Trump Up in the Polls

Posted originally on May 23, 2025 by Martin Armstrong

Various polls show Donald Trump’s approval rating is rising, with some polls such as InsiderAdvantage/Trafalgar calculating an approval as high as 55%. “These results are not a surprise,” InsiderAdvantage pollster Matt Towery wrote. “Other pollsters who accurately polled election cycles where President Trump’s name appeared on the ballot have been showing his approval ratings moving into the fifty-percent-plus range.”

The same poll posted an approval rating of 46% in April when tariff talks spooked the markets, with a disapproval rating of 44%. The same poll conducted in March showed Trump’s approval sitting at 50%, with disapproval at 45%. Other polls are showing similar results. RealClearPolitics conducted a poll of all polls, estimating Trump’s overall approval rating is 47.1%, with a disapproval rating of 49.1%.

The Harvard University Center for American Political Studies (CAPS)/Harris poll for May found that 51% of voters believe the American economy is “strong.” Around 47% of respondents approved of Trump, with 48% disapproving. This is the first time in four years that the American public has felt strength in the domestic economy.

Unlike the last administration, the American people are actively watching as the president fulfills his campaign promises, from deporting illegal migrants to cutting taxes and attracting foreign investments. Trump is a highly active president who is engaging with the public on a daily basis. The nation is no longer questioning who is in charge.

It all comes down to confidence. Trump’s optimism about the United States’ future trajectory is trickling down to the public.

British to Seek Political Asylum in USA?

Posted originally on May 22, 2025 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Marty, I want to express my gratitude for hosting your conference in London last year in May. You said then that this might be the last time you see London. I remember when you lived in Cornwall Gardens. Do you think you will ever have a European conference again?

ANSWER: I will only return to London if Nigel Farage becomes PM. I am doing this report on how countries separate and collapse. It is very much a sign of the times. Britain under Starmer has gone simply mad. He intends to take you to war with Russia. He and Macron think that they can defeat Russia, get the $75 trillion in natural assets, and then the glory of the British Empire will rise again, while Macron views that France will lead Europe, which is why my sources in France call him the “Petite Napoleon.”

I do not think I could dare set foot in Britain. Starmer would imprison me for something I said at that conference or 10 years before. Maybe you should apply for political asylum in the USA, as suggested here by the former police officer. It would be interesting to see Trump’s response. During Vietnam, some Americans fled to Canada to avoid the draft. In Europe, they are going up to age 60. My staff in Germany has confirmed a personal friend who is 60, was told to report for duty.

Supreme Court Rules Allowing Executive Branch to Fire Executive Appointees (NLRB and MSPB)

Posted originally on CTH on May 22, 2025 | Sundance

At issue was President Trump’s plenary authority to remove Gwynne Wilcox, a former member of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and Cathy A. Harris, the removed chair of the federal Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). The NLRB oversees laws protecting workers’ rights and union elections nationwide, while the MSPB defends federal government workers against political discrimination.

The court’s order [READ ORDER HERE] is unsigned; however, it provides dissent from the three DEI appointed justices (lesbian, latina, black), and did not decide the underlying merits of the case, which will continue to play out in the lower courts. Presumably the court alignment was 6-3.

The overall decision is an endorsement of presidential authority to appoint leadership within the executive branch without review. The power of the president is plenary to the Executive Branch. As noted in the opinion, “Because the Constitution vests the executive power in the President, he may remove without cause executive officers who exercise that power on his behalf, subject to narrow exceptions recognized by our precedents.”

(VIA ABC) – The Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Thursday bolstered President Donald Trump’s bid to assume full control of executive branch agencies, giving a green light — for now — to his removal of the heads of the National Labor Relations Board and Merit Systems Protection Board, whom he fired without cause.

A district court had sided with Cathy Harris of the Merit Systems Protection Board and Gwynne Wilcox of the National Labor Relations Board, concluding their firings from their independent agencies were likely illegal and must be reversed.

In a 6-3 decision, the high court granted Trump’s request for a stay of the lower court order to reinstate Harris and Wilcox, at least for now.

“The Government faces greater risk of harm from an order allowing a removed officer to continue exercising the executive power than a wrongfully removed officer faces from being unable to perform her statutory duty,” the majority explained.

The dispute is currently working its way through a federal court of appeals and may ultimately return to the Supreme Court on the merits.

Federal law and Supreme Court precedent explicitly prohibits the president from removing the heads of those independent, advisory agencies without cause in most cases — but conservatives and the administration have long argued that the rule is unconstitutional. (read more)

Trump Administration Bars Harvard University from Enrolling Foreign Students

Posted originally on CTH on May 22, 2025 | Sundance

The Dept of Homeland Security has revoked the Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification for Harvard University, thereby essentially cancelling their ability to enroll foreign students into the school. Harvard was notified of the status and the letter shared by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

The notification comes the day after Yaron Lischinsky, an Israeli citizen, and Sarah Milgrim, an American woman (a young couple about to be engaged), were gunned down at the Capital Jewish Museum around 9:15 p.m. Wednesday. The suspect Elias Rodriguez, 31 of Chicago, repeatedly yelled, “Free Palestine” when he was arrested.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration revoked Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students in its escalating battle with the Ivy League school, saying thousands of current students must transfer to other schools or leave the country.

The Department of Homeland Security announced the action Thursday, saying Harvard has created an unsafe campus environment by allowing “anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators” to assault Jewish students on campus. It also accused Harvard of coordinating with the Chinese communist party, saying it hosted and trained members of a Chinese paramilitary group as recently as 2024.

“This means Harvard can no longer enroll foreign students and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status,” the agency said in a statement.

Harvard enrolls almost 6,800 foreign students at its campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, accounting for more than a quarter of its student body. Most are graduate students, coming from more than 100 countries.

Harvard called the action unlawful and said it’s quickly working to provide guidance to students.

“This retaliatory action threatens serious harm to the Harvard community and our country, and undermines Harvard’s academic and research mission,” the university said in a statement. (read more)
