And this really shows how lousy a businessman the orang pile of dung is. Even mediocre business folks understand the law of supply and demand.

How is it a blessing-- because the more he bumbles and raves, the more discredited the MAGA movement is? That may be so, but he’s also destroying the country in the process.
And sadly, assuming we get a Democratic President in 2028-- no matter how well a job the next President does fixing what trump broke, the right-wing machine will do all they can to tear them down in the media, and spin stories of how much better things were under trump. And the American public has such a short memory, it may very well vote in another MAGA candidate in 2032.
This.
The forgetfulness is infuriating.
Bolding mine.
They voted for Trump. Thought will NOT happen.
The Beast? Nah. We gotta have Kennedy’s Lincoln Gold Plated (being the only upgrade) and send him off it that.
When all you have is a hammer…
“They call it the Star Wars. Nobody knows what’s going on.”

A judge has thrown out Kash “DOLLA DOLLA BILL Y’ALL” Patel’s $10 million defamation suit against a blogger who called him a “googly-eyed Kremlin bitch”.
From today. They’re not even good at hiding their incompetence.
Also, for some reason all the flags on the National Mall were at half-staff, despite there being no governmental order that I could find (and all the other flags, including at the White House, were at full staff). I assume they just haven’t gotten around to putting them back after they were lowered for Graham.
Legally approved nickname, then?
I’ve seen other approval ratings in the last week or so that are more around 39% or so (which has seemed to be Trump’s approval “floor,” give or take a percentage point or two); the number in that poll is obviously a lot lower, and I don’t know if Quinnipiac’s poll is an outlier, or represents a new trend.
I love that so much. It’s gonna’ be how I always talk about patel from this point forward. 
YouGov had him at 34% yesterday.

Enlighten me, which of these numbers am I supposed to feel relaxed and comfortable about?
Standby for indiscriminate air-to-air missile fire over Cental American sovereign territory.
Not quite as manly as destroying a fishing boat and leaving survivors to drown, but Hegseth is going to need SOMETHING to assuage his racist blood lust. And if that happens to be clearly marked commercial transport, well “¡Perdón, Aeroméxico!”…
YouGov is not reliable since they pay people to take their “polls”.
That, then, sounds exactly like the “numbers” outfit the convict de maison-blanche would trust and tout.
That’s not exactly accurate, but even so, how would that make them unreliable?
If those polls are taken the way I engage with YouGov then they’re polling people that answer polls to get points for gift cards. AIUI, YouGov polls are not random samples.
Speaking as a market researcher: as @crowmanyclouds just noted, their sample may or may not be a representative sample. “Unreliable,” in statistical/sampling terms, means that the results of their research may not be projectionable to the entire U.S.
(Frankly, that’s an issue which all pollsters and researchers face, and it’s just gotten worse with time, but that’s a topic which has been discussed numerous times on this board.)
