Donald French, Michelle Goldberg, and Jamelle Bouie dissect Trump’s 2024 win: despite claimed mandates, approval remains low (38-41%). They highlight a narrow 1.5% popular vote margin, angry Democrats, and overlooked voter consequences, especially in Medicaid policy shifts affecting Republican bases.

Trump voters now hate the MAGA policies they voted for: analysis

Now eight and one-half months into his second presidency, Donald Trump is being inundated with polls that show him with weak approval ratings — including 38 percent (Leger), 40 percent (YouGov and Pew Researcher Center) and 41 percent (Marist College).

I believe that Biden was one of the better presidents of the last few decades, that any self styled "progressive" voter who either abstained or voted for a third party candidate deserves blame, that the US media in general and the NYT in particular should focus more on Trump's unfitness for office, and that the Trump regime is a right wing authoritarian horror.

I also believe that effective opposition to Trump and his supporters requires -- amongst many other things -- frank discussion of the shortcomings of the Biden candidacy last year, and that to lambast Michelle Goldberg as "complicit in fascism" does not advance this discussion and is grossly unfair to a thoughtful progressive journalist.

“The selection of Gaetz just rips the mask off. With it, Trump is trolling not just his defeated opponents but many of his craven establishment supporters. It’s like Caligula trying to make his horse a consul.” #MichelleGoldberg https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/14/opinion/i-cant-wait-for-matt-gaetzs-confirmation-hearings.html
Opinion | Matt Gaetz Is the Perfect Man for the Job

Trump’s choice to lead the Justice Department is a flagrant provocation that is, like a pulpy B movie, so bad it’s good.

@anneapplebaum2000 Yes. I’m not listening to the postmortems. Most of the are coming from people who got it wrong to begin with. Maybe it’s just my “vnutrennaya emigratsia” like #MichelleGoldberg said.
