... his inability to implement it.

Like when so many Republicans felt the GOP's Trumpcare dangers weren't severe ENOUGH.

I read that as long as his approval stayed in the 80's and 90's with R's, he'd be okay.

Glad to see his approval tanking.

said that if Trump dipped below 80% approval with Republicans, he was in deep trouble. At 71% he's in deep doo-doo. He wouldn't carry half of the states he did in the 2016 election. How is the orange shit-weasel going to tweet his way out of this?

With Grand Juries now looking into Trumplestiltskin's many emoluments violations - not to mention his collusion and money laundering with Russia - his future looks very bleak. The one thing I fear now is Trumplestiltskin starting a war with North Korea, just to "wag the dog". He needs something drastic to turn the tide, and we all know presidents who've done this exact thing to turn public opinion in their favor. I put nothing past this empty-headed moron, because in the end, IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM, not the well being of the American people!

How many American lives is he willing to sacrifice to make himself look better? All of them, is my bet.

If it keeps raining on his parade (I mean golfing vacation) the more he'll tweet without being controlled by Kelly. The more he tweets, the lower his approval points go. I hope it rains his entire vacation. Maybe he'll have to build an arc for his family and cabinet. By the time he gets back to DC his approval ratings could be in the single digits.

And trending straight sideways

Would be interesting to know the relative differences in polling processes.

He just tweeted that his base is getting bigger (just like his hands!)!

(maybe he suffers from "Pinocchio Syndrome" - the more he lies the more his "base" and hands will grow!)
