Trump Is a Weak, Failing President, and the Media Is Finally Saying So
The New Republic ^ | 11/24/25 | Greg Sargent

Posted on 11/24/2025 3:08:39 PM PST by DallasBiff

As Trump’s downward spiral starts producing harsher media coverage, a writer who regularly dissects MAGA and political media explains why he’s entering a tailspin that will be very hard to reverse.

Suddenly, media outlets seem to have figured out that President Donald Trump is really, really unpopular. There’s been a palpable shift in the discourse: The New York Times reports that Republicans are quietly looking beyond Trump, suggesting he’s losing his grip on the party. Axios claims that it’s “red alert” time for Trump and the GOP. Politico describes how Republicans are getting routed in school board races, a sign that MAGA culture-warring has lost its sway and is even backfiring. And one CNN analyst offers a brutal reading of recent approval numbers on Trump, pronouncing them “atrocious.” We talked to Salon’s Amanda Marcotte, who regularly dissects MAGA and media foibles alike. We discuss why the political media smells blood, how deepening splits in MAGA show Trump’s weakness, what it means that the Trump-MAGA culture war and immigration raids are badly alienating ordinary voters, and how Trump is in a potentially irreversible tailspin. Listen to this episode here. A transcript is here.

#1 - All the media does is rag on Trump. This is nothing new.
#2 - Rasmussen had him at 47 last time I checked, which is great historically.

Nothing but lies.

Words need not be said beyond noting what the New Republic had to be said about Biden.

So it seems The Atlantic and now The New Republic got the same memo.

“ All the media does is rag on Trump”

If they loved him we’d be in big trouble.

This is how the mockingbird media changes perceptions in this country. They repeat a lie over and over until people believe it. Some of us woke up to this method. Hopefully more will awaken. It’s basically a subtle form of mind control.

Yeah sure, that is why he is more popular than Obama..but I do agree that if things dont turn around for the economy we are gonna get our asses kicked in the midterms, problem is this, the Republican party NEVER wanted to win, PERIOD, they want to go back to the old guard, the old GOP where it was controlled by the Bushes, so they hope that with Trump gone, they can go back to the way they used to be

Proving the demo-commies are delusional, and with their USAID slush fund (and others) dried up at the source (taxpayer dollars) they’re cracking from the stress. Like sailors of old adrift on a raft with no water and certain death facing them, imagining they are back home eating a sumptous feast.

Nothing beats trying to get the honest truth about the state of a war from your sworn enemies. They always tell the truth, especially the legacy media.

LOL the “media outfits” who have flushed their integrity down the toilet in order to “get” Trump at all costs for 9 years

Wishful thinking. They think if they repeat it enough, then maybe it will come true. F ‘em.

The GOP is looking towards Pence and the Bushies for salvation.
