Maddow: All of this absolutely historically unprecedented. No president has ever come out of the gate with numbers like this ever before. And it is across the board

Turmp cannot run again. No one will ever cast a vote for him again. Voters are completely irrelevant to him. Popularity polls are even more irrelevant. I’m surprised Rachel lead with this story.
(I don't mean to be entirely doom & gloom -- eventually this too will pass. Many of our ancestors had it worse than we do, including now. But I don't expect things to get better in a few years.)
But he doesn't care any more. He's in, he can do what he wants, he's not looking for re election. Project 2025 will be implemented and his handlers including Musk will get what they want
I’d like to say he deserves those low numbers. But the truth. HE NEVER SHOULD’VE HAD THE CHANCE TO HAVE ANY APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL RATINGS in the first place
And look I’m sorry for using all caps. Fuck I look like Trump there but I’m just so disgusted. Everyday there’s something new that’s so bad. Why people believed in lies and chose chaos instead of the alternative will never ever make any sense to me. Ever.
That's why Trump was trying to make Zelenskyy look like HE was getting low ratings, when in REALITY it's HIM! He's ALWAYS projecting! Every accusation is an ADMISSION of guilt!
But HE DOESN'T CARE!! They are breaking the law to destroy the ability to vote this regime out. STOP worrying about polls! When I see a general strike, or half the country in the streets, then I'll be hopeful.
Yeah...but now that he is surrounded by sycophants who tell him what he wants to hear, he probably doesn't care about this. Although maybe that malignant narcissist can't help himesellf.
His favorability ratings matter because they make Republicans think they should push back on unpopular actions, like cutting Medicaid and ACA subsidies. If he is in the 30s, things can change. Just keep talking about the stupid stuff he is doing.
All these weak comments about him being a dictator are really pissin me off. I guess a lot of others have already picked which concentration camp they're going to. Weak asses.
Thanks, Rachel, brilliant show just like every other night!
People forgot how terrible he was, some of us didn’t, but those not paying attention, and we’re gonna pay the price for four years
Media seems to be reporting this as though he cares. He doesn’t. He got what he wanted. To stay out of jail and a bunch of cash. He couldn’t care less what happens next.
The further details of Quinnipiac polling, CNN & Reuters polling she mentioned on the show, gets worse on certain questions. It also shows that the favorability or approval for Hegseth, Bondi, Bobby Kennedy ,Gabbard, Musk, Bannon , etc, is way lower than DJT too
Can we get more to disapprove of more than just the dumb things he’s down by EO, and get more of the 62% who think he’s crazy to want to make a resort in Gaza?
The public doesn’t approve of Putin and we can’t let congress agree with him on selling Ukraine to suffer more
This was so good. I feel she is just so on point with the 15-30 minute openings on her show.
So much info about all the polling not seen on any other cable show. She shows headlines & how local news is sounding alarms of federal workers fired, and the effects on national parks, etc. Info we need
Doesn’t matter how historically bad those numbers are. Trump plans to stay in power until he dies. Republicans wanted a dictator and total control of the American people.
It’d be a miracle if we ever see a midterm or presidential election again.
He doesn’t care. He has everyone where he needs them to be right now. The citizens waited too long to figure this out even though the writing was on the wall.
The damage was done on November 5th, 2024, when an authoritarian was elected for a second term. At this point, he and his disciples are completely indifferent to negative approval ratings - just like all other dictators!
Because the poor & uneducated that he loves is convinced that all media oulets are run by liberals trying to stop his movement. They don't read & won't know the truth until they or their family find themselves in need & can't get help because he removed humanity as a consideration for anything.
I have still never been polled by one of these groups. 🤔 It really makes you wonder exactly who they are polling. I have a feeling that if they did poll my demographics more those numbers would be more scathing
The MAGA give him at least 90% .
It’s breaking it all down by demographics and independents even who either didn’t vote or are are disappointed they voted for him as they see certain things
But here is the thing. These numbers won’t change them one bit. Meanwhile Dems are in a corner screaming “not a mandate”. Just act like you do have a mandate, Dems can and should learn this from them. Act as ye have faith
I'm confused, though. Just a couple days ago on CNN, they were going on and on at how high his approval numbers are and how much better he's doing in his 2nd term. They were saying +3 not -5.
26 % is enough to keep the weirdo afloat - if there is no clear alternative
That 26 will not be against 74 but divided oppositions and a fair amount who don't like Trump but don't care enough
And he doesn’t care as the popularity contest he wanted to win, he did and now has absolute power especially with a senate and congress who follow the king vs the constitution.
That's what you'd get from Congressional Rs on a secret ballot. But if it were a public ballot - as with, say, Trump nominees - it's 100% whatever Trump wants & he's the greatest.
No President ever has, because HE IS NOT THE President. Why isn’t anyone talking about the 3M + votes that were retracted from the election? It was Rigged, again.
BUT ☝🏽 I know a secret. I’m a remote viewer. Annoying orange, robot man, and smelly beard, will be gone soon.
Are the nanobots inside the chemtrails going to gain sentience and team up with the Greys to cleanse us all of ascension symptoms so we all spontaneously channel universal consciousness?
Trump won't care. His approval ratings won't affect anything. He told his supporters that he & his MAGA candidates only needed their vote this one last time and they willingly gave it to him. His non-rich supporters have never and will never matter to him.
Granted tho his betrayal of Ukraine, Canada and Mexico - poss Taiwan - to start - makes the current right-wing coup in the Unuted States the whole world’s business. The whole world should boycott us in the name of democracy - when it happened to S Africa it helped get rid of the facists in power.
When is Harris, Obama, coming to your show. Maybe it's because Harris left the country in hiding. OBAMA, I'm not sure, but he is silent. They don't half to be.
The slow pace of his falling numbers tells the story of greed next month numbers come out for the economy I guarantee lt will be a different story he just made a whole bunch of people unemployed and I don't trust him to pay the buyouts does anybody know if they've gotten any money?
He could have 0% approval rating and still say: "My numbers are so huge.... Numbers the like no one has ever seen before. 100% agree with my administration."
He said he didn’t need their votes again for a reason. MAGA are too dumb to understand.
He will never willingly give up power. If people can’t see this they are delusional. 😑
Who is going to tell the orange dictator/cult leader about his low poll numbers? He is blissfully unaware and could not care less, because he’ll probably never leave the Oval Office
After the polls screwed us over this last election because the polls all of them all of them said the election was close. I can’t believe you’re paying any attention to these poles.
I saw that earlier. I occasionally lurk there just to gauge their mindset. They’re also very quickly shutting down dissent. I got banned there in 2017, their mod tactics are really dirty. They really shape the narrative there.
This is such great news. He’s the worst president ever. He has enabled Elon to destroy our democracy without a single shot being fired. We need to fight them at every opportunity.
If it was close to the midterms, this would mean something…but it’s not.He’ll just start sending checks out to people…his cult will get on their knees in praise…and the low numbers will be forgotten by the media
Here’s the thing I love @RachelMaddow, I don’t think polls mean anything anymore there were polls before you elected awful person. It’s over he’s in control so what are you gonna do now stop complaining the price of your eggs are higher than other countries.
It's not that 26% others approve of him, that figure's comprised of very low information individuals that either approve of him or can't make an informed opinion, most of which reside in small rural communities within Alberta & Saskatchewan.
Rachel bringing every single receipt--but his popularity makes no difference if he "The King"---will any GOP show any guts is the only chance, and they are afraid of their lives being in danger from MAGA---
Trump doesn’t care because the only way he leaves the WH now is in a coffin. Public opinion in a dictatorship isn’t important. Protests will be snuffed out like in Russia.
I’ve done probably 4 of these on FB over this week..huge one by @ #CSPAN no one has anything good to say.. the most negative reaction I’ve seen in many years.. I was really surprised.
He's basically got 4 years to put everyone he wants in power in the courts, the military, media.
By the time he's done with it there won't be much of America left
We need MILLIONS in the streets—daily.
That’s not going to happen without EVERYONE—little people like us and big people like Clooney, Swift—ALL of Hollywood. All the Dems, including the Obamas, Clintons. Oppositional GOP like Cheney & Kinzinger. ALL of us need to be raising hell.
Of course but usually when the president isn’t popular their party abandons them. The republicans won’t do that if anything, if it possible, they will gravel at his feet even more.
Of course not, people should listen when he talks, he said “As president I will have an immense power“ and also “If you vote for me you won’t have to vote anymore”. There won’t be presidential elections in 2028.
That 26% approval overall is the kicker - that's below his MAGA share, which means there's a large percentage of even those lowlifes who are seeing him for what he is.
I mean WTAF? For me because of my academic background and the way I think, I keep trying to run through the logic of the vote for Trump and it doesn't compute and so I start over again and it still doesn't compute... It doesn't work. Why? Why for the love of God would one do this? WTF are these ppl?
I am not discounting it. I am admittedly concerned about putting this forth and losing credibility. I'm not saying it definitely didn't happen, but I am very averse to adopting such assertions. The probability of events is a consideration. That might not be well-received I know. :-(
I don't know what I am supposed to do with this. It seems likely that many of them (those who shifted) voted for Trump. Why the fuck did these people put Trump back in office? Why would you do something so obviously irresponsible? I'm sorry, but this isn't something one can justify.
It's hysterical that the GOP senators and reps are doing Trump's bidding because they are scared of him, not understanding that their lives are in far more danger doing so than if they joined the rest of us in fighting him.
We need mass opposition—on a scale not seen since ‘Nam.
Where the hell’s Clooney, for example?
Throwing up his hands on Colbert.
But he sure was full of piss, vinegar & big bucks when it came to getting Biden to step down!
We need these big people out there stirring up shit. 😡

Unpopularity might convince some (R) congress critters to grow a spine before it's too late. Probably not, though.
I’m more interested in how to throw a spanner in the coup gears.
And Elon tweeting earlier that anything can be hacked.
If only they have bold caps!
He’s in, he’s fucking us, it’s over. Nothing is gonna get him out of there before his term is up except death and then it’s even worse with Vance.
People forgot how terrible he was, some of us didn’t, but those not paying attention, and we’re gonna pay the price for four years
They have to realize eventually that they will lose bad if they stick with him.
The public doesn’t approve of Putin and we can’t let congress agree with him on selling Ukraine to suffer more

I know it won't happen, but it's fun to imagine it.

He Does Putin’s Bidding to Destroy Democracy

He’s not running for Office again. I mean, he’s not leaving while breathing, but he’s never “running” for Office again.
We’re about to find out…
BUT ☝🏽 I know a secret. I’m a remote viewer. Annoying orange, robot man, and smelly beard, will be gone soon.

Pretty sure BLS numbers will be nothing but lies, any economic numbers will be lies and the MSM will report those lies as fact.
It's over.
And gerrymandering guarantees no change in the House
1. How many of the people who now disapprove voted for him?
2. And WTF did they think was going to happen?
They are in power in all branches. They don’t give a damn about polls.
Keir Starmer : "Hold my beer".
Pretty sure Hitler didn't care about approval ratings either.
It's going to get ugly
By the time he's done with it there won't be much of America left
Live-streamed.

He’s gonna send us some money 😂
That’ll fix everything
Quick, throw him an anchor.
Dislike the old monster?
