Bottom line.  Trump is much more popular than the loons in the Democrat party.  Their approval rating is down around 20%.  And that 20% is made up mostly of radicalized Trump hating loons with no agenda other than to oppose Trump.

The only reason he's more popular with them is because they, like you, Smith, have been zombified by 60-plus years (it started in 1959) of KGB* disinformation, "active measures," and strategic deception counterintelligence operations waged against us and our NATO allies.

You really must think the Russians are supermen.  Keep up the paranoid fueled nonsense and ignore the actual facts.  That will ensure Republicans retain control for years. The Democrats turned their backs on hard working people.  They adopted fringe lunatic ideologies.  Now they are in a downward spiral despite every advantage including the media and justice system.  Americans rejected that nonsense in the last election.  Trump has stomped the Democrats like Godzilla stomped Tokyo.

Trumps approval rating is less than 50% right now. He barely has the majority in House and Senate.
First test will be if he can pass a budget. He needs all the Republicans and cannot fake it otherwise.
Next will be all these Federal job cuts - 80,000 from VA will be disastrous - most of them are Vets.

Inflation remains high with real concerns of further damage the tariffs will cause.
Canada - our biggest trade partner is all pissed off at us. They can shut off electricity to about 1.5m Americans in 3 states.
Trump is favoring Russia in the Ukraine war "Donald Trump has said he is finding it "more difficult, frankly, to deal with Ukraine" than Russia "
I guess the Ukrainians just wont die fast enough. 

How is the federal response to Measles going?

Amid a growing measles outbreak, doctors worry RFK Jr. is sending the wrong message

LOL.  Trump's approval rating is currently twice that of the Dems who are down in the 20s and floundering.  When you say that Trump "barely" has the majority in House and Senate (that's not even accurate in the case of the Senate) that means he still has the majority.  The election was a clean sweep for the Republicans and rejection of failed leftist ideology.  The fact that this occurred despite the leftist media and use of the justice system and political establishment is a political miracle.  No politician other than Trump could ever have overcome all the establishment forces against him.  It has never been done in American politics and likely never will be repeated.

It's a shame you're so ignorant.

Or are you a Russian agent?

Come on, Smith, fess up.

Twice the 20's is still not very good.

When you say that Trump "barely" has the majority in House and Senate (that's not even accurate in the case of the Senate) that means he still has the majority. 

He will need 60 votes (including 7 Dems) to end debate and put it to a vote and then pass the Senate by simple majority.

  I'll be concerned about Trump "barely" having a majority when 1 of his cabinet picks fails. So far, every single one has been approved. And if that Rep. Jackass was to angrily wave his cane on the steps of The Capital, would he be branded a "terrorist" and thrown into prison for years like the J6'ers? Never happen.
