Trump news - live: President’s approval rating slides further, amid scaremongering about migrants and hurricane victims in wild rally speech
Donald Trump 's approval rating has fallen to 38 per cent, down six points on his July career-best according to a new ABC News/ Washington Post , as concerns over the fate of the American economy linger.
The president held his latest “Keep America Great” rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina , on Monday night, attacking the “America-hating left”, scaremongering about the release of “horrible, hardened criminals” in sanctuary cities and saying he rolled back energy efficiency standards for lightbulbs because: “I look better under incandescent light”.
On another wild evening before a crowd of his most feverish supporters, Mr Trump also made an false claim about voter fraud in California and took sole credit for the US being awarded the 2026 FIFA World Cup and joked about serving a third term in order to be in office when the tournament gets underway.
Fucking freak show.
He doesn't "look" good in any light.
That North Carolina rally was as bizarre as his others.
"North Carolina will truly recover so fast. I know you people so well. Let's not even talk about it. Let's not even talk about it."
After his Alabama gaffe, no wonder - but seriously. He doesn't even want to talk about it, and instead of talking about it while they were in danger, he was whining about being caught in his lie, and doubling down on it.
They'll say, you know, George Washington had a great election, too. The fake news, right? The fake news."
Honestly, how can anyone be this stupid?
"I was even (ready) to stand out in the rain and get my hair soaking wet, but they said it was a little bit out of your district."
It didn't rain. At all. But then, telling the truth about the weather is not Trump's strong point.
"But it's my hair. May not be great, but I will say it's better than most of my friends who are the same age. A lot better. A lot."
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.
'Smack'
Cut my hair!?
Factor in that he invited the Taliban here for a meeting close to the anniversary of 9/11, I am surprised that he has any rating at all.
"ABC/Washington Post Poll was the worst and most inaccurate poll of any taken prior to the 2016 Election. When my lawyers protested, they took a 12 point down and brought it to almost even by Election Day. It was a Fake Poll by two very bad and dangerous media outlets. Sad!".......Donald Trump Tweet
Trump is a great American President who keeps his promises and has done well with judges, religious liberty, national defense, taxes, and deregulation. So well on the economy too that we are going to re elect him. Four more years! MAGA!
And he does it with a sense of humor! Last night he said I kept more promises than I made. That really cracked me up! Pure Trumpian commentary. You have to love it!
No, you don't. The majority of Americans are embarrassed by having such a moron in the oval office. But don't worry, we will correct the anomaly very soon, no later than January 2021 when he is unceremoniously dumped on his ass in front of the SDNY courthouse. His fake tan skin color will then match his new wardrobe.
I know, for some love is hard to come by.
He has no sense of humor. Every one is laughing at him except his supporters.
Not really. I just find it hard to even like a serial adulterer who cheated on all three of his wives, a man who paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep porn stars quiet during his campaign, a man who ran half a dozen businesses into bankruptcy, who refuses to release his tax returns and show us how supposedly honest he is, who calls the 79% of Jewish Americans who vote Democrat "disloyal", who calls any media who doesn't agree with him "the enemy of the people", who has been accused of sexual assault by at least 19 different women, who called Mexicans "rapists", who refused to accept the facts about Russia's illicit help to get him elected, who said he and a vile murderous authoritarian "fell in love" and wished Americans would stand up and pay attention to him like Kim Jong Un's people are forced to do for him, who falsified weather maps just to make it seem like he wasn't a complete moron by claiming a hurricane was going to hit Alabama, who admitted on tape that he "doesn't even wait" for women's consent and thinks he can just "grab them by the pussy" because he thinks himself a "star", who disrespected gold star families, repeated racist lies about our former Presidents place of birth, who has denied the facts about climate change, disrespected our allies while kneeling to our enemies, who said if he wasn't his daughters father, he'd "probably be dating her", who has diverted billions in necessary military project funds to a boondoggle southern border wall that will not make anyone safer just to appease the bigots and xenophobes in his base, has lied over 12,000 times since taking office, and the list goes on and on and on.
That is not a man I'd ever invite over for dinner, I wouldn't even hire him to shine my shoes if he was starving on the street let alone support him as President. He is the most vile, worthless, narcissistic piece of shit President we've ever had and he is an embarrassment to America which was just what Putin intended. Putin wanted America to have their own Gorbachev who he and many of the old soviet guard viewed as an embarrassment to Russia and the reason for their losing world power status. Anyone voting for Trump is playing right into the hands of a man who thinks of himself as "Vladimir the Great" as pointed out by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Those supporting Trump are supporting the downfall of American greatness, and it truly is sad to watch so many willingly bow to Putin just to stick a thorn in the side of liberals, progressives and what they viewed as the "establishment".
No one in their right mind would love Donald Trump.
He is beyond any doubt, a crook, a narcissist, a con man, a pathological liar, a bigot and a misogynist. People are supposed to "love" this? It is absurd.
The only one who loves this moron I imagine is his family and I have to wonder about that. And his supporters.
We, the resistance, need to understand that we are in a form of "war". Trump cannot be "normalized". It means we have to keep mentioning the obvious, but that is the task we have been given. 35 % of the population is basically out to lunch at this point.
"doesn't even wait" for women's consent and thinks he can just "grab them by the pussy"
He has also said in an interview that you have to treat women like shit. At least that is one promise he has kept.
Exactly!
Putin got Trump elected because Putin did NOT want to make America great again.
Did he happen to throw out that he also lies 4,000 times a year?
I've considering getting a pool together to see how many lies he will have told by the time he leaves office
Las Vegas probably is doing just that. LV will set up betting on almost everything.
Well, he is on pace to hit 16,000 lies by the end of this term..
Trump has no comedic timing, at all. He would never even dare to be self depreciating to get a laugh. While we do not elect presidents for their sense of humor, having one is appreciated. It shows they are human just like anyone else. GWB was a horrible president, but he had a sense of humor too. Raygun? Had a sense of Humor. Clinton had a sense of humor but like trump, was terrible at his delivery. GHWB? Stuffy old school republican, not much of a sense of humor, but as a Democrat, I stand by what I have said in the past, he was a good president. Obama? Most historians have him in the top 15 best presidents in history, but he also has a gift for comedy.
Trump has no sense of humor, but that doesn't stop his idolators from pretending all his fuckups are deliberate jokes.
They have to keep pretending because the alternative is too awful to bear
They laugh so they won't get fired.
The man has great comedic timing and is funny.
Yeah I especially liked when he said Trump would never be President and did the mic drop and all the liberal sheep thought that was so cool. Do you remember that? That was great.
Was the "mic drop" really all about Trump? ABC News didn't report that.
Oh sorry, that must have been "fake news".
Was that the wrong "mic drop"?
Here's another (that isn't about Trump):
My bad it was a phone, doesn't change the facts...
Maybe if trump wants to try his hand at comedy, he could go to the correspondents dinner once a year? Oh that's right, trump can make fun of others, but his ego doesn't allow him to be made fun of. Never mind.
From this seed:
This proves that 38% of Americans are either racists or totally misguided.
Seeing as how The Independent is a blatantly progressive left leaning publication and so is the author of the article, it is really hard to give any real credence for fairness, balance, and objectivity unless the reader is a progressive leftist liberal themselves. It is also owned by a billionaire Russian oligarch in Moscow with very close ties to Vladimir Putin.
They reported that the Gallup polls most recent polling average had Trump at 39% approval with 57% disapproval. This is a drop from recent numbers as high as 46% back in April, just as they reported. You may not like their opinions or their take on what this recent drop means, but they weren't making up the facts they presented.
Be that as it may, I stopped believing in what political polls had to say quite a while ago. Sometimes they are spot on but largely they are off by a mile. Said polls regarding Hillary Clinton in the last presidential election are a prime example. Ultimate poll results are largely determined by the parties requesting the polls.
Wonder why they ignore this report - 50%, eh???
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove.
The latest figures include 35% who Strongly Approve of the job Trump is doing and 41% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -6.
So we should pay more attention to the one poll which shows him higher, than to the ten that show him lower?
lol
Of course! Those are the only polls that the 'president' and his supporters pay attention to, the ones that are favorable to the shitstain 'president'.
Except stripper poles.
But - but - but John - you LOVE polls. Couple years ago, they were part of your mainstay in discussions. You should be thrilled.
I pay more attention to the ten polls than the one.
Trump is a KNOWN liar, crook, bigot and moron. Why do you defend him and support him?
There is only one poll that counts John and that comes on election day!
An average of all the polls, including rasmussen...
44.1%... He has only been as high as 46% ONCE.
99% of elected officials in DC fall under those categories, no matter what their political party affiliation.
Hyperbolic Much?
No, just fact.
If The Donald thinks he will lose the next election he may resort to drastic measures.
