trumps approval hits new record low
Apr 22^nd, 2026 at 11:27pm

the world experts say it's the worst result ever.
they have ever seen nothing like it.

The latest on Trump’s approval rating
Updated April 22, 2026
Donald Trump’s approval rating declined after the Iran War began, but it’s been holding relatively steady over the past week. His net approval in the Silver Bulletin average was -16.3 when a two-week ceasefire was announced on April 7. Today, it’s essentially unchanged at -16.6. Still, recent polls show that the war itself remains unpopular.

With gas prices still high, Trump’s net approval rating on the economy is sitting at -22, while his inflation approval is -34. Those are both near second-term lows. -EMD, 4/16/26

He's popular with the bean counters in Iran and Russia. Since he relaxed sanctions on Iranian and Russian oil, Iran has made $14 billion while Russia makes $150m a day. Can't understand the logic to that - allowing countries like Iran and Russia to make money from oil while the US is in conflict (direct and indirect) with them. Lets not forget the dodgy transactions that have been taking place in the US regarding oil just before Trump makes public announcements that affect the price of oil. That isn't odd at all, is it? No way Trump would ever consider personally profiting from this, would he?

Ah that's incorrect.
Iran makes 90 % of its revenue from. Oil
And those shipments are down massively.

In fact Iran will be unable to pay its bills in 60 days as will Iraq, and several other gulf states.

At that point the Saudis and the UAE will have to take steps to attack Iran themselves.

No, the only one who is incorrect is you, once again,but thats no surprise.
Irans oil contributes around 18% to GDP. As of 2021.

You really need to learn how to study. Grin

Incorrect. Iran is a manufacturer. It exports processed foods, pharmaceuticals, plastics, car parts and a range of other manufactured goods - not to mention drones - to Central Asia, Russia and Chi-na.

First things first, get your facts right. Your analysis can proceed from that.

It is a narrow road indeed, no?
