    You guys need to branch out and post on other forums. Clutchfans disapproves of trump.

    https://www.politico.com/news/2020/...prove-of-trumps-coronavirus-management-138570

    A majority of Americans now approve of President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new survey, as the administration has issued stricter federal guidelines in recent days and the president has adopted a more public-facing role in combating the disease.

    An ABC News/Ipsos poll released Friday reports that 55 percent of respondents approve of Trump’s management of the public health crisis, while 43 percent disapprove. The latest figures represent a boost in the president’s rating from the previous iteration of the survey, published one week ago, which showed only 43 percent approval for Trump and 54 percent disapproval.

    Remember how Bush was up to 90 percent approval after Sept 11? This is Trump's high water mark. This is the rally round the flag. His normal 40% approval. When the fatalities go to 1000, 10000, worse, and GDP contracts by 10%, and unemployment is at 15 or 16, this will be a distant memory. We're about to smash every single record in terms of economic collapse. In a month.

    Enjoy it. His presidency ended about 2 weeks ago.

    That poll’s an outlier, Astrodome. I checked at RealClearPolitics.com and their summery of polling data on trump’s approval rating and he’s underwater, 44.3% approve and 52% disapprove. That’s averaging several polls, I believe. It looks more realistic to me.
    That’s a grim view. Are you talking about what’s coming down the pike with the virus? I’m pretty pessimistic myself. Like you, I’m hoping I’m wrong. You’re certainly right about me wasting my time with my response that you quoted. He’s in his own strange little world. Nothing people like me say to him is going to make an impression. It hasn’t yet.

    The average joe wouldn't know better.

    It's like the travel ban, while it seems like a good move on the surface, the fact that there are big holes in it makes it useless ( e.g. doesn't restrict citizens and people can contract by interacting on a plane or at an airport even if they haven't visited a hot spot, and, it is pointless once the infection is in the community).

    Most things Trump has done has not done much to limit the hell that is likely to come. US is at 20k underestimated infected and we will soon be in the hundreds of thousands with proportionate deaths following.

    It will be more telling in 6 months how well he has handled things

    Perhaps approve of the govt response. But Trump? The orange God said it would disappear just weeks ago and it was under control. He doesn’t have one single f*cking idea what he even saying half the time. Yeah he’s doing absolutely great.

    Yes different perspectives I agree. One knows what he is taking about and a true leader and the other is not. Guess who is who.

    3 minutes in and I still thought this was a comedy skit. Then I topped laughing and cried a little, deep down inside, because there is people who would actually believe what he is saying.

    Yes they are capitalizing on the virus itself (even though they did not create it). It will backfire. This is a national security risk. After this pandemic most of the Vital drugs and medical equipment will be made in North America instead of China. Just watch.

    After everything we've seen from him, especially in the last month+, how can you still be carrying water for this guy?

    Chinese cultural practices directly led to the creation of this virus. The last 4 global pandemics originated in China. Of course they would be better prepared for something they directly create.
