57% of Americans agree with trump 1st 3 weeks but to your point it was 70% but 13% got deported so some buyers remorse there! Just kidding its 57% not bad
Think the democrats are certainly regretting some failed strategy but no one is losing their minds. Maybe they shouldn't have forced some senators to resign like AL Franken over a picture while republicans vote in an actual felon who screams law and order and then pardons insurrectionists that the founding fathers would have executed day 1.
Why bring up Wuhan rentals? makes no sense to his point?
Again why cant people be people and not labeled. I had some great years in business GWB, Obama (sweet years) Trump 1st term but my best was last year under Biden. As a business owner neither of them had anything to do with it mainly but the economy has been thriving since 2012, you just have to ignore politics and place your money where the economy dictates

You're correct about Clinton. The article I referenced was written in 1998 which didn't include Clinton's 1998 surplus budget. Doesn't change my point that the US Government has delivered a balanced budget only twice in the past 50 years based on an article written in 2023. Once in 1969 under Johnson and again in 2001 under Clinton. My point remains, government spending and fiscal responsibility is out of control by both parties. Link attached.

Read the attached article. Based on the CNN poll I referenced, Trump has a 53% approval rating but 70% of Americans believe Trump is following through on his campaign ratings which is what I posted. This is a
CNN poll titled "CNN’s Harry Entin stunned by Trump’s high approval ratings: ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa!’" Link attached.

Not going to dignify your third point with a response. If that's your opinion lets just agree we have much different views in that respect.
Yeah it actually does. My response to Reason's post is it certainly sounds like he favors China's governance more than this current administration after three weeks in office which is certainly his prerogative. I completely disagree. If someone favors or approves of China's governance over this administration, they might consider a relocation. My reference to Wuhan is things aren't always what they appear and I think we all know what happened with COVID, where it originated and how millions of lives world wide were lost to a complete cover up by China and our own government. Fauci testified under oath during his congressional hearing there was no funding of the Wuhan gain of function research, changed it to I believe $600k only to find out taxpayer dollars were being funneled through the NIH and USAID to the tune of multiple millions of dollars funding that research.

And if you want to talk about pardons, Biden pardons Fauci, Hunter, his entire family and everyone involved with the Jan 6 committee. Do you actually pardon people who did nothing wrong? Don't think so, sort of makes one wonder don't you think?
Agree with your last point. There's only so much government can control or impact involving the economy. The world is too interconnected. But the president and Congress can control spending which has been out of control for most of our lives. At least the current administration is trying to correct that and for once do what's right for the American people as opposed to playing politics and doing what's right for their own net worth.
