Trump Is Blinded by His Lunatic MAGA Faithful
Donald Trump is living in a MAGA mirage sustained only by his “lunatic faithful” that is destined to evaporate, a political analyst says.
But David Rothkopf said on The Daily Beast Podcast that the president is deluding himself if he believes the primary results are a true read of how the broader country feels about him.
Rothkopf told host Joanna Coles that the people most likely to vote in a Republican primary are the “one-third of Americans who will follow him into the fires of hell.”
“I don’t think it says anything about the people of Texas,” he said. “I think it says something about the people who show up and vote in a Republican primary in Texas.”
He noted, “Trump’s underwater in almost everything, and about two-thirds of Americans ... feel he’s doing a lousy job at most things.”
Trump’s average disapproval rating at 58.3 percent is higher than at any point in his two terms, according to RealClearPolitics, which averages all the major polls. Americans’ disapproval of the president’s job performance is higher than the previous record of 57.9 percent, which he achieved in the aftermath of the Capitol insurrection.
