The Trump Presidency, Part II
Quote:
Approval rating will be such that his party will not run him. It is rare, but will happen. They may even run Pence to look like they support Trump ideas but not the blabbering idiot part. |

She didn't do well against Russell Brand. In fairness he did troll her a bit but she was reduced to blushing and stammering. If you are "bleeding badly" from a cosmetic procedure, and your looks are a key asset, you're not likely to be seeking out social encounters. You shouldn't be bleeding badly to begin with. It appears that every single "fact" in his tweet is wrong and I have yet to read the last batch. I wish he'd get slapped with a few slander/libel lawsuits. He lies purposely and maliciously with flagrant disregard for the truth. Conventional wisdom is not to dignify such remarks with a legal response, but I think it's good to keep Trump feeling harried. The more he lashes out the better we know him. |

You're absolutely right : a feature of his Presidency has been his nostalgia for the campaign. Now he's got the toy he's bored by it. |

Hahahaha, in that area you just gotta love the leader of the free world for stating the obvious - dumb as a rock is dumb as a rock and the enemy is the enemy. |

Here are three snippets from the above quote:

For example, Trump played NO role in the health care process, yet GOPers not only think he did but approve of his "actions". I don't watch TV - has Fox lauded his role? Is it really possible that 97% of enthusiastic Trump voters are divorced from reality? Only 3% see through him? Really? Is it at all possible to explain these stunning figures? |

http://www.gallup.com/poll/203198/pr...ald-trump.aspx That's enough to get him re-nominated and the GOP "machine" will take care of the rest unless the Democratic Party can find a candidate to really excite people. The two successful Democratic candidates since 1980 have both been charismatic individuals. The unsuccessful candidates have either never been particularly engaging or have had their natural "bounce" beaten out of them by 40 years in the public eye. |

Unless you're tainted by fraud (Ford) then you stand a pretty good chance of being re-elected if you choose to stand. Trump has already announced that he will run in 2020 so unless we have a Carter/Reagan; Bush/Clinton situation where the other side puts up a much more charismatic candidate then I see every chance of Trump being selected as the GOP candidate (as the link above shows, Gallup have Trump's approval at 85% and rising among the GOP) and if that's the case, unless the Democratic Party put up an exceptional candidate then there's every chance he will be re-elected. The reason for this is because Trump is exactly the kind of President that a large minority of the U.S. electorate want, not reluctantly accept because he's the candidate, but actively want. |
Certainly, no one has put forth that President Trump is especially articulate.
Already mentioned, but seriously... "Trump’s remarks began with the president’s usual boasting: “We’re going to lead again like we never led before.” But he then appeared to claim all of space for the U.S., calling it the “next great American frontier.” Trump also referred to space “providing the security that we need to protect the American people.” And he sent Aldrin’s eyebrows shooting up when he added, inexplicably, “At some point in the future, we’re going to look back and say, ‘How did we do it without space?’” “We know what this is, space. That’s all it has to say: space,” Trump said as he prepared to sign his executive order. He then turned to Aldrin and asked, “There’s a lot of room out there, right?” “To infinity, and beyond,” Aldrin quipped as others laughed. But Trump apparently didn’t get the reference to Buzz Lightyear’s catchphrase in “Toy Story.” “This is infinity here. It could be infinity,” Trump answered in a rambling response. “We don’t really don’t know. But it could be. It has to be something — but it could be infinity, right?”" Wow.

I'm also mildly disappointed that his approval rating among independents seems to have stabilized. I'd hoped it would keep falling. Still very low, though.

As a data point, I'm still a registered Republcan and have found Trump repulsive from the get go.

I thought that a lot of the effects would hit some time down the road, and that people would be able to get cheaper, nearly worthless insurance, which would seem like a good buy until they need it. |
