    Charles Blowhard.

    Seen enough of him and his foolishness to last a lifetime.

    The only things he has more hate for than Trump are his hate for journalistic integrity and ethics.

    Nixon's average approval rating might be high - but he finished with an abysmal approval rating of 24% in his last month once people actually knew what his presidency was and how he conducted his business. Obama's last month approval rating of 59% is actually high given the polarization of the american people. It was definitely higher that either George Bush and about the same as Clinton and Reagan.

    I have not seen any approval rating for Trump as a president by a research institution like Pew Research or Gallup - and I do not expect to see one until one month into his first term.

    Cool. Did not know they did daily tracking (not like I will check them every day or even every month).

    One of the most charismatic people I ever knew got a check every month from the guberment for being insane. Just because Trump is popular doesn't mean he's not batshit crazy.

    Obama's rating went way up once the people realized the two choices.

    The 6.75 years' worth of ratings were nowhere near so good. That's 8 minus 1st year and most of 2016.

    Without actually looking, it wouldn't surprise me if his rating sucked most of 2009, too. The economy was shit for years.

    How the fuck could anyone watch that interview (or read the transcript) and feel confident in their support of Trump? Pure fucking lunacy. :crazy:

    THE NEWS IS MAKING HIM LOOK BAD. :MARIS61:

    lol... no, he's doing a damn fine job of doing that himself. He's like his own self-edit for the media. LOL.

    They certainly started climbing in the last year of his presidency - but this is apparently normal for 2 terms presidents in their last year (This even happened to George W. in the last 6 months of his presidency despite the fact that he got us into the biggest financial problem in 80 years).

    Actually, they started taking a nose-dive during 2009 but did not really fall below 50% until the end of 2009.

    Say what you want about Obama - but he inherited the worst economy since FDR and despite the largest party approval disparity in history (until Trump I assume) - he still finished pretty strong and never went very low. I hope our new president can build his approval ratings similarly because this means he is doing a good job.

    This is kind of insensitive. He's not lying! He really believes it because his memory is going.

    Bathmophobia can be very debilitating:



    Of course, the second one is probably just because he's a lazy fat ass.
    And the first one is because he made a pussy-grab but she was too quick for him.

    Huh, apparently “malignant narcissism” is an actual clinical diagnosis.
