Stephen A's Take: Trump's not happy with record breaking negative polls about his first 100 days.

from February, while fifty five percent said they disapprove. This beats the previous low of forty two percent for a president at or near one hundred days in office dating back to nineteen forty five. The forty two percent was also Donald Trump in twenty seventeen. Meanwhile, more Americans are losing faith in the president when it comes to the economy,

despite running on a platform of economic turnaround. Seventy two percent of those responding to the polls say they think it's or somewhat likely that Trump's economic policies will cause a recession in the short term. And finally, the poll shows the Democratic Party remains out of favor with the public at large. People said they trust Donald Trump over the Democrats in Congress to handle the nation's main problems

by thirty seven percent to thirty percent. Furthermore, while sixty percent said Trump is out of touch with the concerns of most people in the country, even more, sixty nine percent said the Democratic Party is out of touch. It's sixty four percent for the Republican Party. Overall, Ladies and gentlemen, let's get the good out of the way to talk about the president forty seventh President of the United States, formerly the forty fifth President of the United States of America.

When it comes to immigration enforcement, there is no doubt that Donald Trump has been successful. We can slice it any way we want to. But Joe Biden having an open bold the policy caused a lot of problems in this nation, particularly the psyche of American citizens. You cannot have folks crossing the border illegally, in an under d in an undocumented fashion, thinking that that is going to

bold well for American citizens. Whether it's courtesy of fifty three million dollars in prepaid credit cards that were doled out by the Adams Situ administration, the Mayor of New York, whether it's Gavin Newsom in the state of California, indicating that there's some debt issues with medicare because of the money that you spent on a legal immigration, whether it's crimes in the streets, whether it's the perception that the streets are unsafe in the streets of America simply because

of an immigrant, an immigration problem, you cannot have that. And the fact that Trump rolled up in there and cleaned this stuff up, prioritizing border control role definitely is going to be perceived as a plus, whether Democrats and others like it or not. Swift cabinet confirmations is another successful thing. Why because thirteen cabinet nominees were confirmed within ten weeks of passing the pace of the previous administrations.

You gotta give them credit for that, because you got people in place to get things done, assuming they get things done. Energy policy reversals, we all know that Trump sounded executive orders promoting fossil fuel development, including revoking electric vehicle mandates and encouraging energy exploration on federal lands. This

is considered a good thing, ladies and gentlemen. And of course foreign policy initiatives, because efforts have been made to broke the ceasefires in Ukraine and Gaza, and so he's going to get some credit for trying to make inrolls, for making inroads. Rather in that regard. Here's the bad. There's still economic concerns. You saw the poll numbers right, and another poll indicated only eleven percent of Americans felt better off economically since Trump three election, with fifty one

percent believing the economy is deteriorating. And tight tariffs have been cited as a significant misstep because you were targeting not just China but everybody, which meant some of them were our allies who ultimately turned towards being enemies and were willing to talk to China about doing business with them because of the position that Donald Trump and his administration took were led by Peter Navarro, by the way, that was problematic. You also got a situation involving civil

rights rollbacks. Let's not forget that the Trump administration aggressively targeted DEI efforts, including defunding health research for black communities and cutting support for historically black institutions. According to some folks on Capitol Hill, that is not something to be flattered that he should be flattered about. That is a problem, okay.

And then of course there's distrained international relations. His former policy moves such as withdrawing from the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Agreement and attempting to annex Greenland

that weakened alliances and drew international criticism. So I look at it that from that standpoint, Doge that remains to be seen because they were considered somewhat successful in terms of their course saving efforts, but it's been controversial, and of course we have to give him credit as far as I'm concerned in protecting women's sports in that regard, because we all know with the whole transgender thing and the participation in women's sports, that was something that needed

to be addressed. So there you have it. Here's what I walk away with more than anything. Despite his low approval ratings, he's still more popular than the Democrats. So it's really the ultimate indictment against the Democratic Party because again, despite the noise that he has made, and despite unfavorably he's looked upon, the Democrats still can't beat him because you still have nobody to beat him. You don't have

a face that resonates nationally. You don't have some who's dogged in their beliefs who happen to be able to resonate. We saw Corey book At the Senator, who's been a guest on this show speak for twenty five straight hours. Not too many people cared. We see Jasmine Crockett and AOC, you know, speaking with this weecon. Not too many people are caring. We see AOC going on tour with Bernie

Sanders and they're drawing some crowds. But here's the reality going the hell off about Trump ain't gonna get you so far because all you're showing us is that you're not willing to work with him. And because you're not willing to work with him, and the Democrats have control of neither the White House, the House of Representatives, or the Senate, you're powerless. You're just blowing into the wind.

The Democrats have got to win the midterm. They've got to win the midterm, whether it's the Senate or the House, they've got to win the midterm. Because if you don't win, he doesn't have to work with you, because the GOP is going to stand with it, because they're going to petrified that they'll be booted out of office by their constituency, because Trump will work to turn the constituency against them so they're gonna march lockstep with him when it really

really counts. Based on what I'm looking at, he could lose some of them if he alienates them. He's already made the Supreme Court a bit suspect of some of the things he suggested, courtesy of all the lawsuits that have come their way because of the executive orders that he has signed, and how that's worked out because he got a lawsuit every other day for crime out loud.

But in the end, it doesn't amount to anything if you don't have a Democratic candidate anywhere who can take him on or one of his surrogates that's going to succeed them in twenty twenty eight, assuming he doesn't elect, he doesn't pull off, rather circumvent in the twenty second Amendment, and he gets to run for a third term. By the way, I'm just guessing, but it's an education to guess based on some of the things that I'm hearing. While Barack Obama has no interest in returning the office,

that may change. If Trump, courtesy of Steve Bannon and his crew, get to circumvent that twenty second Amendment, it may change. Could you imagine Trump versus Obama for the twenty twenty eight presidency. Say what you will, but that would be mustcy TV. We'd be transfixed. I don't even know if it's worth talking about anything else if that happens, because everybody be talking about Obama versus Trump, Obama versus Trump. That's all I have to say about that.
