Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, April 20, 2025

So, amid all this turmoil, how are all the Donald Trump voters feeling? Has buyer's remorse set in? Are they starting to wonder whether voting in a convicted felon as president " a man who has declared bankruptcy six times " might not have been the wisest move?

Not according to the polls. Rather, the US appears to be a nation of dith Piafs: they regret rien. I'm not saying that disillusioned Republicans don't exist; do enough digging and you can certainly find a few. And journalists have been doing a lot of digging. During Trump's first term, there was a steady stream of media pieces profiling the regretful Trump voter. The genre has remained popular through the first few months of Trump 2.0. But, according to a much-discussed segment by CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten this week, polling proves that the idea of "regretful" Trump voters is "more of a media creation than anything else".

New National UMass Amherst Poll Finds More than Half of Americans Disapprove of President Trump's Job Performance
www.umass.edu

... The nationwide survey of 1,000 respondents, conducted April 4-9, found that while 44% approve of the job Trump has done thus far in his second term, 51% disapprove.

"Three months into his second administration, the honeymoon might be over for President Donald Trump as a majority of Americans (51%) express disapproval of the job that he is doing," says Tatishe Nteta, provost professor of political science at UMass Amherst and director of the poll.

"While Trump enjoys majoritarian approval from his base of voters that includes Republicans (89%), conservatives (83%), Trump voters (87%) and older Americans (50%), the same cannot be said for Americans across many generational, educational, income and racial groups where Trump's approval ratings are now underwater, with more members of these groups expressing disapproval or uncertainty than approval.

With more than three years to go in Trump's second presidency, there is still time for the president to right the ship, but the challenges posed by the economy, foreign affairs and the Democratic Party will likely make this a difficult endeavor." ...

"The stock market is plunging"

It was a 10% correction - which was long overdue and there is a BIG different between Wall Street and Main Street.

"prices are rising"

Which prices? Inflation is at multi-year low and food and energy prices are decreasing. Hell, even rental prices are decreasing.

"federal workers are getting laid off"

I already bought in - stop trying to sell me

"students are being snatched off the street by immigration agents."

Students from the State Penn? I ask as the people being deported are violent gang members and wife beaters here illegally. Second, it is not 'students' - it is 'foreign students' that broke the law or were protesting their host government.

So, why are their no regrets? Maybe because he is doing EXACTLY what he said he would do. The economic fixes, like tariffs, will have medium and long-term gain but cause short-term disruptions. All adults in the room knew that going in. Maybe Dems are too used to be lied to so when politicians don't actually implement their policies, they are fine with it.

The day before the election, the Dow was 42,000 - now it is 39,000 - yeah, less than 10%.

"... Inflation is at multi-year low ..."

www.cnbc.com
The consumer price index fell a seasonally adjusted 0.1% in March, putting the 12-month inflation rate at 2.4%, down from 2.8% in February.
Excluding food and energy, so-called core inflation ran at a 2.8% annual rate, having increased 0.1% for the month. That was the lowest rate for core inflation since March 2021.

"OK, that aside, if one of the two Congressional mandates for the Fed is the mandate to control inflation, why does Pres Trump want to replace the Fed Chair?"

Because the decrease in inflation had ------- to do with the Fed's actions.

"Please explain the due process that those who were deported had access to under Pres Trump?"

@#20 ... The day before the election, the Dow was 42,000 - now it is 39,000 - yeah, less than 10%. ...

Yeah, the whimsical tariff policies of Pres Trump have been having a see-saw effect upon the DOW (not really representative of the overall market, as the DOW is selected stocks) and the S&P 500 (more representative of the overall market).

The S&P 500 entered into correction territory (a 10% decline from a peak). Then, when Pres Trump's advisors seemed to be able to convince him that the rise in bond interest rates were A Not Good. Then, and only then, did Pres Trump back away from the tariffs he had put into place. And that resulted in the markets responding accordingly.

And that response of the markets to Pres Trump putting his tail between his legs and backing away from his tariffs seems to be the basis of how "good" the markets are doing?

Pres Trump retreated from his tariff position, and the markets responded by rising.

So, your current alias seems to revel in Pres trump admitting he made a mistake?

If due process says that they should be deported, then they should be deported.

So, instead of focusing upon the alleged "crime" of those who may be here illegally, I focus upon the alleged crime of denying US residents of their due process rights.

BaFin to Deepen Deutsche Bank Money Laundering Investigation (Feb 2019)
www.financemagnates.com

...Deutsche Bank released a statement on Friday saying that BaFin, the German financial regulator, has extended the remit of an independent auditor examining the lender's role in the Danske Bank money laundering scandal.

The case stems from an ongoing investigation into the Danish bank's Estonian division.

After a whistle-blower sounded the alarm about the activity of certain customers, most of whom were from Russia and the former Soviet Union, in late 2018, it became apparent that Danske Bank's Tallinn-based operations were doing business with some less than scrupulous individuals.

It is alleged that the bank laundered around $225 billion from 2007 to 2014. If that is the case, it would potentially be the largest instance of money laundering ever uncovered.

Deutsche Bank falls into the mix as it acted as Danske Bank's main correspondent bank. According to the Financial Times, the German bank was responsible for facilitating $180 billion in suspicious transactions....

Why? You making a fool out of yourself is very entertaining.

How about this: Google Why wasn't Mike Pence charged?

This lying ------- thinks that if you rob a bank but then give the money back, you should not be charged with robbing the bank. Patently stupid.

I know the reason we were given for why Biden wasn't charged.... He wasn't cognizant enough to stand trial.

You go into a court of law to prove such assertions and it's the defense that does that.

Not the prosecution and sure as hell not the investigators on the case.

You are in love with your own bull----.

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!

The reality is that Joe Biden stole documents out of a SCIF while a senator (he had no declassification powers), kept them in an unsecured garage, and planned to use them to profit by giving them to a ghostwriter.

But even in that case, this is not something the federal government would usually charge - exactly like in Trump's case. In that sense, I am happy about Biden's corruption and incompetence because it made it impossible to frame Trump as a criminal in their lawfare when Biden has done 1000x worse and received no punishment.

Maybe in Canada - here in the US, a prosecutor/DA is given wide discretion on when to file charges - and knowing the defendant is mentally incompetent, they usually do not pursue the case.

That discretion does not apply to pretending to be a psychiatrist or a psychologist.

I mean, why not also say that you're a brain surgeon?

Not for the first time, your utter lack of rational standards in the service of the Orange god is showing.

The simple truth is that Trump voters are lying about having no regrets.

They enjoy lying to pollsters,

And they are afraid not to lie, fearing revenge from Orange Julius or from one another.

Thanks for admitting you didn't read the report, but rather got analysis from a "news" outlet.

By the way, that wasn't the reason given. It was a side slap after Hur had to admit there wasn't evidence to prosecute.

You're still missing the salient issue. Keep digging.
