Trump was dead, but he's not. So he's not, but the rumor was going around and partly because I guess we haven't seen him in a little while and he has no scheduled public appearances this weekend. Now he also hasn't taken a vacation since he started and no summer vacation, which is a little unusual. So it wouldn't surprise me if he's just going to do a little golfing this weekend. And it's a holiday weekend, so maybe he's just golfing, hanging with friends, and that's all the vacation he needs. Maybe he doesn't seem like a beach guy. So if you don't go to the beach, vacations don't make nearly as much sense, do they? If you're not a gourmet food connoisseur or a wine drinker or a beach guy, vacations just don't have that much appeal. So you'd rather just live a life doing the stuff you like. Like golfing, so we'll do that.

I'm going to inject my own speculation. I like that word. I'm going to speculate that since it's almost impossible to imagine him having the whole weekend off with nothing on his schedule unless there's something really big that's about to drop. So is it possible that he's doing some really serious negotiations that we don't even know is even a topic? Could it be that sometime next week we're going to learn that he was really working this weekend and like really working and got something done? Or that there's some new danger approaching that we don't know about and he's got to figure out what to do about it. I don't know. It does seem unusual that we wouldn't know what's going on and he kind of dropped out of sight even for a few days even on a holiday weekend. So it could be anything. Could be cosmetic surgery or anything but anything's possible.

A Gallup poll. You may have heard of this one, but the Post Millennial talked about this, Hannah Nights and Gale. And the poll said that 0 percent of Democrats were satisfied with the state of America right now. Zero. Now obviously you're thinking the same thing I am which is okay there's no poll that has zero for any question. Zero is just not even one of the possibilities. Now it wasn't exactly zero. It only rounded down to zero. So there were a few but it rounded down to zero.

So I thought my first take on this was to ignore it because obviously there was something wrong with it. But then I saw that the Post Millennial writing about this that apparently when Biden was in charge, 97 percent of Republicans were dissatisfied. So only 3 percent of Republicans at most said they were satisfied when Biden was in charge. So I feel like what this is really measuring is the effectiveness of brainwashing. I feel like that's what it's measuring because let me ask you this. Have you seen the man on the street or person on the street interviews where somebody who's just playing around will go up to a stranger and say here are three policies that let's say it was under Joe Biden. Three policies that Joe Biden's doing. What do you think of these policies? And then he'll cleverly list three things that are Trump policies that Biden hates, but he'll say, "What do you think of these Biden policies?" And if you ask a Democrat, the Democrat will say, "Well, those are very wise policies. They're very good." And then the interviewer will say, "Those are all Trump's policies." And the person on the street always goes into full cognitive dissonance and like, "Oh well I maybe I should do a little more research."

It has been proven certainly to my satisfaction that people's impression of whether things are going in the right direction has everything to do with what other people told them. Their opinions were literally assigned to them by the party and by the fake news. So yes, all you can take from "is the country moving in the right direction" is that one side is winning and everybody on the other side is gonna say yeah it's all going to hell.

If you took a list of all the things that Trump is doing that people would agree at least is getting some kind of result, how hard would it b
