If you ask Donald Trump himself, he believes everything is going well after 10 months as president.
But according to some opinion polls, the reality is far from that rosy picture.
Economy and cost of living biggest concers
Donald Trump’s approval rating has sunk to one of the lowest points of his presidency, with just 37% of Americans expressing support for his performance, according to a new CNN/SSRS survey. That’s a steep drop from 47% back in mid-February, shortly after he began his second term.
The survey, conducted from October 27–30 among 1,245 adults, shows 63% disapproval, nearly matching Trump’s all-time low recorded by CNN after the January 6 Capitol riot in 2021.
Americans are clearly feeling the strain. When asked how things are going in the U.S., 68% said “pretty/very badly”, while only 32% said “very/fairly well.”
The economy and cost of living topped voter concerns at 47%, followed by the state of U.S. democracy at 26%. Surprisingly, immigration — despite Trump’s aggressive policies — was cited as a top concern by only 10%.
61% believe Trump has gone too far
Public opinion on Trump’s policies is equally harsh: 61% believe his policies have worsened economic conditions, while only 27% say they improved the economy. On foreign policy, 56% think Trump has hurt America’s standing in the world, compared to just 32% who say he helped.
The survey also revealed concerns about presidential authority: 61% of Americans believe Trump has gone too far in using his powers, amid executive orders, National Guard deployments, and international strikes conducted without congressional approval.
With midterm elections approaching, 41% of Americans said their congressional vote would be a way to oppose Trump, while only 21% would vote to support him.
These numbers reflect growing frustration as the federal government faces what may become the longest shutdown in U.S. history, and Americans contend with rising costs, political uncertainty, and questions about the nation’s democratic future.
Trump has responded angrily to the polls, branding them “fake,” continuing a pattern of dismissing unfavorable public opinion.
”So many Fake Polls are being shown by the Radical Left Media, all slanted heavily toward Democrats and Far Left Wingers. In the Fair Polls, and even the Reasonable Polls, I have the Best Numbers I have ever had and, why shouldn’t I? I ended eight Wars, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, kept Prices, Inflation, and Taxes down, and am setting standards for Right Track / Wrong Track for a future U.S.A. Fake News will never change, they are evil and corrupt but, as I look around my beautiful surroundings, I say to myself, “Oh, look, I’m sitting in the Oval Office!,” he wrote on Truth Social.
It’s terrifying to look at photos of innocent children… and then realize that some of them grew up to become mass murderers.
We’re wired to see kids as pure, sweet, and untouchable. That’s why seeing a smiling baby and knowing they later committed unimaginable crimes hits so hard.
And the seemingly sweet, innocent child we’re about to introduce would one day grow into one of the most terrifying killers in American history.
On a warm day in May 1960, a baby boy was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His parents — a 23-year-old chemistry student and a 24-year-old teletype machine instructor — welcomed their first child with hope and dreams for his future.

By all accounts, he was a lively, cheerful boy in his earliest years, full of energy and promise. But something changed.
Shortly before his fourth birthday, he underwent double hernia surgery, and his family noticed an immediate shift in his behavior. The once-bubbly child became quiet, withdrawn, and increasingly uneasy.
Resentment toward his baby brother
By the time he started school at six, the boy was reportedly already grappling with feelings of abandonment and had begun to harbor resentment toward his baby brother. Teachers described him as timid and reserved, often sensing feelings of neglect as his father’s studies kept him away and his mother battled depression and hypochondria.
The household was tense. Arguments between his parents were frequent, and his mother even attempted suicide at least once, demanding constant attention and spending much of her time bedridden. The boy later admitted that he never felt his family was stable, never sure if his home would remain intact.
However, the thin, blonde-haired boy did have a few friends growing up.
“He was a fun kid to be around as a child,” said Ted Lee, who grew up in the same neighborhood.
But as the young man grew, a dark fascination began to emerge. Some people think it started when he was just four years old and watched his father dig up animal bones beneath their house.
The sounds of the bones sparked a strange thrill, and he became obsessed with what he called his “fiddlesticks.” He explored further, searching for bones and even dissecting live animals to study their skeletons.
When the family moved to Bath Township, Ohio, his interest intensified. He began collecting large insects and small animal skeletons in a hut near their wooded property, some preserved in jars of formaldehyde.
His father, assuming it was scientific curiosity, taught him how to clean and preserve bones, skills the boy eagerly adopted.
Escalating obsession
The obsession soon escalated. He started gathering roadkill, dissecting animals, and burying them near his hut. Sometimes, he placed skulls on makeshift crosses.
By 14, he had started drinking heavily, hiding liquor in his jacket and calling it “my medicine.” His parents’ marriage collapsed, ending in a bitter divorce. By the time he graduated in May 1978, his mother had moved out with his younger brother, leaving the 18-year-old alone in the family home.
By age 15, he had decapitated a dog, nailed its body to a tree, and impaled its skull on a stick. In high school, he became known for strange pranks, bleating and faking seizures to get attention.
For example, he began mimicking the slurred speech and awkward movements of a man with cerebral palsy who, he claimed, his mother had once hired as an interior decorator. Some dismissed it as bizarre behavior, even cruelty – but to others, especially his teenage peers who overlooked the tastelessness, he was genuinely funny. Their laughter seemed to fuel him.
He’d stumble past open classroom doors while lessons were in session, peer through windows from outside the building, or make strange bleating noises just out of the teacher’s earshot.
“He would bleat like a sheep,” recalled former friend and classmate John Backderf.
“Sometimes he did it loud. He knew it cracked us up.”
First victim
But underneath the jokes, darker compulsions were forming.
Just three weeks later, on June 18, 1978, the young man picked up a hitchhiker —and committed his first murder.
Over the next 13 years, he killed 16 more young men, dismembering some and, in horrifying cases, consuming parts of their bodies. The majority of his victims were first drugged with sedatives and then strangled to death.
His crimes also included necrophilia, cannibalism, and attempts to create compliant “zombies” by drilling into victims’ skulls and injecting acid into their brains.
Caught in 1991
He was finally caught on July 22, 1991, when one of his intended victims escaped and led police to his apartment. Inside, authorities found photographs of dismembered bodies, severed heads in the refrigerator, and a horrifying collection of human remains.
The boy who once played innocently with “fiddlesticks” had grown into Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer, the Milwaukee Cannibal, one of America’s most infamous serial killers, later chronicled in Netflix’s Monster.

Jeffrey Dahmer met his own violent end on November 28, 1994, when beaten to death by a fellow inmate at age 34.
The inmate who killed Jeffrey Dahmer, Christopher Scarver, claimed that God told him to do it.
When news of Dahmer’s death broke, his mother, Joyce, lashed out at the media, saying, “Now is everybody happy? Now that he’s bludgeoned to death, is that good enough for everyone?”
Reactions from the victims’ families were divided. Some expressed relief, while others said the news only deepened their pain. Catherine Lacy, the mother of victim Oliver Lacy, said, “The hurt is worse now, because he’s not suffering like we are.”
The district attorney who prosecuted Dahmer urged the public not to glorify Scarver, reminding everyone that Dahmer’s killing was still an act of murder.
It’s been five years since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the Royal Family. The couple moved to Montecito, California, after a short stint in Toronto, and it appears that living in Canada had a significant impact on Harry.
Meghan recently posted a video of her celebrating the Los Angeles Dodgers’ win over Harry’s team, the Toronto Blue Jays, in the World Series. However, critics now accuse the Duchess of faking the clip.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s lives are very different from the ones they were used to within the Royal Family. While they have tried different business ventures after leaving the Firm in 2020, living in the US has, most likely for Harry, also been about finding new interests. One of those appears to be baseball.
Hary and Meghan lived in Toronto for a short while before finding their forever home in Montecito, California, about a 90-minute drive from Los Angeles. The couple has been seen out on dates at concerts and sporting events in the greater LA area several times.
Last week, they appeared in the front row as they watched the Los Angeles Dodgers play the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series. Days later, the Dodgers won the World Series, but for the final game, Harry and Meghan watched it at home.
After Meghan’s home team from Los Angeles beat Harry’s Blue Jays, she posted a video of herself celebrating the win, jumping and cheering. Meanwhile, Harry appeared disappointed, sitting in a chair in the background.
Meghan Markle slammed for “fake” Dodgers celebration
But the black-and-white video didn’t receive quite the response Meghan probably expected. Instead, many accused the former actress of faking the clip.
Meghan Markle celebrated the Dodgers’ World Series win from her home’s theater room alongside husband Prince Harry and a friend. Here’s a clip from the winning moment, shared to her Instagram Stories! pic.twitter.com/9gEcKcQEZL
As she posted the video on Instagram, some users took to the comments to express their anger toward the Duchess, claiming she “staged” it.
“Totally normal to set a camera up recording yourself for another forced narrative when you’re Meghan Markle. Cringe-o-rama again,” one user wrote, per Express.
Another user asked, “Does Harry realise she is recording his every move inside his own home and can easily release the footage when it suits her?”
“So staged! She looks absolutely ridiculous”, whereas another wrote, “So FAKE and CRINGE! Makes me want to hurl,” a third commented.
Do you think the clip of Meghan celebrating the Los Angeles Dodgers’ win was fake or not? Please share your thoughts in the comment section on Facebook.
Zohran Mamdani scored a historic victory in the New York City mayoral race.
In his victory speech, he directly challenged Donald Trump — and the president’s response was swift, sharp, and impossible to ignore…
Tensions were high
In a historic landslide, 34-year-old Zohran Mamdani has been elected New York City’s next mayor, crushing former governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
Mamdani racked up over 1.03 million votes, surpassing the combined total of all his opponents. His victory marks a groundbreaking moment: Mamdani becomes both the city’s first Muslim mayor and its first mayor of South Asian heritage.
Even before the election, tensions were high between left-leaning Zohran Mamdani and President Trump, who has deep, personal ties to New York City.
Speaking with Fox News in June earlier this year, Trump argued that a win for Mamdani was “inconceivable” because he recognized him to be “a pure communist”. Ahead of the vote, Trump took to Truth Social with a pointed warning, threatening to cut federal funding to the city if Mamdani, whom he once again branded a “communist”, won.
“Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him and hope he does a fantastic job. He is capable of it, but Mamdani is not!” Trump wrote.
“If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home,” he added.
A nation betrayed by Donald Trump
But now the election is over, and the city’s Board of Elections reported the highest voter turnout in over 50 years, with more than two million New Yorkers casting their ballots.
In his victory speech on Tuesday, November 4, Mamdani took aim at Trump, saying:
”New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and as of tonight, led by an immigrant,” he said, adding: ”If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him.”
But he didn’t stop there.
Wasting no time, Mamdani called out President Donald Trump, hinting at the fierce political battles ahead. Facing a roaring crowd, he directed four sharp words straight at the former president:
”Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: turn the volume up!”
Trump’s ominous answer
President Trump, who had been outspoken about who he wanted as New York’s next mayor, was predictably not thrilled by the results—or by Mamdani’s victory speech, which undoubtedly reached him. After the election, Trump took to Truth Social to post a strikingly ominous message:
“…AND SO IT BEGINS!”
The cryptic post has sparked widespread speculation. Given Trump’s previous claims that Mamdani is a “communist” and his threats to cut federal funding to New York City if Mamdani won, many believe the financial pressure could be his first move against the new mayor.
Trump has also warned of possible arrest or deportation should Mamdani take office, leading some to interpret his Truth Social message as a hint that such drastic measures might be on the table.
Whether Trump’s ominous words are mere bluster or a preview of real political battles ahead, one thing is clear: Mamdani’s historic victory has set the stage for a showdown that could redefine New York politics — and perhaps the nation’s.
How far will Trump go, and how will Mamdani respond? Share your thoughts in the comments.

“Small-Town Charm: A Character-Filled Corner-Lot Home with Endless Potential”
Opportunity is truly knocking with this inviting two-bedroom, one-bath home, perfectly positioned on a spacious corner lot in a quiet, picturesque neighborhood. Nestled in the heart of small-town life, this home captures the essence of community, comfort, and potential. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, an investor searching for your next project, or a seasoned flipper with an eye for classic architecture, this home offers an exceptional chance to create something special.
Just a short walk from the local high school, ball fields, and community park, the location is ideal for those who value convenience, connection, and a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere. You can almost hear the sound of kids playing in the distance and the gentle hum of friendly conversation on evening strolls. This is a home that embodies the warmth of small-town living—a place where neighbors still wave from their porches and where community events bring everyone together.
Classic Character and Warmth
From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel the solid craftsmanship and personality that only a vintage home can offer. The interior is rich with original hardwood floors, solid wood trim, and built-in features that speak to an era when homes were built with care and attention to detail.
The large living room is a highlight—an open, comfortable space that invites family gatherings, movie nights, or quiet evenings spent curled up with a good book. Sunlight streams through the windows, casting a warm glow on the gleaming wood floors and highlighting the home’s natural charm.
Adjacent to the living room, the formal dining room provides the perfect setting for dinners with friends or family celebrations. Its classic layout makes it easy to imagine hosting holiday meals or Sunday brunches while enjoying the nostalgic feel of the home’s design.
Functional Updates with Room to Customize
While the home’s vintage character has been preserved, the current owners have completed several key updates that enhance its comfort, safety, and efficiency—offering a strong foundation for future improvements.
The kitchen has been refreshed with newer cabinets and countertops, blending functionality with style. Whether you plan to maintain its cozy charm or reimagine it with a modern farmhouse look, the groundwork has been laid for a comfortable, usable cooking space.
The mechanical systems have also been thoughtfully updated. The furnace and water heater have been replaced, ensuring reliable heating and hot water for years to come. The electrical system has received upgrades as well, addressing one of the most critical aspects of older homes. Some plumbing updates have been completed, adding yet another layer of reassurance for future owners.
Perhaps most importantly, the sewer line from the house to the road has been fully replaced, an expensive and vital improvement that provides lasting peace of mind. It’s a major update that new buyers will appreciate, as it eliminates one of the most common concerns in older homes.
A Corner Lot Full of Possibility
Outside, the property’s corner lot provides a sense of openness and opportunity. There’s plenty of room for a garden, play area, outdoor patio, or even a future addition or garage. Mature trees add privacy and shade, while the level terrain makes outdoor improvements both easy and cost-effective.
For those with a green thumb, this lot could easily be transformed into a charming landscape oasis—think flower beds, vegetable gardens, or a cozy fire pit for gatherings under the stars. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
Being situated on a corner also means extra yard space and natural light, as well as the sense of openness that comes from having fewer direct neighbors. It’s a rare advantage in many neighborhoods and adds to the home’s value and appeal.
Prime Location with a True Community Feel
The home’s location is one of its strongest selling points. Situated within walking distance to the high school, local ball fields, and a scenic park, it offers the perfect blend of convenience and small-town serenity. Imagine summer evenings spent watching local baseball games, taking relaxing walks through the park, or supporting high school events—all just minutes from your doorstep.
This is the kind of neighborhood where people still take pride in their homes and care about one another. It’s quiet yet connected, friendly yet peaceful—a place where you can truly slow down and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
The proximity to local amenities means you’ll never be far from what you need, whether it’s a quick trip to a corner store, a morning coffee run, or a short commute to work. It’s the ideal setting for anyone who values both comfort and community.
Solid Bones, Endless Potential
While this home already offers charm and function, it’s also a canvas waiting for your personal touch. It needs a bit of TLC, but the essential ingredients are all there: solid construction, character-rich details, and a location that can’t be beat.
For investors or flippers, this property represents a low-risk, high-reward opportunity. The most critical updates—like the sewer line, furnace, and water heater—are already completed, leaving you free to focus on aesthetic upgrades that add immediate value. A fresh coat of paint, some refinished floors, and minor cosmetic improvements could quickly transform this house into a desirable, move-in-ready home.
For owner-occupants, it’s a chance to build equity through effort. With manageable renovation costs and a strong foundation already in place, you can move in, work on updates over time, and enjoy watching your investment grow. Homes like this—well-built, full of character, and positioned in great neighborhoods—are becoming increasingly rare and valuable.
Why This Home Stands Out
Prime Corner Lot: Extra space, natural light, and flexibility for future projects.
Beautiful Original Details: Hardwood floors, trim, and built-ins give the home its timeless character.
Key Modern Updates:
Newer kitchen cabinets and countertops
Updated furnace and water heater
Improved electrical system
Some plumbing upgrades
Fully replaced sewer line from the house to the road
Ideal Location: Walking distance to the high school, park, and recreation areas.
Investment Potential: Solid structure and updates make it a great choice for renovation or resale.
It’s rare to find a home that combines historic charm, functional upgrades, and affordability—but this property delivers all three. Whether you’re looking to settle down or to flip for profit, this house checks the right boxes.
A Perfect Canvas for Your Vision
Step back in time, embrace the craftsmanship, and imagine the possibilities. You could restore the original hardwood floors to a golden shine, update the kitchen with contemporary finishes, or transform the backyard into a personal retreat. With each improvement, you’ll be building value and creating a home that reflects your taste and personality.
Unlike newer constructions that often lack individuality, this home’s character-filled architecture and thoughtful layout ensure it will always stand apart. It’s not just another property—it’s a chance to create something personal, beautiful, and enduring.
