider, it seems the US midterm elections are a couple of months from now. If republicans lose, Donald Trump will most likely be impeached for all the mind numbingly high-level corruption and involvement in a pedophile ring.

That tracks. My rule of thumb is that political topics have a 33% group that will never budge and the remaining 4-5% accounts for the lizard man constant[1]. 1. https://www.spencergreenberg.com/2024/07/the-lizardmans-cons...

You have to multiply by the Lead-Poisoning coefficient for all events taking place in the 1970s.

#58Iran has figured out it can make the US president look like an idiot over and over at relatively low cost to themselves, since they're already so thoroughly excluded from the rest of the world.
Well you can definitely crack Donald Trump's image but when it comes to the loss, most of the loss will be borne by common people. Oil prices will once again rise markets once again fall and AI is already taking jobs. Inflation will rise along with unemployment and bad times are coming. This is happening mostly because of the foolishness of Trump.
