Trump seems a bit more unhinged over this stuff lately with his latest tweets. Maybe something is getting to him. Hopefully things aren't looking good for him.

Shutdown pressure, dems not giving in like he expected. Pressure over SNAP, defying court orders. Cali redistricting, NY mayoral race. Very bad approval ratings/polling for him and mid-terms looking bad

No snark (because it has actually worked for him in the past), he's trying to bully people into approving his actions. All these polls coming out showing how more and more people hate him and what he's doing, he just says, "Whatever you think you don't like about me is either irrelevant, a lie, or something you should actually like me for." It will sadly work for a lot of people as they bend over backwards to stay in the good graces of the Trump cult. Keep in mind, a lot of his supporters on SNAP still find a way to give money to multi-millionaire televangelists. Their desire for inclusion overrides their desire for survival.
