new Pew poll: 80% say Trump's "self-centered", 59% prejudiced, 36% honest, 32% moral/upstan

Survey Question: Is President Trump ___?
All Americans (%) Democrats (%) Republicans (%)
Self-centered 80 87 73
Prejudiced 59 79 35
Honest 36 7 71
Morally upstanding 32 6 62
Source: Pew Research Center survey



The night before Super Tuesday, Joe Biden spoke fervently about the need to restore decency and dignity to the White House. To some, these words might have sounded like standard politician-speak. But a just-released Pew Research Center survey suggests that they could play an important role in the fall, perhaps even determining the outcome of the general election.


Pew finds that only 15% of Americans like the way Donald Trump conducts himself as president, while 51% dislike his conduct, and the remaining 31% express mixed feelings. Strikingly, only 31% of Republicans could bring themselves to say that they like the behavior of the man that most of them support despite, not because of, his departure from ordinary norms of conduct.

Americans have taken their measure of President Trump’s character, and they don’t like what they see. A total of 80% regard him as “self-centered,” and 59% as prejudiced. Only 36% of Americans see him as honest and 32% as morally upstanding.

Witness how Trump never lets an opportunity to go by without pressuring the FED to lower the already artificially low rates even more lower in absurd territory. Why that is selfish? Because lower interest makes Trump construction business higher profits, by millions. Trump is looking out for himself first.

Germany, France and others in Euro-zone already have negative interest rates, and yet their economies are hardly growing. Can you think of anything more absurd than paying the bank interest on YOUR money in savings account?

32% of Americans are hardcore, hopeless idiots who endanger everyone around them. An additional four percent need their names printed on the front of their underwear for easier access.

... person calling Red Don "cruel"

1. goes further than his trolling into actions,
2. associates the supporter with a cruel person
3. has enough truth in it where the supporter can't explain their way out of it

The supporters gets very quiet or they attack you, rarely do they agree
