    I’m going to go out on a limb and say that I understand that Trump might be confused about this. He isn’t doing anything that he didn’t specifically say he would do when he was asking for people’s votes. They loved him before the election. They loved voting for him. I can understand why he might not believe that suddenly they don’t like him. Somewhat the same for Musk except he started crashing back with the purchase of Twitter so he should have had time to understand that he was driving his fans away the further right-psycho he got.

      One of the rhetorically effective things about his campaign messaging was how broad and vague it was. Pundits, podcasters, influencers, and those manipulating the algorithms of social media, took that messaging, isolated parts of it and recontextualized those parts for specific audiences.

      So while he may have assumed he was being very clear about what he was going to do, the messaging many of his voters got was totally detached from his intentions.

      A good example of this is people who thought that the tariffs would somehow be a tax levied on foreign countries, not a sales tax on imported goods. Or those who thought the tariffs would be targeted at specific goods categories to benefit their particular industry, not a blanket tariff that impacts their upstream supply chain.

      He told his subordinate on the campaign to get voters to vote for him, he assumed that meant convince them he was right, but that was impossible, the only ones that could get him the numbers he liked were the ones who just twisted what he said till people agreed with it.

      This is what happens when you steal an election

    We’ve got zionists running through the streets of New York assaulting people they perceive to be possibly arab, a mayor who is only there because trump pardoned him for his crimes, and trump, who “demands” the polls show him whatever he wants to see. It just gets crazier, stupider, and more corrupt every day, and we are only 2/48ths of the way to trump being out of office, assuming he leaves peacefully. He needs to be impeached.

      The link does go to Newsweek, though, which is not exactly the most credible source either…

    President Donald Trump has said pollsters that have shown his approval ratings sliding in recent weeks should be investigated for “election fraud.”

    Responding to the polls, Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday: “They are negative criminals who apologize to their subscribers and readers after I win elections big, much bigger than their polls showed I would win, loose a lot of credibility, and then go on cheating and lying for the next cycle, only worse.”

    It’s not an election, and I hurt myself reading that deeply moronic quote. How is this man in charge of anything?

          Feel like that should be a federal offense, zero excuse why POTUS should ever publish a misspelled word with the resources at their disposal.

        I think of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, masters of aimlessness, crisis and noise, firing all those experienced people who have been quietly and competently managing government departments for years or decades. This only looks like progress to fools.

          I mean, he is doing what he’s said he would and running the country like a business. Which often results in paying yourself a huge bonus and making a lot of experienced workers redundant.

          Unfortunately all of his past businesses have failed horribly.

        That was really a master class, I haven’t seen one of those in awhile. He used the story technique to make you feel dumb for falling for these busy looking leaders. It was dramatic in comparison. I’m seriously impressed.

        So you’re completely correct. Progressives and Democrats, in general, are boring. Magas go around with coal burning trucks, racist outbursts, laws that usually go after the “other.” How do the progressives and democrats go after that sweet, sweet, comparison story without looking like dipshits.

      Did he admit to lying and cheating there?

        Not sure whether you’re joking, but no, the subject of “loose [sic] a lot of credibility, and then go on cheating and lying” is “They” from the beginning of the sentence. Surprisingly, the whole thing hangs together grammatically.
