Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : You'd think with that comb-over Trump would want to avoid high winds, but instead he's jumping into a whirlwind of whoppers with the enthusiasm of Elon Musk on a rally stage.
42% : You could chalk this up to the MAGA lie of the week, but with such a short time until the election (and early voting already underway in some places) the rancor, confusion and fear Trump is causing could have an effect.
33% : But -- as he did with Springfield -- Trump is doubling and tripling down on these lies even as some Republican governors and lawmakers in affected states confirm that FEMA is on the ground in a big way and aid is available.
30% : Trump seemingly does not care either, about truth or recovery.
23% : Project 2025, which Trump claims to know nothing about, calls for privatizing FEMA and doing away with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which tracks hurricanes.
16% : Trump (with the help of his newest best buddy Musk, sorry JD) wasted no time in pivoting from lies about the immigrant community in Springfield, Ohio, (so last week!)
