Nicolle Wallace
CNN’s “Deadline: White House” Anchor Nicole Wallace delivered devastating news to President Donald Trump regarding the upcoming mid-terms and the following national election.
“One year into Trump's second term as president of the United States and the people of the United States of America do not like what they see,” said Wallace, referring to numbers showing a stinging rebuke to Trump’s policies. “58 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy. 64 percent of all Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of the issue of the cost of living. And on the issue of immigration that we have been talking about, it is just as ugly for him: 40 percent.”
In fact, just 32 percent of Americans believe Trump has made the nation better since he returned to the presidency, which means his approval is unable to crawl out of the depths of his MAGA faithful.
But it isn’t the MAGA faithful that will re-elect Trump or members of his Republican Party in upcoming elections. It’s centrist voters said CNN analyst Cornell Belcher.
“If you look at how he has completely collapsed among independent voters and even some of his support, Republicans are getting softer. I mean, you know, it is it looks like a failed presidency. And I don't say that lightly,” said Belcher. “… you know, whether it be Bush, Clinton, Obama or Daddy Bush or. I've never seen numbers like this before.”
Wallace noted the information “bubble” the president and his handlers have erected around Trump, misleading him on the real feelings of Americans.
“It has him coming out and calling affordability a hoax, … doubling and tripling down on the immigration policies, which are wildly unpopular,” said Wallace. “… There is no support for enforcement that looks like militarized streets in American cities. It's just it doesn't exist. It never has. And he’s doubling and tripling down on things that are wildly unpopular, making him more politically impotent.”
Both agreed themass disapproval will bode very badly for Republicans and Trump in the next elections if nothing changes.
“It's politics 101,” Belcher said. “At some point, you should probably do things that the majority of Americans want you to do as opposed to invading Greenland.”
