ayman mohyeldin is the host of ayman here on msnbc.covering the middle east for years, and he joins me now. ayman, first, just how this message landed around the region, because, i mean, one of the things that was strange about it is he trump seemed we don't know how much he was freelancing, riffing. he seemed to think that like he was going to get some big round of applause from regional leaders, arab leaders, as if they'd all sort of agreed to this. and this is not at all what we've seen. >> i mean, chris, i love the fact that you highlighted that the saudis responded to this at 4 a.m. in the morning. i just it gives you a sense of how, you know, how just outlandish the proposal was. the fact that the saudis felt that they had to respond to this immediately before it gained any kind of steam and any kind of traction. and let's be clear right now, all eyes are on saudi arabia simply because of the fact that normalization is what everybody thinks is the holy grail of the region. it's what trump is kind of, you know, hedging his nobel p

i'm ayman mohyeldin. let's do it. when donald trump entered office again last month, a gallup poll showed him at historically low approval ratings for a president being sworn in, with only 47% of americans approving of him, similar to the 45% after his first inauguration. now, for comparison, joe biden entered office with a 57% approval rating in this same poll because contrary to what trump and maga are saying, neither he nor his policies are popular. so how did he win the white house, and why are republicans in control of the house and senate, too? well, people dislike the democrats even more. in a recent wall street journal poll showed 60% of americans view the party unfavorably. in november, democrats lost ground with nearly every demographic group, including minorities, women, low income voters and those without college degrees. it's in this political wilderness that democrats gathered this weekend and elected a new dnc chairman in ken martin. martin is the longtime leader of the state democratic party in minneso
