War on all Americans? Trump won the election and has good approval ratings.
So are the eggs cheap yet?
The guy you are talking to has an account less than a day old and all he's done is suck orange nazi cock. If they are even a human then they are too stupid and arrogant to understand or accept any argument. No point in arguing or even talking to them.
They're human. A bot wouldn't have so much trouble with spelling and grammar.
Blaming Trump for high egg prices 10 days after inauguration is not going to be a winning argument for the Democrats.
Is war on Ukraine ended? The nazi traitor filth said day one, did he not?
Are you going to point out the listings of promises he already accomplished?
Looking at the overall performance, voters are satisfied.

Bruh, just look at this one poll. Just look. Egg prices don't matter because of this one poll. Please look. Various pollsters. Please.
You always want to look at multiple polls if they are there.
It's that why you have only linked the one you like over and over?
I didn't pick one poll. I showed a list of like 5 polls.
Correct - You didn't pick a poll. You picked a website.
Trump would 100% blame every existing problem on Biden the first week he came in, and will continue to blame anything he considers negative on him for years to come.
Both sides tell their side of the story. Right now the right is winning. More American people believe the Republican messages.
It's fair to blame him when he shuts down the CDC in the midst of an avian flu outbreak.
You are so funny. You get the timeline all wrong.
30% is not good approval ratings.
That's less than the 34% he had when Biden took the Presidency from him.
Why are you looking at 2021? We have updated info from various pollsters.

I am not sure which exact number you were looking. Anyway, you want to look at multiple polls if it is there. I provided the link.

This is more accurate.
That doesn't mean that what he's doing is good for Americans, it just means Americans don't understand the consequences or don't care.
I have seen a lot of comments these days that voters are stupid, or something equivalent. I suppose that is all the Democrats got at this point.
But there are way, way more comments, posts, and articles about how he's reneged on his promises & will continue to hurt people for the sake of hurting people... In the face of authoritarianism, you're worried about decorum?
Based on his current approval rating, he is doing what he promised to do, which won him the election.
This is the most garbage logic. His approval rating does not directly equate to fulfilling promises. There can be cause and effect, but it's not guaranteed especially when there's so many factors that impact approval rating.
Presidents get a post election bump. It has nothing to do with fuffiling policy promises. Hell, the bump began before he took office, so obviously it has little to do with him fulfilling promises. Trump had a bump his first term too. But guess what. Literally every other president, including Biden, had a better overall approval rating at the beginning of a term than trump ever has. Time will tell where his approval lands.
American voters are stupid, that's what conservative politicians have been working towards with 50 years of education budget cuts.
Good approval ratings with who? From what I've seen his approval ratings with Americans are almost as terrible as they were last time.

What approval ratings are you looking at, last I checked he'd managed to go lower than Biden.
