Did You Hear What Donald Claims His Approval Rating Is Now, Bless His Heart?

Oh, sweetie, you are just not going to believe the latest chatter buzzing around! Our very own President, Donald J. Trump, has been out there on his... what do they call it? Ah yes, Truth Social, telling anyone who will listen that his approval rating is a whopping 64 percent!

Can you imagine? He insists the country is "hotter" than ever and those public polls, which show him quite a bit lower, are just "rigged." Well, I never! He even listed off all the wonderful things he thinks are happening: a "STRONG BORDER," no inflation (bless his heart for thinking that!), a powerful military, and a great economy. It's like he's living in a different world sometimes, isn't it?

Grandma's Sarcastic Reactions (Oh, Heavens to Betsy!)

"No inflation," he says! Heavens to Betsy! I just paid an arm and a leg for my weekly groceries, and don't even get me started on the price of gas! Who is he trying to fool with that one?

And "rigged polls"? Oh, sweetie, if every poll that doesn't go your way is "rigged," then what's the point of even having them? It's like when little Timmy used to claim his Monopoly game was rigged every time he landed on my hotels!

Honestly, it makes me want to just sit down with a cup of chamomile and wonder what exactly is going on in Washington these days. Back in my day, politicians at least tried to pretend they were listening to what the people were saying, not just making up their own numbers!

Clarifying What Actually Happened (The Nitty-Gritty, Bless Its Heart)

Now, let's get down to brass tacks, because facts are stubborn things, even when someone tries to wish them away. Despite President Trump's rather... optimistic claims, the actual numbers from places like Decision Desk HQ show his approval rating is hovering around 44.1 percent.

That's nearly 20 points below what he's bragging about, dear. And it seems there's a bit of rocky terrain politically, with some folks feeling the pinch from affordability issues, and those rather unsavory files linked to that Jeffrey Epstein character causing a stir. Plus, the Democrats had some wins in the 2025 elections, which certainly doesn't help his case for being universally adored.

Remember how he campaigned on fixing prices, a big deportation program, and reversing old policies? Well, some folks are still waiting for those "A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus" economic grades he promised, especially with inflation still being a chatterbox at the dinner table. He's trying to blame poor old former President Biden, of course, but a grandma knows a thing or two about taking responsibility!

Why Grandma "Just Can't Even" Today (My Goodness!)

Honestly, with all this back-and-forth, a gal just reaches her limit! It's not just the opposition causing a fuss either. Even some of his own Republican colleagues are starting to eyebrow-raise, bless their hearts.

There's been a little spat with that Marjorie Taylor Greene, and even a state Senate in Indiana couldn't pass a map that his party wanted. Even Karl Rove, a strategist who knows his way around Washington, said people are getting "tired" of all the constant fuss and "retribution."

He seems to think he can just will people into agreeing with him, just by declaring everything is the "biggest, best and most amazing" ever. My goodness! I just can't even, sweetie. It's enough to make you want to put your feet up with a good book and forget about the whole hullabaloo!
