Trump Approval at 55%! Go Trump!

Exactly, wake me up when the number hit 80%.

 

I hear the percentage trailer park sister ****ing is also slightly higher in Mississippi as opposed to Alabama.

 

Clash?

UNLIKELY

 

If Trump keeps pouring gasoline on himself, he won't finish out the year. I've said from the beginning he's a piece of trash but I didn't foresee such a spectacular meltdown.

All it would take now is for one or two key members of the administration to leave.

Mueller should not pull the trigger any time soon and make Dump a martyr. Just let nature take its course.

 

Hopefully he will have completed his investigation in Dec 2019.

 

Besides, doofus can always pardon himself for any foreseeable crimes.

Any remedies to relieve constipation?

 

I want to see the Republican party forced to face up to the fact Trump is unfit for the position. I don't want Mueller to bail them out.

 

Well... Trump made it to the top of a presidential list:

Spoiler: Presidential List

C-SPAN had input from 91 American historians and presidential scholars. They measured every president, 43 men, on 10 criteria. Buchanan was last on seven of the 10. He was next-to-last on two criteria. He rose as high as third-to-last on just one measure. So James Buchanan has earned his place at the bottom.

But it’s probably not too soon to say that poor Mr. Buchanan will soon escape the stigma of last place.

Just a few months into his presidency, Donald J. Trump has redefined incompetence and failure.

A look at some of the 10 measures C-SPAN ranked, tells the story of how dismally Trump has performed as president.

Moral Authority: The man directed a politically partisan speech at the Boy Scouts. He encouraged police officers to abuse people they arrested. He disparaged his attorney-general for upholding the law. He won’t release his tax returns, refusing to prove to his fellow citizens that he pays his fair share, just as they do. Ranking: 44
International Relations: He is reluctant to condemn a foreign power for interfering in the presidential election. He’s walked away from a climate agreement that 157 other countries have already ratified. He’s put his son-in-law in charge of getting a peace deal in the Middle East, a son-in-law who had no particular expertise in the area, but who has now studied the problem and concluded “there may be no solution.” Ranking: 44
Relations with Congress: He has tried insulting congress, bullying congress, and ridiculing congress. But no approach has won him the prize he seeks — an end to Obamacare. The tax plan he has proposed adds trillions of dollars to the U.S. national debt. That would need 60 votes to pass in the senate, and no one sees that as possible. Ranking: 44
Administrative Skills: There is a remarkably long list of people he has fired or who have resigned in a very short period of time. Most tellingly, he has fired people he hired. Michael Flynn was his national security adviser. Reince Priebus was his chief of staff. Sean Spicer was the White House press secretary. Michael Short was the assistant press secretary. Anthony Scaramucci was the White House communications director. All gone. Ranking: 44
Vision: From the start of his campaign to become president, Trump has summarized his vision with four words: Make America Great Again. Based on what he has said and done, his America would have no Muslim immigrants. It would leave tens of millions of people without health care insurance. In his America, people would not believe credible news sources, such as CNN and the New York Times, but instead would have faith in dangerous conspiracy-spinning nutbars like Alex Jones, and lapdog sycophants at FOX News. Not great. Ranking: 44
Crisis Leadership: We haven’t yet seen this president in a genuine crisis. But it’s hard to have faith in a man who reaches for a smartphone at the smallest provocation to zap someone on Twitter. If the nuclear codes are just as handy when it really counts, our best hope may be that he can be distracted by a shiny object while a grown-up in the room takes charge. Ranking: TBD but not counting on anything above 44.
James Buchanan will soon rest more comfortably in his Pennsylvania grave. History will be condemning a president who was an even greater disaster. The rest of us? Well, we have three and a half years ahead of living with an unpredictable, unfailingly failing president of the United States.

But here’s a reason to hope. The president who followed Buchanan was Abraham Lincoln. He’s ranked as the best president ever. Maybe there’ll be a Lincoln on the ballot in 2020.

Another week, another series of horribly low polling numbers. Both Gallup and Quinniac have Trump at 35%. But the really interesting result that will piss Trump off?

August 23, 2017 - Trump Is Dividing The Country, U.S. Voters Say 2-1, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Most Trust Media More Than President

LOL... so much for the Fake News...

 

Nah, we use Louisiana or New Mexico, depending on which side of the state you're on.

 

He plays so much golf, any chance he thinks that lower numbers = winning?

 

Was willing to give this guy a chance...but damn, what a train wreck :/

 

Pollsters "Fake News"? Trump's own pollster shows Trump losing his own base...

President Trump’s own pollster just confirmed his base is cracking

What is amazing is 75% of the GOP still approve of president Trump.

 

Amazing... and horrifying.

 

The GOP is corrupt, they have lost their way, they are now the party of greed, and angry old white people.

Death spiral is coming - unless they kick out the radicals like the tea baggers....they courted bubba too long and bubba took over.

DD

 

I'd say they are the party of Grievance now more than anything. There are still many younger white guys now in the Trump coalition that are brought into the Republican party that are of the Breitbart mold that believe in the Rand Paul type of ideology. These are the people that previously called themselves libertarians and would have heavily supported guys like Ron Paul and Ralph Nader previously.

You have a collection of what is left of the oldschool GOP folks that haven't jumped ship, the Trump idiot racists, and the Libertarians. All of them are in the party for self interest, and grievance. All of them see Trump as a vessel to get their agenda. Once they all see pretty clearly that he can't get them what they want, you'll finally see his approval rating tank.

The first to go will be the old school GOP folks still hanging on for corporate & millionaire tax cuts. So this push for tax reform could be the deciding factor in whether or not Trump stays in office more than anything. I'd be willing to bet Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell have a timeline where they are pushing tax reform and hoping it coincides before a conclusion comes on Muellers investigation.

I think the Trump racists & the troll so-called libertarians will stick with him till the bitter end because they know that nobody will be able to infiltrate the presidency ever again that can do for them what Trump can unless they form a 3rd party which has never worked in the past.

Should be an interesting next 3 months for sure. We'll see what Trump does with tax cuts for the wealthy first. I think this one should get pretty big opposition as it will be even harder to cover up what the intentions are of Trumps tax plan and unlike Obamacare repeal he can't sabotage the current tax plan.

 

You might be surprised how often Mississippi is brought up as the "comparison" in the capitol. My significant other spent several years as an executive of an important legislative commission. Not saying which one, but it's often in the news. Thank god, she didn't work for the governor's office. She would have retired sooner (she lasted 35 years with the state) if she had. Anyway, when they were arguing over budget items, attempting to get senators and representatives to agree to increase funding for education or badly needed social services for the elderly and children (and those fine people in the Lege often don't listen to executive staff), Mississippi would be brought up. Texas is just above that state in several categories that come up in the budget. Just above Mississippi and below everyone else. Pretty humiliating for Texas, in my humble opinion.

Sometimes Louisiana or New Mexico would be mentioned, but never Oklahoma.
