  1. Welp, too late.

    He was already out of control in his first term, I figured a second one would be an absolute train wreck and it is. But people voted him back in, so at this point there’s not much anyone can do.

    >Even Donald Trump’s most diehard supporters are souring on the idea of four more years of him in the White House.

    >An Economist/YouGov poll found that among voters who backed Trump in 2024, 45 percent oppose the president running for a third term in 2028. Only 43 percent supported the idea, and 11 percent were unsure.

    >A third Trump term was once a favorite “joke” of the administration.

    >Though a third Trump term is illegal under the 22nd Amendment, which limits presidents to two terms, the idea has gained steam thanks to sycophantic Republican reps, official “Trump 2028″ merchandise, and former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon saying there is a “plan in place” to get Trump a third term.

    >Trump himself has seemed less enthusiastic about the idea. In October, Trump said it was “too bad” he couldn’t run again, admitting that the Constitution is “pretty clear” he can’t.

    >On Tuesday, he acknowledged “it’s not gonna be me” in 2028 while suggesting members of his Cabinet could be the next Republican nominee.

    >Though the Economist/YouGov poll was asking a hypothetical, the result suggests even MAGA voters are ready to move on from Trump—underscoring his loosening grip on the Republican Party.

    >“MAGA is not immune to the law of political gravity,” said Boston University politics professor Thomas Whalen to Newsweek.

    >“It is a spent force at this point, bereft of ideas and urgency. I suspect Trump may want to run again, but he runs into a major roadblock known as the U.S. Constitution. There can be no third terms. Also, eight years of Donald Trump is enough drama for even the most devout MAGA supporter,” he said.

    >The president’s contentious second term, rife with scandal and unpopular policies, has led him to hit record-low approval ratings. Every pollster currently has Trump with a negative approval rating. The Economist/YouGov poll found that 58 percent of Americans disapproved of Trump, while 39 percent approved.

    >High prices have also fueled MAGA’s break with Trump. Americans are blaming Trump for the country’s cost-of-living crisis, with 37 percent of Trump voters saying things have never been worse than they are right now. Democrats are taking advantage, using an “affordability” message to make massive gains in special elections.

    >This sets the stage for a 2026 midterm election cycle where Trump will undeniably be a liability for Republican candidates, barring a dramatic shift by November.

  3. The fact that so many of them still support the idea of him running in 2028 just goes to show how anti constitution they really are. Sad part is, even those who said no would 100% still vote for him if he managed to weasel his way onto the ballot. MAGA will never really turn on him. May say some critical things here and there, but that’s about it.

    Only one thing matters to MAGA voters: P0wn the libs. They will vote for him again if it comes to it. The majority probably wish that they had someone younger and even nastier, but with the same charisma.

  5. But Trump says those polls are fake, and he’s leading every poll. He always leads every poll. So that’s what maga has to believe. They’re also all doing better than under Biden, whether they are or not. They are. Like you wouldn’t believe, like never before.

  6. Why is the source in the URL chatgpt?

    Also, the question in the poll asks about a third term, which would be unconstitutional. That’s a leap from saying that MAGA don’t want him to finish this term.

    I wish the premise was true. It would be nice if MAGA joined the rest of us here in reality, but I don’t buy it.

  7. They might want to dump trump yet will vote for the next Fox News candidate. Same orgs with a different campaign sticker slapped on. The main, central, problem is ownership of mass media and unlimited money in politics. The oligarchs will always have their candidate win.

    What kind of fantasy world are these dummies living in? Right wingers love everything happening right now.

    Nah. They’ll only dump him when he’s dead then they’ll all latch on to the next racist, homophobic pedophile. Nothing will change.

    This is yet another lesson as to why the southern states should have been absolutely crushed into submission after they lost the civil war.

    I’m not sure who said it but it’s something like “compassion will be our downfall and it will lead to the destruction of the human race”.

    Facists are handled with kid gloves while “hippies” are treated with marshal law and violence.

    Make it make sense.

    if your ride-or-die starts looking at the passenger seat and thinking “nah”, maybe the driver’s been swervin too long.

    He finally caused them some hurt.. in their wallet. The one place they don’t forgive. The fascism is absolutely fine though

  12. Until they check their foreign-based social media feed and change their little minds again.

    They’ve built their entire personality around worshiping this sack of shit. I don’t see it.
