The state of our union is weak
by digby
Pelosi invited trump to give his big speech now that he’s had his time out and he’s promising to be a good boy. We know he’ll tell the world that he’s the greatest leader the world has ever known and the number of his accomplishments is unprecedented.
Nobody’s buying it:
That’s from the NBC/WSJ poll.
This is from the new Monmouth poll:
President Trump’s State of the Union address was initially scheduled to be delivered this week, but was postponed by the shutdown. While he is likely to give his administration a glowing review when he does deliver it, less than half of the public feels that the current state of the union is either very (13%) Monmouth University Polling Institute 01/28/19 or somewhat (35%) strong. Another 27% say it is not too strong and 22% say it is not strong at all. The 48% who currently feel the state of the union is at least somewhat strong is down from 55% who said the same in January 2018. The decline of confidence in the state of the union over the past year cuts across all partisan groups – going from 76% to 71% among Republicans, from 52% to 44% among independents, and from 42% to 34% among Democrats.
He’s making America weak again.
In case you were wondering, though, his brainwashed cult is sticking with him, though:
I don’t know what to say about these people anymore. They worship the guy and it seems nothing he does will change their minds. What I can’t figure out is why he doesn’t take advantage of that and just say, “We don’t need a wall anymore. I’ve solved the immigration problem. It’s over, I won.” They would obviously buy it and he could just move on.
He is so politically inept that he keeps trying to please a base that clearly thinks he’s a God and can do no wrong. Why bother?
