Transcript

I told everybody I give a letter grade I give him a b so far could do better but pretty good looking at what people agree with that Trump's doing early on and what they disagree with pardoning the January 6 protesters and ending requirements for government employees to report gifts these are tremendously unpopular downsizing the federal government incredibly popular he's also done an incredible job with the border so Trump now has downsizing the government and controlling immigration and getting rid of violent immigrants has incredibly popular parts of his mandate and that's the big win for him Trump is massively more popular than he

was the first time round he's at 49% compared to last time 44 he's still the historically least popular president ever my point in all of this is when you see Trump doing things like his meme coin or taking on Pete Budaj all that kind of trump 1.0 negativity grifting that's the stuff that's going to derail this but the stuff that's not going to derail it is focusing on the Trump 2.0 agenda and that is somebody who was a never Trumper as we all know in the audience and now somebody who is supporting him relentlessly that extra 10% of people who support him right now is me and other folks who are looking at the people who put around him he has to

stay with the 2.0 agenda as hard as it is so that's my appeal to them and I think it's a coin toss if he will be able to maintain his popularity
