Read from newsweek:
Overall, Trump’s net approval is underwater in most of the country by this measure, despite holding steady among his core supporters.
According to a new state-by-state breakdown, Trump's approval ratings remain positive in several Republican-dominated states, with the highest net approvals in Wyoming (+34 percent), West Virginia (+27 percent), Idaho (+23 percent), North Dakota (+18 percent), Montana (+17 percent), and Oklahoma (+17 percent).
Conversely, the president is experiencing significant disapproval in historically Democratic states, according to the polling.
Hawaii reports a net approval of -55 percent, Vermont sits at -50 percent, Maryland at -44 percent, Massachusetts at -42 percent, California and Rhode Island at -40 percent, and Washington and Oregon at -36 percent. In populous states such as New York (-32 percent) and Illinois (-29 percent), the figures further reinforce national partisan divides.
Trump's net approval stands at -12 percent in Arizona, -13 percent in Pennsylvania, -15 percent in Michigan and Nevada, -14 percent in Georgia, -11 percent in Wisconsin, and -8 percent in North Carolina. Florida, Texas, and Ohio are all at -6 percent, maintaining the pattern of net-negative standings in all major swing states.

Donald Trump’s niece says one “abysmal” survey showing voters souring in record numbers will hit her president uncle the hardest.
It emerged this week that Trump is underwater on job satisfaction with every single pollster in America—including those usually supportive of him.
But Mary Trump, 60, said the numbers that are most likely to alarm the 79-year-old are those from his favorite channel—Fox News.
“Donald’s poll numbers are abysmal,” the psychologist, author, and political commentator said on her YouTube channel, arguing that Fox’s polling—however she views the network—is “rock-solid.”
In that survey, which aired on Fox’s Special Report and was detailed on Fox’s website, 60 percent rated their personal finances only “fair” or “poor,” while 76 percent said the national economy is in bad shape.
Trump himself appeared to acknowledge the slide last week: “My poll numbers just went down, but with smart people they’ve gone way up,” he said, in comments reported by Reuters, whose own survey pegged his job approval at 38 percent, the lowest of his second term.
Mary Trump’s video also seized on Fox’s framing that voters think the White House is doing “more harm than good” on the economy. She added that even core supporters are feeling the pinch. “Yikes is the professional term for that,” anchor Bret Baier said of the numbers in the Fox segment she cited.
The wider polling picture is grim for the president. A J.L. Partners survey conducted Nov. 19–20 found 41 percent approval and 49 percent disapproval, with a 3.2-point margin of error. Marist’s Nov. 19 poll put Democrats up 14 points on the 2026 generic ballot.
Even Rasmussen Reports—a pollster often seen as friendlier to Republicans and excluded from The New York Times’ aggregator—has Trump in trouble. In its Nov. 12–20 survey, 51 percent disapproved of his job performance, while 46 percent approved.
But Mary Trump argued that the Fox data—which aligns with Reuters/Ipsos findings that just 26 percent approve of Trump’s handling of household expenses—will land hardest because it reflects personal finances and day-to-day costs.

Trump appears to doze during Cabinet meeting
Secretary of State Marco Rubio was the last person to deliver remarks as members of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet went around the table lavishing praise on their boss Tuesday — a process that took two hours and 17 minutes, by CNN’s count, and appeared to lose the president’s attention multiple times.
Rubio heralded Trump’s “transformational” foreign policy as the president, seated beside him, slouched in his chair, his eyes closed. Then he abruptly shifted, straightened, and looked at the secretary of state.
Moments later, the president’s eyes again appeared to close as Rubio made a joke about the college football playoff season. The Cabinet members around the table loudly laughed. The president, unmoved, barely raised his lips, his eyes fluttering briefly.
Trump narrowed, closed or appeared to close his eyes multiple times throughout the lengthy meeting, including during impassioned remarks by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and as Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer detailed workforce development efforts. He also seemed to look down at a paper on the table in front of him at times, giving the appearance his eyes were closed.

Read from CNN:
Marjorie Taylor Greene defiant since announcing resignation after falling-out with Trump
GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene stood defiant in her first interview since announcing her resignation from Congress, making clear she’s not afraid to speak out on the issues that made President Donald Trump “furious” with her, including her support for releasing all files related to accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
“He was extremely angry at me that I had signed the discharge petition to release the files,” Greene said in an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday evening. She said her concerns lie with survivors of the convicted sex offender’s abuse, who she said are “asking for all of it to come out.”
“They deserve it. And he was furious with me,” she said.
In an announcement last month that shocked many in Washington and in her district, the Georgia Republican said she would resign from her seat early next year amid a feud with her longtime ally. Trump had called her a “traitor” and vowed to back a GOP challenge to her House seat in the primary election.
The president warned her that making all of the Justice Department’s information on Epstein’s case public was “going to hurt people,” said Greene, who was one of four Republicans to sign on to the petition to force the transparency bill to the floor.
Though her position on the Epstein files brought her public falling-out with Trump to a head, she has also notably broken with her party’s leaders recently on several issues, including health care reform, relations with Israel and the House’s absence during the 43-day government shutdown.
Greene suspects many of her GOP colleagues’ unshakeable loyalty to Trump comes largely out of a fear of defying him.
“I think they’re terrified to step out of line and get a nasty Truth Social post on them,” she told CBS’ Lesley Stahl, referring to the president’s social media platform where he has launched vicious attacks against her.
While most Republican lawmakers hesitate to publicly criticize Trump, Greene insisted what they say behind closed doors “would shock people.”
“I watched many of my colleagues go from making fun of him, making fun of how he talks, making fun of me constantly for supporting him to when he won the primary in 2024, they all started, excuse my language, Lesley, kissing his a** and decided to put on a MAGA hat for the first time,” she continued.

Crazy to see her turncoat from Trump's group!
Read from CNN:
The Trump administration is ruffling more feathers with some fans of America’s national parks — this time by replacing images of the picturesque parks on some annual passes with an image of President Donald Trump’s face.
An environmental group, the Center for Biological Diversity, is suing the administration to prevent the change, set to happen on January 1, 2026.
The Department of the Interior, which oversees national parks, announced recently it was unveiling “commemorative new designs” for park passes — one of which features Trump’s face alongside George Washington.
“It is the department’s honor to showcase the America the Beautiful pass honoring America’s 250th anniversary and the generations who have protected our lands,” Secretary Doug Burgum said in a video statement posted on the department’s website.
The Center for Biological Diversity filed the lawsuit Wednesday in federal court in Washington, DC, “to prevent President Donald Trump from replacing a beautiful picture of Glacier National Park with a closeup of his own face on the America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Annual Pass.”
“Blotting out the majesty of America’s national parks with a closeup of his own face is Trump’s crassest, most ego-driven action yet,” said Kierán Suckling, the center’s executive director. “It’s disgusting of Trump to politicize America’s most sacred refuge by pasting his face over the national parks in the same way he slaps his corporate name on buildings, restaurants, and golf courses. The national parks are not a personal branding opportunity. They’re the pride and joy of the American people.”

Trump also wants his pic to be on $1 coin:
A portrait of President Donald Trump may be featured on a commemorative $1 coin issued by the United States Mint in honor of America’s 250th birthday in 2026, according to first drafts of the images confirmed by the US Treasury.
“No fake news here,” US Treasurer Brandon Beach post on X in response to images of the coin on X. “These first drafts honoring America’s 250th Birthday and @POTUS are real. Looking forward to sharing more soon, once the obstructionist shutdown of the United States government is over.”
The draft images show Trump’s side profile on the front with “Liberty” at the top, “In God we Trust” on the bottom and the dates 1776 and 2026. On the reverse is the famous image of Trump raising his fist after the Bulter, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt, with the words “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT” at the top and an American flag billowing behind his head.
It’s not clear the controversial coin design will be minted: It’s against US law to display the image of a sitting president or living former president. A president may be featured on a coin no sooner than two years following the president’s death.
“No coin issued under this subsection may bear the image of a living former or current President, or of any deceased former President during the 2-year period following the date of the death of that President,” according to the US code governing coin design.

What a freaking dictatorship move.

We'll probably eventually have to have a picture of him in our home or ICE will deport us.
It's really vexing indeed. And the sad/troubling part is there are still a lot of people defending/backing the wannabe dictator trump, even though his approval rating already went down quite a lot.

America is getting weirder and weirder.
We're dangerously close to not being the country everyone wants to move to, visit, and spend their money at.
That's not a good thing.

Read from Yahoo news, Trump renames John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to “Trump-Kennedy Center” :
A Trump-appointed board voted to rename the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to “Trump-Kennedy Center,” the White House confirmed on Thursday, December 18.
Though House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries claims the board’s move is illegal without “legislative action,” the Kennedy family shared their own thoughts on the matter.
“President Trump and his administration have spent the past year repressing free expression, targeting artists, journalists, and comedians, and erasing the history of Americans whose contributions made our nation better and more just,” Kerry Kennedy — the daughter of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, and sister of Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. — wrote in a statement shared via X.
“President Kennedy proudly stood for justice, peace, equality, dignity, diversity, and compassion for those who suffer,” she added. “President Trump stands in opposition to these values, and his name should not be placed alongside President Kennedy’s.”
Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of JFK and son of Caroline Kennedy, wrote, “Microphones were muted and the board meeting and vote NOT unanimous. I’m told Trump explicitly motivated to act by JACK FOR NEW YORK. Our campaign represents everything Trump can’t stand or defeat.”
Robert F. Kennedy’s grandson, Joe Kennedy III, agreed with Jeffries’ stance, tweeting, “The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law. It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says.”
