chasfh Posted March 16 Posted March 16 (edited) Maybe I'm misunderstanding in general, but I could swear practically everyone is saying that red hat America is mad as hell at the way Trump is running things and that his approval is plummeting.

Dan Gilmore Posted March 16 Posted March 16 I think this is an example of how the simplified poll questions don’t drill down enough to mean very much. People from very different perspectives can each poll as unsatisfied with the direction but one thinks things are too liberal while the other thinks they are too conservative. I expect this to become a little clearer as the tariffs, layoffs and likely recession eat away at the non-MAGA portion that supported Trump. Quote
Dan Gilmore Posted March 16 Posted March 16 And as we know, many are not paying much attention to politics on a day to day basis. That oblivious attitude may not hold for long even if they never show strong interest in being that much better informed. Quote

romad1 Posted March 17 Posted March 17 (edited) https://justthenews.com/government/white-house/gridiron-club-journalism-dinner-omits-toast-us-president-first-time-140 Quote By Nicholas Ballasy The Gridiron Club journalism dinner omitted the toast to U.S. president for the first time in 140 years, according to a report. “At most of the Gridiron Club’s Spring Dinners, the President of the United States has spoken. In some years, the Vice President has filled in, and on occasion a high-level Administration figure,” said Gridiron President Judy Woodruff, who works for PBS, according to Politico. “I invited the President, the Vice President, the National Security Adviser, and the Interior Secretary — all declined. I was told the Secretary of State would not be available. To close the evening — when the sitting President usually speaks — we showed video and audio excerpts of the past four Republican presidents, starting with President Trump in 2018. These demonstrated the good humor and fellowship this dinner is all about,” he added. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner, a cabinet secretary, was reportedly in attendance at the dinner but the toast to President Trump was still omitted.
