Trump’s Job Approval – First Quarter 14%

by

Donald Trump’s first-quarter job approval rating is 41%

Gallup, “Donald Trump averaged 41% job approval during his first quarter as president, 14 percentage points lower than any other president in Gallup’s polling history. Bill Clinton had the previous low mark of 55%. The average first-quarter rating among post-World War II presidents elected to their first term is 61%, with John Kennedy’s 74% the highest.”[1]

Hitler and Trump

Hugo Schwyzer, “…Perhaps Trump will be a better leader than we thought. The burden is entirely on him to prove that his campaign was an act, and that he and his followers pose no threat to women and minorities. Until then, suspicion. Until then, fear. Until then, anger. …”  Read the Full Post at Times of Israel

Finally on November 22, 2016, Trump says, “I don’t want to energize the group, and I disavow the group” in an interview with the New York Times.  Not a peep, though, from Trump’s Twitter account which seems his main source of disseminating news.

Think Progress points a finger at CNN for inaccurately broadening the meaning of “disavow”.  Trumps carefully worded response to the New York Times interview said nothing about denouncing racism.  CNN completely misreported the quote by showing a full screen graphic saying that Trump did just that.

Words DO matter when the media is trying to report the facts.

The Shame of a President Trump

Even at the rally of Trump’s acceptance speech, his supporters still chanted “lock her up”. Trump made no attempt to silent such vulgar changes.

Ted Cruz’s Opinion of Donald Trump

by Leave a Comment

Ted Cruz, “Donald Trump deceived thousands of hard-working men and women looking to make a better life for themselves.  In exchange for their support, he promised them they would win.  Instead, Trump misled them and left them in debt.  Donald Trump has a long history of defrauding others to make himself richer.”

Twitter was, well, all a twitter about the odd looking Trump/Pence logo released this week after The Donald selected Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana as his running mate. Two Republicans chose another route to commemorate the not so blessed event with a new phrase, “TrumpUpPence”. Please share.
