POKING AROUND ON DAY 98

Uncontrollable day-sleeping is a common sign of dementia - this is the first time he’s slept next to his wife in years.

Trump’s approval ratings are so bad that he broke his own record for being the least popular president at the 100-day mark by 3 points - AP-NORC 39%-59% (-20); ABC/WaPo 39%-55% (-16); CNN 41%-58% (-17). Trump’s 100-day approval rating is 30 points lower than Barack Obama’s. His approval rating is 24 points lower than George W. Bush's. Trump tries to pretend like he is the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan, but his approval rating is 44 points worse than Reagan’s. Trump is 23 points worse than Richard Nixon, and 48 points worse than Harry Truman. Outside of Trump’s first term, there isn’t a statistically comparable example for the American people rejecting a president so hard, so soon. All polling currently indicates that Trump’s disapproval rating is somewhere in the neighborhood of 55%. There has never been a president more reviled as quickly as Trump, which may be the fuel that saves our country.

Charlie Sykes: “This week the zone will be flooded with commentary that will try to put Trump 2.0’s first 100 Days into some historical context. It may be hard to hear Trump described as “The Most Consequential President of this Century,” but it’s not wrong. This presidency has tested us and will leave us changed in ways we can’t fully predict now. But it hardly seems hyperbole to see his presidency - and the response to it - as a hinge of the American experiment.”

Apollo chief economist Torsten Sløk on Friday: “Daily data for container traffic from China to the US is collapsing. The consequence will be empty shelves in US stores in a few weeks and Covid-like shortages for consumers and for firms using Chinese products as intermediate goods.In addition, we will soon begin to see higher inflation because there are a significant number of product categories where China is the main provider of certain goods into the US market. In May, we will begin to see significant layoffs in trucking, logistics, and retail—particularly in small businesses such as your independent toy store, your independent hardware store, and your independent men’s clothing store. With 9 million people working in trucking-related jobs and 16 million people working in the retail sector, the downside risks to the economy are significant.” On Saturday: “For companies, new orders are falling, capex plans are declining, inventories were rising before tariffs took effect, and firms are revising down earnings expectations. For households, consumer confidence is at record-low levels, consumers were front-loading purchases before tariffs began, and tourism is slowing, in particular international travel.”

Enough of that for now. I’m just glad I ordered my dental vacuforming machine while it was still a discounted $100 delivered. It arrived yesterday. I’ve also bought $100 worth of pain manufactured in China.

From the Department of Fuck The CNN Scum In Their Faces: Chuck Shumer went on CNN’s State of the Union this morning, where he faced Dana Bash - who didn’t want to hear about how Democrats are trying to confront Trump and how his policies are all failing; she repeatedly went back to the problems Democrats face, saying (incorrectly) that they too were facing voter pushback at their town halls, and coming up with every other negative point she could find about the Demcrats. She definitely did not want to hear anything about Trump’s problems and his failures. Go fuck yourself in your face, Dana - and then take the rest of the Cretin News Network down the tubes with you. Ironically, at the same time this bimbo was getting down on her knees for PINO, a CNN poll indicates Trump's approval rating at 100 days into his term is the lowest for any newly elected president in at least seven decades, dating back to Harry

Truman at the end of his presidency in 1953.

From the Department of Widdle Marco Can Fuck Himself In His Face Repeatedly: Alleged “secretary of state” Marco Rubio - who got a near-unanimous vote in the Senate confirming him to the new position based on his previous history of standing up to a scum like Vladimir Putin and his strong defense of Ukraine - demonstrated again today what it looks like to sell your soul to the Antichrist. He went on Press The Meat with Kristen Welker, and said that “There is no military solution to this war. The only solution to this war is a negotiated settlement where both sides are going to have to give up something they claim to want, and are going to have to give the other side something they wish they didn’t. That’s how you end wars, and that’s what we’re trying to achieve here so more people won’t die.” Except, you worthless motherfucking traitor, the “peace plan” you’re shilling for is one where Ukraine gives up everything and Russia gets everything Putin went to war to get. Tell me again how that’s “both sides having to give up something they want...” We ought to put you in a leaky rowboat in the middle of the Florida Straits and see if you can make landfall in Floridumb on your own, you worthless fucking Gusano.

Fortunately, that’s all the news for today. The bad news for PINO at the top is our good news for the day.

Bastet, the always sweet little goddess
