Will surely increase Trump's approval numbers
Now, that they have the formula and the stage is already in place, get ready for many more spectacles
Trump is done governing
He is now The Greatest Showman

His poll numbers will improve when gas prices go down - that's it. Trump voters are idiots and will forget his stupid war cost them a thousand bucks.

before the event. The number for Rs was also way below fifty percent. It's not going to improve his polling.

The last attempt on his life his supporters didn’t believe it, the stunt in New York didn’t go over. When you can’t buy groceries and he tells you he doesn’t care his circus does not play well. He also looks like a sick old man and that messes with their fantasy of him being a virile stud.

Has slowly peeled off some maga heads
One lib owning circus of vulgarity will bring them right back
They may hate the current situation but they hate admitting they are wrong even more
Last night gave them the Trump feelies all over again
And the news coverage has been so positive

But we must remained focused on our values. He appears weak after Iran and they are not happy. Let’s stop giving him air and space in our heads also stop looking at mainstream media because they will always kiss his as.

None of us are, and I think if they were trying to pump numbers with it, they've failed.

I've been taking a far less confrontational approach with trumpers and it seems to be working.

I mentioned the UFC fight to a trumper who claimed to be unaware that it was happening. Without prompting, he suggested it was probably a distraction from something dealing with epstein.

And he keeps coming back for trump's shit

Not that Rogan is an exceptional example of good judgment, he is def an exceptional example of how fucking stupid, hypocritical, and lacking of principle MAGA is.
