I am sure that most have heard this mantra over the years….mostly coming from the Left….sorry but it has been true for about 50 years probably longer….a recent poll (not a big fan usually is just a minute look at the issue) tells a story that has long been preached….
Most US adults believe President Donald Trump has placed his personal financial interests and those of his inner circle ahead of the country’s since returning to the White House in 2025, according to a new nationwide poll.
The poll, conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and released on Tuesday, suggests that public perception of the Republican president leans heavily critical: Over half of surveyed adults view Trump’s second term as self-serving by investing in his own business and commercial pursuits “a lot”. Roughly one quarter believe he focuses on national interests, but only 11 percent feel Trump represents regular Americans. Fifty-five percent of Republicans surveyed said that Trump has prioritised his personal business interests “a lot” or “some”.
Half of the respondents report that Trump has placed zero priority on people “like them”.
As Trump’s family business pulls in record funds from new ventures helped by his policies, the poll results suggest that most US adults think growing his own finances has been the north star of Trump’s presidency, at least to some extent.
Trump’s June financial disclosure revealed massive post-election influxes of foreign and corporate capital into his business empire, stemming primarily from over $1bn in cryptocurrency ventures after he loosened regulation on the industry, as well as from international real estate.
During his first year as president, the Trump Organisation – Trump’s multinational family-owned enterprise dedicated to property development and global brand licensing – made eight real estate deals with authoritarian or one-party foreign states. Some speculate these countries were highly motivated to maintain favourable relations with the US to keep Trump happy on fronts like trade tariffs, military protection and private business dealings.
First, I find it interesting that this poll numbers has not been widely reported especially with an election on the horizon.
Second I find it dubious since the voting record of Americans illustrates that few give a crap as long as his hateful message is paramount.
Third, How will this play out in the coming election? Or will it be the lead issue before the vote?
So many questions and so few answers….the answer depends on which corporate propagandist one will pay attention to before they vote.
It will be interesting to see what the priority the voter will use before they cast the vote.
What do you guys think?

“lego ergo scribo”
Some voters drink the kool aid because they are mindless and love it, other voters drink it because that is all there is at the moment, but generally speaking, at least 77 million of us are potential low class sewer crawlers who cannot find our asses in a mirror and who have let this happen to us because there is nothing in their heads but air and their brain fragments are located in their anal canals.
That is a wonderful analogy but that does not say what you think of Donny and his crime family are doing to the country and the presidency. chuq
I did some research on polls in the UK. I suspect they are similar in the US. Most take a total of 1,000-1,500 people. They ask their age, gender, voting intentions, political affiliation, (if any) and the region of the country they live in. In Britain, around 90% of these polls are done these days by direct email contact, very few on the telephone. So whatever the result, they are only reflect a tiny percentage of the whole population. Even if 10 polling companies contacted 1,500 different people, that is stll only 15,000 people. So I tend to ignore all polls.
Best wishes, Pete.
