Biden wasn't a traitor. He also didn't bankrupt a casino
Biden had all kinds of programs that looked out for US citizens and built up our healthcare and education.
biden also had all kinds of programs that specifically helped rural people who voted for trump. the chips act brought battery factories (now cancelled thanks to tariffs) AND his infrastructure bill that is bringing high speed internet to rural country right now.

To run a successful casino, you need to make your customers feel like they’re winning and you’re losing. Trump is incapable of that.

Nah but Biden also didn't make sure to choose an AG to actually put the motherfuckers in the Epstein files behind bars, either. It's not like the Epstein information magically appeared when Trump became President, he literally ran in 2024 on the fact that Democrats hadn't released the files. This information was available when Biden was President. Epstein was (very likely) murdered while Trump was President the first time.
So, fuck Biden anyway, he was focusing on all this "decorum" shit when it comes to a fucking network of pedophiles and rampant corruption and oops didn't want to make it "lOoK PoLiTiCaL" to go after criminality. Now the same people they didn't want to look political prosecuting don't give one single fuck about looking political in prosecuting their perceived enemies.
Fuck, Biden was literally handed a free pass when the Supreme Court ruled that when a President does it, it's not a illegal. He could have done any number of things to prevent this with the backing of a Supreme Court decision that was tailored to support Trump but technically applied to any President.
Democrats may not be in the files, but they sat on their fucking asses writing strongly worded letters and throwing up their hands going "but it's too hard to make sure they go down! Gears of justice turn slowly, so slowly that Trump can be voted back into office even with all this hanging over him!"
It's a crock of shit, Democrats are culpable for not taking this fight to the mat and instead being wishy washy limp dicks who handed over the reigns of the government to corruption twice in a row.
Yeeeepppp the controlled opposition party made sure to protect their billionaires
controlled ~~opposition~~ party made sure to protect their billionaires
The actions of the Democratic party don't even warrant the term. Look at Schumers and Jefferies response to the literal kidnapping of a sovereign head of state. They were basically mad Trump didn't do the right paper work, but fully supported the action.

Under no other president did I fear for the lives of so many Americans.
At work, we used to talk about dumb shit. Who brought M&Ms or cupcakes. How some random movie ended.
Now, some of my coworkers are terrified. We had a incident where some masked goons rushed up on a random woman and when we all came out, they ran away.
Our manager openly said, "None of them are allowed in the building." And during the worse of it, my manager brought a shotgun.
Average office workers are arming themselves.
This is what this orange motherfucker did.
I'm amazed more people aren't standing their ground (opening fire) when masked goons jump out of an unmarked car and try to kidnap someone. So much for all that second amendment peacocking eh
Because they're not out in force in places where a high percentage of people carry.
When they raided Chicago ICE specifically stayed away from the really bad parts because they didn’t wanna get shot.

This is the correct answer. They're hitting blue cities where it's mainly left leaning people who are anti-gun. Why hit a 2a strong hold if you're probably going to meet force. They'll kill for the paycheck, but they don't want to die for it.

People just don't want to be involved, and I'm not going to judge them for that.
As in, I have a wife and 2 young kids. My purpose in life is to care for and support them. If I'm at work or whatever and some goons show up to abduct someone I don't know, I'm not going to start blasting and go down in a blaze of glory because of an ideological position.
If you or your wife/kids were being abducted and sent to the camps, would you be happy knowing everyone else stood by not wanting to get involved?
I get being scared, but inaction is destroying countless families. If everyone stands together, the risk factor goes down.

67% WANT LOCAL OFFICIALS TO COOPERATE WITH FEDERAL AUTHORITIES TO DEPORT CRIMINAL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
2/3rds of this country are absolutely just fucking assholes.
DEPORT CRIMINAL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
If they could stick with that, then it'd be a good*-sounding* idea -- who doesn't want to deport criminals who immigrated from somewhere else to be violent?
Sadly they're as incompetent as they are violent, and they can't even deliver on that since they don't even know the how of due process; or the why. It's a "best I can do is gestapo" kind of situation. And for that, they need a Nuremberg. And lots of rope.

The word "criminal" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. I would expect local law enforcement to arrest criminals. I would then expect them to be deported. It doesn't mean people want local police to help ICE with their terrorist bullshit.
I think the framing of "criminal illegal immigrants" fucks with that data.
In every poll I've seen asking about how Trump's immigrant genocide is going, the numbers are far lower. Still far too high, but far lower.

worse than Biden
The guy is a fucking pedophile yet "worse than Biden" is needed to convince people
Talking about having priorities
"Biden is old."
"Hey, let's go with a guy that's equally old, but also a lifelong asshole, felon, rapist, and pedophile with 2 impeachments and a failed presidency already under his belt."
"Sounds great to me."
I’m betting it’s not just pedophilia.
I’m waiting for the documents that show he’s sent hits on victims and threatened their family.
And still no section 25.
Still no impeachment.
And still the MAGA mind churns.

51% says Trump is doing a worse job than Biden? WTF is wrong with the other 49%!?
Biden wasn't great, but surely anything that's not bringing the US to the brink of dictatorship and civil war is better than anything that is?
WTF is wrong with the other 49%!?
Poor media-literacy and social media.
Biden is still the best president we've had since Obama
Well... you're not wrong, but also its a super low bar lol
I've got plenty of criticism of Obama too, but he's easily the best US president of the 21st century, and it's not even close. And although nowhere near as good, Biden is still easily #2, because at least he didn't start two trillion dollar wars for nothing. And although he's pretty bad, Bush is still easily #3, because for all his many, many faults, at least he didn't usher in a full-blown fascist dictatorship driven by narcissism and stupidity.
There's no easier century to rank presidents.

But in the new poll, 51 percent said Trump is doing a worse job than President Biden did
This is staggering: 49 percent think Trump is at least doing as well as Biden. The mind boggles...
Not sure how anyone can be alive and experiencing the same reality as the rest of us and come to that conclusion. Let alone basically half the people asked. We are truly fucked.
They're not experiencing the same reality
HyperNormalisation is a 2016 BBC documentary by British filmmaker Adam Curtis. It argues that following the global economic crises of the 1970s, governments, financiers and technological utopians gave up on trying to shape the complex "real world" and instead established a simpler "fake world" for the benefit of multi-national corporations that is kept stable by neoliberal governments. The film was released on 16 October 2016 on BBC iPlayer.[2]
The word hypernormalisation was coined by Alexei Yurchak, a professor of anthropology who was born in Leningrad and later went to teach at the University of California, Berkeley. He introduced the word in his book Everything Was Forever, Until It Was No More: The Last Soviet Generation (2006), which describes paradoxes of Soviet life during the 1970s and 1980s.[3][4] He says everyone in the Soviet Union knew the system was failing, but no one could imagine any alternative to the status quo, and politicians and citizens alike were resigned to maintaining the pretense of a functioning society.[5] Over time, the mass delusion became a self-fulfilling prophecy, with everyone accepting it as the new norm rather than pretend, an effect Yurchak termed hypernormalisation.[6] It has since gained further resonance in the social media era in 2025 in the U.S.[7]

LOL, what kind of metric is that? Biden may be kinda milquetoast in pursuing criminals like Donvict, but things were actually really quite good under his presidency.
A better metric is to say that Donvict is the worst president in history - he's such a dirtbag and a greedy little shit that he may very well destroy this country. He's that bad.

The only actual thing I'm mad at Biden for is not putting this monster in prison when able.
Merrick Garland sure is fucking quiet now.
FUCK JOE BIDEN!!!
This motherfucker had ALL OF THESE EPSTEIN FILES and did NOTHING with them. NOTHING!!!!!
He did absolutely nothing to punish the wealthy/powerful behind January 6th, he did nothing with the pedophile ring and just peaced out and gave the keys to fucking Nazis.
He will forever be remembered as a complete failure. His legacy is Trump and letting our democracy get destroyed without any pushback.

Boomers have overstayed their welcome. The spoiled generation took the greatest wealth ever seen, became spoiled by it, sqandered it, and left X, Millennials, Zoomers, and Alpha holding the bag (climate change, broken empire, insurmountable debt, political instability, unstable social safety net, etc.). They will not be missed.

Worse than Biden? He's fucking worse than GWB!!!
Don't forget that GWB is one of the people responsible for the post-911 over-reaction that allowed all of this to happen. Both ICE and DHS were created under Bush. Extra-judicial torture was justified under Bush.
None of this would be possible without him.

Trump is up there as worst president of all time. Only president who was worse was Andrew Jackson. If this ICE stuff gets any worse he my become the king of worst presidents.
Andrew Johnson was by far the worst of all time for sabotaging Reconstruction. Basically every problem we have now including Trump/fascism is a direct result of Johnson's actions.

49% think Trump this term is doing a better job as President than Biden did his last term, I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
He's still polling pretty well for a notorious child rapist and trafficker, and potentially worse.
Could have swore that was going to say "worse than Hitler".
Imagine USA gets a system where people vote for what they want, not merely against who they don't want.

18 point swing sounds great, but the 'post-swing' percentage is 51% thinking he's doing a worse job than Biden, which isn't actually all that encouraging, imo.
Also, apparently the prior poll that's the other side of the 'swing' is one that was taken just after he was inaugurated...isn't that kind of a stupid time for a poll asking 'do you think the President is doing a better or worse job than the last President', just as he begins his term?
He should sue all the Americans for damages.
