Trump now at 37% approve/55% disapprove. On July 16, was at 40%/54%. Voters are gradually moving away from Trump. But elites continue to accommodate and acquiesce to him. So his authoritarian project marches ahead. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

I imagine he is. But, the numbers he claims to have made a deal for require the EU to purchase something like 4x the total current annual energy export. Starting next year. And it’s not like there’s a ton of excess LNG laying around as I understand. So it’s all very….aspirational.

Also - it seems like he’s asking the EU to by several X more than the US has available to export. So… higher energy prices for Americans as their LNG gets arbitraged out of the country by speculators making a buck on the European markets?
