Trump's Second Term

Desperation has struck? He's changed his tune.


Since his efforts to curb mail voting have failed, he's now trying to wring every possible vote out of MAGA. Perhaps many of them are too stupid to find their polling places, or too fat to get out the door of the house?

I suppose they found a way to cheat with the mail voting.

You already have the death penalty for that, remember? In fact you have the death penalty for being suspected of that. You must have. Otherwise it would be plain old murder every time you ordered a speedboat blown up and for any survivors to be killed in the water. Just like the bad guys do in movies, to establish that they are really evil.

Nah, the death penalty is for being a fisheman in the territorial waters of other countries.

The Polls have ALWAYS underestimated MAGA.
They try to suppress the Vote, but I won all 7 Swing States, the Popular Vote, 86% of Counties, and 99% of Primaries this year.
I AM ON THE BALLOT!
President DONALD J. TRUMP

From Dick Morris: “Since November of 2025 in monthly polls by McLaughlin, your job approval rating has always been between 47 and 50 percent.
I have never seen anything like that in fifty years of polling. Almost every politician sees his numbers rise and fall each month but not you. You won the election in 2024 with 49.8 percent of the popular vote and the latest McLaughlin Poll, taken this month, has your job approval at 49% - the exact same as your vote share.
No other political figure has ever had this level of consistency in his ratings. Through the Iran War and gas price rises and falls, your job approval is the same. It never changes. And 49% is enough to win - look at how that level of vote won in 2024!
In the same Mclaughlin Poll, the generic ballot is 50-48 Democrat. That is also enough to keep the House Republican. Past history indicates that anything less than a four point margin for Democrats likely points to a Republican House victory. And almost all polls are showing Republican gains in the generic ballot.”

John McLaughlin is notorious as the pollster who tells his clients what they want to hear, not what they need to hear. He predicted that both Eric Cantor and Victor Orban would win in landslides in their respective failed reelection campaigns, both lost heavily.

He is a laughing stock among news outlets and politicians

It's probably too late for the MAGATs to get mail in ballots. With him railing against mail in votes, very few will have looked for them before state deadlines.
 
"But Trump was just supposed to arrest the new illegals! Not my mom!"
Trump’s promise to close the US-Mexico border also spoke to many people in the valley. The disruption caused by record numbers of undocumented immigrants crossing into the US during the Biden administration was especially felt in this frontier zone, and many Tejano US citizens bridled against it despite their own immigrant heritage.


“Under Biden, the border was chaotic,” Pulido said. “The tent cities, the visible hardship, so many coming across.”

Since the return of Trump to the White House, however, Pulido believes that the president has squandered much of that goodwill. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has made Texas the ground zero of its mass deportation efforts, notably so given the central position the state commands within Trump’s Maga universe.

Figures compiled by the Deportation Data Project show that ICE made 12,086 arrests in July in Texas. That was almost
twice the number in the next most intensely targeted states, Florida (7,405) and California (6,464).

Pulido is convinced that Trump will pay a price in November for this blanket assault on Texas immigrants. “People are angry, ICE enforcement is splitting up families and spreading fear. And it’s hurting our economy. There’s not a building in the Rio Grande Valley that was put up without immigrant hands. None.”

Yajaira Martinez, 43, is a naturalized citizen who came to the US from Mexico when she was six. In 2024, she voted for Trump because she believed his promises about bringing down prices and improving the economy, and because she supported his desire for a stronger border.

She heard him pledge to remove undocumented immigrants with criminal records. “If you want to take the criminals out of the country, by all means go ahead,” she said.

The LARGEST steel plant in American history 📰🇺🇸

For this steel plant to "generate an estimated $95b over the next decade" it will need to remain cost competitive with foreign steel imports, and that will presumably require Trump tariffs to remain in place for the whole decade. How likely does that seem?
