It has been a month of Little Donny and his magic Sharpie signing EO after EO after EO after….and so far not much in the way of making life better for us peasants….and that is having a effect….

President Trump’s approval rating has slipped since his first week in office, down 2 percentage points to 45%, a Gallup poll released Wednesday found. At this point, 51% of respondents disapprove of his job performance. Trump’s approval rating is running 15 points below the mid-February average of all other elected presidents since 1953, the New York Times reports, though it’s 5 points above where he was in February 2017. Two other polls released this week showed Trump ally Elon Musk is less popular, per Politico.

Pew Research Center found Musk’s approval rating at 42%, with 54% of respondents saying they have an unfavorable opinion of Trump’s head of the Department of Government Efficiency. Quinnipiac University posed a different question, asking if respondents think Musk’s role in the government is too big. A majority, 55%, said it is, while 36% said Musk has about the right amount of power. Just 3% want him to have more. Trump’s approval rating by issue doesn’t vary much, with 42% liking his handling of the economy, for instance, though he was at 48% in February 2017. His approval rating on immigration is 46% and on foreign affairs, 44%.

But not to worry Donny has a plan, the same plan in his first term….

Could Americans see some cash from all these DOGE cost-saving measures? President Trump says he’s considering the idea, the Wall Street Journal reports. “We’re thinking about giving 20% back to the American citizens and 20% down to pay back debt,” he said at a Saudi Arabia-sponsored gathering of business and tech executives in Miami. “If it were a real-estate balance sheet, the debt is tiny, but we still, we still want to pay it down.” He gave no further details. Elon Musk earlier this week responded to a post on X suggesting the same idea, saying, “Will check with the president.”

The co-founder of the investment firm who suggested the idea on X estimated that if DOGE hits its targeted savings of $2 trillion, 20% of that is $400 billion, meaning each US household could get about $5,000, CNBC reports. It’s not clear how close DOGE is to hitting that savings target at this point, but Musk has admitted in the past that number is a best-case scenario. DOGE has claimed cuts of $55 billion so far, but outside reports indicate that’s likely an overestimate, with one report pointing out the department has so far only accounted for $16.6 billion of those cuts. The federal budget for the most recent fiscal year was $6.75 trillion.

Since many of his ardent support pretend to worry about the debt he might throw some money at it and quieten the mob and then sending out checks will make the more pathetic and slow in society embrace him.

In other words Americans are for sale…..in more ways than one.
