America Blames Itself

A new Gallup poll reveals a historic warning sign for the United States: roughly one-third of Americans now say politics and government are the biggest problem facing the country — a level of distrust not seen outside of Watergate and the first Trump era. In this video, I break down the data, track how rare this moment is historically, examine the Trump effect and partisan polarization driving democratic collapse, and explain what it all means as America approaches its 250th anniversary. Using verified Gallup and Pew Research data, this analysis shows why these numbers reflect a direct threat to American democracy itself.
