Unfortunately, I haven’t seen one iota of evidence that people who voted for Trump feel any differently now than they did then. In fact, I think his base of supporters is at least as strong now as it was during the election. They appear to like his orders and his behavior, and think he is doing a great job.

Mika and Joe are two data points. They were definitely solidly behind Candidate Trump, back before they had to deal with President Trump. I mean, voting records are secret and all, but Joe did personally advise Trump and they both fluffed the campaign all year long.

Admittedly, they may very well be the only two.

EDIT: Also, Puggo’s post right after yhwx’s is awesome–too bad the page break happened right there.

May they all live long and prosper, so they have to awkwardly explain their actions to their grandchildren someday. Especially the women wearing slutty t shirts at Trump rallies. 😉

Kang and Kodos aren’t ready to reveal themselves just yet. 😉

Actually, I’d have to look it up, but I believe his “strong approval” numbers have also declined, which would show a decrease in base support.

Around 20% (his strong approval numbers)

Eh.

Trump right now has a 39% approval rating. People with numbers that low typically don’t win — most presidents that have been re-elected have their approval rating around 50% when re-elected. People who did not vote last time might vote in do-over now that there’s a call to action.

Also that poll was conducted two months ago.

Yeah, Trump won via a perfect storm that I think he has zero chance of replicating.

I’d be much more worried about Pence.

Honestly it just made me a little depressed.

At least you felt something though, most political things this days are like celery at a party. I eat a few to pass by the awkward moments, but i barely notice it.

I don’t really feel anything anymore.

I’ve seen it on the internet, but not on television.

More than 10% of tweets fr @realDonaldTrump as president have been attacking journalists. Far fewer discussing troops, opioid crisis, Syria

It’s because he doesn’t understand or care about those things.

Jonathan Blanks, a media commentator and researcher at the Cato Institute, tweeted: “I feel safer now that we’ve denied a once in a lifetime opportunity to a group of girls whose country we’ve been bombing since their birth.”

Yeah, pretty much sums it up.

No, that’s not him. I don’t think he knows how to upload videos on to Twitter.

Unless you’re talking about the original context that video was taken from, in which case, yes, that is him.
