Speaking of his approval rating: https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-silver-bulletin

And yesterday his net approval rating hit a new second term low of -18.8. For historical context, that’s right around where his net approval was at the end of his first term, in the aftermath of January 6th.

It seems this figure is on a one-way slide - downhill. Roll on midterms!

Oh Bugger they missed - Again

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

I was just thinking earlier today: if this person dies while in office, the Internet will melt down. Forums, social media, streaming - everything will be overloaded.

Reuters - Trump safe after being rushed from White House correspondents dinner, shooter in custody

breaking

WASHINGTON, April 25 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were ‌rushed out of the White House Correspondents' Association dinner by Secret Service agents on Saturday night after loud bangs were heard.

Dinner attendees immediately stopped talking and people started screaming “Get down, get down!" immediately after the ‌noises ⁠were heard.

Hundreds of guests dove under the tables as Secret Service officers in combat gear ran into the dining room.

Trump and the ⁠first lady had bent down behind the dais before being hustled out by Secret Service officers. ...

About an hour after Trump was ⁠rushed from the event, he posted on Truth Social that a "shooter had been apprehended."

Clearly if dinner had been 'open carry' and everyone bought their own gun the president would have been safer.

J D Vance wonders if its 3rd time lucky.

Yeah, it'll definitely be chaotic until the street parties settle down.

Quoted on CNN https://edition.cnn.com/2026/04/25/politics/live-news/trump-white-house-correspondents-dinner in the last few minutes.

May be I am too cynical, I hope this was not a planned incident.

Now he's busy posting video and pictures to his social media account, rather conveniently, I can just see him asking "is the video ready yet, I really want to get it up on the net so every one can see".

He must be the only president that does not really need a press secretary and who seeks to completely control the news cycle personally himself.

I'm trying to not conclude that this was planned distraction, to distract attention from the other distraction, that was intended to distract attention from something about files.

Hmm.

Very possible. Once again, a shooter misses his very large target.
