What alarming trends are emerging in Trump's base support?
This is an utter disaster for Donald Trump. He is completely losing his base. Some shock polls out this morning. That's a big SOS warning sign for Donald Trump and MAGA coming up in the midterms. In terms of how American people view the economy under Trump, much worse. They say he's making things far worse. And then in terms of a Trump base of people who did not graduate from college, Trump is deeply underwater with them. Now, Trump's regime is out there continuing to talk about how it's going to be a great thing when AI replaces workers and every time they go out there and they have Kevin Hassett or Donald Trump's that's Donald Trump's national economic advisor others go out there they say right now we're getting rid of the workers and AI is replacing them how amazing is this that's showing up in the polling data because workers are saying you're having AI replace us I mean you're rooting for that didn't you say you were going to help manufacturers didn't oh you're just going to help
You're right wing AI tech bro oligarchs and screw over the workers. Yes, that's what we've been trying to say. The Trump regime's plan is from the jump. And as I've been talking to people across this country, let me be clear. One of the most important issues that people have is the fact that AI is taking over people's jobs in these big data centers are destroyed. destroying communities. So let's just go through some of this data right here. First, let me show you Donald Trump's national economic advisor, Kevin Hassett, like bragging that AI is replacing workers. And even though our jobs reports coming out are going to be terrible, that's fine because AI and the right wing tech bros are making more profits right now.
Here, play this clip. The open question really is what's going to happen to jobs as productivity goes up? And I think that there's a chance that job creation lags. Productivity skyrockets, profits skyrocket, GDP skyrocket. But then all of a sudden, like you're making 20 widgets and you can make 20 widgets with a fewer person. And then that person has to find a new job. I think that that kind of transition could happen.
Here's another clip of Hassett saying that. Let me show that, then I'm gonna show you what some of this polling data suggests. Here, play this clip.
The other thing is that there's a pretty big decline in the labor force because of illegals leaving the country. And so the break-even job number is quite a bit lower than it was under Joe Biden when there were people you know, basically coming across the border willy-nilly. And so I think that you should expect slightly smaller job numbers that are consistent with high GDP growth right now. And one shouldn't panic if you see a sequence of numbers that are lower than you're used to, because again, population growth is going down and productivity growth is skyrocketing. It's an unusual set of circumstances.
So here's how Harry Enten describes how the American people feel about the economy right now. Let's play this clip.
staggering. You know, the economy used to be the wind beneath Donald Trump's presidency wings.
How is AI impacting job security for American workers?
And now it's his Titanic. Because what are we talking about here? Well, let's just take a look here. Trump's economic net approval one year in. In term one, hey, yeah. Plus side of ledger, plus eight points. It was his best issue, arguably. But now it's one of his worst. Look at that. Way, way down in the basement, 18 points below water. What is that, John? Quickly, Samantha, what is that? A 26-point switcheroo in the wrong direction. This is the type of number that Democratic midterm dreams are made of and Republican nightmares are also made of. So by and large, are voters saying it's Trump's fault? Yeah, this is the key answer, right? Which is why? What is driving these numbers? And it is because folks believe, the voters believe it's the Trump administration's fault.
Take a look here. Okay, the Trump admin has made the economy worse or better. You go back to January of 2018, term number one, The plurality winner there was better at 40%, just 22% said worse.
