Here is where Trump's popularity stood on Mar 7, 2017 https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/approval-rating-1st-term Here's the up to date chart: So, if you subtract 1.4 percent from his starting popularity margin of 8.5% on jan 21, 2025, there has been a decline of 7.1% over 6 weeks. And this is your idea of good news for Trump? The trend line doesn't exactly look promising for him.

More right-wing nonsense. Very few illegals. And the amount of fentanyl coming from Canada is exiguous. As for unequal trade, Trump should blame the incompetent who negotiated the trade agreement that was the successor to NAFTA. Who was that person?

Most Canadians disagree with you.. and that includes even the head of the Canadian conservatives who is pretty far to the right.

Army Corps knew Trump order would waste California water, memo shows Army Corps of Engineers colonel responsible for releasing water from two California reservoirs at President Donald Trump’s direction in January knew that it was unlikely to reach the southern part of the state as Trump had promised, according to a memo obtained by the Washington Post. The agency carried out Trump’s directive, which came in the wake of catastrophic wildfires in Los Angeles County, on short notice on Jan. 30, though it would normally require days to coordinate. A memo written four days after the release, obtained by the Post through a public records request, shows how federal officials rushed ahead with the plan to release irrigation water despite objections from the state’s elected officials and some local farmers. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2025/mar/07/army-corps-knew-trump-order-would-waste-california/

Actually, China has less than a trillion dollars in treasury securities.

He's also giving businesses the heebie jeebies. Such whipsawing makes it impossible for them to plan for the future. And it's certainly not going to give them confidence to trust that Trump won't continue in the same vein. The fact is, the Canadians and Mexicans called his bluff and he folded. It has also torpedoed consumer confidence which has cratered since he took office. And in the case of Canada the border issue is ridiculous.

A month ago, President Trump announced that he would impose sweeping tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico before reaching a last-minute deal to delay them for 30 days. This week, after markets revolted when the tariffs were put in place, Mr. Trump watered them down with a monthlong reprieve for automakers. And then on Thursday, he opened up even broader exemptions for many other products that are imported from America’s neighbors to the north and south after intense lobbying from business groups that warned of rising prices. https://archive.ph/UGUbK

Trump said "Jump" and the Canadians complied. Well, kind of. They pounced on him.

Private sector job creation slowed to a crawl in February, fueling concerns of an economic slowdown, payrolls processing firm ADP reported Wednesday. Companies added just 77,000 new workers for the month, well off the upwardly revised 186,000 in January and below the 148,000 Dow Jones consensus estimate, according to seasonally adjusted figures from ADP. The total was the smallest increase since July and comes at a time when worries are rising that economic growth is slowing and worries brew that President Donald Trump’s tariff plans will spark another round of inflation. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/private-employers-added-just-77000-jobs-february-far-expectations-adp-rcna194888

Not surprised you believe that.

Why? Does that debt have supernatural qualities?

Most people agree that they are scourges. The question is what to do about them?

You believe tax cuts will actually increase revenues? Didn't work for Reagan. Didn't work for Bush. Didn't work for Trump 1st term. What's different this time?

Rip Van Winkling much? https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/gold

Which you believe his proposed tax cuts will make better?

Is the point you're trying to make that both Trump's meme coin and truth social are both cases of pump and dump?

I offered you the option to explaining this comment And yet despite these allegations of yours, he won a big victory. What does that tell you about how Canadians feel about Trump?

I am so tired of giving remedial reading lessons. If that's your takeaway from what I wrote then the case is hopeles. Unless you can offer an explanation of how you come to that construal.

You mean it only counts he says he wants to restore Soviet era borders anything less than that doesn't matter? It doesn't count that he has troops stationed in the foreign countries against the will of that government? You're the one who claimed that the blowing up of those gas pipes was done by the United States. I asked you to provide evidence for that. Please stop trying to deflect from the issue that you raised.

Why not ask Jonnyf? He introduced this fellow into the conversation. Take it up with him.

If your objecting to the mention of Trump, the party you introduced that gentleman to the conversation was none other than Jonnyf. But I guess as a fellow right winger, you decided to give him a hypocritical pass.

That depends on what one means to people. To drop some Trump supporters here it clearly means that Trump won a majority. Just today I had an exchange with one ardent Trump supporter who claimed that everyone was happy with what Trump was planning.

You got proof that the US blew up the pipeline? And by the time the pipeline was blown up, it was already not being used. As for what Putin wants, he has made it very clear that he thinks certain portions of the old Russian empire like the Baltics and Poland, should be restored to Russia. He actually has troops in Moldova. And you may think it is inconsequential that Finland, a country that had always tried to remain neutral between Russia and NATO, joined NATO after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. That goes for Sweden too. And Finnish intelligence has always kept a very close eye on what Russia is up to.
