Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
I saw on the afternoon news today that according to a CBS poll President Donald J. Trump has a 53% positive job performance rating. Even CNN was talking about. WOW !
Isn't that great. At last we have a President that has a positive rating.
In delusional MAGA terms, 53% is positive by a "landslide".
Bummer that your personal information may be on a Musk intern's thumb drive as we speak.
But on the brighter side, Dump hopes to put you in some premium Mediterranean waterfront real estate in the near future. Another delusion/distraction.
We flew migrants on military planes this week at a ridiculous cost per body.
Nobody should be impressed.
Wait, didn't he promise to decrease prices on day 1? The price of gas, milk, eggs, etc.? You mean he LIED? He told lies that only an idiot would believe?
A lot of people like what he's doing not HOW he's doing it. There are other proper ways to do the same thing. Unfortunately lobbyist and corporate America own the congress so he has to break the law to get the same results. Sad reality about our politicians.
It brings me into some serious despair that enough voters seriously voted for an amoral felon, enough to push him into victory in the idiotic Electoral College. The Orange One is intentionally dismantling the government, making it impotent. All in the name of MAGA and Project 2025 ideology. And they complained about "Blue" ideology. The Blues at least maintained the RULE OF LAW.
Seems like any American would welcome finding and eliminating fraud and theft in our government instead of condemning the people who find and eliminate it. The DCP seems to fear that some the things they spent tax money on will come back to haunt them. I am all for what Trump and Musk are doing.
For decades both parties have preached reducing the deficit and balancing the budget, but no one has been able to do it. It may not get done this time, but at least this looks like the best attempt I've seen. I can't remember for sure, but didn't Clinton have a surplus once or twice while he was in office? He didn't pay off the national debt, didn't he reduce it a little or at least not increase it? I'm sure some of you know.
@hondo - ask yourself this, if waste, fraud and theft is what they pretend to be eliminating why do they refuse to submit "proof" of any of it and deny access to their claims and actions? One strong possibility is that there is none and they are the frauds.
Their definition of waste and fraud are those programs that they do not agree with. Think about it for a minute - humanitarian foreign aid, scientific research, public health, cancer research, the IRS, FEMA and other disaster assistance and on and on and on. Go ahead, the math isn't that hard.
Exactly... saying fraud is BS -- where is the proof? The proof it's BS is not allowing anyone to look at Elon's records until 2034 classifying his sh*^t show work using the presidential records act. ADD: I agree there is nothing wrong with looking over the agencies to improve efficiency and eliminate waste but what's going on now isn't that.
Waste, fraud and abuse is the DEFINITION of the Orange Babyshit's "Administration." Mainstream media outlets have been removed from gummint news briefings in favor of friendly, crazy-ass, Right-wing entertainers. That's downright Hitlerian. Trumpster just ignores court orders. Rule of Law is dead. Musk has been granted a huge contract for armoured Teslas. Take over Gaza, as if it were his own? Shit. Shut down USAID, helping the poorest, done by the richest man on the planet--- at Trumpy's direction. No thought for anyone else. Selfish, childish, ignorant bucket of worthless sludge.
Mark - gman - Crash, tell us how you really feel. There is actually plenty of proof, but you members of the DCP (Democrat Communist Party) don't wont to see it. If President Trump increased funding to USAID you would still complain just because President Trump did it. You will complain about ANYTHING he does.
As for the armored Teslas, I read that contract was put our while the Biden administration was in office and that President Trump has canceled it.
You guys (I guess your guys) be sure to take your blood pressure medicine.
@Hondo - Although I know it's a complete waste of my time (I've tried this before with a number of trump sycophants) please regale us (me) with factual proof to support your statement "There is actually plenty of proof, but you members of the DCP (Democrat Communist Party) don't wont to see it." Show me the proof! Until then we have nothing further to discuss.
The six-day poll, which closed on Tuesday, showed 44% of respondents approved of the job Trump is doing as president, down from 45% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted January 24-26. Trump's approval rating stood at 47% in a January 20-21 poll conducted in the hours after the Republican's return to the White House.
Well that didn't take long, eh?
So, now "At last we have a President that has a positive negative (sic) rating."
And asking for a friend, "VI-2, is that a majority or plurality" who disapprove of him?
