QUOTE: "Trump's support crossed the rubicon this week, flipping from net positive to net negative as his honeymoon came to an abrupt end."

Brian Tyler Cohen - February 21, 2025

EXCERPT: "It is wholly unsurprising that voters across the political spectrum do not support the richest person on Earth who derives much of his wealth from government contracts being the unilateral arbiter of who can regulate the very agencies that oversee his companies, all the while having unfettered access to our most closely guarded and sensitive private data, including banking and tax information. And if we didn’t live in the upside down, Republicans - of all people - would be the first to protest against this unprecedented power grab. It’s their collective cowardice that’s suddenly rendered them silent— but Americans can plainly see what Trump’s sycophants refuse to acknowledge about the dangers of Musk and the agenda he’s executing.

I want to be clear that these bad poll numbers are not a death knell for Trump, as much as I would like to say they are. *But* they are the beginnings of a chink in the armor, and they’re coming sooner than any other modern American president. And while Trump may enjoy the bully pulpit of the presidency, the legislative branch contracting every ounce of its autonomy to him, and Elon’s unlimited funds, what he needs most is popular support. Once he loses that, all of the groveling congressional Republicans in the world aren’t going to help him. We’re not there yet, but the trends are clear. And they don’t bode well for Trump or his party."
