https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2020/06/02/less-than-a-third-of-americans-approve-of-trumps-handling-of-protests/#64c7caf7564c32%! That's his base. Fat Donny is going to have to change tactics or he'll sink further.
Biggest takeaway from this poll though IMO is:
When asked are you more or less likely to vote for President Trump or Joe Biden as a result of George Floyds death and subsequent protests, 45% said they are more likely to vote for Biden, with 31% more likely to vote for Trump.
Basically, his base is 32%, that's it, those are the fools that won't abandon him after he went full dictator and burned the Constitution.

Trump grumped and acted a goddamn fool the whole time, first hiding silently, then blustering and gassing people for a photo-op. Who could support this nonsense? This isn't close to leadership even by most Red Hatters definition of it. It's been an internationally humiliating and despicable display.

Forbes is quite conservative.

Because the trampling of the US Constitution applies to their rights as well.
What did Trump say in 2016 after winning the then Nevada Caususes? "I LOVE the poorly edudated!"
I rest my case, your honor.

But he wasn't that good. He's just a wannabe.
