A couple of days ago, just past year 1 of Trump’s second term in office as President, a recent poll came out.  It showed his approval rating had dropped to  41%, the lowest since the election of 2024. My first reaction was that this was good news.  My second reaction was this is terrible news. How can that be?

First of all, we must remember that Donald Trump is the most famous and most well-known person in the history of the world. He is the news world-wide every single day.  Every word he utters is recorded for all to hear.  He tells us openly, and proudly, everyday who he is and what he stands for.  Everyone knows Donald Trump.  No one can be unaware of who he is or what he wants to do with his immense power.

Yet after all the scandalous, mean, corrupt, disgraceful, racist, near fascist, stupid, ignorant, narcistic, vain, actions he has shown us all, 41% of Americans still love Donald Trump!  Nothing Trump has done changes their devotion. Nothing can be done to eliminate that support of the base. Yes, he has lost some significant support, but millions of Americans still support him despite all that.

I can’t be happy about that.
