What are Trump's current approval ratings and their implications?
Gas prices are through the roof and Trump's approval rating is down to 31%. Just for reference, George W. Bush, his outgoing approval rating after the great recession and the quagmire that was the Iraq war, 32%. So he is lower than George W. Bush right now. And so there's no question. that it's going to be a blue tsunami whether we have great candidates or moderate candidates whatever they are people are going to vote against this not the cultists but the majority of americans will so what does trump do when he's cornered he cheats that's his default setting like i'm gonna cheat and so the last thing he wants to do which i think would be so delicious if it happened is to get impeached because he's already been impeached twice and he knows if there's a blue tsunami if there is a democratic congress
In a Democratic Senate, it's bye-bye, like hit the bricks, you're out the door. And so he has tried gerrymandering all sorts of things. So he, a couple of days ago, goes into the office and he is trying to, the Oval Office, and he's trying to crack down on mail-in voting. And, you know, he signs executive orders like a kid eats pest candy. So pop this up, Kylie.
How is Trump attempting to manipulate voting rights?
Mark Elias, the country's top election attorney, posts President Donald Trump signed a sweeping executive order Tuesday targeting mail-in voting and escalating his long-running effort to restrict voting access ahead of the 2026 midterms. So what we see right now is he's in the throes of a manic episode, and it is going to turn into more and more fuckery as we get closer and please remember that people surrounding him people in his camp have said that and even sitting u.s senators like james lankford have said we will send ice to the polling stations the last time something like this was done in our country was when the kkk was sent to polling stations to intimidate black voters. So this is their version of Make America Great Again.
But Mark Elias immediately swung into action, put up this post, Kylie. He says this is a massive and unconstitutional voter suppression effort aimed at giving Trump the power to create a list of who is allowed to vote by mail. We know where this will go. The targeting of Democrats for mass. disenfranchisement.
What does Trump's executive order on mail-in voting entail?
We will sue and we will win. So this is what they want to do. They want to tell the MAGA base and people in middle America, oh, immigrants are voting. Nobody illegal is voting. I mean, they have done test after test, research after research. They find like very few cases. A lot of times they're Republicans voting twice somewhere. It's usually some MAGA nut. And they're going to they're going to scare everyone that this is happening and they're going to disenfranchise so many blue voters. So the fix is in like the fix that the Trump administration wants to interfere with our elections is in.
What historical context surrounds Trump's voter suppression efforts?
And this is the next step. This is his coup de grace. This is where he wants to stick the landing. He has a ballroom to build. He has an arch to build. He has all of these vanity projects. The last thing he wants to do is face accountability. And here's a video of Trump commenting on his executive order. Play the clip.
The cheating on mail-in voting is legendary.
How are Trump's actions affecting the upcoming midterms?
It's horrible what's going on. And it's very clearly covered, very, very clearly. So I think this will help a lot with elections.
Okay. The reason why he's so obsessed with mail-in voting is because Joe Biden, during the COVID pandemic, Democrats voted, you know, I think it was 8 million more votes, and Trump lost, and he's never going to get over that. That broke him. That caused January 6th. It causes him this fixation that he was... Joe Biden kicked his ass in this election and mail-in voting was a big source of that. All legal, all 100% available.
What role do Trump's supporters play in the voting narrative?
But let me explain it to you like this. In a democracy, if you're a healthy democracy, really good examples of democracy around the world, give people the day off to vote or make it compulsory to vote and make it easy for voters. You have a month to fill in your mail-in ballot. Republicans,
