“Whatever Donald Trump is doing in office, in the minds of Latinos it is not working. They have turned against him in massive, massive numbers,” said CNN data chief Harry Enten on Monday.
Enten pointed out that Trump was nearly tied with 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris with Latinos on immigration, where the former vice president enjoyed a 2 percentage-point advantage over Trump in October 2024.
Now, Trump has a -38 net approval rating with Latinos on immigration.
Don’t underestimate how much machismo and acting like a tough guy matters to men in Latino cultures. That’s all the men saw and that’s all that mattered to them.
It’s so weird that the super-soft (10 ply even) Manhattanite who has never worked a real job in his entire life is perceived as a “tough guy”.
Seriously, but a lot of machismo shit is definitely more about acting and appearing tough than actually being tough
