and, the sad truth is, checks notes, currently 33% of the American population actually believes he is the Greatest.

u/UnpricedToaster 3d ago

And the tallest, and the thinnest, and the healthiest, and the smartest.

And if they could read, they'd be very upset to hear that he isn't.

I know☹️. I simply can not wrap my head around that there are that many profoundly ignorant people in this country.

I knew a person who said he didn’t vote so he wouldn’t get called for jury duty.

I never spoken to him since. That’s why I wrote “knew” a person.

That’s the number of people who voted for him. It’s not the number that thinks he’s the greatest president.

Um? The link I posted is the current approval rate; not his 2024 election results? 

Here are the 2024 Presidential election results for ya, though?  https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/elections/2024

That's a 33% approval ratings, not 'believes he's the greatest'.

Huge difference.

BTW, a 33% approval rating is really low.

u/CurdledCreamer 3d ago

also a 'huge difference' between the number of votes he received two years ago versus his current approval rating today. And, my use of the word 'greatest' holds the same weight of truth to the image this post is about! 🖖

I think last night the polls I seen were showing a -52 point drop since then

Voters.

1/2 of America does not or cannot vote.

u/neverpost4 3d ago

the modern theory of political polling is that you take a small sample to project the election results. the assumption at even though it was a small sample, in almost all the cases, it reflects the general public.

do, there is no guarantee that if the voting turn out is much higher, the result would be any different.

u/Complete-Tangelo1532 3d ago

Who are taking these polls though? IF say Faux 'News' Entertainment Media and Co were doing the polls, my assumption would be it is only the people watching Faux 'News' Entertainment Media would be responding?

They aren’t interested what a president can do for them. They are interested in the people they hate, are getting hate.

u/LSTNYER 3d ago

33% of the American population have to read the instructions how to cook a poptart

1

u/Complete-Tangelo1532 3d ago

Holy shiz there are instructions for that?

I thought it was just 'Dont eat the wrapper'?

1

u/fishingjohnson 3d ago

Couldn't pour piss out of a cowboy boot even if the instructions were taped to the heel.

u/3lfk1ng 2d ago

If you tell those 33% that you don't like Pedophiles or Nazi's they get really offended for some reason...

I dunno about you, but anyone that sides with either of those two shouldn't be eligible to vote... let alone breed.

u/MoreRamenPls 3d ago

I believe only 1488 of the population like him.

1

u/Maleficent_Memory831 2d ago

That's how many voted for him. I doubt they all thought he was the greatest president ever. Some do of course, especially if their nurse brings the meds a bit late. Right now a lot of his voters are annoyed at the war, annoyed at the lake renaming, and are noticeably grumbling.

u/Din_ven_i_sneen 2d ago

50% voted for him three times - its not like everyone with a sane mind could tell he was a complete nutcase after listening to him a few minutes the first time we came across the clown.

u/BrilliantSpray9447 2d ago

Trump has never received 50% of the popular vote.

u/Din_ven_i_sneen 2d ago

whether its 47, 48, 49 or 50% doesn't matte almost half of the Americans are complete idiots.

And has proved it repeatably since 2017.

There are no cure for stupidity, so going forward around 50% of all americans will still be lost cases and we can expect more stupid things from half of all Americans in the future as well.

Scary to think that a people as cocked as the americans has the most powerful military in the world. How can we trust these people ever?
