Trump COLLAPSES in PA as HIS OWN Voters DITCH HIM!!!
Donald Trump is collapsing in. Pennsylvania. The wheels have fallen. off. Even Trump's MAGA supporters in. Pennsylvania have abandoned him. According to the latest Economist poll, Trump's approval is net negative 22. points. According to the latest Franklin. and Marshall College poll, Donald. Trump's overall approval in Pennsylvania. right now is 29%, a 10-point drop over more than 3 months.
The Franklin and Marshall poll director. notes, "It's a sizable decline since our. March poll, when his positive approval. rating was 39%." Which is still low, by. the way. The administration's positive. rating for handling foreign policy. matters, according to the latest. Franklin and Marshall College poll, declined from 42% to 29% from March to. now. Trump's largest decline comes in. his regime's handling of inflation,
falling from 31% positive in October to. 17% today. 35% of voters say the. economy, including unemployment, housing, real estate costs, and higher. gas and utility prices is the most. important problem facing the state. The. economy is the top concern of every. partisan group, and they are livid at. the Trump regime. I also think it's. notable in Pennsylvania that seven in.
10, or 72% of registered voters, favor a. state law that makes it illegal to. discriminate in employment or housing. based on a person's sexual orientation. or gender identity. So, despite the fact. that the Trump regime continues to spew. hate and divisiveness and discrimination. against the LGBTQ community, uh and continues to try to attack people. on the basis of gender. I think that. people overwhelmingly support strong.
laws that prevent that type of behavior. When Donald Trump was recently in. Pennsylvania, he gave that speech at a. trucking factory. It was in front of a. very small crowd and someone in the. crowd was basically calling him pedo. pedo protector. You remember when that. went down? Here play this clip.
And before Donald Trump spoke in. Pennsylvania, he was asked by a. reporters, "Hey, you know, you're about. to speak in front of truckers over there. and truckers that are are at a high risk. of losing their jobs. What do you say to. them because they're struggling right. now?" And Donald Trump like, "No, they're not. They're having the golden. age. Truckers in Pennsylvania are living. their best lives." No, no, they're not. I mean, you screwed them over. You. screwed over manufacturing jobs. You. screwed over people across this country. and in Pennsylvania. Play this clip.
>> Mr. President, you're about to speak to. truckers. Truckers are at high risk of. losing their jobs to AI because of the. >> Without a doubt, they're not. You can't. get a job. Right now, we have the. highest job numbers we've ever had in. the country, the history of the country. And I'm just with a couple of the great. senators and congressmen. We're talking. it's actually hard to fill the job. You. know, nobody's ever seen a time like. this. We have right now so many jobs. that are going to be available. And the. biggest problem we have is getting the. people.
>> And of course, we got the latest jobs. numbers out yesterday. Trump only added. 57,000 jobs per the latest report, far. below the 115,000. economists expected. While April and May. totals were revised down. May job totals. revised down by 43,000 jobs. April. revised down by 31,000 jobs. And if you actually look at the jobs. that have been created and lost during.
Donald Trump taking office, he's. basically lost way more jobs than he's. created except in the healthcare sector. It's the only area where jobs are being. created and that's a sector of course. that Donald Trump is attacking. I want. to bring in Pennsylvania Governor Josh. Shapiro to talk about Donald Trump's. rapid collapse as we approach the July. 4th holiday, which should be a. celebration of our nation's 250th.
Instead, Donald Trump has made it a very. divisive day. He's turned it into like a. grotesque and weird thing when we all. just want to. join and unify and not deal with this. craziness. And I'll give Governor. Shapiro a lot of credit. You know, he's. been a unifying voice in the. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Let's. bring in Governor Josh Shapiro. Now I want to bring in Governor Josh. Shapiro of Pennsylvania. Governor. Shapiro, great to have you back. I want.
to talk about America's 250 right now. because this should really be a unifying. day. This should be a celebration of. what makes this country incredible. And. I just think there are so many people. sick and tired of the divisiveness. trying to use this for personal. aggrandizement to. further divide us along partisan lines. And I think that's what's just made. people kind of really upset. And you.
know, I'm glad to see in in the great. Commonwealth the focus on kind of a. unifying principles around America 250. >> Yeah, no question. Look, I I don't think. patriotism belongs to one person or one. political party. I really think it is. about we the people and the work that. was done just a few blocks from here. I'm in Philadelphia right now 250 years. ago. And so, I think anyone who tries to. personalize it, politicize it does a. great disservice to this country and I.
think unfortunately that's what you're. seeing from the president every day. trying to make it about him attacking. people who don't think like him or look. like him or vote like him. And to me. that just erodes people's faith in in. the promise of our nation and it. politicizes a moment that should be all. about coming together Americans with all. different political beliefs all. different views, people from all. different walks of life no matter what. you look like or where you come from who. you love or who you pray to I want.
everyone here in Pennsylvania and across. the country to be arm in arm celebrating. the privilege we have to live in the. greatest country on the face of the. earth. >> You know, in that spirit I was hoping in. the lead-up to America's [clears throat]. 250 there was finally going to be a. bipartisan bill that was going to be. passed in Congress a housing. affordability bill you know, and I think. we could all rally around opportunities. to. try to make housing more affordable. I. know you take lots of efforts within the.
state to do that. You know, and then on. the day that it was supposed to be. signed and this was something we could. have all rallied around you know, Trump. doesn't show up and then later he says. it's really just a big yawn to me and. you know, I don't really I don't really. get it. I don't really care about it. You know, and I just think you know, yet. again when you take any of kind of. Trump's you know, fake promises from his. campaign to their logical conclusion I. think sadly you realize on the issue of.
affordability on the issue of the. release of the Epstein files on the. issue of no endless wars it's all a. fraud like it's all a fugazi at the end. of the day. That's that's disappointing. >> No, I mean look you have Democrats and. Republicans in Congress who actually put. aside their differences, found common. ground, worked on an issue that's. incredibly important to the people of. Pennsylvania, and that would argue all. across this country, to build more. housing, to have more access to. affordable housing, to have more people in America be able.
to afford to be able to put a roof over. their head. And Donald Trump just decided to throw a. temper tantrum at the last minute and. instead focus on his conspiracy theories. about the election, trying to. nationalize our elections and take away. um the control that states have and. counties have over running elections, instead put himself in charge. We're. certainly not going to back down to that. in Pennsylvania. Hopefully the president. will get over his latest hissy fit. He'll sign that bipartisan bill into.
law. And I think this is an example of. the Congress of the United States. finally finally. meeting their Article 1 responsibilities. to actually legislate and to be a. separate branch of government, not just. simply be an extension of the president. of the United States. I thought that. housing bill was an important step in. that process, and hopefully Congress. will do more of that. >> And you talk about the tantrum that. Donald Trump threw. And we can get into. specific policies, but you know, for me.
leadership kind of begins and ends with. character. Um keeping your word, you know, and. thinking about gener- future. generations, you know, who who look to. the presidency. It's the you know, should be the most. important position. Someone should be. careful and and and and yet again, every. day these temper tantrums and the posts. and the behavior, you know, to me. there's that aspect of it, which is. doing deep damage, you know, within the.
country, reputationally, and abroad when. they just see this behavior and go, "Who. Just who like that? Who behaves that. way? >> Yeah, you know, I I think about this. issue a lot. And and less as a governor and more as a. father. You know, I I know we're both. fathers. My kids are a little older than. yours, but my kids' entire frame of. reference about politics over the last. decade has been Donald Trump. Has been. cruelty. Has been personal attacks. Has.
been, you know, attacks on social media, attacks in in. speeches, attacks in person. I think they have seen negative behavior. reinforced by the most powerful person. in our country. And that's something as. a dad that's hard to deal with. That's. something that's hard to be able to say. to your kids, that's not behavior we'll. accept. Making fun of people with. disabilities is just one example. And. for them to be able to sort of know that. they grew up at a time where the. president of the United States, that's.
all he does is put down people with. disabilities, attack them. You know, my. wife sets a different example. She's one. of the leaders in the country on the. Special Olympics. She shows our children. that we need to treat all people with. all abilities with dignity and with. respect. Sadly, we have a president of. the United States who does the opposite. It's going to take us some real time in. this country to help the generation of. my kids and and those around that. generation to overcome the negativity.
that they really experienced for this. last decade. And if Donald Trump has his. way, this type of politics will continue. with J.D. Vance or Marco Rubio. And so, I don't think we're sort of out of the. woods yet on this. And I think it has. certainly had a negative impact on my. kids' generation, your kids' generation, and many others. >> You know, as a former attorney general, you've seen all different types of. financial schemes and artifices. And, you know, when I looked at this last.
financial report that Donald Trump. released 900 plus pages. over 80 stock trades a day and seemingly. with companies that he interacts with on. a almost you know regular basis seeing. these crypto schemes these where by the. way if you look at it Trump makes two. billion dollars the investors lose two. billion dollars and that seems to be a. consistent theme this almost zero sum. mean coin game.
>> when you actually look at the. disclosures as well. I'm just curious. you know as a law and order governor and. as a former AG you know when you see. something like that you know we're. speaking to brothers about it the sheer. numbers are so big that maybe it's hard. for some people to wrap billions here. billions there but that doesn't mean we. should somehow ignore it because it's so. overwhelming in scope. >> Yeah. Let me make two points here. I mean. first I think the administration the. Trump administration has been defined by.
chaos by cruelty and by corruption. The. latest example that is the two billion. dollars that Donald Trump has made. during his time as president whether. it's from his crypto scheme or from. Mar-a-Lago and other things in between. But I think we're missing the broader. point here if we're just focused on the. dollars he's put in his pocket. When you. have a president of the United States.
who is focused on making money for. himself that corruption leaves us all. worse off because it means he's picking. favorites not based on what benefits the. American people but what benefits him. and his children. He's picking sides in. battles that ultimately are un-American. because he's putting his own. profiteering ahead of the needs of the. American people. That's point one that. his corruption has a real cost to the. American people. Point two, though, is.
what he's doing seemingly is totally. protected because the Supreme Court of. the United States made one of its worst. decisions, really over the last century, to give this president absolute and. total immunity. And so he feels like he. can do anything. So while he sits in. that gilded Oval Office, he's not. focused on solving your problems, getting you health care, putting a roof. over your head, driving down your costs.
Instead, he's focused on trying to. figure out how he can make a buck for. him and his family. And that is at odds. with meeting the needs of the American. people. So the first thing is his corruption has. a cost to you, and the second thing is. his corruption has been enabled by this. Supreme Court who's given him absolute. and total immunity. That's why we need. real reform. That's why we need. anti-corruption laws at the federal. level. I could make an argument that we.
need a 28th Amendment to our. Constitution to bake in some stricter. guardrails to protect the American. people from a president of the United. States that lacks integrity and ethics. and honor the way this president does. I. think everything needs to be on the. table. We need real reform. >> You know, a cruel euphemism that. describes this disastrous Trump economy. as economists say it's K-shaped, which. really means that most Americans are. below the horizontal line and suffering,
and Trump's rich friends are getting. wealthy. That also is how. his meme coins and his various kind of. schemes look as well. Looks K-shaped. I. mean, he and the kind of people in his. inner circle made all the money, and. everybody loses all the money. We've. seen the latest job reports. come out. You know, anemic would be an. understatement. Um the only growth. sector seems to be health care, an area. that Donald Trump is attacking. Hospitality, shedding jobs by the tens.
of thousands, you know, every month. Manufacturing really getting hit hard. I. know you're fighting as hard as you can. in the state, but it must be kind of. going against really tough tides because. it seems that this, you know, Trump. regime keeps fighting against you and. other states that are trying to bring. business to their state. >> Yeah, and and I mean, let's focus on. health care for a minute since since you. mentioned it. Donald Trump is part of. his scheme to get rich. He promised his. friends at the very top that in it he.
would give them a huge tax cut. So, what's the first thing he does? He. passes that big bill, whatever they call. it, to give a tax cut to the people at. the very top who didn't need it. And how. did he pay for it? He paid for it on the. backs of hard-working Pennsylvanians and. their health care or their food. assistance. I mean, this is not. theoretical anymore. We've had about. 90,000 Pennsylvanians lose food. assistance. We think when all the damage.
is done, about 140,000 of our neighbors. will lose food assistance. That's SNAP. At the same time, um we're going to have. over 510,000. Pennsylvanians lose health care. We've. already had about 150,000 of them lose. their health care. And again, this is. all to pay for a tax cut for people at. the very, very top. And so, when you. want to think about health care, I've. got a president of the United States who. is working against me, who is making it.
harder for me to help the people in my. state, who believes that we should give. a tax cut to the people at the very top. and pay for it on the backs of, you. know, middle-class folks who are working. hard, who just need a little bit of. extra help to to health care for them. and for their families. That is wrong. That is immoral, and yet that is Donald. Trump, and that is the policies of his. administration. That's why I think we. got to try and put an end to this. We. have to try and have a stop or a check. on this, and that's where these midterms.
come in. I think we need a national. referendum on Donald Trump's chaos and. cruelty and corruption. Capital C. cruelty is when you take food assistance. or or health care away from people who. are in need. If people show up in every. state, in every district across America, and vote as it seems like they are. poised to do, we will have a Congress of. the United States that actually meets. its constitutional obligation to be a. check on the executive branch, and.
hopefully we can reverse some of these. cruel policies that Trump has put. forward. >> Governor, before we head out, I want to. share a sneak peek at a video that you. will be releasing on July 4th, a. unifying video about America's 250th. birthday celebration. Let's play that. clip. >> Sure. Today we find ourselves at a. moment in American history when the. foundational ideals that this nation was. founded on are under threat. The chaos,
cruelty, and corruption being injected. into our democracy every day are testing. the very guardrails established by our. founders two and a half centuries ago. But just as it was in 1776, American freedom is not the product of a. single document or the result of a. single man's actions. It is the result. of each of us doing our part, rising up, demanding more, working to perfect our.
union. Today, on the 250th anniversary. of our nation's independence, we can. take lessons from those who came before. us. >> Before we go, Governor, great video. Before we go, anything you want to say. to our 7 million subscribers heading. into the fourth? >> You know, I had the honor of standing at. Independence Hall when I filmed that. video. Independence Hall where our. Declaration of Independence was drafted. and signed, our Constitution was. debated, deliberated over, written and.
signed. A lot of words on those pieces of. parchment. But maybe the most important. words uttered. in that space was when Ben Franklin. actually left Independence Hall. And he. went out onto the cobblestone streets of. Philadelphia. And a woman walked over to. him. Think about this at the time. She. didn't even have the right to vote at. that moment. But she walked over to. Franklin and said, "Doctor Franklin, what do we have here? A monarchy or a.
republic?". Franklin looked her in the eye and said, "A republic, if you can keep it.". I think those words, "If you can keep. it," they're arguably the most important. words in our republic's history and the. history of our democracy because what it. means is that the citizens are empowered. to keep it. The citizens are called upon. to have a unique responsibility as. Americans to do this work, to try and. rein in excess and promote progress.
That is now the challenge that we all. must meet. And that challenge falls to. all Americans. And so on this. Independence Day, I hope everybody is. reminded of that unique responsibility. we have as Americans. I hope everybody. considers that as we go forward and. certainly keeps that in mind when they. go vote this November. >> Governor Josh Shapiro, thanks for. joining us. >> Great to be with you.
