Thought For The Day – 25 Is Bigger Than 30

Cloudy With A Chance Of Blunder Showers

April 27, 2026

It has continued to be unbelievable, scary and sickening to see Trump have approval ratings in the forties. WTF. How is it possible for that many people to have anything but monstrous contempt for a conman, egomaniac, convicted felon, bestie with king of the pedophiles, and himself an adjudicated sexual assaulter? (One judge stated that what Trump was found guilty of amounted to “rape” according to common understanding of the act.)

For quite some time I have been telling myself and others that I would be pretty happy or something like it if Trump’s approval rating hit 25%. More recently, I’ve come to feel like I would feel, if not happy, at least somewhat relieved if he hit 30%. 

With all his many “accomplishments” piling up, Darn Old Trump seems to be accelerating his march to the bottom. He is currently somewhere between 37 and 32% overall approval – depending on the poll. For context, Der Furor was at 34% right after he incited a vicious, brutal mob to hang Mike Pence, lay siege to the Capitol and stage a violent insurrection. Then Trump pardoned all the criminals.

So, I’ll settle for him having a 30% approval rating, but I’m still hoping for 25%.

I only have one more thing to say about that:

Don’t trust any percent over thirty.
