The ramifications of his brutal budget proposal are sinking in.
The gutting of 'Meals On Wheels' and de-funding school lunches for poor kids are having an effect, coupled with the potential of millions losing their health care, spells a free-fall.
He won't lose his hard-core, racist, nut-job base though. That percentage is probably about 25%. The true deplorables.

5. Yes, definitely 'Meals On Wheels'. This will forever be the albatross hung around his orange neck!

How utterly stupid can he be? Meals on Wheels is hugely popular nationwide.
Who wants to tell their Grandma to "suck it up" and "tighten her belt"? Or..."Make Grandpa THIN again!"
I read that donations to 'Meals On Wheels' are pouring in in record amounts. I plan on donating to my local program today and I know others that are doing the same.

That's the only crowd he's playing to now. Then he'll bring in Ted Nugent to be his opening act.

11. IMO starting a war will NOT improve his rating. Starting a war as a perceived "payback" is one

thing and lots of Americans support that because we are a vindictive crowd (IMO). Starting a war, especially since we're already at war with a number of Countries, would be rejected. The emajority of us was to get OUT of wars. It's called war weary!
