(Source: Peoplesworld.org)             We were going to write at length about how Donald Trump’s approval rating has plummeted in national polls, and how that can be inferred as disastrous for Republicans such as Juan Ciscomani, who are on the ballot this November. Trump’s numbers are awful, as shown by this chart from poll interpreter Nate

The Bully in Chief

The Bully in Chief

April 9, 2026

Donald Trump is a bully. This much is clear[1]. When he thinks groups or individuals are vulnerable, he talks tough. When they resist, he either backs down or responds so ineffectively that he often loses. The results with law firms he’s attacked, for instance, show this. As Robert Reich has noted, “The law firms Perkins Coie, Jenner

Everything Donald Trump touches turns to crap. Today, after days of mentally unhinged social media posts and White House Press Room tirades saying that he would bomb Iran back into the Stone Age, destroy Persian Civilization, and God was on his side, Donald Trump agreed to a two week ceasefire with Iran to pursue an

Trump Always Chickens Out (TACO), and he accepted a two-week ceasefire with Iran. This delays Trump’s “plan” to attack civilians, bridges, desalination plants and energy targets, which would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz. That will require the deaths of many American soldiers, sailors and Guardsmen. Calls for President Trump’s removal from office reached a
