    Nobody believes any of those poll numbers, btw.

    The whole idea is just ad-populum anyway.

      Nah. Trump's is more narcissism. Spoiled brats think they have power. Narcissists KNOW they have it.




      Trump's policy is to return the US to its position of leadership of the free world after Obama neutered it.




      No. True leadership means the buck stops with you. Leaders listen to their team, but ultimately make the final call. They are the influencers, not the influenced. Trump is exactly those things, unlike Obama, the community organizer. It's going to take some tough choices to fix what Obama broke, and the rest of the world may not like it, but... tough.



      Because they got used to Obama's "We are family" nonsense. Obama neutered the US on a global scale, and other countries enjoyed their day in the sun. But now that the grown-ups are back in charge, the kids need to sit down and shut up.
      Trump is a grown-up?

      The man is completely devoid of any intelligence or foresight at all, and has the impulse control skills of an eight year old.

        He seems pretty smart to me. He distracts the hysterical mass with memes and effortlessly pushes forward his agenda right or wrong.

          Seems to me that the major parts of his agenda have become stalled.

            Building the wall, repealing Obamacare are stalled for sure. But Gorsuch, getting out of trans-pac, his travel ban, rolling back Obama's gun control ... etc.

            He is way more effective than I ever thought a political outsider could be.

              If by that you mean that it's been 6 months and he's basically done nothing, then yeah. Despite Republicans controlling all branches of government, they've yet to pass anything resembling any sort of major piece of legislation. Trumpcare will be the first, if they manage to convince their senators to vote for a bill that kicks 20+ million Americans off health insurance and gives a deficit-wrecking massive retroactive tax-cut to the rich.

                I read somewhere that 15 million Americans will die instantly if there are any changes to obamacare.

                    Will their fuel costs/ mileage be covered for their trip to the cliffs under the new plan?

                      No, but since those are a business expense they can use them as a tax write-off.

                            The Republicans don't have control of the Senate. Thanks to the filibuster, 60 people are functionally required for actual control rather than a simple majority, which they don't have.

                                Nonsense! An online petition calling for Trump’s UK visit to be downgraded was signed by nearly two million people and the visit was delayed/cancelled amid fears of mass protests.

                                Trump’s isolationism and indecisiveness is doing the exact opposite. He has reversed his position on a number of issues including the role of NATO and labelling China as a currency manipulator. He’s proving an unreliable ally.

                                Nah. Trump's is more narcissism. Spoiled brats think they have power. Narcissists KNOW they have it.
                                The power of the US lies in its wealth, power that Trump is squandering.

                                Trump's policy is to return the US to its position of leadership of the free world after Obama neutered it.
                                Trump is actively withdrawing from the Free world. His "America First" seems to be "America Alone".

                                No. True leadership means the buck stops with you. Leaders listen to their team, but ultimately make the final call. They are the influencers, not the influenced. Trump is exactly those things, unlike Obama, the community organizer. It's going to take some tough choices to fix what Obama broke, and the rest of the world may not like it, but... tough.
                                Trump notoriously does not listen to his team and frequently undercuts their public statements via twitter etc. Nor does he attend daily security briefings and publicly denigrates his Intel team. As for fixing what Obama supposedly "broke", how's he going with Obamacare?

                                Because they got used to Obama's "We are family" nonsense. Obama neutered the US on a global scale, and other countries enjoyed their day in the sun. But now that the grown-ups are back in charge, the kids need to sit down and shut up.
                                Trump's a "grown up"?

                                Angela Merkel??? Donald J. Trump is the leader of the free world. Merkel is a nice lady and is pretty much the leader of the EU, but to say she is the leader of the free world is hilarious. I'm sure Europe thinks that, but it simply ain't so. When the world needs intervention, they come to the US.
                                Historically speaking, but those days have gone. Trump’s not someone to be relied upon.

                                How is it "unique"? Truman fell as low as 22% in Feb 1952, Nixon was at 24% twice, and Carter was at 28% in June of 1979.
                                Trump has the lowest ratings for any first-term president at this point in his tenure.
