Full Episode
Donald Trump is getting a rude awakening in Michigan after going to Michigan to celebrate 100 days, the most disastrous days ever in the first 100 days of a presidency. We're getting new polling data out of Michigan and Donald Trump's poll numbers there are are crashing.
A recent poll out of Michigan is showing 56% of Michigan voters disapprove of Trump's performance after his first 100 days of his second term. Only 17% say it's pretty good. Only 24% of people
say that it is excellent but by far more people are viewing this as negative to catastrophic also when you dig into the numbers here uh donald trump is negative on every single issue the only issue though where he i guess is you know basically at a baseline even is i suppose his main issue immigration for which 48 percent of respondents in michigan gave him a positive rating
and 48% gave him a negative rating with still 4% undecided. And the pollster here says that it's clear from the data that he's beginning to suffer from his own base, from the own MAGA supporters, which is interesting because he's usually able to still hold that kind of MAGA crew. Of course, Michigan is a pivotal swing state, and unfortunately it went for Trump in the 2024 election.
Let me just show you the scene outside of that Trump rally or whatever the heck you want to call it, where he was there for his 100 days. It seemed like there were more protesters and more than even people who were actually at this event. Here was the scene outside of the event. Let's play it.
Thank you.
You know, one of the things, too, in Michigan that I've noticed also is that that Trumpism, that just kind of cruelty and meanness, unfortunately, seeps into that Republican Party there.
Their Speaker of the House, a guy named Matt Hall, just the insults that he uses, I mean, the way he refers to another state representative, Mai Zong, and I'll just play it for you, because they just use the Trump immature bullying, and this should Being nowhere, not in Michigan. We should just act like adults and be professional and carry ourselves with dignity and act responsibly.
But just watch. This is Michigan's Republican Speaker of the House. They all do like Trump routines now. Let's play it.
