Republicans are slipping further into despair as markets continue to boil and poll numbers sink into the second month of President Donald Trump’s unilateral declaration of war on Iran.
“This is no April Fool's joke. This is disaster," said CNN data analyst Harry Enten of Trump’s dark-deep poll numbers, which sank lower than his hated predecessors, Joe Biden and Jimmy Carter (both of whom were removed by voters). "All these numbers are a disaster for President Trump.”
Republican voters and Trump supporters, who have dominated the social media scene on X with rampant cheerleading since billionaire bought Twitter, now appear to be doing a different kind of shouting.
“I don’t care how much they suck for the love of God please vote Republican,” wailed one X user.
“It's heart breaking. WE NEED TO VOTE REPUBLICAN!!” said another.
Others were trying to use fear to drum up MAGA’s slumping interest as the president’s deeply unpopular war plodded on — despite Trump’s earlier claim that he would not engage in the “endless war” of past administrations.
“Unless you want to return to far left Dem policies- you’d be a fool to NOT vote Republican,” warned one example on X.
Other deeply entrenched Republicans did what they could to sell promises that look increasingly like fantasy as Trump’s policies continue to blast U.S. markets.
“Once this war is over with IRAN, the stock market is going to explode, gas prices are going to collapse, and the American economy is going to take off! Just in time for the run-up to the midterms. Poor Democrats,” insisted right-wing podcaster Bill Mitchell.
But the standard MAGA opinion on X appears to be indifference, bordering on outright hostility with Trump.
“Our MAGA neighbors have taken down their Trump sign and removed both of the Trump stickers from their truck,” admitted one X user.
