“According to a new poll out today from Strength in Numbers/ Verasight, conducted between April 10 and April 14, just 35% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s job performance. Sixty-one percent disapprove, a new low. Seventy-two percent of Americans disapprove of the way Trump is handling rising prices. In a generic ballot for Congress, voters prefer Democrats over Republicans by 50% to 43%.”

Apparently there's an NBC poll showing that Pope Leo leads in US approval ratings.
That's why Trump is trying to pick a fight with him. Orange Führer can't stand it if somebody is more popular than him. It's petty jealousy, plain and simple.

(P.S. Lots of organizations reporting on this poll, but I can't find a primary source. If y'all have one, will you leave it in comments please? Thanks! 🤘✌️🖖)
“Trump’s deteriorating mental state has become impossible to overlook, but Republicans are making excuses for it. ... But Raskin’s measure will force Republicans in Congress either to vote for an independent commission to evaluate Trump or to own his increasingly erratic behavior themselves.”

“About 45 minutes after attacking the Pope, Trump posted an image of himself in the place of Jesus, apparently healing a sick man in a bed, surrounded by a soldier, a nurse, a woman praying, and an older man. ... Amid popular revulsion at what people are calling heresy and blasphemy, former U.S. representative Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote: ‘It’s more than blasphemy. It’s an Antichrist spirit.’”

Making his priorities clear: “Trump continues to try to shore up the international right-wing authoritarian project even as people are turning against it. Today he threw the economic might of the United States of America behind Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán, who gutted Hungary’s democracy and turned the country into an authoritarian state.”

“Art of the Deal” my a$$: “Yesterday the president posted his own interpretation of the terms of the [ceasefire] agreement, but they were aspirational and asked for Iran to agree to terms that were less advantageous for the U.S. than the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that President Barack Obama negotiated in 2015 and Trump tore up in 2018.”

But no automatic registration to vote or for Medicare for All: “President Trump plans to automatically sign up military draft-eligible men for a potential draft, an ominous decision to make in the midst of a war on Iran.” 🤬

And so the backlash begins: “The most bloodthirsty MAGA acolytes are fuming at President Trump’s two-week ceasefire deal with Iran and his capitulation to its 10-point plan—a major win for the Iranian government.” 🙄
