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.
If you told people the best way to pay off their debt was to cut their income and then try to cut some of their expenses, they'd laugh at you. Somehow Conservatives have been able to peddle that narrative for 40 years and, although they have never made it work, provincially or federally, they still have people believing them that the first thing to do is cut income (taxes). I voted for Harper the first time in hopes that maybe he had a different take being an "economist". Did not vote for him again.
This is all polls, given that ballots won't be counted until after 7pm April 28. If you didn't vote this weekend at advance, get out and vote on the 28th. Take your Voter Information card and driver's licence if you have them.
Whew. As a GenX, I didn't have any of those either. In fact I'm quite sure my Silent Gen parents didn't either. I don't know anyone who managed to pay off their mortgage before age 40 or 45 and the passive income only came as retirement funds after age 65.
Don't 1/3 of Americans believe the world is 6000 years old? Earth is flat? and other nonsense? Why wouldn't they believe misinformation/propaganda, Russian or otherwise?
Trump has learned that people will allow him to keep crossing over their "red line" and will draw an new red line. He's been doing it for years. Now Americans are saying he can throw out the Constitution, so long as they aren't yet personally impacted, but they will react at some future point when he gets even worse, maybe.
So what? The election is over for at least another 18 months or 3 1/2 years - if there is another full election. Doesn't matter now that Trump already had their vote and won. 99.9% can disapprove and nothing will change.
In fairness to Trump, he has never, ever experienced the consequences of his actions. Bankrupt? Didn't put a dent in his life since his father and banks kept the money flowing to him regardless, more than once. Rapist? No jail time. Fraudster? No jail, not sure that any fines have even been paid. So why would he think, when nothing bad happens to him and he can still golf the weekend away, that anything bad will happen to all the people losing their jobs, their investments, their retirement, their homes? Why don't they all have rich fathers and sycophantic bankers to bail them out? At very least they should have Russian mafia backers like he does, that make it look like he's a billionaire, even if it really is billions in debt to them.
UK and Italy are playing Trump's game. He doesn't negotiate. He demands tribute and only honours agreements if they are a win for him and he feels like honouring it at the time. Canada has a Trump negotiated trade agreement - the best agreement ever, in his parlance. It is apparently not worth the paper it is written on.
Countries must negotiate trade agreements - with everyone except the USA. And citizens must support their countries by not purchasing any thing from the USA.
As for the few Americans that didn't vote for Trump, so sorry but your fellow Americans still fully support him. So it isn't "just Trump", it is America that is the problem. Trump is simply reflecting who the majority of Americans really are.
I'm disappointed that so many people are still headed south. Maybe it is travel that was booked prior to January or they have kids in uni that need to come home or something. I hope April is double the March numbers.
Florida is already making it normal for children to be the future workforce.
