If you’ve been studying Donald Trump for any period of time, you know that despite claiming to have one of the “best temperaments” of “anybody that’s ever run for the office of president,” it takes very little to set him off. Examples of things that have inspired volcanic rage in the former real estate developer include but are certainly not limited to Academy Award acceptance speeches, Snoop Dogg, Nordstrom, the Kentucky Derby, wind turbines, ads about his weight, toilets, showers, sinks, lightbulbs, and dishwashers. So the news that a new poll has the top six Democrats all beating him in a general election will almost certainly inspire the sort of outburst typically reserved for Nancy Pelosi, if not dogs and maps (his true foes).

According to the latest Quinnipiac national poll, among registered voters, Trump would lose the 2020 election to Mike Bloomberg, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Amy Klobuchar, Elizabeth Warren, and Pete Buttigieg if it were held today. For a guy who seemingly only quakes in fear at the idea of going head-to-head with Bloomberg or Biden, and who is all but begging voters to nominate the senator from Vermont, that’s not great news!

The poll also puts Trump’s favorability underwater, with just 42% of registered voters reporting a favorable opinion of him and 55% thinking he sucks (or reporting an “unfavorable” view of him). Notably, this is his best favorability rating since March 7, 2017. Anyway, stay tuned for the 12-alarm meltdown!

Trump praises China’s execution of drug dealers

The president, who is currently campaigning on his alleged support of criminal justice reform, said at the White House Monday that he’d love to tackle drug issues in the U.S. by taking a page from China’s playbook, where drug dealers are executed following a “fair but quick trial.”

“States with a very powerful death penalty on drug dealers don’t have a drug problem,” Trump said during an event with governors. “I don’t know that our country is ready for that, but if you look throughout the world, the countries with a powerful death penalty—death penalty—with a fair but quick trial, they have very little if any drug problem. That includes China.” This isn’t the first time Trump has praised an authoritarian nation for sentencing drug dealers to death. In 2017, he congratulated Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, whose “shoot to kill” policy against drug dealers had resulted in at least 7,000 people being killed for doing an “unbelievable job on the drug problem.”
