What would it take for Trump to lose his base?
A shocking stabbing in Times Square quickly became another reason for national media and conservative commentators to portray New York City as a dangerous liberal hellscape. But do the statistics support that story?TJ Walker compares New York’s crime numbers with Shreveport, Louisiana, and explains why one dramatic video can outweigh millions of ordinary, uneventful experiences in the public imagination. Fame is not frequency—and a frightening thumbnail is not the same thing as reliable data.Also in this episode:J.D. Vance calls Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed “very, very evil,” despite Vance’s own history of describing Donald Trump as “cultural heroin,” “reprehensible,” and potentially “America’s Hitler.”A new UMass Amherst poll puts Trump’s approval rating at 32 percent, raising the question: what would Trump actually have to do to lose his most loyal supporters?The conviction connected to Tupac Shakur’s murder becomes a lesson in why publicly discussing your alleged role in a crime may be a poor personal-branding strategy.And some Gen Z men are reportedly abandoning showers, shampoo, and deodorant because they believe their natural scent attracts women. TJ offers them one simple affirmation: meet a bar of soap.Subscribe to Filtered with TJ Walker for political commentary, media criticism, current events, satire, and personal-development lessons without the usual partisan filter.#FilteredWithTJWalker #TJWalker #DonaldTrump #JDVance #NewYorkCity #TimesSquare #CrimeStatistics #MediaBias #PoliticalSatire #TupacShakur #GenZ #CurrentEventsFiltered with TJ Walker, TJ Walker, Donald Trump, JD Vance, New York City crime, Times Square stabbing, NYC crime statistics, Shreveport crime rate, Mike Johnson, Abdul El-Sayed, Trump approval rating, UMass Amherst poll, Trump supporters, political satire, political commentary, media bias, conservative media, crime perception, availability bias, Tupac Shakur, Tupac murder case, Gen Z trends, pheromone maxing, bare room maxing, current events, US politics, news commentary
