Well, Democrats have a serious problem. President Trump's approval ratings maintain their status. He's somewhere close to 50%, which is higher than he has been nearly in his entire political career. His main policies are quite popular, ranging from crackdowns on illegal immigration, which is a very popular position, to even his positions with regard to Doge.
Again, most Americans are into cutting waste, fraud, and abuse, and Democrats really don't know how to deal with it. And Democrats who spend at least a moment in the real world know this. So Bill Maher, with whom I am friendly, but Bill is definitely a Democrat. He is not a Republican. Maher was on his show on Friday night, real time on HBO.
And there he was mocking the Democrats over their absolute incompetence.
This state has almost 400,000 regulations. I just put in a new roof because the fire, I thought, oh, let's get a roof that's not going to burn up. Two inspections. Why are you inspecting my roof? It's my roof. If it falls on me, that's my problem. And we're taxed more than any other state.
People are leaving these kind of states for places where they're not, they feel the heavy breath of government on them. It's just, it's not that hard for Democrats to understand this, but they seem to be incapable of doing anything about it.
Maher, of course, is totally correct about this. And if you follow people's revealed preferences, meaning not what they say they like, but what they actually like, the feet are moving south. The feet are moving from blue to red. That'd be my family, be my company. And people are literally moving from blue areas to red areas because red areas are better to live.
Charlemagne, the God, the radio host, he says that the Democratic Party at this point is trashed.

Chapter 2: Why are Democrats struggling with Trump's approval ratings?
Okay, so does that inspire? The answer there is no. Chuck Schumer is getting run over by the Congress, run by Republicans.
While the possibility of a resurgent Bernie Sanders should scare everybody who has money in the stock market, or, you know, money in general, in these uncertain economic times with tariff tensions, recession worries, stubborn inflation, it's no surprise that gold prices keep breaking records.

Chapter 3: What are the criticisms of Democratic governance?
The sponsorship offers range from $75,000 to $200,000, with the promise of logo and branding opportunities according to a nine-page document sent to potential sponsors and obtained by CNN. The egg roll has long been privately funded without taxpayer dollars, largely through the American Egg Board, which also provides tens of thousands of eggs for the occasion.
All the money raised by Harbinger will go to the White House Historical Association. But the solicitation of sponsorships marks an unprecedented offering of corporate branding opportunities on White House grounds running counter to long-established regulations prohibiting the use of public office for private gain. A former official said this is an enterprise.
This is not your grandmother's Easter egg roll where people lined up outside the gate and go and roll an egg and get a little gift bag and walk out. The pitch document includes logos for both the White House and Harbinger, which previously produced the event during President Trump's first term and is offering initial planning and event day execution for sponsors that sign on.
It features imagery of Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, members of the Trump family, the Easter Bunny and the White House press corps, including CNN correspondent Caitlin Collins. The document says sponsors of the White House Easter egg rule provide financial support activities and giveaways to enhance the event while gaining valuable brand visibility and national recognition.
So what does this mean? It means that you can have naming rights for a key area or an element, a sponsor logo featured on event signage, custom branded baskets, snacks, beverages, or souvenirs. Now, is any of this like truly awful? No, I mean, who cares? This idea, this is some sort of open bribery or something like that.
It seems to me that if you're raising money for charity and people want a sponsorship opportunity attached, that's true for pretty much every private charitable enterprise I've ever associated with or seen. Go to, seriously, a charity dinner and you will see a bunch of corporate sponsors of the charity dinner. And that's where the money comes from. Is this a big deal? It isn't.
Except that if the economy sinks, then Democrats are going to try to tie this to President Trump. The same thing is true with regard to, for example, Tesla. So President Trump did a big presser, you'll recall a few weeks ago, on the lawn over at the White House where he talked about buying a Tesla.
And this was ripped on by the members of the media, suggesting this is a form of corruption, this is Trump trying to prop up the Tesla stock or whatever. Well, the truth is that Joe Biden had done exactly the same thing with Stellantis. There's nothing really new here. But that's not the point. The point is the close cooperation, which I think is quite good, between Trump
and people who are successful in business is going to be wrapped around the Republican Party's neck and capitalism's neck if the economy should shift south. That right there is the biggest problem that Trump, it's why we cannot afford either as a country or as a body politic for this administration to economically downturn.
