Trump 2025

Quote: SOOPOO

I read a poorly written article this morning. Seems like Trump disinvited one governor from some luncheon for all the governors that is some sort of bipartisan thingie. The disinvited governor is the only Black governor in the USA. Can’t ascertain from the article the reason given. Seems to me if I’m a colleague I’d have to now decline my invitation. There must be more to this that I don’t know.

Wes Moore's colleagues are his fellow state governors. Donny also banned any Democratic governor from attending the business meetings of the National Governor's Conference.

You think any GOP governor has the scruples to decline their invitation in a show of solidarity with Wes Moore or Polis?

I’m not talking about the business part. I’m talking about the luncheon. My point is if I’m Joe Caucasian Governor I now choose to not attend that luncheon unless Wes Moore is invited. I haven’t heard of any Governors declining the salmon sashimi in solidarity with Governor Moore.

Well, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear (D) said he's going to sit this one out in solidarity with Moore and Polis. So that's one.

As of this writing, no GOP governor has declined the invitation to either the business meeting or the luncheon, to my knowledge.

I do believe this is not racially motivated but is of course politically motivated on Trump’s part.

Zoom in: Three national surveys point to the same alarming trend for a president who's done everything in his power to erase his predecessor's legacy.

Harvard CAPS/Harris (Jan. 28–29): Mark Penn's polling firm found that 51% of registered voters say Trump is doing a worse job than Biden, compared with 49% who say he's doing better.

Rasmussen Reports (Feb. 2–4): The Trump-friendly pollster is fending off MAGA criticism after finding that 48% of likely voters say Biden did a better job as president, compared with 40% who chose Trump. Another 8% said the two presidents have performed "about the same."

YouGov/Economist (Feb. 6–9): This survey found that 46% of U.S. adults say Trump is doing a worse job than Biden, compared with 40% who say he's doing better. Another 7% said "about the same."
