i predict that he already hit his low point. if you want me to explain WHY i think that, i will. lay it out for us. ok. well, first of all, the first two years is generally bad for presidents. you would be hard pressed to find one that didn't struggle during that time. it is the difference between talk and walk, but it is also the inevitable high of the campaign giving way to reality. so that explains most of the decline. but the second part is that as midterm campaigns kick in, the negative press will be forced to contend with the actual achievements of the administration, which were significant. and that "balance" will bring SOME people who expressed negative polling positions earlier back to the fore. the third thing is that there are significant signs that inflation is easing. everyone is all bummed out about it right now, and that makes sense, but if it eases, then Biden will get credit for that (even though he doesn't really have much to do with it). fourth, the J6 commission has actually been a coup for Democrats. it puts them in the best possible light, and the Republicans in the worst possible light. in other words, it is good "branding" for them- and won't seem as much like a waste of time as many Democrats feared and most Republicans hoped. finally, there are "other factors" like abortion rights that could be significant for Democrats at midterm. even though it is not polling as a central issue, it never polled that way for Republicans EITHER, and yet they voted for Trump over this issue. in other words, i think it is something that Americans don't talk about or consider super important in terms of exigent problems, but everyone THINKS about it, not so much for themselves, but for others in their lives.

Why trump will never be treated as an equal by past living presidents as well as any future presidents. And I checked trump's Truth website and he did post the comments below.

He loves to do his lie spreading. I think Trump has more dementia than Joe, but his supporters do love pretending stuttering and how someone handles it is a sign of dementia. Sad that Trump wants to accuse a demographic that votes more for him than his opponent. Not lots of strength required for mail in ballots, but he likes creating false stories. I guess better for his ego than admitting blacks and others turned out in force to defeat him. Trump is strange. How does anyone move part time to a nursing home? His followers probably understand nursing homes as well as he does and forget that perhaps in the first time in history a President mobilized lawyers to fight against an election with no proof of election fraud and failed so extensively and so often. So much losing.

the labor market is absolutely on fire. word to the wise: business people don't hire unless they absolutely have to. they absolutely have to, because they don't have enough capacity to meet demand. to the 70% of Americans who think the economy is "bad", wake the fuck up. or stay asleep and miss out out boundless opportunities.

of course they would. the longer this jobs boom goes on, the weaker their argument that we are in a recession. the US has now added 8.3M jobs under Biden. that is the highest rate since WW2.
just for reference, the record for the first term since WW2 is currently held by Carter. over 12.5% jobs were added under that administration (coincidentally, the last time we had high inflation). second place goes to Clinton and Reagan with 10% each in their second terms. Biden is currently on the "Carter Curve", and might very well break that record.
this is how businesses express optimism. it is a pity the American public is not in tune with that. there are MANY opportunities out there for workers right now.

Okay, again, Biden is finished and democrats have told everyone this. They do not want him. Period. Post whatever you feel about Trump, but he will not be leading the party in 2024 election but you know Biden is finished and will not head the party ticket. Accept it and be at peace with it. Remember I nailed this a long time ago.

Coming up on the one year debacle of the Afghanistan retreat. It is also coming up on the one year anniversary of President Biden ending the pointless presence of American boots on the ground in the nation's longest war.

Yeah, not sure either.

Remember I nailed this a long time ago. And Biden nailed the guy you voted for in 2016 and 2020. Do you still 'Heil Hitler' every morning, VB? Trump Asked Aide Why His Generals Couldn’t Be Like Hitler’s, Book Says
WASHINGTON — Former President Donald J. Trump told his top White House aide that he wished he had generals like the ones who had reported to Adolf Hitler, saying they were “totally loyal” to the leader of the Nazi regime, according to a forthcoming book about the 45th president. “Why can’t you be like the German generals?” Mr. Trump told John Kelly, his chief of staff, preceding the question with an obscenity, according to an excerpt from “The Divider: Trump in the White House,” by Peter Baker and Susan Glasser, published online by The New Yorker on Monday morning. (Mr. Baker is the chief White House correspondent for The New York Times; Ms. Glasser is a staff writer for The New Yorker.) The excerpt depicts Mr. Trump as deeply frustrated by his top military officials, whom he saw as insufficiently loyal or obedient to him. In the conversation with Mr. Kelly, which took place years before the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the authors write, the chief of staff told Mr. Trump that Germany’s generals had “tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off.” Mr. Trump was dismissive, according to the excerpt, apparently unaware of the World War II history that Mr. Kelly, a retired four-star general, knew all too well. “‘No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him,’ the president replied,” according to the book’s authors. “In his version of history, the generals of the Third Reich had been completely subservient to Hitler; this was the model he wanted for his military. Kelly told Trump that there were no such American generals, but the president was determined to test the proposition.” Much of the excerpt focuses on Gen. Mark A. Milley, who served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the country’s top military official, under Mr. Trump. When the president offered him the job, General Milley told him, “I’ll do whatever you ask me to do.” But he quickly soured on the president. General Milley’s frustration with the president peaked on June 1, 2020, when Black Lives Matter protesters filled Lafayette Square, near the White House. Mr. Trump demanded to send in the military to clear the protesters, but General Milley and other top aides refused. In response, Mr. Trump shouted, “You are all losers!” according to the excerpt. “Turning to Milley, Trump said, ‘Can’t you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?’” the authors write. After the square was cleared by the National Guard and police, General Milley briefly joined the president and other aides in walking through the empty park so Mr. Trump could be photographed in front of a church on the other side. The authors said General Milley later considered his decision to join the president to be a “misjudgment that would haunt him forever, a ‘road-to-Damascus moment,’ as he would later put it.” A week after that incident, General Milley wrote — but never delivered — a scathing resignation letter, accusing the president he served of politicizing the military, “ruining the international order,” failing to value diversity, and embracing the tyranny, dictatorship and extremism that members of the military had sworn to fight against. “It is my belief that you were doing great and irreparable harm to my country,” the general wrote in the letter, which has not been revealed before and was published in its entirety by The New Yorker. General Milley wrote that Mr. Trump did not honor those who had fought against fascism and the Nazis during World War II.

He just needed these 4 years to clean up Trump's unholy mess and to somehow get the country back on track.
