President Donald Trump seems indifferent to public opinion, according to one political analyst \u2014 and that poses a grave threat to the future of democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis approval rating has plunged into the 30s, and he doesn\u2019t seem to care,\u201d MS NOW\u2019s Paul Waldman wrote on Sunday. \u201cAmericans think the economy is terrible, and Trump seems indifferent. Instead, he\u2019s putting his time and attention into a series of projects that could not be better designed to make him look corrupt and out of touch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Waldman proceeded to list Trump\u2019s various actions that Republicans believe are counterproductive to their goal of retaining control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. These include his proposed gold-plated ballroom, his proposed Virginia arch, his $1.8 billion slush fund for supporters including Jan. 6 rioters and his revenge campaign against Republicans who do not always vote as he wishes. He also has vocally expressed indifference to problems that Americans are concerned about including the Iran war and rising gas prices.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed, if Trump were trying to engineer a defeat in November for his party, it\u2019s hard to imagine what he would be doing differently,\u201d Waldman argued. \u201cWhere does this indifference to both his own standing and the political fortunes of his party come from? He may have a version of senioritis, the way students stop caring about classes as the end of high school approaches. Trump does care about his legacy, but as far as he\u2019s concerned, that legacy isn\u2019t written in legislation or policy victories; it\u2019s physical and tangible. If he\u2019s loathed by two-thirds of the public when he departs the White House, it may not matter to Trump so long as there are gigantic buildings with his name on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cEven more, Trump may see this indifference to the public\u2019s judgment as a kind of liberation. He spent a lifetime attempting to free himself of any and all constraints, so he can do whatever he wants. Before he was president, it was the constraints of the law, ethics, convention and civility that vexed him; in politics it\u2019s the law and ethics (again), political norms, international alliances and agreements, the bureaucracy, Congress and the courts. The political interest of his own party, and even his own popularity? That\u2019s just one more thing tying him down. And he\u2019s going to cut those cords.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, Washington Post reporter Luke Boradwater recently noted regarding last week in the president\u2019s career that Trump\u2019s political standing continues to deteriorate week-by-week basis.<\/p>\n

Life finally man-handled President Donald Trump like it typically abuses Democratic presidents: with pushback and disappointment. But don\u2019t expect to see this brand of ego acknowledge it, says Washington Post writer Luke Broadwater.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy pretty much any estimation, President Trump has had a very bad week,\u201d said Broadwater. \u201cNew poll numbers show his approval rating has hit a second-term low. He is weighing whether to restart a bombing campaign in an unpopular war against Iran. Gas prices are high and inching higher heading into Memorial Day weekend. And his grip over Republican lawmakers is beginning to slip after he proposed a pair of deeply unpopular spending items, prompting an unusual revolt from the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that Trump is acting like a man who does not need to concern himself whatsoever with public approval in order to retain his power.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Mr. Trump has decided to double down, presenting himself as politically all-powerful even in the face of indications that he is not,\u201d Broadwater wrote.<\/p>\n
