Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Some Trump not winning data from Economist/YouGov.
Approve/disapprove:
25%-61% - Tearing down the East Wing
19%-60% - Invading Venezuela
18%-66% - Renaming Kennedy Center
And by 74%-11% Americans want Trump to get Congressional approval for invading Venezuela.

So we may have found the single most unpopular thing Trump has done in 2025 - the vainglorious renaming of the Kennedy Center after himself (via Economist/YouGov):

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
