If it polled well it’s only because Republicans watched it and Dems abstained.

Most of it was just bullet point lies!! Rambling for 5 minutes about Social Security ages over 100!

itsmevicki.bsky.social•3 days ago

Your reading level is quite a bit higher than the average American's unfortunately.

I was just complaining to my husband about how many Americans fail at the simple task of giving 1-5 star ratings online.

jsbooth.bsky.social•2 days ago

Let me break it down: the American people aren’t paying any attention to this. They either love his dumb ass unconditionally or hate his fat orange guts. NO ONE PAYS ATTENTION TO SPEECHES. Most of us got real shit to do. Even his supporters know his words are meaningless.

Just look at those two idiots behind him. They got all of their cardio work out done for the next month. Stand,sit, clap, sit, stand, clap. Little kids trying to make their daddy proud. Sickening.

The MagaHead Peanut Gallery applauded on cue. When Huey & Dewey stood, the disciples did too. Trump played the camera like it was a political rally rather than an Address To Congress, using vulger language, insulting those he doesn't like & lying for 100 minutes! It was a MagaHead wet dream.

They kicked out Al Green for DiSrUpTiVe BeHaVoIr and then continued to stop the speech to do standing ovations every other minute... The whole thing is dripping with hipocrisy. Look at these "facts" he tossed out that he didn't even understand or purposely misrepresented

Democrats should’ve walked out when Johnson yelled at their colleague like he was a child.
In my bones I would’ve had to leave, how did they just sit there?

markm52.bsky.social•3 days ago

No. The only ones that liked it - republicans - we’re already in the bag.

mrxexon.bsky.social•3 days ago

And those creepy bobblehead men behind him. Egad...

secretoriginz.bsky.social•3 days ago

In a normal admin polls are important but how much weight do they have in motivating Trump's actions?

vaxtheworld.bsky.social•3 days ago

Agreed. And I think that a childish speech is about all Trump's brain will allow him to deliver at this point. The speech was carefully crafted to be in small paragraphs, simple sentences, phrases that he is comfortable with. He could not read a more complex, original speech IMHO.

totallandscaping.bsky.social•3 days ago

At least he has the adoration of his loyal subjects, Republican members of Congress.

mtfmd.bsky.social•3 days ago

You are so tedious and tone deaf. 76% approval rating from America.

jdp238.bsky.social•3 days ago

That is some made up bullshit and you know it.

mtfmd.bsky.social•2 days ago

Uh huh

gillb29.bsky.social•3 days ago

I see the sycophants behind him got the daily “uniform” message.

csdavis9.bsky.social•3 days ago

Waiting for @therickwilson.bsky.social's observation to be realized with his administration that everything Trump touches dies.

Unfortunately, I think it's going to the USG and American democracy this time.

jenniferrosie.bsky.social•3 days ago

I wish

nessaann.bsky.social•3 days ago

And the Dems held up signs & wore pink as a response.
Worthless.
This is the opposition’s response to a fascist takeover.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social call for “decorum” at trump’s lie fest when the sky is literally falling. Completely WEAK!! @ronwyden.bsky.social @jeffmerkley.bsky.social

alexolivas.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don't think President Krasnov's approval ratings means much to him. He doesn't have to run in a free and fair election again. He's safe from prison and with bribery now legalized, his net worth is increasing. Those are his only two goals, which throws the normal rules of politics out the window.

xray-thereal1.bsky.social•3 days ago

Does it really matter if trump’s approval numbers are sinking? I don’t think he cares. I don’t think the oligarchy of fascist republicans care. These people aren’t going anywhere. Trump will die soon, but the rest will continue for many years.

curpo.bsky.social•3 days ago

Those two guys behind him seemed entertained.

dtaylor52.bsky.social•3 days ago

So, what you are saying, it was the usual crap that you expected!

darkmatters95.bsky.social•3 days ago

76% of Americans approved of Trump's speech last night. Just admit you're out of touch and work on it. Everything you assume is wrong

fourstarr.bsky.social•3 days ago

Agree that the 10% sliver of the electorate that decides things is souring on this fiasco. Don't agree that the people who actually have to move to stop Trump will ever grow the courage required to do so.

Dopey Donny……

missmer86.bsky.social•3 days ago

yes but will it matter? seems like his approval rating could be 17% and we are still losing on all fronts

prodemocracypastor.bsky.social•3 days ago

He is in a high speed train that even he can’t get himself off of.

It will barrel on until is crashes or is stopped.

karlpeterson.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can't happen fast enough!

Childish silly unimpressive is what maga stands for

fingers crossed !..

MAGA hat update

djk1762.bsky.social•3 days ago

He will come out today and say he win the tariff war already. Because he is a screw up and a liar.

rediculous1.bsky.social•3 days ago

He is a boob.

thurston-howell-iv.bsky.social•2 days ago

Clearly you’re not the target demo. 🤭

follyfarm.bsky.social•3 days ago

The more the public can see this guy the better. He is utterly repulsive. Negative, cynical, childish, relentlessly stll ppl f promoting and he drones on and on and on. About as inspirational as a turd. What’s there to like??
