Donald Trump just helped elect a Canadian prime minister who ran on an anti-Trump platform. Mark Carney in March told the American autocrat who thinks he runs the world where he could stick his tariffs and his 51st state threats. (Trump backed the other guy.) Trump’s week is not going well. He’s making wild claims about 200 trade deals for which there is no evidence. The rest of his first 100 days have been chaos, controversy and destruction with large doses of cruelty for cruelty’s sake.

Daily Beast:

“Protests, polling, and pushback”: These are the three things The New Abnormal pcodast host Jesse Cannon believes show the “Trump dam is breaking.”

Cannon believes small wins like the lowest 100-day approval rating in 70 years are “super important” because they chip away at the “Achilles’ heel” of the president.

“The pushback and protests against all of this do have some wins,” he said.

Death by a 1,000 cuts can work both ways, Cannon suggests.

The podcast co-host Danielle Moodie pointed out polling for President Joe Biden “was in the mid-50s” for the same timeframe and George W. Bush “was in the low-50s.” Trump is at 41%.

She claimed Trump is “circling the drain” with his poll numbers.

NPR (also under attack by Trump) reports on more bad polling:

Twice as many people said President Trump deserves a grade of F rather than an A for how he’s handled his first 100 days in office, according to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll.

Forty-five percent said Trump deserves the failing mark, compared to 23% who would pass him with flying colors. It’s understandable that partisans would have strongly polarized views of the president, but it’s also notable that half of independents said he deserves an F, and only a slim majority of Republicans would give him an A.
