President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

[EasternVol]

What type of "leader" would post that?

It has forever been beyond my comprehension.
It forces me to draw conclusions about his worshipers that I would prefer not to draw.

He posts crap like that because he knows it endears him to the great unwashed.

 

[luthervol]

tell me again what has been your sole reason for your votes in the last three elections?

pure and simple..........trying to avoid the damages from the toxicity of trumpism.....I never once pretended otherwise.

I'm beginning to think you're a bot. Nobody posts **** as stupid as the **** you post.

### Trump's Approval Rating Among African Americans

As of early October 2025, President Donald Trump's approval rating among African Americans remains historically low, hovering around **11-15%** based on the most recent major polls. This marks a significant decline from the 16-20% support he garnered from Black voters in the 2024 election, where he made modest gains compared to 2020 (8%). The drop appears tied to dissatisfaction with his handling of the economy, inflation, immigration policies, and perceived rollbacks on civil rights issues, according to analysts and pollsters.

#### Recent Polling Data
Here's a summary of key polls from 2025 focusing on Black/African American respondents:

| Pollster/Source | Date Conducted | Approval % | Disapproval % | Net Rating | Sample Size (Overall) | Notes |
|-----------------|----------------|------------|---------------|------------|-----------------------|-------|
| The Economist/YouGov | Aug 1-4, 2025 | 11% | 84% | -73 | 1,702 adults | Sharpest recent drop; down 25 points from May's -47 net. |
| Fox News | Sep 2025 (exact date unspecified) | ~23% (implied) | 77% | ~-54 | Not specified | Highlights erosion of 2024 gains ahead of 2026 midterms. |
| Decision Desk HQ Aggregate | Mid-Jun 2025 (latest tracker) | ~14% (implied) | ~86% | ~-72 | Aggregated | Disapproval hit first-term highs; overall Trump approval at -7 net nationally. |
| McLaughlin & Associates | Jun 12-15, 2025 | 30% | 70% | -40 | 2,000 registered voters | Higher outlier; up slightly from April but still low. |
| Emerson College | Jun 24-25, 2025 | ~23% (implied) | ~77% | -54 | 1,000 registered voters | Minor boost from April but trending downward overall. |

- **Trends**: Approval started higher post-inauguration (e.g., 24-29% in Feb-Mar per YouGov and McLaughlin), peaked briefly around 22-35% in May (Decision Desk HQ average), but has sunk since June amid economic concerns and policy backlash. Gallup noted a 9-point early rise among Black adults (to ~20-25%) due to shifting party ID, but later data shows reversal.
- **Context**: Black voters overwhelmingly disapprove (70-86% across polls), with net ratings as low as -73—far worse than Trump's +13 net among white voters. Issues like inflation (cited by 60%+ as top concern) and immigration drive the sentiment, per Pew and Northeastern University analysis. This could impact GOP midterm strategy, as 2024's 15-20% Black vote share (per Pew/AP exit polls) was a high-water mark.

Polls can vary by methodology (e.g., McLaughlin leans Republican), so aggregates like Decision Desk HQ provide a balanced view. For real-time updates, check sources like Gallup or YouGov trackers. If you want breakdowns by age/gender or comparisons to other groups, let me know!

Someone is angry. Just shared the tweet. Sorry it bothered you. You can back to crying. You used a lot energy on that post

 

[EasternVol]

“Mentally weak.” No way you typed that with a straight face.

He could have just written 'stupid'. Would that work?

 

[appvol]

It's called freedom of choice. Pursuit of happiness. You know, all that silly Declaration of Independence stuff that you and the MAGA cultists would wipe your asses with.

You'd be the same person in the 1940's who'd say, "Can you believe that Negro actually thought he could play Major League Baseball! The nerve!"

And never forget, "A woman's place is in the home!"

So you are going with the typical Liberal talking point. RACIST!!!!!!!

 

[luthervol]

You should consider changing your name to KarenVol.

if you change yours to ostrich88

 

[hog88]

Are you implying there are limits to how we will respond to 'a threat to the peace and security of the United States'?

Yes.

 

[luthervol]

LOL

Yes, illegals are receiving healthcare. No, they should not get taxpayer funded healthcare.

so you're saying a child should be denied emergency healthcare?
Isn.t this where we started? smdh

 

[hog88]

Oh really? Prove it.

What other countries did Qatar gift a $400M airplane or the like?

You made the accusation so prove it does.

Actually it took like 15 seconds bro.

Do everyone a favor and stop posting every half-baked Janitor Jim's stream of consciousness Twitter feeds, eh.

 

[LouderVol]

We have a major Air Force Base in Qatar, think we wouldn't defend it?

thats not what the order says.

"“The United States shall regard any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty or critical infrastructure of the state of Qatar as a threat to the peace and security of the United States,” the order says."

If it just said "we will protect American lives and assets" that would align. it specifically mentions the state/nation of Qatar multiple times.

He could have just written 'stupid'. Would that work?

Not really. Still would’ve been a hypocrite.

 

[BeardedVol]

Yes.

Based on what?

Should? No, I don't think a healthcare provider should deny emergency (you moved the goalposts) healthcare to a child.

The questions should have been:
Should a healthcare provider be able to refuse healthcare to anyone that cannot pay? Answer - Yes
Should taxpayers foot the healthcare bill for illegal aliens regardless of age? Answer - No

 

[LouderVol]

pure and simple..........trying to avoid the damages from the toxicity of trumpism.....I never once pretended otherwise.

so you also don't know what you want, except your hate of the other side. welcome to MAGAism.

 

[MontyPython]

Gladly.

Trump supposedly hates NATO, right? Why? Because it doesn't "pay its fair share" and he doesn't want to risk American lives for a "foreign war".

Yet, with Qatar, how has it paid its fair share? (it hasn't... other than gifting him $400,000,000.00. That enough zeroes for ya?)

And why would Trump mystically and magically now want to risk American lives in the Middle East? (See the $400M above).

Case closed. Go change my oil.

We have defense agreements with over 50 different countries not including NATO countries.

Did we use nuclear weapons after the Cole attack? The African Embassy attacks?

Stop crying wolf.

Trump got that much money from Qatar. The Department of War got a plane gifted to it.

Case closed find another lie

The U.S. does not pay Qatar to use its air base; instead, Qatar has invested billions of dollars to build and support Al Udeid Air Base for use by the U.S. military.
Key aspects of the financial arrangement include:

• Built and funded by Qatar: Qatar built Al Udeid in 1996 and has since invested billions in its development to encourage and maintain the U.S. military presence.
• Ongoing investment: Qatar continues to invest heavily in the base. In May 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Qatar would invest an additional $10 billion to support the facility in the coming years.
• Operational cost-sharing: In addition to infrastructure investment, Qatar also covers a significant portion of the annual operational costs for U.S. forces in the region.

lol....how is that moving the goalposts?
healthcare obviously includes "emergency" healthcare......smdh

So your stance is that children should not be denied healthcare (emergency).
Good. Most would agree.
Certainly enough to show room for compromise.

HC providers shouldn't be forced to provide the care.

I do know what I want.
Less division and more compromise,

 

[BeardedVol]

Did we use nuclear weapons after the Cole attack? The African Embassy attacks?

Stop crying wolf.

So because we didn't use nuclear weapons in those two instances, you think there's a self-imposed upper limit how the United States government will respond if attacked?

Some bizarre logic, but sure, ok, we won't nuke anyone on Qatar's behalf, you prepared to send US troops into Qatar to defend them from a conventional attack?

 

[hog88]

I do know what I want.

Funny how you've never called for the Dems to compromise.
