Or is Trump and his MAGA cohort in Washington just ignoring all of this as noise, and pushing forward. Here's a poll for some reflection on this issue.

| Trump's lack of ability to tolerate his own unpopularity will, at some point, break, and he will stop his criminal attempts to overturn the government. | |

| They need to be aimed at helping Democrats win back the Latino and Black votes we've lost, and getting people to the polls. | |
