Summary
A Fox News host, Jessica Tarlov, highlighted Trump’s declining approval ratings, citing a new Quinnipiac poll showing 53% of voters disapprove of his second-term performance.
Trump is “underwater on everything” including economy, federal workforce management, Ukraine-Russia policy, and trade relations with Mexico and Canada.
The polling slide comes amid stock market tumbles, federal worker layoffs, and trade tensions.
Tarlov noted that Republican members of Congress are facing hostile town halls where constituents are challenging them on federal workforce cuts, including at the VA. Some Republicans have dismissed these angry constituents as “paid actors.”
I don’t know, I think what will just end up happening is china’s “dollar” taking its place instead
We’re just going to end up exchanging one superpower for another, it’s not going to fundamentally fix the problem. For that you’d need to do it more sensibly
I won’t say that won’t happen. But interestingly, China isn’t trying to make their currency a hegemonic currency. Instead, they’ve been promoting currency swaps that use both local currencies. And it’s picking up speed. All the BRICS nations are making currency swap agreements amongst each other. As I said in another post, I have no idea if this can go global. But it’s something I hope we can all work towards. Any currency hegemon is bad for the world. The strangest thing is it appears China agrees, regardless of what western propaganda says about China.
