Trump is failing because of the the peoples resistance to his policies such as HealthCare, and Tax cuts for the wealthy, as well as to the real scandal concerning his administrations perceived, though not yet proven, collusion with an adversarial power during the electoral campaign.
      uh no. It was barely growing. Unemployment numbers only looked better because those out of work had actually stopped bothering to even look for work so they were not counted. The stock market actually jumped up when Trump was elected. He was saving jobs before he even took office. He stopped companies from moving overseas.

      Here is a stock market chart of the Dow Jones IA 2014-2017. Notice it goes from a flat line from 2014 to 2016 to a sharp climb right in november '16 when Trump gets elected.

        Yeah right Sparko, Trump has really drained the swamp. You people apparently see only what you want to see. Trump is the swamp king, and he has filled it with pond scumb. Price, Menuchin, Pruit, Manafort, Gates, Popadopalas, not to mention the biggest crook of all Trump himself et al. You can't see it, because you don't want to see it, you don't want to believe it!

            Popadopalas was a volunteer who only attended ONE meeting. He had nothing to do with the Trump Administration or campaign outside attending that meeting.

              I see you've picked up on the talking point already.

                Perhaps you can use your talking points to prove otherwise.

                  Because it's nonsense on its face CP. He was picked by Trump as a foriegn policy advisor on march 21 2016. He was one of the very first brought on, along with Carter Page. To all of a sudden say "oh he was a nobody, he was just the "coffee boy", is ludicrous on its face. Here is a photo of him at a meeting of the foriegn policy team.

                    Why? Because you say so? If he was the big shot you and the liberal media are trying to make him out to be then why has almost nobody heard of him prior to this indictment? Where's your evidence that refutes the official statement from the White House?

                        I know right? I say he was at one meeting and Jim pops the pic of that meeting as evidence that he was at more than one....

                          Even an August 2017 Washington Post story describes Papadopoulos as an insignificant cog in the Trump campaign machine.

                          The story notes that even Manafort himself didn't trust the guy and rejected his proposals to set up a meeting with Russia.

                          So now that we've put this little tangent to rest, shall we get back to discussing the continued meltdown of the NFL?

                            And a lot of Obama's popularity was likely based on the fact that just about anyone would like good by comparison to the then presidential candidates -- Trump and Hillary.

                                Plus, he automatically gets nearly 100% of the black vote just because.
