Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Donald Trump's approval rating has slipped into negative territory for the first time in his second term, with 47% approval and 49% disapproval according to Newsweek's polling average.

Economic concerns appear to be driving the decline, with 57% of Americans viewing his economic moves as "too erratic" and 61% disapproving of his tariff policies.

Trump's current approval rating is lower than both Joe Biden's at the same point in his presidency (53%) and Trump's own numbers from his first term (50%).

Polling shows particular dissatisfaction with his handling of inflation and government spending.

Americans WILL mind if they start paying an extra $100/mo for power from Canada.

Oil

Potash

Gas

Etc.

America got sweetheart deals on all of this, until trump started victimizing himself.

Dairy? We have health standards the US industry doesn’t want to meet for dairy. THAT is the ONLY reason, it’s not a wide open market. If the US would meet our health standards, they could sell all the dairy they want up here. But noooo! Gotta play the victim.

Truly; America IS the villian here.

The facts are the facts. The data is the data.

Now, America. Go suck your own ducks! We have other markets.

*I stand by my autocorrect! Suck a bag of waterfoul!

Should we suck our own geese as well with the incoming tariff on Canada Geese?
