Want to Make Trump Even More Popular? Keep Attacking Him
Trump Derangement Syndrome has become a full-fledged disease, now an epidemic in liberal enclaves along the east and west coasts. Perhaps the medical establishment could create an ICD-10 code, adding to the growing number of currently recognized diseases.
There is already an ICD-10 code for "delirium due to known physiological condition." How about creating a subset for the condition of "delirium due to President Donald Trump," both a physiological and political condition? This disease affects liberals and pseudo-conservative NeverTrumps, is known to cause florid insanity, and is best treated by avoiding exposure to network and cable news or else moving to Kansas.
Like poison ivy or a peanut allergy, avoidance is better than treatment. One doesn't pick a fight with poison ivy expecting to win. Yet that is what Trump-haters continue to do with Trump, using any and all means necessary, including fabrication and sensationalism. None of these tactics seems to be working – any more than eating more peanuts will cure your peanut allergy.
The latest poison ivy patch that Trump-haters ventured into is a porn actress named Stormy Daniels. "Poison Ivy" might be a suitable name, too, and equally as titillating for someone in her chosen profession. Accusations, all unsubstantiated, of a decade-old one-night stand with citizen Donald Trump are expected to lead to impeachment and resignation.
No, Stormy Daniels was not a White House intern playing "hide the cigar" in the Oval Office with the sitting president. She made no accusations of rape or harassment. She wasn't discovered after James Carville dragged a hundred-dollar bill through a trailer park. Yet she was given a full hour on "60 Minutes" to tell her story. This is the same story she previously denied, multiple times.
Similar to the "Access Hollywood" tapes, this interview's sole purpose was to damage or better yet destroy the president of the United States. The Billy Bush conversation also took place many years before Trump ran for president, during his days as a TV reality star. The audio tape was leaked shortly before the election, after sitting in NBC's possession for a decade, then miraculously found just a few weeks before the election. Fancy that: an October surprise, aided and abetted by a major news network. And without the assistance of Dan Rather.
The Stormy interview was much the same. The difference is that there is no upcoming election in a few weeks. One can speculate as to the timing of this interview. Perhaps it is being timed to blunt other storms on the horizon – the OIG report, thousands of sealed indictments, or the noose tightening on Andrew McCabe and his lawbreaking, perhaps even treasonous pals in the FBI and DOJ.
So how is this all working out for the left? Has President Trump resigned yet? Is he hiding in a White House closet sucking his thumb? Not quite, despite what you might hear on CNN.
What if we look at some recent opinion polls to get a sense of what real people think of President Trump – not the liberal Beltway media establishment or the increasingly irrelevant NeverTrump coalition? Bloomberg reluctantly provided the answer last week.
President Donald Trump's popularity may be on the rise, even as he faces accusations of extramarital affairs, mounting legal challenges and never-ending turmoil among his White House staff.
Imagine that! Trump is becoming more popular just as the media ramps up its onslaught. Whatever they throw at him only makes him more popular, from porn stars to special counsels, from Russian collusion to personnel changes in the White House. The narrative is that Trump is a rube, a buffoon, a carnival barker with no idea what he is doing, and no interest in anything other than watching "Fox and Friends" while eating Big Macs.
Bloomberg throws a lifeline to the left by adding, "Trump's best numbers he's had in over a year would still mark some of the worst numbers that any president has had in the last decade." The reporter neglects to mention that Trump has had the worst media treatment of any president in recent time, with over 90 percent negative coverage. No wonder his poll numbers are low, with the constant drumbeat of negativity from the media.
So how can the nonstop stories about affairs and chaos not be having the desired effect? Doesn't middle America share the same disdain for Trump that illuminates the D.C. establishment and cable news shows? Apparently not, as the ratings for the new and improved Roseanne television show are higher than Anderson Cooper's hour-long sit-down with the porn queen.
I suspect that this is how Trump-supporters are pushing back against the negativity and hatred toward the guy they chose for president – not marching and protesting in pink hats, not organizing boycotts of any journalist who dares question their motives or beliefs, but instead using polls to push back, watching one of few TV shows not promoting a far-left agenda, not making fun of conservatives or Trump-supporters. Anything to stick it to the pompous press.
The net result is the same, from "Access Hollywood" to Stormy Daniels. Trump supporters say, "Beat on our guy, and we like him even more." It's a show of solidarity and a thumb in the eye of big media and the D.C. establishment.
Persecute Trump, and he rises even stronger than before – confounding the left and creating an interesting comparison during Easter season. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/04/want_to_make_trump_even_more_popular_keep_attacking_him.html

Want To Make Trump Even More Popular? Keep Attacking Him
Even more popular? lol. You do know how to make us laugh. The statement assumes he is popular now, which is a forlorn hope.
I don't think the real answer to that will be known until the results of the next Presidential election are determined. You never know what can happen between now and then. However, wishful thinking has always been permitted.
Given the last 18 months of polling about Trump and his administration, and given that Democrats have improved their position from 2016 in almost every single special election held since then, it is safe to assume that Trump is not popular.
Is that "proof" that the Republicans will lose Congress? No, that is not clear yet.
But Trump is quite unpopular. Substantially over half of Americans oppose him. Any other conclusion at this time is dishonest, period.
still going to go with that "polling"?
Well I will tend to go with historical trends , and historically speaking , at least in my lifetime , the party that holds the presidency has always historically lost seats in congress, sometimes even lost control of one or both houses of congress,
it is one of the unwritten "checks and balances" that are still afforded to the people, if they feel their government or particular administrations are not living up to what is thought they should be , or if said administration takes steps the people disagree with.
I made a prediction before the last Presidential election , I am just waiting to see if it comes true, The US has not had a string of one term presidents in a while of 3, 4 or 5 one termers, it just might be we are seeing the beginning of a stretch of one termers.
The voters are becoming very aware that the Democrats and liberals are against everything that is good for the majority of the American people, while they appear to be for hate, negativity, and resistance to Trump and all things GOP. They offer nothing new or worthwhile. Their leaders have not changed...they're still touting Hillary, Pelosi, Schumer, et al.
Actually there will be a strong indication much sooner than that. The presidential elections aren't until 2020-- but there are Congressional elections this year:
The 2018 United States elections will mostly be held on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. These midterm elections will take place in the middle of Republican President Donald Trump 's term. All 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives and 34 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate will be contested. 39 state and territorial governorships and numerous other state and local elections will also be contested.

Will the fact that Trump is leader of the Republican Party hurt or help Republican candidates overall in those elections? Well, the Fat Lady hasn't even finished putting on her makeup!
Past Performance Is No Guarantee of Future Results!
Link?
He truly is in another world of his own making.
And this is even funnier.. .much funnier!
Well, we shall see. After years of bitching about Hillary, it did have an impact. Sustained attacks did work. Time to flip it back to Trump and GOP. I'm in.
Attacking Trump may make him more popular, with 35% of the people. Unfortunately for him you don't get extra points for the additional fervor of your lemmings.
His supporters will merely entrench themselves and nothing, not even proof of him committing a felony will sway them. There are other people out there who voted for him, but they're not die hard trump supporters and for some, the polish has been removed and they see him for what he really is. It's like they've finally woken up but they have one hell of a hangover.
You might as well link directly to your Shitbag's filthy mouth, HA.
Yea, they said, "Romney in a landslide!!!" too. How did that work out?
Rasmussen is...wrong... Sorry.
Trump is at 41.8%. Which is the average of ALL the polls, even your cherry picked one.
But hey, if you want to cherry pick....
.
-23
35%... Sad.
In a Nazi's wet dream...
Have you ever considered the fact that maybe it wasn't that but rather the Electoral College system . . . ?
(Because that was what stopped the candidate with the most votes from actually becoming elected).
No need for any American to attack Mr. Trump, he does a splendid job of it all by himself.
amen!
Daily basis
Is pointing out that our Emperor is naked really an "attack"? It's not an "attack" to report the facts about numerous campaign staff indicted or pleading guilty to crimes, playing the tape of the Presidents own reprehensible words, pointing out he cheated on all three of his wives, slept with porn stars then paid over a hundred thousand dollars to keep them quiet, his unhinged twitter rants, his verbal attacks on our allies, his vocal support for authoritarian regimes around the world, and that's all before we get to the likely obstruction of justice he basically admitted to on national television in an effort to stop an investigation into possible coordination and collusion with an enemy foreign government to help him win the election. Are we just supposed to look the other way at his gross nudity just because Republicans keep telling us he's not naked but wearing the finest of partisan silk? Unless you're willfully looking the other way you can't help but notice the grotesque figure now rubbing his filth all over our oval office.
Trump Derangement Syndrome has become a full-fledged disease, now an epidemic in liberal enclaves
Well, OK...
But I suppose there is a bit of good news here as well-. Fortunately, Hillary Derangement Syndrome has not reached the status of a full-fledged disease yet, nor is it epidemic in conservative enclaves!
In fact , one could say that a thing such as Hillary Derangement Syndrome doesn't even exist! In Fact- - it doesn't even exist at all!
And don't even get me started on the subject of how "Obama Derangement Syndrome" never existed either-- in fact, it was a mere Fig Newton of our imaginations!
