00:00President Trump has lost his political superpower, 36 percent. This is Donald Trump's approval rating.

00:07This is the lowest of his second term. It speaks to the ways in which he isn't connecting with

00:13the public. President Trump's political superpower has always been that he's been able to detect the

00:20public zeitgeist and also in many ways just shape it. But you see something very different today.

00:26He is cloistered. He doesn't do those big rallies anymore. He isn't out of the White House in the

00:32way that he used to be. He is also taking to social media quite a lot. He posted 160 times

00:41to Truth Social from 7 p.m. to 12 at midnight on Monday night. You see Donald Trump most often now

00:50sitting behind a desk. And the question really is, how low can this president go? So a couple of

00:57examples of this. This Thanksgiving Day, he took to social media. He disparaged the country, calling it

01:03divided, saying that it was being carved up. And he blamed this on the governor of Minnesota,

01:11Tim Walz, who he called seriously retarded. Yet another example, the phrase quiet piggy. And this

01:18was his response to a Bloomberg White House reporter who questioned him about what he knew about

01:25Jeffrey Epstein. Another example, he essentially called for the execution of Democratic senators who

01:33were reminding military members that they didn't have to obey illegal orders. If you think about what

01:40Americans find important, it's basically the cost of living. What does Donald Trump do? He essentially

01:46dismisses those concerns. He's talked about affordability as being a sort of con job among

01:52Democrats. This is not what Americans elected Donald Trump to do.
