According to the NBC News Decision Desk Poll released on Sunday, only 37 percent of adults approve of Trump’s work as president. Meanwhile, 63 percent disapprove, including 50 percent who disapprove strongly. Some of that strong disapproval comes from Trump’s handling of skyrocketing costs for most households: Among the over 32,000 American adults that NBC News surveyed over two weeks in March and April, 52 percent said they “strongly disapprove” and 16 percent “somewhat disapprove” of Trump’s handling of inflation and the cost of living.

The last part is why we'll see the rare Trump threat follow-through on firing the Fed chair. He will install a sycophant to juice the economy with extremely low interest rates, and create a perception of a healthy economy until the midterms pass.

Lucky that there's no downside to overdosing on artificial stimulants.

Seems there's a mandate of citizens not happy with him in the position. I call a vote of no confidenc... oh, right, we don't do that here. Or rather, we give any power of removal to the other representatives, with the assumption that the corruption isn't spread that deep.

Oh he's fucked. That's over a third of people that see him fuck up the economy, start random wars, create the USGestapo, and say "Yeah, this guy is doing it right."

This will be the final final nail in his coffin after the gazillion others. /s
