Canadian conservatives losing the election has R/Conservatives finally recognizing the impact trumps buffoonery has on international levels

Reminder that just a few months ago, the conservatives had a 20 point lead and were gearing up to kick the liberals out. But the tariffs and the attacks on Canada from Trump gave the liberals exactly what they wanted, a platform to stand on. People were willing to overlook the disastrous decade of Trudeau and keep the liberals in power, because of Trump's actions and rhetoric. So now, instead of a friendlier government to negotiate with, we now have a government who's main platform will be resistance against Trump. This is the definition of playing yourself, and is a massive blunder. As much as I defend Trump, I have to call it as I see it, he shot himself in the foot for no reason

Trump really gamed the Conservatives this election. Tariffs and 51st state garbage = fear mongering liberals win. Disappointing, probably should have kept his mouth shut.

How did this happen? Conservatives led by 20 points in Jan. Were tariffs that big of an issue?

- Yep, they were. And the 51st state rhetoric.

Canada is Canada. But Trump did affect this election. It’s undeniable. And I think Trump continues to show what a determent he can be the conservative movement. He has not been a good party leader and we now have another example to the list where he’s hurt conservatives. Anyone counting their 2026 midterm chickens right now is crazy. Anything can happen. Right now I don’t trust Trump’s ability to get conservatives/republicans elected. If there’s more trade war shyt and we’re annexing Canada and Greenland talk, we’ll get dog-walked in 26’

South Florida truck drivers could soon lose their jobs if they cannot demonstrate English proficiency under a new executive order signed by President Donald Trump.
The mandate, issued Monday, requires all truckers operating on U.S. highways to be able to read traffic signs and communicate with law enforcement and safety officials.
The order defines "proficiency" as the ability to understand road signage and interact with agencies like traffic safety departments, border patrol, and agricultural checkpoints. Drivers who fail to meet the standard could be pulled from service, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Enforcement is set to begin in 60 days.

Mixed reactions among Miami truck drivers​

Russell Rocha, a driver with 17 years of experience, told CBS News Miami he supports the rule.
"If you can't read or understand a certain sign, that's a little dangerous—it could affect all of us," he said.
But others are critical.
"It's an awful law," said Yoman Rivera, a Miami-based trucker with 15 years on the road.
"I never had an issue with English," he added, explaining that he's always been able to recognize signage and communicate with officers despite his limited command of the language.

Why the Trump administration is pushing the new measure​

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy cited fatal crashes linked to drivers' language barriers as justification for the rule.
"There are documented cases where drivers' inability to read signs and speak the language may have contributed to a series of fatal accidents," he said.
Sherry Fairchild, who has driven trucks for six years, said it remains to be seen how many drivers the rule will push out of the industry.
"It depends on how many people are affected and how many decide to exit the industry because of this," she said.
Rivera warned the consequences will ripple beyond drivers.
"The consumer is the one who will suffer," he said, citing disruptions in delivery schedules. Rocha agreed, noting the potential for delays in shipping and receiving if drivers are sidelined.
With the countdown to enforcement already underway, the industry is bracing for significant changes—and possible fallout.

Young Men Are Already Souring on Trump​

What exactly drove young men’s hard-right shift is one of the most pressing questions that came out of the 2024 election after male voters under 30 proved key in helping deliver Donald Trump’s victory. Since then, there’s been a flurry of media coverage trying to explore the underpinnings of young men’s support for a 78-year-old convicted felon who was found liable for sexual abuse. While many of these stories hand-wring that young men may be forever lost to MAGA-world, less than 100 days into Trump’s second term, it appears some of them are already experiencing buyer’s remorse.

A new national youth poll released on April 23 by the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School found that 59 percent of men between the ages of 18 and 29 disapprove of Trump. Additionally, 47 percent of them say that he’ll hurt the economy, and 40 percent say they are worse off under the current administration compared to the Biden era. Young men had a different take on the president as recently as January. At the time, 62 percent of men under 30 approved of how Trump handled the economy, according to polling by the youth research firm SocialSphere. But by early March, even before tariff chaos and the economic tailspin that followed, that number had already dropped 14 points, to 48 percent, Puck reported. “If life doesn’t become more affordable as Trump promised, and quickly, even his strongest backers may conclude he can’t deliver,” John Della Volpe, who runs SocialSphere, told the outlet.

This slide is not limited to just young men — several polls show Trump is facing a general downward lurch in his job-approval ratings. A CNN poll released on April 27 found that Trump’s approval rating at the 100-day mark of his administration is the lowest for any newly elected president since Dwight Eisenhower seven decades ago. And a Pew Research Center survey also released on April 23 showed Trump’s net approval dropping from minus 4 percent in late January to minus 19 percent in April.

But the 18-to-29-year-old male voting bloc backed Trump over Vice-President Kamala Harris by a notable 14-point margin in November, following a campaign in which the Trump-Vance ticket heavily centered a retrograde, rightwing vision of masculinity and promised better financial outcomes for men. Trump framed himself as a “protector,” echoing some corners of the manosphere; made several stops across the Joe Rogan/Theo Von/Nelk Boys bro-podcast universe; and tapped directly into some men’s grievances that they’re “not allowed” to be men anymore. Some of these voters bought into the campaign’s gender backlash, as demonstrated by the “Your body, my choice” chant and other violent rhetoric against women spreading like wildfire in the days after the election. But experts say young men’s anti-establishment leanings and their frustrations over their economic prospects following the Covid-19 pandemic also in part fueled Trump’s popularity with them.

That anti-Establishment streak among this group isn’t going anywhere. The latest Harvard poll found that only 17 percent of young men trust Congress all or most of the time. The federal government and the Supreme Court fared slightly better, at 20 and 32 percent, respectively. But just because young men may be souring on Trump now doesn’t mean that they’ll leap into the arms of the Democratic Party. Overall, 71 percent of the men surveyed disapprove of the job congressional Democrats are doing, and 70 percent agree that elected officials in general seem motivated by selfish reasons.

The poll also found that young men’s economic anxieties continue to linger — 37 percent of those surveyed are struggling to get by, and 56 percent of them are fearful of the future. This gives Democrats an opportunity to articulate a path forward that strengthens young men’s financial futures rather than those of the ultrawealthy, as the current administration is doing. Rebuilding trust with these voters won’t be easy, but Democrats will have to if they want to win future elections.

This post has been updated to reflect Trump’s declining overall approval ratings.[/U]

I love how he went on an interview outright stating that people voted him in to make things more expensive, and yet they are still confused as to why everything is more expensive. Even he knew he was up front about how open his agenda was, and nobody called him out on it cuz they were too busy owning the libs

│ Trump knows the average American is dumber than a bag of rocks and relies on that.
│ Make a mistake? Spin it as the other guy before you or convince your followers that somehow magically its' actually a good thing you made a mistake.
│ Lie a bunch of times? Gaslight everybody into thinking that they just weren't actually listening to him.

Americans: Everything is too expensive

Trump: I know, let's deport our cheapest labor force and raise tariffs (taxes) on anything we might sell or need to make things.

Americans: THAT MAKES SENSE

│ │ You joke, but farmers get an absolutely insane amount of your tax dollars in welfare. Only when they get it, they call it "subsidies", and it's a good thing that they deserve. When a poor working class single mom gets it, they call it welfare and it's a bad thing that they don't deserve.
│ │
│ │ They're currently screeching to get 25 billion or so of your tax dollars in welfare as a result of the economic damage done by the tariffs.. which they voted for. Boot straps are for poor people.

│ │ │ People have an insane conceptualization of what a farmer is. For significant farms, it's more like "landlord". We call the people who do the work "agricultural laborers". I think if people realized what farmers actually were and did, instead of keeping their cheesy idea of them, they'd be somewhat less amenable to all the lemon socialism that we throw at them.

│ │ │ │ I live in a tiny farm town in South Georgia and this is entirely accurate. The tractors are basically self driving with GPS so all the farm hands are gone. When I was a kid, the local black guys drove the tractors and harvesters and what not. Now the computer does it while the farmers and their kids sleep and listen to podcasts. They all drive $80-100K trucks and wear Carhartt and drink Bud Light or Michelob Ultra.
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ They all swear that "the libs" are coming to get them and Daddy Trump was gonna be their savior and now they are crying bc all that sweet welfare subsidies are gone and he deported all the Mexicans and other migrants and even the Haitians won't do a thing unless it's "fukk you, pay me!".
