George Bush view of Trump

But will they come when you do call for them? Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1, Act III:

One of the most curious storylines in Season One of The President Trump Show is that so many Washington Republicans, inside and outside Congress, are still on board, publicly at least, with a president they clearly denigrate and despise.
There’s a good reason for this—and it’s not that they are gutless wonders, though some undoubtedly are. Trump still has one crucial final task before he can be thrown to the wolves: He must sign a tax reform bill. After that, the wolves can have their quarry.
Think stopping a president allegedly hurtling us toward World War III might just be a little more important than passing another round of tax cuts? Well, then you don’t understand the Republican Party, or at least what’s left of it. Today’s GOP is a soulless, brainless beast, a zombie from the Reagan years, when it had its last fresh idea. Since then, the party faithful have defined their priorities around whatever their current leader, interest groups and sympathetic news outlets say they are.
Once signed into law, the Republican tax cut plan will give billions of dollars back to nearly every member and supporter of the GOP establishment. To D.C. Republicans, that’s well worth enduring a crazy tweet every now and again, or mouthing support for a wall that will never be built, or nodding agreement about a trade war that will never come to pass, or even standing witness to scary games of one-upmanship with crazy dictators. That’s why every corporate special interest in Washington, every lobbyist and nearly every consultant is holding their fire, and their breath, in the era of Trump. They want to get their piece of the tax cut pie, and getting in fights with the president would only be a harmful distraction.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

Trump’s approval rating in the US is just 38% on day 261 in office. No US president has been as unpopular at this stage of the presidency. Gallup.
And internationally “U.S. Image Suffers as Publics around World Question Trump’s Leadership.”

You need to be more skeptical. Not only has recent history proven that polls can't be trusted, but I don't think any US president in history has faced such a concerted effort from the media and other liberals to drag his approval ratings down. If you look past the polls and talking heads, you'll see that Trump is actually doing a pretty damn good job, all things considered. I don't like everything about him, but he's certainly not the disaster that Obama was, or that Hillary would have beenSome may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God
