80% approval among republicans LOL pathetic. I'm wondering how many braincells I'd have to destroy to get to that cult mindset

listen to the mad man
It would be hard to get to 20%, because that basically means 0% Democrats and independents and ~50% Republicans supporting him -- and you would imagine that such a catastrophic collapse in public confidence would lead to congress taking measures to stop him.

Wait so overturning positive things put in place by Obama is your idea of a good thing? Ok yep people who voted for Trump are ignorant.
guns. god. racism. those are the only things that matter to a lot of people, apparently.

Is there a place I can read about attempts to strengthen immigration vetting? I know about the ban, which has nothing to do with vetting, and I know he's said he plans to strengthen vetting. Other than the H1B site visit I haven't seen anything that actually seems to change how we vet people.
So you're a climate change denying racist? Nothing in that list is good unless you're exceptionally stupid and bigoted.

I think he has identity issues. In what way does he resemble a modern democrat?

Maybe he is a financial professional who charges a commission for helping his clients invest for retirement but doesnt want to give a shit about their best interests when he can get a much larger commission by fucking them over with a risky investment?
Or perhaps he wants to get even more targeted ads from his ISP?

Its also such a hypocritical set of things by reversing heel on climate change to let companies do what they want while also destroying TPP
There's no guiding set of principles besides fuck Obama
I don't think his handlers would let him off leash long enough to actually get anything done.
I'm certain that if asked in detail about any of the executive orders that he's signed he would be unable to tell you the specifics about what they actually mean. The guys is just a suit stuffed with one liners and word salads. I don't think there's actually any coherence or overall strategy to anything he personally does.
Well, if you didn't like Obama and didn't think many of the things he was doing were actually good things, then overturning Obama's policies would be considered a win by Trump supporters, no?

So a bunch of sickening regressive bullshit? Neat.
Well... our Republican governor in '07 hit a low of 6%, so while unlikely, I could see it hitting 20% for Trump if something awful enough were proven.
Gorsuch hasn't been confirmed yet, and his attempts to strengthen any element of the immigration process have resulted in nothing but failure.
I'll go through your provided list, but I think I'm realistic in thinking there won't be many actual successes included there either. It's still too early to tell of course, but at his current rate Trump might just end up being the most useless president in American history.
Mr. Blonde you still haven't come back to defend your post in this thread

Maybe if he was doing things like stopping the use of drone strikes but he is just removing protections for various groups of people, the Internet, the environment and so on.
Yes, if you like hurting people and think your enviroment isn't filthy enough, these could be seen as good things. Maybe some miss the days when our river were polluted enough to catch on fire.
It is a generous mix of both.

He continues to piss off liberals. That was the main reason he got elected and he's still doing a great job of it!
I'm not arguing in favor of the list, I'm just arguing from the perspective of someone who might see that list as a list of accomplishments if they did not like Barack Obama or his policies. "Stopping the use of drone strikes" is what a liberal would like to see of a post-Obama president dismantling an Obama policy.

I think that was covered in the last part of my statement. If you think allowing ISPs to spy on you, financial advisers being able to have folks invest in risky investments at the brokers benefit, reversing emission standards I guess in the guise of bringing coal jobs back that will never come back as they were lost well in advance of regulats, and opening up a new oil pipeline rather than investing in green energy (I mean Gina now is the largest green collar country) are good things then you are truly ignorant and would think this orange piece of shit is great.
I ironically listen to a terrible far-right online radio show where the idiot host takes callers, often people that troll him. The host is unsurprisingly a deeeep Trump supporter, screaming at trolls not to "besmirch the good name of Donald Trump".
A recent call played a clip of Trump saying "I'll have no time for golf" followed by the Fleetwood Mac song "Little Lies". The host screamed that Trump has done more than any other president ever.
... What has he done? What does the far-right see as "an accomplishment" because everything I see is that Trump has been failing more and more.
We're approaching April 29th, and so far none of his major promises have been fulfilled. We'll see if the approval ratings still hold.

Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election.
A government shutdown would do wonders for driving down his approval rating, and seems completely possible at the moment.

When you know the shit you're peddling is completely false and fabricated, you end up being extremely defensive because you have no other choice but to live in that alternate reality.
That is pretty clear. The point is that that is a flawed perspective, stemming from ignorance and propaganda. Their opinion is wrong, fundamentally and morally.
Fuck all of that "well saying that is what pushes them away, and makes them think of you as an elitist!" Call a spade a spade, they're fucking wrong.

In the ISIS thread, ISIS called the president ignorant. Someone posted a photo of Trump golfing and the line of "in the first 30 days we will destroy ISIS" and we are far out of 30 days. So basically outside of signing EOs to wipe out Obama's legacy, he has done jack shit AND for most folks made their lives worse (like the folks in Texas who will lose their property for the wall).

I think Nixon hit 50% among Republicans right before he resigned.
That's what it will take.

Yeah its nice to have his approval rating drop, but guess what, he's still fucking President. Where was the nation's lack of approval in Novemeber?
No rubles in defending.
When the repercussions of his policies and actions (or lack thereof) start affecting the working class, and they will be affected, I would expect to see his approval among republicans to drop more.
In a normal reality, that is. Who can say, I suppose.
I think you're right, you made a good argument.
It'd never hit the low, because Trump would be out of office either by impeachment or resignation before that.
If you think government is bad and the free market is better at handling itself, and that that ultimately produces better results for the public, then any policy that removes government influence from the private sector -- whether it's data privacy rules for ISPs or CO2 emission standards for auto companies -- would look like a win in your eyes. Particularly if said government influence stemmed from Barack HUSSEIN Obama.
I agree that those are all bad things with serious long-term consequences for everybody. But again, I'm not making the argument that these are good things in the first place.
