@olivia_p_walker 1. c’mon there are zillions of data points pointing to his reputational decline, such as sales around the world, protests, etc. You are deluding yourself if you don’t think his reputation is down. This evidence converges with lots of other stuff.

@GaryMarcus As of 2024, the U.S. population alone is 340.1 million. Point is, 16,000+ poll responses isn’t representative. Still though, the data tells a story: which is why it’s messed up that people accuse him to doing all he did for personal gain. He made sacrifices. clearly
