TrumpCare less popular than more than a dozen major bills spanning nearly three decades. MAGA! Sad.

House Republicans’ bill to repeal and replace Obamacare is less popular than more than a dozen major bills spanning nearly three decades, according to analysis from Massachusetts Institute of Technology political science professor Chris Warshaw.

Using historical data from the Roper Center’s polling archives, Warshaw found that the American Health Care Act’s average approval numbers lagged significantly behind polling on everything from Bill Clinton’s failed 1993 attempt at health care reform to the 2008 bank bailout.

“It’s rare for Congress to move ahead with legislation when the signs are this clear that the public doesn’t want it,” Axios’ David Nather and Lazaro Gamio noted.

Recent polling on the GOP’s health care plans have reported feelings ranging from tepid to dismal. The most positive surveys, from Morning Consult and Politico, show favorable opinion of the proposals hovering near 40 percent, with most other polling putting it well below 30 percent. By contrast, average support for Obamacare currently stands at 46 percent and never fell below about 38 percent.

Hannity praises Trump for his "fashion statement" (only leader not wearing G20 pin in group photo)

*****NOTE: I'M NOT PROVIDING A LINK BECAUSE, WELL...HANNITY.*****

*****ALSO, THE PHOTOS HAD LINKS THAT DIDN'T DISPLAY PROPERLY HERE...SORRY ABOUT THAT. IT'S BASICALLY A GROUP OF EVERYONE EXCEPT TRUMP WEARING THE G20 PIN.*****

Melania and Ivanka Trump may be known for their fashion sense and style, but it was President Trump himself whose wardrobe turned heads during the G20 summit of world leaders in Hamburg, Germany.

President Trump made a remarkable fashion choice while attending the meeting; making good on his campaign promise and presidential motto to always put “America first.”

In case you missed it, the President is one of the only world leaders present not wearing the G20 summit pin, instead sporting the American flag on his lapel.

The fashion choice is no accident. President Trump has repeatedly stated that he was elected to be the leader of America -not the entire world- and has routinely warned America of entangling itself in foreign wars and unfair trade deals.

Wtf. He essentially surrendered to a foreign power that attacked the US. He did not defend the nation. How's that "presidential"?

"The Polish first lady shook hands with Trump moments later."

The Polish first lady shook hands with Trump moments later. However, the photographs taken at the moment had a different story to tell. The angle in which the photographs were clicked, portrayed she did not shake hands with the president at all. Later, the Polish president took to Twitter to comment on the issue citing one of Trump’s favorite phrases: “Let’s fight Fake News.”
