Trump has the worst approval rating of any president in 72 years

[ffr]

A new poll from ABC News/Washington Post shows Trump with an average approval rating of 38 percent during his first two years in office. That is 23 points lower than the average approval for the 12 presidents before him, 61 percent, going back to 1945 — when the first approval polls for U.S. presidents were conducted.

Trump has never had the support of a majority or even a plurality of voters.

His approval has never risen above 50 percent, while his disapproval has remained at 50 percent or higher for the bulk of his presidency. - Shareblue

1. You know what this tells me?

It tells me that our election system is crap! It tells me there is out of control gerrymandering, voter suppression, and rigged machines. It tells me that we need an immediate overhaul of the system.

Remember when there were a few people in the electoral college who said they would vote against their states' results? I think one or two actually did, and they were fined. What the hell is the point of having an antiquated system if the first time it is ever put the a real test it fails miserably?

7. Oh, you caught that!

8. Yes, when I read 72 years, I wondered who people thought was worse.

Then read more and found out nobody was worse than Trump.

9. Of course he does. He lost the popular vote by 4 million votes.

He got into office with the help of our foreign adversary. He has no legitimacy. And, in the words of his Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, he is a "terrible human being."
