Trump's big money backers are also furious. Influential billionaire who backed Trump unleashes on President for 'eroding the brand of America' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/yourmon...nleashes-President-eroding-brand-America.html Citadel CEO Ken Griffin is a Republican mega-donor and until recently a major supporter of President Donald Trump. But in a stunning rebuke, Griffin — the 33rd richest person in the world — warned that Trump's policies are damaging the US's global reputation. 'The United States was more than just a nation. It's a brand — a universal brand,' Griffin said on Wednesday at the Semafor World Economy Summit in Washington. 'Whether it's our culture, our financial strength, our military strength …. America rose beyond just being a country. 'It was like an aspiration for most the world. And we're eroding that brand right now.' Griffin, who runs one of the world's largest hedge funds, said investors are growing increasingly hesitant about putting money into the US. The billionaire said Treasury bonds have been particularly affected because Trump's actions have destroyed the belief that America will remain trustworthy and rational in global financial markets. 'If you think of your behavior as a consumer, how many times do you buy a product with a brand on it because you trust that brand?' Griffin said. 'In the financial markets, no brand compares to the brand of the US Treasuries — the strength of the US dollar and the strength and the creditworthiness of US Treasuries. 'No brand came close. We put that brand at risk. It can take a very long time — a very long time — to remove the tarnish on a brand,' he added. Griffin's remarks come after Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariff announcement on April 2, which sparked chaos in bond markets. Treasury bonds — typically considered a safe haven — dropped sharply, as fears of a prolonged trade war grew. It was this 'fire sale' that forced Trump to delay most tariffs for 90 days. Griffin is not alone in his criticism. Several high profile investors and founders now outwardly criticizing the president as they worry the US is inflicting large irreversible damage on its own and the world economy. Legendary investor Warren Buffett called the tariffs 'an act of war' and 'a tax on goods.' JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has said the administration's policies will cause 'considerable turbulence' in the economy and warned of the risk of recession. Trump ally Bill Ackman said Trump's tariffs were 'destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner.' Even Elon Musk who runs the government's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has broken with the president on tariffs. Musk's criticism has taken aim a Peter Navarro, one of the architects of the tariff policies, calling the fellow Trump ally, 'dumber than a sack of bricks,' on X. Musk also said he wants the US and Europe to shift into a tariff-free environment.
Since he cant run again or will cancel elections and install himself as dictator he doesn't need them anymore
So much for winning. New polls show that President Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit record lows as he nears the 100-day mark of his second term on Tuesday. An ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll found that Trump has the lowest 100-day approval rating of any president in the past 80 years, with only 39 percent of respondents saying they approve of Trump’s term thus far. The 80-year comparison appears to refer to when Gallup first started measuring public approval of presidents, back during President Harry Truman’s term; according to data compiled by ABC, Trump had the lowest approval ratings of all presidents at 100 days in both of his terms, and he’s the only president to have the disapproval of the majority of Americans only three months into his term. Seventy-two percent of respondents to the ABC poll also said they believe Trump’s economic policies—such as his tariff-induced global trade war—will likely cause a recession in the short term, and 53 percent believe the economy has gotten worse since Trump took office. More than 60 percent said that his administration does not respect the rule of law and that he is going too far in trying to expand his power. Majorities also disapproved of nearly every other action. The poll asked about Trump’s moves—reducing funding for medical research, shutting down the Department of Education, freezing foreign humanitarian aid, seeking to deport international students, and sending a group of Venezuelans to a notorious prison in El Salvador without due process—and they were all disliked. Meanwhile, a new NBC News Stay Tuned poll found 55 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump’s approach to his second term. Majorities also disapprove of his handling of border security and immigration and his tariff policy, thepoll found. There’s more. A CNN poll found only 22 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s approach to the job, with broad disapproval on issues ranging from the economy to managing the federal government, immigration, and how he’s handling foreign affairs. Spokespeople for the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. So far, Trump has avoided directly addressing the dismal poll numbers; instead, he seems to be making up his own favorable findings. “JUST RELEASED: 99.9% at the Border,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday morning. (It’s unclear what, exactly, he was referring to, as is the source of that statistic.) “There has NEVER been such a difference before. Congratulations America!”
You lazy ET troll slugs, start working. Things are going to get worst for you in ways you never imagined. Spread lies and disinformation goes only so far. You fools will be paying your student loans soon (Thank you, President Trump). You better believe it. Look at China and how your fellow communists have destroyed China, without firing a single shot. 500 million Chinese now are lying flat. Meaning they will not lift their little fingers to help their communist government. Since, hundreds of millions have lost jobs, no income, no nothing---they no longer care. So, they will watch TV all day, do nothing productive. They are being starved by their government and now, they have Covid again and Chinese dying in huge numbers and they are quiet about it. Covid started in Wuhan, remember? This tariff war with the US is destroying China economically, day by day. It only gets worst but, the communists will not give in? Let us wait and see.
