Despite Popularity Ratings In The 1 out of 3 Area, Trump Gives His Presidency A Grade Of A +
Trump used to voice a desire to bring Americans together. At least he has given up his grip on that particular personal delusion.

President Trump's approval rating dropped just below 40 percent in a recently released poll.
The Quinnipiac University Poll showed Trump's approval rating at 39 percent with a disapproval rating of 54 percent. Seven percent of respondents said they didn't know.
The approval ratings were divided sharply along party lines. Eighty-four percent of Republicans approve of Trump compared to only 5 percent of Democrats.
Trump's approval rating among independents was 34 percent.
The president's highest approval rating was among white men - 56 percent - and lowest with African Americans of both sexes - 14 percent.
The president's most recent approval rating was down 2 percent from the Quinnipiac poll conducted April 10.
The poll, conducted April 20-24, included 1,193 voters with a margin of error of 3.4 percent.
"A plus"
Despite the poll numbers, the president is giving himself higher marks.
During a Thursday interview with "Fox & Friends," Trump was asked what grade he would give his presidency.
"I would give myself an A plus," he said. ""Nobody has done what I've been able to do," he said. "And I did it despite the fact that I have a phony cloud over my head that doesn't exist," referencing the ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Trump's approval rating among independents was 34 percent.
Fox News viewers love him though.
Not a true statement JR, and besides, this is not an election day. His approval rating is irrelevant, and I am confident he will finish both his terms as president.
It's important to Trump that he be seen as popular, which is why he has so many campaign style rallies when his re-election campaign is two years away.
The weird part though is he doesn't say, "I'll try to do better", he says "I give myself an A+"
Keep in mind the narcissist loves to be hated and hates to be loved. They thrive on attention doesn’t matter if it’s positive or negative. People like yourself that keep him the topic of conversation are what he feeds on.
Everyday we wake up to you crying about people who criticize the president*.
He's doing just fine in spite of all the opposition and lies and mud slinging...it's making him stronger. Just being against Trump will not win the prize for the dumb Democrats. They have to offer something better and they seem incapable of doing that. The left's "revolt" is not working and time for them is running out.
It would seem the people of Alabama, Virginia, Pennsylvania and, Wisconsin disagree.
And everyday we wake up to you crying .
lol. At least you kept your nonsense to one very brief sentence.
So the truth is nonsense to you. I knew it.
The president gives intelligent folk more to criticize about him on a daily basis.
If does a second term, I just might build me a bomb/survival shelter in my back yard because the country will have officially gone insane.
John your'e right, he shouldn't really be grading himself. Allow me....Donald J Trump...I give you an A++ for reversing the far left policies of Barak Obama, getting tax reform/tax cut legislation passed, appointing Judges who respect the Constitution and perform their duties under it, defeating ISIS, confronting North Korea and Iran, fighting the deeply entrenched deep state and withstanding the daily assault of the biased and unethical msm. Well Done Sir.
Looking forward to the next recession I see.
so where do you and John get your criticism from?
His approval rating is more than twice as high as congress not bad for a rookie.
Yep, twice as high as the REPUBLICAN controlled Congress so, the approval rating for Congress right now is at 16%, that would mean, if we double it, Trumps is at 32% and, you're bragging about that? Did you know that at the same time in Obama's presidency Obama had a rating of 46% approval?
One thing to remember about that period of time, it might help you see what's coming in November, the Democrats lost the House to the Republicans at that time. You might say "SO?" but, here's the thing, there are more seats up on the Republican side this time around and, the Democrats don't need that many to take over Congress, Trump being as unpopular as he is right now isn't a good thing for guys like you.
When Obama had a 46% approval rating, there was a republican tsunami in the midterms. What do you think will happen with Trump having an approval rating in the 30s on election day. Every election so far has shown a 12 to 18% swing toward democrats. That would translate to a massive tsunami in November........143 congressmen, every republican in the senate, and 1825 state republican legislators are within that range......Not saying they are all going to lose....they won't.....but....the only thing that is in question is the height of the tsunami.
Doc, I agree with you, it is the posters on the Right who seem to think the sun sets in the North and, insist that nothing is going to happen and, and, and, Hillary. I don't believe that even losing the House and, Senate in November will change their minds about it, they are too stuck on the idea that Trump is the second coming of the far right wing of the GOP.
Actually, I think they've given up on the house. They are becoming fearful in the senate which would have been unthinkable even a year ago. The greatest fear, I believe, is what they fear is going to happen at the state level. The tsunami is going to ground them down to the base. State legislatures and senates are going to flip. Governorships are going to flip. That is going to have huge impact on the 2020 redistrictings. If you pair that with the recent court cases going against the republicans on gerrymandering, they are in a world of trouble this November.
Totally agree. Plus, Republicans in both Senate and House are either resigning, retiring, or choosing to jump ship at a very large rate. They see the handwriting on the wall and understand that their integrity and personal reputation is worth more than their loyalty to someone who demands theirs, but, offers none in return. And there may well be more of them doing that before the mid-terms.
I can see a lot of that happening but, I have a few differences here. I don't see major shifts in states, I see some shifts but, mostly in states that aren't traditionally red like West Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi. Where the changes will be are states like Indiana, North Carolina, Virginia, maybe Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan.
I agree that it won't be across the board. I would add Pennsylvania to that list and wouldn't be surprised to see some significant inroads in Texas. Georgia is another state that is going to become purple much quicker than most people are thinking. It has a large Black population, a large group of northerners moving into areas like Atlanta and Savannah, and one of the fastest growing Hispanic populations in the country. However we look at it, it will be an interesting November.
On this we can both agree, I look forward to this November, I see many things changing. I just hope that the Congress gets enough of a change to have veto proof power.
F minus infinity
I bet you were a math teacher in a former life.
Trump was asked what grade he would give his presidency.
"I would give myself an A plus," he said.
.................................................................
I'd say trump is slipping, not long ago a A+ would not have been good enough for him. His own rating would have had to be at least an "A PLUS PLUS !!!"
Trump thinks he is a good businessman, what else would you expect?
If anything is predictable it is Trump giving himself an A+.
I was actually surprised it wasn't an A++
I think he also gave himself an awesome star but did not mention that so as to not seem pretentious.
Was that awesome star at least gold plated?
Why not solid gold?
Because gold-plate has always had this cheap feel to me.
Well duh, his ego would never allow him to say anything remotely negative. Trump is such a friggin jackass.
Trumps favorite song......about himself.
Have you heard the latest? Now some geniuses are claiming Trump deserves the Nobel Pease Prize because North Korea is talking with South Korea about denuclearization. So let me get this straight - Trump threatens to nuke North Korea, inflames Palestine with his Jerusalem bullshit, tries to start a trade war with China, bans Muslims from the US, routinely insults the entire country of Mexico, but because his knee jerk reaction to Kim Jung Un asking for a meeting with him is like that of a homely girl accepting a prom date, he deserves a Nobel?
I would like for someone to explain to me exactly how trumpy gets credit for the unification of the Korean Peninsula?
What did Obama do to get the Nobel Prize?
I would have to google that because I don't remember.
For the record, I thought that was a joke too - but no where near as insane as Trump deserving one. Not even close.
There is nothing to remember. He did not deserve nor did he earn the award.
Yeah, it might have been a little early for them to give it to him but, this is what it was for,
I'd say some credit goes to trump, evidently Kim Jong-un has done his homework and decided president trump has too much power and is too unpredictable to take a chance with to do anything else at this time.
So you agree that he did not earn nor did he deserve the prize when it was awarded to him .Giving the prize to Obama did nothing but cheapen and denigrate the award.
your not the only person who thinks that...
Not what I said or, meant and, I think you know that. At the time it seemed like he was getting somewhere with the talks in the Middle East but, as it turned out there was a new terrorist group that saw things differently, ISIS. Our government, that means Obama, could negotiate with the legitimate governments of the Middle East but, they aren't the only players over there and, dealing with terrorists is something the U.S. has never done, they are the ones who can cross borders and, attack in a guerrilla fashion which makes it hard to deal with them either diplomatically or, militarily and, we have to deal with the different country's governments in the process, we have to get permission from them to attack terrorists hiding in their country's otherwise we risk starting a war with the country for attacking their citizens.
The reason I said I thought it was too early was because we had not ended the war in Iraq or, Afghanistan yet and, the Middle East was still a powder keg, as it is today and, Trumps bluster isn't going to change that. The legitimate governments over in the Middle East understand our strength but, the terrorists don't see it, simply because they know that they can send a lone actor into a country and, have that actor perform an act of terrorism there and, they think that is a victory against the country attacked. As long as they can think that it is a victory they will continue to fight in that manner. We are able to attack a hard target or, a soft one, what we can't do is fight some lone actor bent on killing a bunch of people on a train, plane or, busy street in a city.
I still don't see where Trump had much to do with North and, South Korea meeting, it seems to me the South Koreans decided to intercede between Trump and, Kim to keep them from blowing up the peninsula, Kim and, South Korea have been talking behind the scenes for months, maybe even years and, people want to give Trump the credit? Really?
So far the only thing Trump has done regarding NK is belittle their leader and make public allusions to nuking their country. How peaceful.
Trump Gives His Presidency A Grade Of A +
Must have scored this one on quite the curve.
I think that he is talking about his golf game one of his own golf courses where he never loses (or at least not to hear him tell it). But, golf.... is the only balls he has.
