Why is Trump's approval rating declining rapidly?
Americans are rising up against Donald Trump. Trump's approval is tanking fast. Donald Trump, I think, realizing that he is a cornered rat. Let's talk about what happened over the weekend. Russian state regime media continued to talk about how Donald Trump and Putin are now fully aligned on their attacks of NATO, Ukraine, and Europe. Take a look at what happened on Russian state regime media. Let's play the clip.
How is Russian media portraying Trump and Putin's relationship?
When Trump is answering questions about the press conference, I think it is not a coincidence that many of the narratives that are being voiced largely materialized after their conversation. The phrases he is saying are so deep and so correct, they are in total alignment with the way we see things.
Then the United States Secretary of Defense, who has no experience to hold that position, former Fox host Pete Hegseth, who never commanded any military before holding this position, Pete Hegseth said that he refused to say whether Russia was the aggressor or not in Russia's unlawful invasion of Ukraine, quite literally spewing Russian propaganda. Let's play it.
What controversial statements were made by US officials?
Blinsky should come to the table because this economic partnership is an important thing for the future of his country. And we hope that he will very soon.
But fair to say Russia attacked unprovoked into Ukraine three years ago tomorrow.
Fair to say it's a very complicated situation.
Over the weekend, folks, there were elections that were held in Germany. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, and the MAGAs supported Germany's neo-Nazi AFD party. The AFD party came in second. They did not win. the CSU-CDU party led by Frederick Mayers, who will become the next chancellor. They prevailed in the election. Mayers will become the next chancellor.
Did Trump support a neo-Nazi party in Germany?
In his acceptance speech after becoming the next chancellor, the presumptive chancellor, Frederick Mayers said that Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Washington were now, quote, no less radical and outrageous than that of Moscow. Germany now views America basically no different than they view Putin. That's what Donald Trump has done to the United States and how Donald Trump has turned Europe and NATO and Canada and all of our traditional allies against the United States. Furthermore, over the weekend, Donald Trump appointed the podcast host and conspiracy theorist who never worked a day in the FBI as the deputy director of the FBI. I'm talking about Dan Bongino. FBI agents are absolutely furious at this appointment.
Who is Dan Bongino and why is his FBI appointment controversial?
Donald Trump posted the following, great news for law enforcement and American justice. Dan Bongino, a man of incredible love and passion for our country, has been named the next deputy director of the FBI by the man who will be the best ever director, Kash Patel. As Ken Delanian of NBC writes, traditionally, the deputy FBI director has been a career FBI agent. That is particularly important when the director has no experience at the FBI. Donald Trump tonight announced he is appointing as deputy director Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and prolific conspiracy theorist. He has never spent a day working at the FBI, but he has spent many hours spouting baseless falsehoods about the bureau.
such as that the FBI lied when they said they don't have a suspect in the pipe bombs as outside the RNC and DNC on January 15, 2021. Current and former FBI officials are appalled and extremely concerned for the national security of the country. And I would say the biggest reason, though, that Americans are pissed, even though those ones are young, Hugely, hugely a reason why as well is that Donald Trump has gutted the federal government, attacked people's Medicaid, tried to remove people's healthcare, and is doing everything he can to try to destroy our economy. We saw the markets crash at the end of last week.
What are the public's opinions on Trump's policies according to polls?
When you take a look at Trump's approvals from the latest Ipsos poll and the approvals of MAGA's, it is so underwater on just about every issue. Let's go through it. Here was a question in the latest Ipsos poll from February 18th. I imagine the next Ipsos poll is going to be even worse. Would you rather see the next Congress controlled by Democrats or Republicans?
