Miles Taylor, who served as chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security during Trump’s first term, tore into the administration’s handling of its relationship with Canada in a new Substack post.
“Canada is demonstrating, for every democracy watching, that the response to Trump’s bullying should be neither submission nor hysteria… but the calm construction of alternatives,” he wrote. “Our allies aren’t leaving because they hate America. They’re leaving because they miss us, and they can’t stand the bully who’s holding us hostage.”
You’re welcome to interpret the data as you like, but in a historical context, the reverse is true.
What are you trying to say? That in a historical context his current level of support is insanely low and should be higher?
I’ll say it again: his current level of support is insanely high. Given his performance, it should be much lower.
I’m saying that, if you honestly think that, your interpretation doesn’t fit the facts of historical polling on presidential popularity or lack thereof.
But you’re welcome to believe what you want. It’s a waste of time to argue about it.
One of you is thinking about this compared to history and one of you is thinking about this compared to what reality would seem to demand and neither of you are wrong.
