That's just buyers remorse. He told us how he intended to govern. His opponent told us how he intended to govern. The voters were not mislead.
(and his approval would be the same mid 40s it always was if gas prices were reasonable)
He’s never achieved a majority vote in any election, FWIW. His claim of a mandate was just as brazen as all the other litany of lies - he’s a lame duck lame duck. The true shame is on the congressional republicans for letting him sully them so deeply and follow him in his self immolation of the entire government and America in the world. The rebuilding will be a major test of the successor, and it’ll be fascinating to see if the Goldwater republicans can become the party of reason again rather than this reality TV idiocracy.

This is the problem when your entire identity and principles boil down to "doing what the social superior tells you to".
His party knows the system and focuses on getting elected instead of focusing on getting the popular vote, because the popular vote doesn't elect you...

Trump won the popular vote in 2024 [1].

I assume they mean literally. He won a plurality, not a majority.
This is not idiocracy. It's the prequel. In idiocracy, they understood that they were dumb and put the smart guy in charge.
for 20 minutes, and then they tried to kill him
Americans aren't angry because Trump was wrong, they're angry because it's not working.
After denying project 2025 and then carrying it out almost exactly? They were misled.b
What?
During the election Trump denied knowing anything about Project 2025 and he has enacted a lot of it. I dont know why voters trusted him on that but here we are.
