It’s for your own good.

Let’s talk about made up things. Things manufactured like pasteurized, processed cheese food slices. Each individually wrapped in plastic and ready for your serving pleasure in easy open packaging. The king’s approval rating has fallen again. Oh, dear? Can you believe it? Down from a shockingly low 41% now down to a paltry 38% (Heavy metal band playing in the background) But I don’t believe a word of it!
They are trying to tell me in the wake of the Epstein scandal. Sending troops into Washington D.C. . A general fear of a teetering economy. A strong disapproval of his trade war fueling the fear and the king’s approval rating has only dropped 3% in two months ??? Really? Really, really? I’m offended that they would think I would really believe that. Trump was loudly booed at a Professional wrestling match. Think about that for a minute. Even people who watch Professional wrestling no longer believe in Trump.
According to the polling, only 70% of Hispanics disapprove of Trump’s policy of arresting and putting Hispanic people in prison and deported never to see their families again. Does that sound logical to you? You’d really begin to get to thinking it would somehow be much higher than that. You really begin to see those guardrails. Like Acey Ducey Poker, somewhere in-between Bubba. Can’t be too high, nor too low.
Put the numbers in the machine and hit the chromium switch. Nobody is really watching what the machine was doing with them. Suddenly, the king can put Hispanics in prison in cages in concentration camps. And African Americans still dislike Trump more than Hispanics? I think someone needs to refresh the matrix, that one just doesn’t make good sense to me. Nine times out of ten times, the social group being placed in the concentration camps will offer up the least amount of support.
It means, what’s going on here? Figures don’t lie but liars figure, don’t they? Sanitized, but for not your protection. What would Wall Street do tomorrow if the king’s approval rating was in the low teens and possibly even single digits? What would they do? If everyone knew that, every one of them were all thinking the same things all at once. There would be a societal collapse. Making it impossible to assuage the public’s anger. Like a runaway steam train. If you can’t stop it, at least try to keep it under control. As Abe Lincoln once said, “You can fool some of the people some of the time.” And this is one of those times.
After all, there is only one Texas! The Republicans vainly hope those five seats will keep them alive. It’s possible the Republicans could still lose seats in Texas. You can only gerrymander a close election. You can’t outrun a runaway election. From professional wrestling to congressman Flood in a red, red state of Nebraska. People are angry and upset! Wouldn’t the anger in a blue states be even worse? First, it was a thrown snowball on Boston common. This time a sub sandwich in Washington! The sub sandwich heard round the world! A Federal agent assaulted and neutralized by a ham and cheese with onions, lettuce and tomato on a sesame seed bun.
Now, the Feds will have to set up a special school in Maryland somewhere. The Dangers of Sub Sandwiches. And Islamic food terrorism and You. Sub Sandwiches and Al-Quetta! An eight-week course covering everything from eye protection to mayonnaise spot removal.
38% I don’t believe that for one minute. Richard Nixon called them his vast silent majority. A great giant number of Americans who thought just like he did. People who didn’t show up in the polls but agreed with him, real or not. They didn’t have names or addresses, but they knew old Dick Nixon was right!
If I were to guess based on appearances and events. I’d guess somewhere between 15% and 18% approval. But like UFOs and aliens, they just can’t tell you about it without scaring the shit out of you! Even if the rating was 9%, they just couldn’t tell you that. It could create a self-perpetuating firestorm from Main Street to Wall Street. For the Republicans, it would be a lemming leaping contest into the dark void. For campaign contributors, a new doubt about the Republican future.
It’s not all sinister. It’s for your own good. See? Too much knowledge is a dangerous thing. They’re telling you 38% because they have to tell you that. And as long as you just flash the headlines Trump approval at 38% no one is injured. Few will even notice in passing. But if you flashed up that 9% number, the earth moves. Markets panic.
You never see the king without Karoline unwed mother Barbie spokes model. She’s his minder and his brain trust. All the other cabinet secretaries appear interchangeably in identical photo ops. Trump Meets with Secretary of State! Trump Meets with Tom Holman Gestapo chief. It’s not a team effort. Every department is fighting for the king’s attention and probably fighting with each other as well.
The king presides he doesn’t rule. It’s every department for its self. Forming power and influence centers. The powers behind the throne, so to speak. Secretaries with the power to let out huge contracts with no accountability from above. As long as you can convince the public, the king’s popularity stays around 35 to 38% things will be all right. They want to acknowledge your anger and forebodings but not to encourage them. “Hmm, I can see you’re very concerned! Yes, yes, we must look into that. We must, we must not look into that.
King Trump is the most hated person to ever sit at the White House table ever. Even including the British soldiers from the War of 1812. More hated than Sherman in Georgia. There is another reason they can’t ever tell you the truth. They have to ration out his popularity. If they were to admit to 9% today, what about tomorrow?
No more visits to anywhere people can boo or show emotion. Press only, no video shots of the crowds outside. Don’t mention the Vice president being run out of Greenland on a rail. Don’t mention the Canadian boycott killing Las Vegas and American distillers. Don’t mention falling commodity prices.
The pollsters aren’t magic, they can’t spin straw into gold! But close enough to keep 38% a believable poll approval number. The large expansive Pew poll shows the king in negative territory. Negative in every single category and demographic and most by a wide margin. And yet the King’s approval number only fell by 3%? Heck, I bet there’s more Professional wrestling fans than that.
