How often have we heard that type of NYPost/Grassley/Comer/Jordan etc... B.S.? That's hilarious! FD-1023 anyone? 🤣 BTW, where are the untruncated emails?

Storm in a tea cup..😆.

You're making stuff up again. Who wrote that 2 weeks was too short or too long? No one!

It seems you are confusing "bring prices down" with lower inflation rate. Groceries prices did not decrease, contrary to Trump's promise. It's just that they increase a bit less than before. 🙂 Actually, food inflation is at 2.9%. The only reason for the bit lower inflation rate is the decrease of gas price, which is not caused by the U.S. The main reason is the increase of production decided last year by SA and OPEC, in order to regain market shares. The other is the decreasing demand related to lower GDP growth rates globally. https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/food-inflation-in-the-united-states/#google_vignette I forgot eggs! Prices decreased compared to the peak caused by bird flu, but it's at around the same level as when Trump and Vance campaigned about it. So it's also a failed promise.

Trade deals may not be free trade deals. It's impossible to predict anything about Trump, but his intent seems to be to finance his tax cuts with tariffs paid by American consumers and businesses. The 10% base tariff may remain in a certain number of cases. Of course, he will lie again and claim that it's the exporting countries that are paying tariffs, not Americans! 😆

I wrote "that's right", so I did not challenge your assertion. The trend is showing a useful chronological comparative view which complements the comparison between polls. A number can be interpreted differently, depending on the direction of the trend.

That's right. And the trend is quite obvious! https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/approval-rating

Lame deflection. All GOP led lawsuits, recounts and audits failed miserably!

As long as PPP or its reincarnation sticks to a certain proposal, someone will not allow it.

Since the troops stationed in Bangkok are under direct royal command, the army cannot decide a coup any more On top of it, the Junta constitution includes several tool allowing to make 'legal' coups without military coups. Any government or party can be banned if the wish to do so is expressed!

Asian tourists, in particular Chinese, tend to be afraid of political unrest.

Even Fox News poll.... Fox News Poll: Economic pessimism abates slightly as voters reflect on the economy A majority opposes President Trump’s budget plan, including about one quarter of Republicans https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-poll-economic-pessimism-abates-slightly

No. The military cannot decide any coup since the troops stationed in Bangkok are under direct royal command. Of course it is possible that the stratospheric may blow another way. However, until now, it was rather blowing Thakin's way.

I wouldn't bet that Japan is the reason for the decrease of Chinese tourism in Pattaya...

Students and people for reform. In other words, the remains of yellow shirts!

Exactly! Trump is the President now! Glad you noticed it! Otherwise his approval ratings would be irrelevant. 😆

Fentanyl deaths increased under Trump and decreased under Biden. 😆 https://www.longmontleader.com/spotlight/a-24-drop-in-overdose-deaths-10820491

Thanks to Western support of Ukraine, and to sanctions imposed on Russia, it has no resources left to support its allies abroad. Russia did not intervene in Syria to support a long time ally, and it will be the same treatment for Iran.

Even in Fox News poll Trump's approval rating is at -8! https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/approval-rating

Long story! (This is from 2019) Report: Trump Happily Employing Undocumented Workers While ICE Rounds Them Up https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/08/trump-organization-undocumented-workers?srsltid=AfmBOoqCgd6JOAAl7nKCAiQqOE2S252PqEkaoXAKsbyfjWhX1dnz7mCk

Even Fox News is highlighting Trump's bad approval numbers! 🤣 https://www.yahoo.com/news/poll-position-where-trump-stands-182056801.html Quote: "President Donald Trump touted his poll numbers while speaking with reporters on the White House lawn Wednesday. "My approval rating is the highest it's ever been," the president declared, pointing to a newly released national survey. But five months into his second tour of duty in the White House, Trump's approval ratings remain underwater in most, but not all, of the latest national polls conducted over the past three weeks."

They don't back up because they can't. It's an indirect benefit of Western support to Ukraine and sanctions against Russia. Russia was not able to back up Syria and probably won't be able to back up Iran.

Trump is so obvious! He'll wait for the Israeli to do the job. If it succeeds, he will claim credit for it. If it fails or creates too much chaos he will just say that he wasn't consulted about it, and that it's Israel's sole responsibility!

Absolutely not. And the time horizon for a transition is at least 20 years. https://www.wri.org/insights/clean-energy-progress-united-states

Blah blah.
