Karoline Leavitt Screws Trump in Career Ending Move - Pondering Politics

[TexasTowelie]

Jessiah criticizes President Trump for installing plaques beneath presidential portraits in the White House's West Colonnade that contain insulting descriptions of his predecessors. According to Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt, Trump personally wrote many of these plaques himself.

Key points:

• The plaques include harsh language calling Biden "the worst president in American history" and Obama "one of the most divisive political figures in American history"
• Timing concerns: Critics argue Trump is focusing on petty attacks while Americans struggle with inflation and cost of living issues
• Political backlash: Even Republican Senator Lindsey Graham questioned whether this "moves the ball" on everyday problems
• Polling data: The article claims Trump has maintained negative approval ratings for 281 consecutive days, with underwater numbers on key issues including:
◊ Immigration (-6 points)
◊ Foreign policy (-14 points)
◊ Trade/tariffs (-15 points)
◊ Economy (-16 points)

Jessiah notes that past second-term presidents with negative approval ratings at this point (Nixon, Bush, Obama) did not recover by midterms, suggesting Trump faces an uphill battle for the 2026 elections. He also argues this controversy should be highlighted to hold Trump accountable in upcoming midterm elections.

1. Prejudential

Most presidents were lass than stellar, as mentioned in Margaret Kimberly's book Prejudential, but not in the ways these plaques will say.
