Yes, and this report is from Forbes. it documents a day by day drop over two weeks ago and it is continuing as of now. Mid term elections are November 3rd so he still has time. Or has he?

Think he might also be out of favour with those Decoys, left on the plane while he sneaked away to safety.

82 days until something happens.

Sadly, there are 3 scenarios that are equally viable.

GOP loses - I haven't even began to think about what he will do of that happens.

GOP wins excessively - people think he is cheating and all hell will break lose.

He sends ICE agents to "monitor" polls, or finds some other way to interfere.

Literally anything is possible with him.
All 3 of these scenarios run the risk of massive civil unrest, interestingly enough.

Watching with great interest - do keep popping in, imaround.

I suppose things change a lot. As they say, a week is a long time in politics. I would be worrying that the constitution might be changed somehow and /or voting would be stopped or paused. Wartime situation springs to mind ! Comfort might be gained by looking at the ageing process- no one lives forever, especially if they have a stressful job.

Indeed, imaround. It seems unlikely that the mid terms will occur without disruption. Mr Trump is not known for listening to negative feedback, but even he must be aware of the potential bloody nose that awaits him, and will be planning activities to mitigate this.

I am not sure why posters are so obsessed with Trump.

A certain poster who lives in Australia, repeatedly gets told off on GN for having opinions about Uk politics.

Trump and his actions are affecting us all. I don't see why people outside the UK shouldn't have opinions about politics here, although we're not the important country we think we are used to be. I think everyone in the world is entitled to have opinions about Trump.

FB is awash with very detrimental posts/cartoons, as far as I can tell, from Americans.

A recent favourite is the back view of a T shirt that reads,

‘THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRUMP
AND A FLYING PIG
IS THE LETTER ‘F’’

Hopefully the next time Trump plans to move between planes incognito, he uses a rubbish bin, which then delivers its to the correct tip and empties it!

fancythat, Mr Trump's behaviours in bombing Iran has had consequences for the people of the UK.
Mr Trump's threat to invade Greenland threatens NATO, of which we are a member.
Perhaps this is why we feel moved to comment on his activities.

As this thread is about the US it seems like a good place to put up this request to sign this petition.

It concerns a company called Palentier. Some of you may not have heard of it but believe me they know everything about you.
Palentier owns and runs our NHS computer system. It also runs the MET system.
They also operate ICE. They are also in the Epstein files.
If you are slightly interested in this company ( worth $340 Billion) it’s all there online.

Fancythat
Because everything trump does affects the £ in my pocket.
From filling up our cars to buying a cabbage.

Trump’s actions and statements affect our world. The war he started in Iran has current and future implications for Europe, USA, Middle East but every country in the world. He’s being discussed because of his unstable reactive behaviour that has far reaching consequences

Just to add, the NHS platform is England only. Scotland and Wales have separate NHS platforms, unlinked.

Thanks petra, not a fan of Palentir.

He actually said 'young beautiful girls...Young Beautiful Girls...^young beautiful gorgeous girls^ ... before he got to the point & said they thanked him.

Lord, if he wasn't in charge of USA I would so enjoy him making me laugh.
