Summary
Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any newly elected U.S. president since World War II, except for himself in 2017.
While his immigration policies and government downsizing have support, controversial moves—like ending birthright citizenship and renaming the Gulf of Mexico—face strong opposition.
Economic concerns, particularly rising prices, remain a major issue for voters.
Analysts say Trump’s popularity will likely hinge on broader economic and immigration policies, with potential political consequences for Republicans in the 2026 elections.
I agree that there is genocide happening. I also understand that the guy who got elected is actively in favor of it and wouldn’t lift a finger to stop it if everyone in the country begged him, while the person who lost was trying to balance millions of conflicting priorities (and sadly those dying are not the top priorities) and the result isn’t what I want. There are other things to consider after you realize you’re not going to get what you want.
