Americans disapprove of the president's handling of all policy areas they were asked about, except border security.

Because they are totally okay with a US Gestapo brutalizing brown people. Stay classy, US citizenry.

Imagine being wrong on every issue. How could that happen? The only explanation is that it is intentional

This will have no effect on the course his admin is running.

This might not matter anymore, unfortunately, because there might be no meaningful future elections (at best - fake ones where Trump always turns out winning). He will just keep ruling and then define that everything's always great with his rule, no matter how it is in reality. To have him win this past election was a historic mistake that will be extremely costly. Of course, no king rules forever, but the damage during his rule as a criminal king will be massive (not only caused by him alone of course, but enabled and accelerated by him).

That's quite true when you think about it. The GOP could have stopped this, but instead they have enabled it. I supposed it's also on the Democrats, but I think GOP is more to blame as it is the part of the current administration. In short, fuck the GOP.

Yep the Democrats failing is not enough for them to take the blame, they shouldn't have had to singlehandedly protect America from a top-down attack. Because they're a political party, not a branch of government, and they're weak at that.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

Yeah but stock market is back at highest levels again and the rich got to buy stocks at lowest prices just a month ago.

Mission accomplished. Just not sure now if he intends to crash the markets again... Probably not, but its Trump...
