We talked about it here last week.

I listed four core values, which seem to get a good reaction on X. Fiscal responsibility slash doge, sustainable energy and dominance in that.

Manufacturing in the US, which Elon has done single-handedly here.

Pro-natalism, which I think is a passion project for him.

And Shabbat, you punched it out with the fifth technological excellence.

According to Polymarket, 55% chance that Elon registers the American party by the end of the year.

And, you know, one thing I was trying to figure out is just how unpopular are these candidates and these political parties.

This is a very interesting chart that I think we can have a great conversation around.

It turns out we used to love our presidents.

If you look here from Kennedy at 83%, his highest approval rating, his lowest was 56%.

That was his lowest approval rating.

So he operated in a very high band.

Look at Bush, too, during after 9-11.

92% was his peak.

His lowest was 19, right?

Wartime president.

But then you get to Trump 1, Biden, and Trump 2, historically low high approval.

They're high watermark, 49 for Trump 1, 63 for Biden, 1 of 1, and then 47 for Trump 2.

and their lowest 29, 31, 40.

So maybe it is time for a third party candidate.
