Just facts, you think for yourself
Will Trump’s direct involvement in Ukraine peace talks succeed?
- 66% Yes, he could make a deal
- 34% No, the conflict is too complex
| Comments | |
|---|---|
| gary... | Trump has been compromised for 25+ years! He’s already taken out the two main protections for Ukraine! Entrance into NATO and getting back sovereign lands! This makes Putin the winner, he only has to wait to get the rest! Trump is a Russian operative as are so many others in his administration that he hardly matters anymore! Russia knows all our secrets and controls our politics! |
| troy... | Most of those that answered 'No' would answer 'Yes' if asked if Trump should get involved in peace talks. 'He should but he will fail'. |
| ebr.... | Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine is defending themselves against war-hungry Putin. Russia should go home then there wouldn’t be any fighting. They started this. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 |
| revl... | Trump is ridiculous and a loser |
| aime... | He will do what is best for Putin, not respect the people of Ukraine. They may have a deal without the people of Ukraine having a voice. |
| kath... | He will capitulate to Putin |
| cmic... | But he will throw Ukraine under the bus. |
| laur... | That's what Trump is known for to make deals!! |
| jeff... | No this is one of the dumbest ideas on the planet. Trump wants another Yalta agreement which launched the cold war and The toppling of near western regimes in Czechoslovakia, Hungary etc. Hegseth well educated but hardly strategic will do putins bidding. They kid themselves if they think the Chinese vassal state of Russia isn't in it for the long run. |
| brod... | Resolution of this conflict through negotiation will require an independent arbiter. Trump is anything but that, completely in the pocket of Vladimir Putin. |
| hcam... | Trump is only going to make the situation worse. - that 6 time bankruptcy loser should stay out of international conflicts. |
| mart... | The US cannot dictate Ukraine's future, including its connection to the EU, or its claims on sovereign territory currently held illegally. Ukraine needs some special US gear -- Patriot missiles, in particular. Europe knows that it must step up, expand its MIB and support Ukraine. I believe that it will. |
| miss... | Why wouldn’t the world want Trump to succeed or at least try to bring peace to Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Gaza or any other place of conflict on the globe? |
| bxfd... | Sad the previous administration nor the EU made any meaningful effort to negotiate peace. Millions of people died and a country destroyed. Shameful! |
| dfra... | Sounds like communications have been opened up by Trump in talking with both leaders. That’s half the battle. We will see where it goes but seems promising |
| amuk... | President Trump - is the first one to offer to sit accross the table and talk. The people earlier were all about sanctions and no talking! That is so childish. He is good for America. Glad to see action in the White House SK |
| atli... | NATO expansion eastward has always been Russia's principle concern. If Trump stops it the war is over. |
| grah... | I'm saying "no," because I think "succeed" is too ambiguous a word. What is success? Yes, with Trump on the side of Russia, there will likely be a deal. What can Ukraine do? But to accept current Russian advances is not success - nor is it success to oppose NATO membership and strong arm their mineral rights away. What Trump's direct involvement succeeds in doing is adding a bully to the West to the bully the Ukraine already faces from its east. |
| holm... | Of course he can because unlike Biden, he is neither senile nor incompetent. |
| jpcd... | If Trump’s position is for Ukraine to give up part of their own land should not happen Putin should not be allowed to come in and steel territory. He’ll just do it again to some other country. We have to stand up to him. It is the right thing to do. |
| exmx... | It’s all about money. |
| pvol... | Neither Russia nor Ukraine want this conflict to continue. The toll on both countries is too great. Trump wants this to end and give him a large political win. There will have to be compromise by both countries, although i don't expect this will be a long term peace effort. |
| clee... | Go |
| rgar... | Trump should be heralded for his desire and attempt to end this devastation of people and countries. He will be successful and the US will recoup some return on the wastful spending the US has invested. More importantly Trumps resolve will SAVE LIVES. |
| cmar... | He'll make a deal all right...and will give the better part of Ukraine to the Russians. |
| cb10... | The deal that trump wants to make is to give away land to the predator Putin, who started this unnecessary mess. Ukraine should not have to give up any land to russia. This is starting a bad precedent around the world with trump being the first to follow. |
| pegg... | It depends on what you mean by “succeed” |
| gbtk... | MAGA are delusional. |
| ajam... | About time that someone had the sense to actually sit at the table. Ukraine is a destroyed country and the war has devastated its population. |
| dubr... | Some how some way he just gets things done! |
| cica... | Once again, both your headline and your poll question at the end of it are misleading and misinformation. These are not peace, talks. This is too powerful nations, bullying a less powerful nation and to accepting terms that are completely unfavorable to them. |
| roci... | It is difficult for Ukraine to give up territories that were taken from them in a war that they did not start. Of course the cost of human lives hurts. |
| caro... | He will give Ukraine a “deal they can’t refuse” |
| kath... | hope it works for everyone's sake |
Which best describes your current financial situation?
- 53% Stable—I can manage, but prices are noticeable
- 24% Comfortable—I’m not significantly affected
- 22% Struggling—costs are outpacing income

|---|---|
| amuk... | I think inflation will go up for a bit. No magic wand can bring things under control instantly. But give Pres Trump time and things will change for the better. |
| rgar... | It took 4 years to get us to this point. It will take more than 3 weeks to recover. At least we have a leader who is focussed on doing so. |
| wpem... | Insurance cost, property, taxes, state, taxes, and federal taxes are out of control, making it hard to keep up |
| drol... | There is nothing stable at all in the Trump administration years. Everybody's got their head up their ass and not paying attention because they're too afraid to face the truth |
| arth... | I am blessed to have sufficient retirement income and no debt. However, I’m extremely sympathetic to others, especially families who struggle with children and who have to work several jobs to make ends meet. |
| rhia... | Although I can “afford” the essentials, being “stable” shouldn’t only be defined by affording essentials. It should also be defined by the ability to comfortably save a reasonable portion of a salary. |
| patr... | Inflation will only continue to rise if tariffs are implemented. |
| andr... | The impact to me is more related to asset prices. Although interesting you don't mention truflation with is a more more accurate and up to date metric vs CPII. It is down which bodes well for March. |
| pman... | We don’t buy stupid shit- most American buy junk they don’t need. I don’t feel sorry for anyone who is buying package junk and eating horribly - you need a mindset that is about sustainability and health . We in this country over spend- and are spoiled - if you are below the poverty line that is a different story- but the people complaining at Costco or Sam’s about gas and eggs and whatever else are true hypocrites |
| tubi... | any financial gains have been lost. trump should threaten to form a committee to see if industries are raising prices for ethical reasons. though not illegal and people will pay what they will pay, many industries receive tax breaks or subsidies, while reporting obscene profits. these tax breaks and subsidies can be culled as well. |
| revl... | Trump is making everything worse and is a loser |
| laur... | I'm by myself, so the grocery bill isn't that much. I mainly cook instead of eating prepared meals. |
| cica... | I thought food prices were gonna come down on day one? And when is Mexico gonna pay for the wall? |
| edwi... | P |
| kfhe... | Retired fixed income seniors are getting a beating! It’s been steady inflation ever since Covid pandemic and includes home and car insurance at horrific increases. Our grocery bills have doubled as well. |
| dnjb... | Senior citizen living on retirement and social security is getting more difficult |
Which type of car do you prefer for yourself?
- 39% Japanese
- 34% German
- 27% American
- 1% Chinese

|---|---|
| jima... | Most reliable vehicles by a wide margin in my opinion |
| sck1... | Swedish brand, but made in America: Volvo |
| rgar... | Americans should but American made products. |
| mden... | Actually love my Land Rover |
| atli... | If $11,000 Chinese electric cars were available in the US, it would offer hope for reversing impending climate disaster. |
| mari... | A Mercedes fan and too have a Rivian to support EV and the US. |
| ebr.... | If reliability, safety and longevity matters to you, then Toyota, Subaru and Honda are the way to go. |
| genr... | Toyota has been a consistently well built, reliable vehicle for us. |
| boba... | the 4 circle automobile - Audi |
| jim8... | Would like to know more about Chinese electric cars. But the US ain’t having it. Monopoly. |
| over... | Tesla!!! |
| patr... | Lexus and Toyota are quality built with low rates of repair. |
| dnjb... | America needs to make the same quality cars as foreign cars |
| cica... | Another misleading poll question. My Toyota while conceived an engineered in Japan is mostly assembled here in American plants. Those plants may not be part of the UAW, but they still employ Americans. |
Do you support Trump’s reciprocal tariff policy?
- 54% No, it could hurt US businesses and consumers
- 46% Yes, it’s fair to match other countries’ tariffs
| Comments | |
|---|---|
| tubi... | long overdue. |
| drol... | Trump 's. Quote" policies are a joke. Please somebody listen to global capitalism by Richard d. Wolfe, a professor of economics |
| amuk... | For the short term it can help but it can eventually hurt to have trade wars with our business partners. BUT Pres Trump is on it and he knows how to handle business. |
| ebr.... | Why are 45’s goals to punish US consumers? Trump is a confused old man and scam artist. Why is the majority of this country out to harm their fellow Americans? Disgraceful. |
| perm... | Why should the US pay more in tariffs than the other country being traded with? Tariffs should be more balanced and fair between the US and the countries we are trading g with. |
| patr... | Tariffs with our nearest neighbors and closest allies make no sense when cooperative arrangements can be made. They are a tax on American consumers. |
| dare... | Butt |
| mche... | Tariffs are almost always retaliatory and hurt rather than everyone within a country. Someone will benefit, but it won’t be the average person. |
| zack... | Concerning that 52% support the U.S. getting taken advantage of. Trade should be equal, if not then bring those jobs back to the United States! |
| re13... | Absolutely! It's going to cause hardship initially but will encourage domestic production, especially for steel. Stay strong! |
| came... | He is a moron that has no idea what he’s doing |
| rzip... | The reality is President Trump doesn't get along with others. He's used to bullying and out-litigating people that complain about his tactics. Since he's not interested in working with Congress, tariffs are something he can do without involving others. Tariffs will surely spark retaliatory tariffs and U.S. importers and U.S. consumers will suffer the brunt of the tariffs impacts. They will result in little U.S. revenue in the grand scheme. |
| cica... | Tariffs aren’t gonna bring factory jobs back. Their attacks you pay when you go to purchase something. They’re simply gonna raise costs for the average American. |
| kenh... | Tariffs if approached judiciously could work fine but the shotgun approach will likely lead to chaos and rapid inflation |
| revl... | Trump fails to understand basic economics and is a loser |
Does the idea of "ghost particles" constantly passing through your body fascinate or unsettle you?
- 86% Fascinate—it's incredible!
- 14% Unsettle—feels a bit eerie
| Comments | |
|---|---|
| davi... | Maybe we can convince the micro-plastics in our bodies to attach to the ghost particles passing through.... |
| dfra... | We are all connected to this greater universe. |
Do you think the high frequency of meteoroid impacts makes Mars a bad candidate for colonization?
- 72% Yes, too dangerous for long-term settlements
- 28% No, we can find ways to protect habitats
| Comments | |
|---|---|
| miss... | Space travel is always dangerous. That is not a reason not to attempt settlements if there are those willing to take the risks. If you believe it to be dangerous, don’t go. Keep your yapper shut about those who are braver. |
| tmco... | Mars is not a planet that can sustain life. Elon Musk's desire to colonize Mars is utterly idiotic. The guy has a comic book mentality. |
| tom3... | The lack of an atmosphere is a major issue. |
