The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Mad King Donald has the lowest 100-day job approval rating of any president in the past 80 years, with public pushback on many of his policies and extensive economic discontent, including broad fears of a recession, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll.

Thirty-nine percent of respondents in this ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll said they approve of how Trump is handling his job as president, down 6 percentage points from February, while 55% said they disapprove.

The previous low in approval for a president at or near 100 days in office, in polls dating to 1945, was Trump's 42% in 2017.


Seventy-three percent said the economy is in bad shape, 53% said it's gotten worse since Trump took office and 41% said their own finances have worsened.

Sixty-two percent said prices are rising. Seventy-one percent said they see his tariffs as a negative factor in price inflation.

Looking beyond the public's grim view of the economy, sixty-five percent said Trump's administration is trying to avoid complying with federal court orders, and 64% said he's going too far in trying to expand presidential powers.

Sixty-two percent said they don't think his administration respects the rule of law.

Mad King Donald is even underwater on immigration: 53%, said they disapprove of his handling of immigration while 46% approve.

And 77% oppose Mad King Donald's cuts in federal funding for medical research.

All in all, Americans are really starting to hate the incompetent, corrupt asshole.
