Trump acts like a tool and no one cares, but anyone else raising their voice is a pissy mad bitch. It's hilarious.

I didn't say anything about trump we're supposed to be against trump because he's a tool, and kamala is supposed to be the sensible, fair, compassionate candidate by comparison, don't make yourself look just like him so it's a coin flip

When you are getting talked about in the barbershop — you know it’s real.

imagine being in a barber shop, Trumps waddles in, calls you a big guy and tries to yank you out of your chair

Quote:Trump trolls Chuck Schumer, says he has a chance at becoming the first female president. Quote:TRUMP: “Right now we have someone in the White House who can barely talk, barely put together two coherent sentences, who seems to have the mental faculties of a child...

This past week, in parallel or co influenced, I don’t know, there’s been a lot about Trump now vs in 2016. The libs shamelessly using the same talking points used against Biden. While the right laments or is nostalgic for the higher energy aggressive Trump of 2016. They’re not wrong? It’s stark to see clips next to each other. Age is a factor, no doubt. But I think 2020 and his time as President, he had this different temperament. Once it became real and not a lark.
That said, he stumbled through some of the lines there. He’s stronger off the cuff rather than reading written jokes.
The Trump/Vance campaign will either be the biggest win or the biggest disaster in political history. They went all in and quadrupled down. It'll be sweeping the rustbelt or losing Texas.
But considering how nervous Obama looks I think the mad man did it.

I think we are doomed to nailbiters for the rest of future american history. There's just an enormous amount of "vote <color> no matter <word that rhymes with the earlier color>" people out there.
Happy to be wrong of course. I'd love to experience a Dukakis moment in my lifetime.
From 1876 to 1900 (which just missed by a little, similar to 1868) all the Presidential elections were within five points in the popular vote. Two (1876 and 1888) had the electoral college winner lose the popular vote. One (1880) was effectively a tie. One (1876) was even an election that really had no victor and required a special commission to decide, which along partisan-lines gave it to the actual loser. The North was dominated by Republicans, the South by Democrats, the midwest/rustbelt was the deciding swing factor.
Ironically, despite the locked regions, the parties were much closer together on issues then than they were both before and after. Much like today I'd argue, but many would disagree because they're too focused in the moment.

There's just an enormous amount of "vote <color> no matter <word that rhymes with the earlier color>" people out there. I think 2 term Presidents will be a thing of the past. Early 2020 it looked like an easy win for Trump because of the economic boom and how easily he took care of big crises like North Korea and Al Bag Daddy. But then his bloated campaign operation imploded, George Floyd, COVID happened, he was pressured to give the wrong people the keys to the castle (Fauci, Birx, Pence etc.) and the Democrats seized on that. The message was simple, you can have the same prosperity you have now without all the chaos and drama. Summer 2023 it looked like an easy win for Biden. They had prevented the predicted "Red Wave" for the 2022 midterms, the Russia/Ukraine war was contained and the economy seemed to rebound but then October 7th happened and everything started to slowly fall apart for the Democrats. It seems that the voters are changing their minds on what they want much more rapidly these days. And it's not just something that is happening in the US. The UK went from a landslide historic win for Boris Johnson to a Labour government.

Trump's presidency was falling apart midway through his term. His behaviour was more and more erratic and his response to COVID and other issues showed he was clearly not fit for office. As soon as the democrats picked a boring, familiar old white man, it was over for Trump. I think people believed Biden's presidency was always going to be a one-term deal because of his age. The expectation was going to be that the democrats would find another younger boring white man and put him up for election. Things would have been fine, but then the democrats didn't find anyone to run that fit the mould because they're retards. Then the inevitable COVID inflation hit and they panicked and nominated a nincompoop. Johnson won by a landslide because Labour put a literal anti-Semitic socialist up for election who dithered on every major issue and especially brexit.

Nah you remember it wrong. It started rough but by 2019 the tax cuts went into effect and the economy really started to boom and everything magically worked out.
Including his visit to North Korea and taking out Al Bag Daddy. Trump had pretty much delivered on his promises of fixing the economy and destroying ISIS. Early 2020 he got Soleimani and was still doing great until right after the State of the Union adress when COVID spread beyond China and George Floyd died.

That drop at the the year change is because people thought Biden's primary campaign was over. Trump was in the middle of being impeached.

This graph from NYT kinda shows the approval rating trajectory from 2017 to mid 2019. It would continue to rise until March 2020 or so.
10-18-2024, 09:03 PM
Yeah, he got a brief boost from COVID then fucked it up. He was still underwater not "doing great" as even your approval rating chart shows he's negative approval. Which is why Biden was leading him for two years and never fell behind.
