The Economist has published a new state by state poll looking at Trump's net favourability ratings in each state.
Geo Universe who created the map based on the data says:
"A new state-by-state approval map shows a significant gap between approval and disapproval ratings for President Trump across much of the country.
While a handful of states show positive net approval, the majority trend negative, highlighting the deep political divisions that continue to shape the United States.

Gentle reminders for 2026.

America actually re-elected the guy who said, "If we stop testing for Coronavirus, there won't be any cases." They really looked at him and said, "This is the man to solve our problems."

“We're fighting wars. It’s not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare.” -Donald Trump, April 2026 #AffordableLiving #TrumpPolicies

Trump and the GOP cut $1 trillion from Medicaid and handed $1 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1%.

Dollar for dollar.

Trump State of the Union bingo card with all of his favorite catch phrases.

Almost 250 years after we broke with George III, the question must now be faced: Are we a monarchy or a nation of laws?

Are you a worm? Because you're stuck in my brain. #ValentinesDay

Are you a giraffe? Because I'll never forget you. #ValentinesDay

There is a fundamental difference between citizens and the government, and those acting on the government’s behalf. The government and its agents are held to a higher standard of care.
For months, Trump has deliberately stoked chaos. He escalated an already volatile situation in Minneapolis after federal agents murdered Renee Good and then refused to investigate the killing. When people are abused again and again by those in power, anger is not a mystery. It is a predictable outcome.
What the government is doing now is even more dangerous. It is arguing that the victim deserved to die, that they were asking for it. This is the oldest excuse for state violence, and it has never been legitimate.
Every trained officer knows this. Citizens may yell. They may protest. They may escalate emotionally. The state does not get to escalate lethally in response. Your job is to de-escalate, exercise restraint, and preserve life.
Lethal force is meant to be the absolute last resort used only when there is no other option left and an imminent threat cannot be stopped by any lesser means. Taking a life is irreversible. That gravity is what separates law enforcement from execution.
People who truly serve understand this. They treat the use of force as a failure to be avoided, not a tool to be justified after the fact. Yet ICE’s response suggests something far darker a willingness to treat irritation, defiance, or past encounters as retroactive permission to kill.
Even if a previous encounter involved shouting, kicking a car, or spitting those things happen every day. A repeat encounter is an opportunity to handle a situation better, not a pretext to end a life.
The argument the government is now advancing is not self-defense. It is the claim that prior encounters, irritation, or defiance can retroactively justify a killing. That is not policing it is collective punishment logic.

From a German citizen: "A German here.... yesterday, my government issued a travel advisory regarding the US...and they also pointed out that the social media accounts of the incoming travelers are being checked. Do you know in which countries this is also done? China...North Korea...Russia...so this is how far things have come with the US...and every morning there are new, insane news reports about and from the current administration. News that one does not want to believe in Germany, but which is later repeatedly confirmed. This show by [Jimmy] Kimmel is truly like a soothing wet towel you place on a feverish forehead to cool it down. Greetings from Germany." -@zenon7094, YouTube

What do you think the chances are that Rubio, et al, never intended to “run” Venezuela — they just wanted Maduro out of the way to cut a deal for the oil — and Trump just rambled that into existence at the news conference because of his increasing dementia?
Trump has spent most of his life simply bullshitting, whether selling condos, hustling new businesses, bankrupting casinos, and attacking women. It’s his first instinct.
And now that he’s apparently (as Lev Parnas and many insiders have noted) taking regular infusions via the back of his hand for the new Alzheimer’s drug, the side effect of “loss of inhibitions” is kicking in and he’s reverting back to form, relying on whatever comes to the top of his head at the time.

This poll, taken over two weeks, shows the president underwater with every segmented group except self-identified Republicans and I’m reminded of the late Franklin Delano Fortner, longtime stalwart of Mineral County’s Democratic Committee, and the nugget he passed down from his parents: “Herbert Hoover made more Democrats than any other president.”

Trump has placed plaques under presidential portraits at the White House, smearing his predecessors, including Presidents Biden, Obama, Bush, and Carter. Here's how someone imagined Trump's plaque should read:::

Rand Paul wants to raise retirement age to 70.

We are experiencing two existential crises in real time: The degradation of our democracy and our planet. Since we are responsible for both, we can save both.

Heather Delaney Reese:

Elon Musk now says DOGE was only “a little bit successful” and he “wouldn’t do it again.”

Translation: he cashed out, faced brutal public pressure, and now he’s pretending it was just a quirky little experiment instead of another calculated move to destabilize, manipulate, and distract from his broader role in undermining democracy.

We won’t forget. And we definitely won’t forgive.

Trump asks why they don't have more immigrants from Sweden, Norway, and non "sh*thole countries."

You voted for a convicted felon... you don't care about the law.

People in authority don't treat you as if you might be a criminal. It feels a lot like that too often in the US. There are so many rules and punishments for things.

Find someone who looks at you like Trump looks at Mamdani.

Unraveling claim Adolf Hitler built a ballroom in 1933.

The Trump administration has ordered FBI employees to immediately search their workstations and digital media for any records pertaining to the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, two law enforcement sources told CNN.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom.

Trump is the worst president since... Trump

In just over 6 months JD Vance has vacationed with his family to the following:
1. A ski resort in Vermont.
2. Greenland.
3. The Vatican in Italy.
4. India.
5. Disneyland in California.
6. Cotswolds and Scotland in United Kingdom.
7. Ohio to go kayaking for his birthday where he used more tax dollars to raise the river to “improve kayaking conditions”.
All paid for by you, while you struggle to have maybe one single vacation per year.

From Thomas Goetz
Oprah Winfrey, Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and a little girl were on a plane when suddenly the aircraft started having serious problems. The pilot announced they would have to jump — but there were only three parachutes on board.
Oprah stood up first and said, “I’m the richest woman in the world — I deserve one,” and with that, she grabbed a parachute and jumped.
Trump quickly said, “Well, I’m the President, so I get one too!” He grabbed a bag and leapt off the plane.
Obama turned to the little girl and said, “My dear, you are the future. Take the last parachute and save yourself.”
The little girl smiled and replied, “It’s okay, Mr. Obama — we both have parachutes. Trump just took my school bag!”

Excellent comment on YouTube's Bill Maher channel regarding his visit with Trump.
