Donald Trump’s Approval Rating ‘Worst This Century’: CNN’s Harry Enten

Sounds like the mid-terms could send a message towards his follies

I hope so.  But Dems only have a 3 to 4 point favorability rating over the GOP.  Once again, the left and the socialists in the Dem. Party are screwing things up.

What makes you think he gives a damn?

He couldn't care less about most Republicans in Congress. As far as he's concerned, he's only the president of his MAGAs, and even there only in having enough of them to force his desires through. Everyone else in America can go to Hell.

And for all of his talk about running or making himself president again for a blatantly unconstitutional third term, it's highly unlikely that he will, or that even his MAGA Party would allow him to. He just wants to use the next two and a half years selling the presidency for as many billions of dollars as he can get his greedy little hands on. Along with masturbating his ego by renaming everything in sight after himself, and in using the DOJ and other offices as weapons to punish all of his "Enemies".

There are no "Socialists" in the Democratic Party that I can think of; at least not in any positions of power. America's Socialists have their own party, as do Communists, Fascists, Nazis, and others.

If you mean "Democratic Socialists", like Sen Bernie Sanders (who is an Independent, though he caucuses with the Democrats), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), or New York Mayor Mamdani, that's a very different thing. For the most part, they just want to restore the popular, very successful economic policies of Presidents FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, and LBJ, plus Universal Medicare and environmental protection, including the climate.

In effect, the policies enjoyed by nearly every country in Europe and other democracies around the world.

None of them support government ownership of other industries ("Socialism"). They all believe in the Free Enterprise system, as long as its kept competitive with strong antitrust laws, and made to obey environmental, worker and consumer protection regulations.

Outside of a few social issues, all of their other policies are very popular with voters. They're by no means the reason for the Democratic Party's unpopularity.
