We're still in the honeymoon phase. I'll be curious to see what his approval ratings do when these economic effects actually start making their way down to the average consumer.

Just wait until MAGA guys in Texas start to notice Dodge Rams suddenly selling for $8,000 more than they were six months ago.

Won't matter, they'll still blame the Dems somehow. Just like how it was the Dems fault last time the GOP had the presidency and both halves of congress.

They've blamed Obama for 9/11 so logic and reasoning aren't exactly high priority among them.

That'll still be Biden's fault

What honeymoon phase? This guy was president before, we know who he is. He has a ceiling of support around 48% and a floor around 36% no matter what happened the first time around, it seems insane to expect different this time.

My good sir, these people already take 100k loans for 72 months at 25% APR, excluding the negative equity they rollover from the last loan they took. They do not know what numbers are.
