I think there was this concern among some folks that Donald Trump would come in for a second term and kind of be a lame duck. He ain't no lame duck. If anything, he's a soaring eagle. What am I talking about here? Let's talk about Trump executive orders in 2025. He's already signed 111 so far. That is the most at this point in a presidency in at least 100 years.

And Trump's approach to presidential power, I think the American people recognize what he's doing here is completely different. We're talking, get this, Eighty six percent of the American public believes that Trump's approach to presidential power is completely different from past presidents compared to only 14 percent who believe it is in line with precedent.

They want him prioritizing inflation. They don't want him prioritizing tariffs. Yet that is exactly what he is doing. So on this particular issue, Donald Trump is simply put not with the American public. They oppose the tariffs, and yet they believe Donald Trump is going ahead with them. And that is a big reason why we've seen Donald Trump's overall approval rating take a pretty big dip.

Isn't that favorable rating right now? It comes in at minus four points. Compare that to where he was when he won in November of 2024 when he was at minus seven points or March of 2017 when he was at minus 10 points. So when you compare Trump against himself, he's actually closer to the apex than he is to the bottom of the trough.

So let's take a look at the percentage of the country who who say that we're on the right track. It's actually a very high percentage when you compare it to some historical numbers. What are we talking about? According to Marist, 45% say that we're on the right track.

All we talk about is how unpopular Donald Trump is. But in reality, he's basically more popular than he was at any point in term number one, and more popular than he was when he won election back in November of 2024. What are we talking about? His net favorable rating right now comes in at minus four points.
