un-huh. Check the polls. Trump has lost much of the HIspanic vote, and lost many Independents, and GenZ voters.


It’s been a bad stretch of polling for President Donald Trump.​
In recent weeks, a string of new polls has found Trump losing ground with key constituencies, especially the young, non-white and low-propensity voters who swung decisively in his direction in 2024. The uptick in support for Trump among those non-traditional Republican voters helped fuel chatter of an enduring “realignment” in the American electorate — but the durability of that realignment is now coming into doubt with those same groups cooling on Trump. Surveying the findings of the most recent New York Times-Siena poll, polling analyst Nate Cohn bluntly declared that “the second Trump coalition has unraveled.”​

President Donald Trump’s approval rating has “fallen off a cliff with Generation Z,” according to CNN’s chief data analyst.​
Speaking on air on Wednesday, Harry Enten pointed to CBS News data showing it has fallen from +10 points one month into the administration in February 2025 to -32 points today....​

Why It Matters

Gen Z, made up of those born between 1997 and 2012, played a pivotal role in the 2024 election when Trump improved his margin with young voters and returned to the White House.​
Less than a year later, data shows his support from this influential demographic has dropped precipitously, raising questions about the Republican Party’s hold on younger voters and the future of U.S. electoral dynamics.....​
In 2024, these voters identified with—or leaned toward—Democrats over Republicans by six points.​
By 2025, that gap had widened sharply to 20 points, which Enten described as the biggest shift of any group.​
He noted that while the overall electorate also moved, this increase was more than double the change seen nationwide and represented a significant swing toward Democrats.​
Many from that 77,301,997 regret their vote for him.
I was only referring to being said that everyone knew Trump and Vance would be a disaster in November 2024. Obviously 77,301,997 voters didn't feel that way at the time. As far as polls go, what did the polls say in January of 2024? I'm guessing they probably had Biden/Harris in the lead by a good percentage.

US Embassy in Copenhagen removes flags honoring fallen Danish soldiers, angering veterans

Video shared by Danish media outlet TV2 showed a security guard removing the flags honoring the 44 Danish soldiers who died in the conflict from planters located outside the embassy on Tuesday.

A US State Department spokesperson told CNN the placement of the flags was not coordinated with the US Embassy staff in Copenhagen and that the embassy was unaware of the flags’ significance.

While the placement of such items is not generally prohibited, flags, banners and signs are often cleared by guard staff at the end of their shift “as a general rule,” the spokesperson added.

Danes responded by placing hundreds more flags in front of the American Embassy, according to video shared by TV2.

And on and on it goes. I remember when people were blaming Bush for the economy and the debt far into Obama's term.
It gets old
It took Obama two years to turn around, yes, the mess he inherited.
Trump did not inherit a mess, coming in to both his terms.
Now it's hold my beer and watch me muck up everything.

Well the debacle with the removal of the 44 Danish flags that had the dead soldiers names inscribed on them by the US embassy, even if the flags have now been replaced (the original ones weren't returned), certainly isn't going to help with relations there.

How on earth does it help prove a point that the President was rude and disrespectful - by being equally rude and disrespectful?
If you think calling him "Cadet Bonespurs" is rude and disrespectful, you should hear what veterans call him among themselves.
