Chapter 1: Why is Donald Trump's approval rating plummeting?
not surprisingly donald trump's approval is plummeting with the plummeting market with the plummeting economy it seems everything is plummeting right now in this trump regime let's just take a look at the latest ipsos poll trump's approval on the economy which for reasons that were unclear to me were previously
I don't know why, but now 51% of Americans disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling the economy. On this question, the U.S. should make Canada the 51st state because the – this is the stupidest question that we even have to mention. that the U.S. should make Canada the 51st state because the two countries are already so intertwined. 80% disagree, 17% agree. It's a good idea for the U.S.
to charge higher tariffs on imported goods, even if prices increase. 53% disagree, 32% agree. Trump's moves to shake up the economy are too erratic. 57% agree, 32% disagree. The U.S. should take over the Gaza Strip and develop the area for tourism. 84% disagree, 12% agree. Expanding U.S. territory will help the nation prosper. 68% disagree, 29% agree. I support Ukraine's use of U.S.
supplied arms to strike inside of Russia. 54% agree, 42% disagree. The problems of Ukraine are none of our business and we should not interfere. 57% disagree, 47% agree. Net favorables, Trump, negative 9%. Vance, negative 20%. Elon Musk, negative 21%. Trump's approval on handling the cost of living, 57% disapprove, 32% approve. Trump's approval on foreign policy, 48% disapprove, 37% approve.
Do you consider Canada an ally, a neutral country, or an enemy? 59% of Americans say an ally, only 2% say an enemy, which is interesting because now if you ran that poll in Canada, I think only 25% to 30% of Canadians still view the United States as an ally, even though the American people stand with Canada because of the Trump regime's policies and Trump's unfavorability policies.
continues to soar, his favorability plummets. And I mean, look, he brought the NATO Secretary General into the Oval Office on Thursday. And what Donald Trump was talking about was invading Los Angeles. to take the water and turn on a faucet. Here's what Trump talked about in front of the NATO Secretary General and the world press.
I broke into Los Angeles. Can you believe it? I had a break in. I invaded Los Angeles and we opened up the water and the water is now flowing down. They have so much water, they don't know what to do. They were sending it out to the Pacific for environmental reasons. Okay, can you believe it? And in the meantime, they lost 25,000 houses. They lost, and nobody's ever seen anything like it.
I guess he's a psychotic individual. I live in Los Angeles. What he's saying is not true. What he did do is send the Army Corps of Engineers to invade and break into reservoirs in Northern California, nowhere near Southern California, after the fires were already out. And then he dumped over 2 billion gallons of water
onto farmland in central and northern california nowhere near where the fires were previously which were put out and he destroyed the farmers livelihoods going into the summers and those were some of the areas that were reddish in california those were the republican voter farmers and he destroyed their he destroyed their summer so It's a bunch of insanity.

Chapter 2: What are the public opinions on recent U.S. policies?
that cruelty is the point, lay off 70,000 people from Veterans Affairs, 10,000 people from the Social Security Administration, half the staff at the Department of Education, get rid of the national parks, while Elon... helps himself with his contracts while Donald goes around the NASCAR racetrack while half the country was suffering from severe weather events.
Like they're not, they're not doing the things. And then your Republican colleagues are just like, trust me, bro. Trust me. You need pain. That's their line. Their line is you need to experience this pain and suffering while
well or the greater good do your constituents want pain and suffering and infliction of of harm absolutely not and you know one of the worst things that i heard the other day apparently there's a report that maybe it was howard lutnik or it was scott bessen one of those billionaire cabinet secretaries actually said that we should go into a recession can you believe that
that somehow going into a recession would be a good thing for America. And I was saying to my friends, like we need to, We need to get back to basics here. We need to do whatever we can. We need to have a coalition to prevent recession. I call it CPR.
We need CPR for this economy to prevent us from going into recession and preventing all the collateral damage that's about to happen in the form of unemployment and everything else.
Finally, tell us some of the things that you're doing. I mean, reaching out to your constituents, what you recommend other Democrats to be doing. I mean, your constituents aren't just Democrats. I mean, we're Republicans, independents, people who were not political until politics just whacked them. What are you doing now to kind of reach out?
I'm sure you're hearing, Congressman, we want you to fight. And what does that mean to you? What are you doing to fight?
Yeah, so I think it means a few things. First of all, I'm doing a lot of town hall meetings. A lot of them are even pop-up town hall meetings where we find out about an executive order in the morning. And then we say, look, we got to talk about this with our constituents either today or the next day.
And believe it or not, we had like 1,600 people just show up for one of these pop-up town hall meetings because of the level of concern and fear and anger and all of the above. In terms of how do we fight, I think there are a few ways that we have to fight. One, we absolutely have to lift up our voices at this point.
