There are a few simple signs indicating that President Donald Trump’s “dam is breaking”: Protests, Polling, and Pushback.
That’s according to The New Abnormal guest host Jesse Cannon, who, when reflecting on Trump’s recent record-low polling during a discussion with co-host Danielle Moodie in the latest episode, argued that small wins like the lowest 100-day approval rating in 70 years are “super important” because they chip away at the “Achilles heel.”
“I think that the dam is breaking,” Cannon said. “The pushback and protests against all of this do have some wins. And I think if we keep doing the wins—we do weaken this.”
“I have a lot of skepticisms about how it’s gonna work,” he continued. “But I do think that harm reduction is important and I do think that weakening them, even if it just chips away at the skin of the Achilles heel, is super important.”
