The Umass elmhurst poll. How long a search before you found that meaningless poll. It even sounds far left weighted..try reading Fox poll or a couple of the other poll takers like cnn poll, Trump is still up over water on all serious issues. Econ. Border protection, stopping domestic crime everything is better or getting better now that we have a president that’s not dead from the neck up ( meathead)


Ha ha. You must get your talking points from Trump. "Fake news." I suppose you're going to next tell me that Trump is up by 90%. Or if you're getting your numbers directly from him, maybe you'll say he's up 1500%.

I get my stories from searching the news, and I don't link to stories behind paywalls. No need to page down to get to these.

But yeah, Trump cries about it just like you:
Trump Loses It on CNBC When Hosts Fact Check Insane Approval Rating Whopper: NBC Is the ‘Worst’

KERNEN: Overall poll numbers, you don’t have the best you ever had, and overall poll numbers you do. I cited one of those. I have the, I have best poll numbers I’ve ever had. Among Republicans

TRUMP: I have poll numbers where I’m 71 percent. I have the best poll numbers.

KERNEN: Those are among Republicans they you know, you’ve got

TRUMP: No, no, no. Among Republicans, 94 and 95 percent. No, I’m talking about generally. Let me put it this way. There was a gentleman on Harry Emden yesterday on CNN, and he went crazy over how well Trump was doing. Now, you know, you don’t put that on because I think CBS is a shade. Actually, CNN is a better shade than NBC. I think NBC is probably the worst of them all. But if you check CNN tomorrow, watch Harry Emden. And you’ll see about the numbers, but that’s okay. We have to defend ourselves, yeah. Thank you, protect…

KERNEN: I know, but there are other, they can cite, your haters cite polls that have you down in the 30s, Mr. President, and, you know.

TRUMP: Yeah, but they’re fake polls, Joe.

Bla bla bla .. no matter how you spin it, it means big revenue for the US. How do you not see that..stock market near all time high. Manufacturing coming back.. Everything’s coming up roses.. as we defund the woke and illogical policies of the Biden catastrophe..

It's tax revenue, and it still doesn't outdo the tax cuts he gave to his billionaire friends, while the tariffs kill the US industrial sector.

It's not stopping at the BLS. Trump is getting his Energy Secretary to revise climate reports.

Energy secretary says Trump administration may alter past National Climate Assessments
www.yahoo.com/news/articles/energy-secretary-says-trump-administration-213814206.html
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said this week the Trump administration plans to review and potentially alter the nation's climate science reports.

In a Tuesday appearance on CNN's The Source, Wright told CNN host Kaitlan Collins the National Climate Assessments have been removed from government websites "because we're reviewing them."

"We will come out with updated reports on those and with comments on those," Wright said.


No surprise. Trump showed he didn't care about government data when he marked up that hurricane map with his Sharpie.

Here’s my feelings on Tarriffs.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:!!! To all of you that thought you knew more about tarriffs and how they work..LIL .. wrong again… Trump is using tarriffs to MAGA and to bring back some integrity to the country’s that wanted to go woke.. Trump is the one and only president that saw the need to put his foot down and direct these left leaning countrys to come to their senses with some common sense


Neat, but tariffs are paid, not by the exporting country, but by the importing party, which when it's a merchant, it just gets passed on to the customers. So it's like a new sales tax, even on things that can't be made in the US, like coffee and consumer electronics. And it raises anti-US sentiment internationally. Trump is an imbecile.

Nothing against Canadians but I dont think their drop in visiting the US will be a big hurt upon our country…. Anyway , your democratic slant on the economy isn’t being heard look at the polls Trump is up on democrats on every important issue. Economy, border, crime, education, foreign affairs, etc…those are the facts.


OK, but:
Not Only A Border Issue: Southern State Hit By Canadian Boycott Tries To Win Tourists Back
www.msn.com/en-us/travel/north-america-and-caribbean-travel/not-only-a-border-issue-southern-state-hit-by-canadian-boycott-tries-to-win-tourists-back/ar-AA1JYDgg?ocid=BingNewsSerp
According to an article published by the Tallahassee Democrat, Canadian visitors are low compared to last year. In the first three months of 2025, Canadians were down 3.4%, equal to about 42,000 fewer visitors. These numbers are even worse in some areas of Florida. For instance, Visit Lauderdale President and CEO Stacy Ritter said Canadian tourists were down by 20%.

These now comprise 28% of the international visitors heading to Florida, and therefore significantly impact the local economy. In particular, Canadian tourists supply about 16% of Florida’s sales taxes and contribute about $130 billion to the state’s economy.

J Biden is a Criminal not Yet charged of all his crimes while in office.


If Biden is such a criminal, then why did the Congressional Republicans and Trump's DOJ fail to even come up with charges against him? Instead, he's got Tulsi Gabbard to pretend Barack Obama committed treason (he didn't).

And even the sycophant Gabbard has nothing on Biden.

'She's just doing all she can to to distract from the fact that Trump won't release the Epstein docs as previously promised.'


Because Trump was/is being pressured not to release the Epstein files as was the case when Biden was in power. An upset voter base change his mind. Unfortunately, when a Senate Republican tried to have the files released with full transparency, the resolution was blocked by Senate Democrats a while ago.


Not quite the same. Senator Mullin's request for unanimous consent was rejected -- possibly going too far. Grand Jury material is always highly classified, where all parties are prohibited by law of ever discussing the proceedings even years afterward.

And if Republicans wanted "full transparency", then why are they blocking it in every other vote?

Are you sure you live in the US ? Because you post things that are completely false. Investments means revenue in the future because of textile mills coming back to the south. Computer chips in Cali. Three new jet production here in NC alone.. america is on its way back to the most prosperous place in the world thanks to President Trump.. No one actually believes the constant lies coming from your one group..


Do you honestly think that industrial facilities setup this year were caused by Trump? Those things take years to arrange. We're only just starting seeing the fruits of Biden's IRA. Trump, meanwhile, is destroying investor confidence by reneging diplomatic arrangements with our best trading partners. I'll say it again: That "investment" Trump claimed are exaggerated, not legally obligated and much of that was already going to happen, or was negotiated under Biden.
www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-points-51-trillion-investments-middle-east-arent-exactly-real-rcna209811

And a nit-pick: Computer chips mostly don't come from California. I used to work for Intel, and it's a highly automated process, taking a lot of space. California land & power is expensive, so most of that moved to places like New Mexico, decades ago. Even Biden's CHIPS Act is paying for newer fabs in Ohio & Texas. Nobody really makes chips in California, outside the R&D plants.

Trump defends firing labor statistics chief after weak jobs report
thehill.com/homenews/administration/5434438-trump-defends-firing-labor-statistics-chief/
Trump fired the head of Bureau of Labor Statistics because they reported employment numbers he didn't like. He basically shot the messenger. The BLS head doesn't just come up with the numbers on their own. She has a whole department of researchers and economists to come up with the best numbers they can in real time, while most of the data hasn't even come in, yet. But Trump thinks he knows better, and fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer, claiming she deliberately "rigged" the numbers to make him look bad and make Kamala Harris look better.

Meanwhile, Trump is confused at how percentages and prices work.

Trump makes laughable claim about drug prices
www.nj.com/politics/2025/07/trump-makes-laughable-claim-about-drug-pricesand-is-immediately-ridiculed.html
On Tuesday, Trump claimed that he could lower drug prices by 1500%—a mathematically impossible number since it suggests drug companies would be paying the consumer to take the drug. Many critics immediately roasted the president on social media platform X, explaining that Trump’s math was not adding up.

“This is something that nobody else can do. We’re going to get the drug prices down, not 30 or 40%, which would be great, not 50 or 60,” Trump said on Tuesday. “No, we’re going to get them down 1000%, 600%, 500%, 1500%.”

“Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable because I’ve used a certain talent that I have and convinced the drug companies that have no choice,” he added.

Good profile. The main photo shows that you can wear a jacket & tie, and the 2nd does a good job suggesting that you're physically fit. The blurb appears thoughtful and well-written. All the other info filled-in. Overall, no corrections needed. I'd rate it 10/10.

Good luck!

Apparently updated, with interests and basic info filled in. Good job, but choosing not to put any information in the blurb or headline or even the profession probably doesn't do you any favors. Maybe the "Bleh..." is supposed to show that you're too cool to care, but you could have used that space to briefly introduce yourself with what you're like, and what you're looking for, here.

While the photos are clear and well-lit, They're all basically the same shot. Here's a tip: Figure out where the lens is on your camera/phone and look into it when taking the photo. Maybe upload other shots, too, like being out at interesting places, doing what you like to do. The biggest difference in these shots is your age and hair color.

But it's clear from the photos that you're an attractive, young woman, and lots of people don't even seem to read the profiles, anyway, so you'll probably do alright. But for the profile with the blurb and headline that could be so much better, I'd only rate it 6/10.

Good luck!

Hard to make that connection when, yes, the newly heard info has been out there. It was hidden from the investigations.. Just wait the truth is there now, we just have to get the Trump haters to open their mind and accept it.

No, we know the new information is the same as the old information because when DNI Tulsi Gabbard tried to make her case on Fox, and was asked what the new information was, all she could say was "You'll have to read the report." She has nothing new. She's just doing all she can to to distract from the fact that Trump won't release the Epstein docs as previously promised.

Hey--look over there! Squirrel!! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! Etc..

Do your Best Work for USA Trump!


Your link is broken.

Maybe they took the story down because Trump's "trade deal" is just the EU agreeing that US consumers will be paying a 15% import tax on goods from Europe. And even NewsMax knows that it's bad news for Americans. Trump is an imbecile.

My evidence is the prices. Google it. Gas prices in N.C. Meantime Trump is at it again, winning , winning, winning. The art of the deal.. Trump got the EU to invest 600 billion in U.S. and buy 750 billion in energy while still paying 15% tarriffs. Great deal for America. The wins keep coming. Is anybody getting tired of winning yet?


I think I see your problem. You seem to think President Trump isn't lying. Spoiler: He's lying a lot!

Here's an article I found that's only a few days old:
Five false claims Trump made about inflation last night
www.cnn.com/2025/07/23/politics/fact-check-trump-inflation-lies
In a speech Tuesday night to Republican members of Congress, Trump delivered a series of inaccurate assertions on the subject of prices.

He wrongly claimed that gas was selling Tuesday for below $2 a gallon “in five different states” (it was actually zero states); that prices are “all down” (consumer prices are up under Trump); that Democrats are lying when they say prices are up (these Democrats are correct); that grocery prices “are down” (they are up under Trump); and that core inflation is “below 2%” (it’s 2.9%, per the Consumer Price Index).


And trump may have claimed to get the EU to invest $600 billion into the US, but there was obviously BS, as laid out in reports.

EU vowed $600B US economy investment from Trump trade deal. Hours later, European bloc admitted it can’t back that promise
www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/eu-vowed-600b-us-economy-investment-from-trump-trade-deal-hours-later-european-bloc-admitted-it-can-t-back-that-promise/ar-AA1JsfMW?ocid=BingNewsVerp
The president also claimed that the agreement would bring $600 billion into American coffers by way of investments made by the EU into U.S. companies.

But on Monday, multiple EU officials walked back the massive outlay by noting that it would be made by a variety of private companies over which the bloc has no authority when it comes to corporate spending priorities.


Basically the Trump Admin just counted up all the money they expect to be spent in the US that they can find, any time, including decades into the future, and calls that investments in the US from his trade deals, even if that money was already going to be spent, anyway, with or without a deal.

Your memory is Biden like..eggs were $6 for a dozen jumbos the beginning of ‘25, gas was well over $3. Now those same eggs are $3 and gas here is $2.65..that is cheaper .. just cause you say it , doesn’t make it true…

So because you say it it's true? You make a lot of claims and provide no evidence. Meanwhile Cheeto Mussolini cannot understand that tariffs are a tax on consumers--Mexico is not going to pay 30% on their exports, but Americans will be paying 30% more. Luckily, our eggs don't come from outside the US, but our coffee from Columbia will get a tax hike of 50%. Trump is an imbecile.

Ludicrous to think prices were lower when Biden left office. Your mind is ambidextrous, left is right and right is left. Show me any proof that anything was cheaper when the numb nuts left office . You democrats make up your own facts.

Not ludicrous. I remember Republicans harping on Biden about inflation, so I noted prices of things in general when he left office to see where we'd go with Trump. The cheapest gas was $3.79/gal. and the organic milk we buy was $7.99/gal.. The cheapest eggs at Trader Joes were $2.49. Now, the cheapest gas is $4.29 (after bounding up to $5.29), milk is $10.49 and eggs are "only" $3.99 (down from $6.99). Maybe I should've taken photos, but it's not like facts shut you up, either.

It's a really good profile. Some clear photos and a brief, thoughtful blurb. You even filled in the headline which is usually a pet peeve of mine. Shows some thought and effort.

The photos would be nicer if you weren't wearing a hat as if to hide a bad haircut, and I think a more flattering angle is from above eye level. Also find the lens of your camera/phone and make sure to look into it when snapping selfies. overall the photos are mostly clear and well-lit.

Overall, great work! I might've taken points off for the extremely casual wear, but compared to most other profiles I see, I have to give this 10/10.

Good luck!

Not collusion. The Trump DOJ is being run by idiots and the good lawyers are leaving as fast as they can get a new job. Some even sooner than that. Now all they have are the worse lawyers who will put up with the illegal shenanigans committed by the Administration.

The losses will continue, and the only reason Judges will be prejudiced is because they'll become all too aware of DOJ lawyers' propensity to lie, mislead and fumble their cases.

The reason for our drop in tourism is the fact that Biden and his crew of morons created the worst image of America with all the crime the dems let happen without any penalties. Prices of everything so high and the trash and crap int the streets that the dems though was a good thing. Planes falling out of the sky. Why would anyone want to come here and ruin their vision of America being the best place on earth. Trump is fixing that with all the investments coming our way from Japan and many other countries.. Keep it up Mr. TRUMP..Your support is still much higher than the democrats that have no clue how to govern successfully ..


So Biden wrecked the country, but Canadian animosity for US only started in the past few months?

Canadian Visitors To U.S. Plummet 33% In June—Sixth Straight Month Of Steep Declines
www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/canadian-visitors-to-us-plummet-33-in-june-sixth-straight-month-of-steep-declines/ar-AA1IlwKh?ocid=BingNewsVerp

Last year, Canadian tourists made up roughly one-quarter of all foreign travelers who came to the United States, according to the U.S. National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO), collectively spend $20.5 billion in 2024—nearly double the $10.4 billion Americans spent at McDonald’s over the same period. The U.S. Travel Association (USTA) warned in February that even a 10% drop in Canadian inbound tourism could translate to a $2.1 billion in lost spending and 140,000 jobs jeopardized in the hospitality and related sectors—and the new data suggest those losses will be exponentially larger.
