According to new reports this week, Donald Trump is preparing to cut Elon Musk loose a lot sooner than expected. Politico says that Trump has been informing his Cabinet members that Musk will not be around much longer, and the speculation is that it is because he has become incredibly toxic to the Republican Party. But Musk's toxicity isn't Trump's main problem, and he'll soon find out that HE is the on driving things down.
After Democratic Governor Janet Mills of Maine went against Donald Trump's order about transgender athletes, the Social Security Administration cancelled vital contracts with the state to operate offices. Leland Dudek, the acting administrator of Social Security, personally ordered staffers to cancel the contracts while admitting that this would increase fraud and screw over parents of newborns seeking to get Social Security numbers, but he did it anyway to punish Mills for going against Trump. Leaked emails have confirmed all of this, and now there are growing demands for Dudek to be removed.
The latest rounds of polling data have confirmed that Donald Trump's approval rating has hit rock bottom, and will likely get even worse as the weeks tick by. Trump's overall approval rating is NEGATIVE 14 points, and his handling of issues like the economy and trade negotiations get even worse marks. And for the first time, a majority of voters are not happy with aspects of Trump's immigration policies, marking a stark difference from just a few weeks ago. Everything he does is unpopular, as Farron explains.
