Re: Demolition. As of 10/21, just 23% approve, 24% not sure, 53% disapprove.

And this is before the full extent of the devastation was widely publicized.

Even among Republicans, he only gets 44% approval of his latest abomination.

1. But Fox Noise said it was normal

And they never make crap up to gaslight their moronic audience.

[viva la]

3. Normal-- wow.

Without any warning-- without authorization-- Trump has 1/3rd of the White House demolished in 2 days.

That isn't "normal" for an abandoned Wendy's store, much less the White House.

Isn't the White House a National Park site?

2. Basis for 23% approval? Typical conservative ignorance? Owning the libs?

[viva la]

4. "Whatever the emperor wants... he gets!"

That's the basis.

5. True, but when you get down toward the 20's...

...you've lost a whole lot of the emperor's base.

And I fully expect polling on the demolition looks a whole hell of a lot worse by early next week.

But I bet they count it worth it to distract from Epstein looming large again with the release of Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir on 10/21. I think it is pretty clear that's what drove the timing (demolition started the 20th) as I speculated here:
