Donald Trump Public Opinion Rating In Wartime Collapsing

Ronald 45 Comments

Donald Trump’s Iran War is causing a collapse in his popularity, which already was under water.

His lack of strategy, and his reckless incitement for war, when Iran was not a direct threat anytime soon on America, is an indication of how dangerous a wartime leader he is.

Trump is attacking NATO nations for refusal to engage in a war that was not essential, and the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz is causing a massive oil and gasoline crisis, with motorists now paying one dollar more per gallon, compared to three weeks ago, when the war began.

The overall cost of living is skyrocketing, and that is bad news for Republicans in the upcoming Midterm Elections of 2026, the reason why Donald Trump is trying to interfere with the right to vote, and trying to destroy the Voting Rights Act of 1965, to fix the elections for Republicans.

Traditionally, the midterm elections always see a decline in the number of seats controlled by the President’s party, and a real landslide for Democrats looks likely, assuming Trump cannot succeed in his mission to limit the right to vote, through the proposed SAVE America Act.

The history of Presidents seeing popularity drop during wartime is stark:

Harry Truman had reached a high of 69 percent in 1949, but during the Korean War in 1952, his rating dropped to 22 percent, minus 47 points.

Lyndon B. Johnson had reached a high of 78 percent in 1963, after he succeeded the assassinated John F. Kennedy, but during the Vietnam War, his rating in 1968 dropped to 35 percent, minus 43 points.

Jimmy Carter had reached a high of 58 percent in January 1980, but in the next five months of the Iranian hostage crisis, his rating dropped to 27 percent, minus 31 points.

George W. Bush had reached a high of 90 percent after September 11, 2001, but in the midst of the Iraqi Civil War intervention in 2007, his rating dropped to 29 percent, minus 61 points.

And Joe Biden had reached a high of 56 percent in June 2021, but after the Afghanistan withdrawal in August 2021, his rating dropped to 43 percent, minus 13 points.

Trump has reached a low of 36 percent at this time, and is likely to go lower.

Donald Trump: A Horrendous Role Model For Young Men And Women, And For America’s Reputation Internationally!

Ronald Leave a comment

Nearly nine years ago, this author and blogger created a title for an article about Donald Trump, after just five months in office, declaring him, that early in his first term, he was a horrendous role model for young men and women.

While this author and blogger has written a massive amount about Donald Trump since 2017, this specific title was not developed beyond the original title.

But now, after the events and comments of Donald Trump this past week, on top of a multitude of outrageous, despicable statements by Donald Trump over the long haul, it is clearly time to develop this article.

Just in the past week, Donald Trump has uttered the following:

Revealed the terrible health diagnosis of Florida Congressman Neal Dunn, who has a supposed terminal heart condition, with Trump stating that Dunn would be dead by June, shocking even Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, sitting next to him, by so making public what was not appropriate to utter. And all that Donald Trump cares about is that Neal Dunn will make every effort to be there and vote, at a time when the House of Representatives Republican majority is the least in 90 years!

Revealed publicly that his White House Chief of Staff Suzie Wiles has breast cancer, rather than letting her decide what if anything about her condition should be reported. But again, his comment is that Wiles will work full time while undergoing treatment, with it being clear that is more important to him than the idea that Wiles should take time off while undergoing chemotherapy.

Shamelessly, in front of the Japanese Prime Minister, joked about Pearl Harbor, leading to a shocked face, comparing it to his surprise attack on Iran, without any consultation with Congress, and ignoring the fact that post World War II Japan has been a loyal ally for 80 years. And Trump has done great damage to our relationship with our NATO and other allies, alienating them with his protective tariffs and ugly rhetoric and criticism.

Celebrated the death on Truth Social of former FBI Head Robert Mueller, a great public servant as FBI head and heroic military hero in Vietnam, who sacrificed to lead the investigation into Russian collusion in the Presidential Election of 2016.

What kind of human being acts this way, but this is common and typical of Donald Trump, who will stand for all time as the most despicable, immoral, unethical excuse for a human being of any President of the United States.

For the past five decades since the downfall of Richard Nixon, considered the most criminal and lawless President in American history, it was assumed no future President would be worse.

But as the saying goes, Donald Trump makes Richard Nixon look like a “Choir Boy” by comparison!

America is going through a nightmare scenario, and the goal is to work to survive the end of Donald Trump and “Trumpism” over the next three years, and restore American Democracy and the Rule of Law, after the tremendous harm and damage perpetrated by Trump and his corrupt sycophantic Cabinet, the worst in American history!

Donald Trump’s Destruction Of Trust With NATO Nations Undermining American And International Cooperation And Intelligence Gathering!

Ronald 39 Comments

Donald Trump has destroyed any trust that NATO nations have in American government leadership, after he made the outrageous accusation that NATO nations did not contribute anything worthy to their participation in the Afghanistan War after the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

The fact is that all of the nations in NATO sent troops, and lost many, in size of their populations, in that Afghanistan War, including Denmark, which has been pressured to give control of Greenland to the United States, an action that will never be approved by NATO or Denmark and Greenland.

The deleterious effect of unstable Donald Trump’s utterances have ended any possibility that there will be the same intimacy and collaboration of the so called “Five Eyes” nations (US, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand)–all English speaking nations–on intelligence gathering, which has existed for many decades.

It will also make other nations in NATO who have also collaborated and cooperated with the United States–including France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Denmark,The Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain–be hesitant to engage in the same relationship with the US that it has had.

The Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom (Keir Starmer) and Canada (John Carney), have issued outraged statements, and demands of apology for the horrible, uncaring statements Trump has issued. Trump has responded lamely on this matter, so the international world order established after World War II is in its death knell, as the nations listed above, plus others in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East will pause and reconsider how they best protect their own security and safety, with Donald Trump clearly seen as more of a danger than a reliable ally!

Donald Trump Demonstrates His Total Mental Deterioration At Davos, Switzerland!

Ronald 52 Comments

Donald Trump made a total fool of himself at the Davos, Switzerland World Economic Forum, and demonstrated his total mental deterioration.

It was a total embarrassment for all Americans at the behavior and rhetoric of Trump, totally alienating America’s European allies in NATO, by threats to seize Greenland militarily if necessary, and then totally backing away for now from such threats, and confusing Iceland with Greenland.

Trump’s total ignorance of these two territories was mind boggling, and makes extremely clear that Trump is so demented that he does not even realize when he makes a mistake, and that a normal person would correct himself.

Even more shocking is how no one from the American delegation, including Trump Cabinet members Marco Rubio, Howard Lutnick, and Scott Bessent, intervened to correct the outrageous, moronic mistake.

When one considers the constant drone of attack on Joe Biden, due to his occasional flubs when speaking, and his poor performance in that debate with Donald Trump in June 2024, leading to Biden’s withdrawal from the Presidential race in 2024, it is outrageous how a pass constantly is given to Donald Trump.

Clearly, Trump is not fit to serve as President, and his maniacal behavior and crazy utterances on Truth Social, should lead to Trump being removed as a danger to American democracy, the rule of law, and national security.

The 25th Amendment, Section 4, should be utilized, but there is zero chance that Vice President JD Vance and a majority of the Trump Cabinet would ever take that step to protect the nation and the world from the demented Donald Trump!

The “Peace” President Has Bombed Seven Nations In His First Year Of His Second Term!

Ronald 11 Comments

Donald Trump is obsessed with his desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize, so much so, that he, willingly, accepted the “gift” of the prize from Maria Corina Machado of Venezuela, who he is unwilling to support as the new President of that nation, despite her party’s victory.

This is outrageous and obscene to the extreme, weird and loony behavior on the part of Donald Trump, but he has no shame!

At the same time, he has managed to use military force and bombed SEVEN nations in his first year of his second term:

Venezuela
Iran
Iraq
Syria
Yemen
Nigeria
Somalia

And now, Trump is threatening military action to seize Greenland, thereby posing a danger to Denmark and all of NATO. And now, he is threatening new tariffs on our NATO allies, upping the ante of crisis in an alliance which has managed to protect the peace and promote unity for 75 years.

While one can certainly consider the 7 nations that were bombed as, in many cases, “problems”, who gives the United States the right to use military force to impose its will?

To the civilized world, including our NATO allies and friendly nations elsewhere around the globe, the United States under the leadership of Donald Trump has become the “lawless” nation, creating a crisis atmosphere, and a threat to world peace.

This can only encourage Putin and the Russian Federation, and Xi Jinping and China, and Kim Jong Un and North Korea in their own “spheres of influence”, to continue to take aggressive actions, making the world much more unsafe!

Donald Trump Spiraling Out Of Control In First Two Weeks Of 2026!

Ronald 75 Comments

Donald Trump is spiraling out of control in the first two weeks of 2026, leading to the thought that the nation cannot take much more of this lunatic behavior.

The invasion and removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro; the shooting and murder of Rene Nicole Good in Minneapolis, and the increased ICE presence in Minnesota; the open threat to invade Greenland and break up the NATO alliance; and the decision to seek criminal prosecution of Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell—all are indications of an unstable, highly dangerous President, who is being supported by a very corrupt, abusive group of Cabinet officers and others, such as Stephen Miller, Kevin Roberts, and Russell Vought, all promoting the very dangerous and divisive Project 2025!

Additionally, Trump has created a fantasy regarding the history of the January 6, 2021 US Capitol Insurrection on the White House website, and has been able to wipe out historically accurate information about his impeachments and the Capitol Insurrection on the Presidential Exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery. Also, he has twisted and distorted information about his predecessors, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama, on the corridor in the White House, where there is a Presidential Exhibit with portraits and text about earlier Presidents.

The Threat Of NATO Breakup Over Greenland Is Real!

Ronald 39 Comments

Donald Trump is on the road to taking direct military action to seize Greenland if Denmark does not agree to hand over control of the territory to the United States.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is in crisis, as the nations in the alliance have vowed to back Denmark, and oppose annexation of the territory to the US government.

So we are on the cusp of potential military conflict, with nations that have been allied with the US for 76 years ready to confront US military forces, an unfathomable scenario.

NATO will crumble, and the alliance of the closest allies the US has–the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, Canada, and all of the remaining nations in the 32 nation alliance–will face the threat of Vladimir Putin and the Russian Federation taking advantage of the crisis to strike at some of the nations close to the Russian border, including Poland, and the Baltic States of Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania.

It is hard to fathom what can be done to stop Trump dead in his tracks from provoking potential war, and at the least, potential disintegration of the international alliance that has existed since the end of World War II!

This is a terrifying situation, with Trump totally unleashed and dangerous, and a threat to world peace!

Trump Lusting For Greenland A Threat To NATO And International Law And Stability, And Must Be Vigorously Opposed!

Ronald 48 Comments

Donald Trump, clearly imperialist oriented, as John Tyler, James K. Polk, and William McKinley were in the 19th century, is lusting for the United States to take over control of Greenland, which has been a territory controlled by Denmark for the past three centuries.

Greenland, primarily ice covered, and having only about 57,000 people, has been an area utilized for defense by both NATO and the United States, but now, Donald Trump is threatening military action if Denmark is unwilling to give up control of Greenland and allowing the purchase of that vast land of significant natural resources, including oil, gas, and rare earth minerals.

The thought that Trump would be reckless enough to destroy the NATO alliance is horrifying, and would only encourage further aggression by Vladimir Putin in Ukraine and neighboring nations that once were part of the Soviet Empire before 1989.

It would also encourage Chinese aggression against Taiwan, and also endanger Japan and South Korea.

The NATO alliance of 80 years would be eviscerated, and six major European nations—Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Poland—have issued a joint statement condemning any threat to Denmark and its Greenland territory.

However, Stephen Miller, a key Trump advisor, has made it clear that the Trump administration intends to gain control of Greenland, in a threatening and aggressive manner, in an interview on CNN with Jake Tapper.

America is faced with a leader who has become drunk with power and ego, and is ready to upend the international order, that was stabilized after World War II, and has promoted defensive alliances that have succeeded in avoiding another world war for 80 years.

Donald Trump is promoting an international crisis that is totally unnecessary, as Greenland has already had an American military base, and Denmark is not against further American presence, but they are not willing to have America have direct control by purchase, and are outraged, rightfully, by threats of military force, which would destroy NATO!

Trump Advocating “Sphere Of Influence”, Threatening Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, And Greenland!

Ronald 54 Comments

Donald Trump is rapidly emerging as an old style American imperialist, in the mold of John Tyler, James K. Polk, and William McKinley, as he advocates that the United States is entitled to a “sphere of influence”, controlling and dominating the Western Hemisphere, including Latin America and Canada.

After the intervention in Venezuela, and the capture of the President and First Lady, bringing them to the US for prosecution on drug and weapons charges, he is now threatening action against Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, and Denmark’s control of Greenland.

In so doing, he is creating a crisis atmosphere, that the Monroe Doctrine, now renamed the “DONroe Doctrine”, allows America to dominate and dictate the future of the nations of the Western Hemisphere.

And he is clearly willing to threaten Denmark, a NATO ally, over Greenland, so the possibility of war between the US and its NATO allies is not beyond possibility, as horrifying as that is!

And what Trump is doing is encouraging Russia in its war against Ukraine, with Trump clearly willing to abandon Ukraine, who he has been extremely tough on in his dealings with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

And this also will encourage China to move ahead on attacking Taiwan, which it insists is part of the rights of China to control that island nation.

China’s aggressive nature is also a theoretical threat to South Korea and Japan as well.

With the new year 2026 just having begun, a major international crisis is looming, due to Donald Trump’s maniacal goals!

84th Anniversary Of Pearl Harbor: America In Great Danger Under An Incompetent And Unstable President!

Ronald 48 Comments

Today is the 84th Anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, which brought America into World War II.

There are only 12 survivors of that attack, all at least 102 years of age.

Their sacrifice, and that of all those who perished on that day in 1941, led to America’s role in world affairs, after the crazy isolationism of the 1920s and 1930s.

And yet, now, we have an incompetent and unstable occupant of the Oval Office, who is only too willing to be charmed by authoritarian figures, as he works to model himself on them and their evil doings.

Donald Trump has worked to destroy American foreign policy, and is now condemning democratic leaders in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, as well as allies in Asia, and democracies elsewhere.

The danger is that with our naivete in the White House, we could see another intelligence failure that leads to a disaster far worse than Pearl Harbor or even the September 11, 2001 attacks.

We have an incompetent Secretary of Defense in Pete Hegseth, and a Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, only too willing to bend to the wishes of Donald Trump, and the entire Trump Cabinet are a bunch of lackeys, only too eager to be sycophants.
