A new poll by Harvard CAPS-Harris reveals the majority of the country backs President Donald J. Trump and his actions to bring much-needed reforms that are making America great again.
I don't think that many of the opinions on these issues have changed in a few weeks.

You have no clue as to whether it will get worse, Rarely Right Walter.
It would be a great deal easier if the far left Democratic Socialist loons did not oppose every issue that President Trump was elected to address.
LMAO!!! Another dummy who just doesn't GET IT. Don't you understand YET? The days of business as usual are OVER,....way over. We will do as we want and there wont be a single thing you or anyone else can do about it but cry and whine on obscure message boards. Yeah,....good luck with that.
Case in point.........the left has two choices now..........help US pass our new bill,......or shut down the government. Either way........WE WIN. 
We will have to wait and see. To me, it does not look good. To you, it looks great. Soon we will know for sure who was right.
Business as usual made us a superpower, with a high standard of living, so unless "Big Balls" has a really good idea of how to replace it... Isn't it scary that we have to count on the grandson of a KGB agent, who has been fired from three unpaid internships for failing, and calls himself "Big Ball" in a professional setting?
Where it all falls apart is that the universe will react the way it will. If you do stupid things, the universe will hurt you... And more importantly the rest of us.
You can do what you want, but you cannot force the universe to give you the outcome you want.
You STILL do not fully understand what you are up against. The left started this fire years ago,....they never thought it would grow out of control. It did. Furthermore it is growing. Sometimes arsonists are the ones who themselves get trapped in the building they are trying to set fire too. This is indeed the case. We WILL put out the fire no doubt ,....but not until those who started it are reduced to a burned out rack of charred bones. You did this to YOURSELVES.

That polling was from February 19-20, before his tariff stupidity started.
The polling on those dozens of issues have not changed much in a few weeks.
Imagine what President Trump could accomplish if the far left loons were not opposing every issue that President Trump was elected to address.
I am figuring it out. I actually think I am ahead of most people. Most investors thought that trump had made his threat, and was going to stop threatening the economy. I realized he had only put a 30 day delay in, and invested accordingly. I made a lot of money off that investment.
You cannot blame trump on "the left." trump tried to become a Democratic elected official for decades, and was laughed at. he could not even get a nomination. It was the Republicans who nominated and elected him.
What trump does is on you, not me.
In this case, you are clearly the arsonist. You are the one screaming burn it down. Why is that?
That is a serious question. You claim you have lived a good life, with your family taking care of everything. And yet you want revenge? This is the reason I am trying to teach my children to do things for themselves.
I don't think you will. trump has started fires, and then put 30 day delays... But that is not stopping them.
No,....Im not the one screaming to burn it all down, your fellow lefties are. In fact it is literally right underneath your buddy Naked Hunters avatar!
I only want the arsonists burnt to a nice crackling crisp, and they are,....more every day in fact.

Sure, on a lot of things people agree with Trump. The tariffs and impact on the economy, if he continues this stupidity, is not going to be one of them.
Yes, you are. You are the one saying we have to burn down the government, and replace it with... You are not quite there with a replacement.
Are you illiterate? Right underneath his avatar is the words "Let It Burn!" He is not going to save you from the disaster you are making.In fact it is literally right underneath your buddy Naked Hunters avatar!
I do not blame him. We have spent too long trying to save the alt right from consequences.

Bullshit. Trump and the DOGE Bros may not be screaming it but they are most certainly burning down the Federal government. WTF do you think they are doing to the Department of Education? The FBI? The CIA? The VA? Firing thousands of Federal workers? That's not "cutting the fat", that's torching the Federal government.No,....Im not the one screaming to burn it all down, your fellow lefties are. In fact it is literally right underneath your buddy Naked Hunters avatar!
One thing I have learned from real management is that employees that kiss my butt are usually the worst. The best employees do not have to beg me to keep their jobs. Sometimes the best employees can be hurtful jerks, but if you want a successful team, you have to figure out a way to get them to work well.
Musk is looking for ass kissers, and wants to fire the rest.
Tough shit,...elections have consequences ......REMEMBER? Trump won,...every single swing state in fact,....this is what we voted for. If you don't like it you shouldn't have ran a full blown moron to follow a geriatric vegetable. CHANGE is coming to America and not a moment to soon. You cant stop it,...none of you can now,......I tried to tell you all many times before the election,.......this is THE END of business as usual and its never coming back. Jump on board or be plowed under by it,....I don't care which.
