Trump gives himself an 'A+' due to 'the level of love' at his rallies

Source: The Hill

President Trump said he would award himself an “A+” job approval rating because he said the “level of love” at his rallies is “just a beautiful thing to watch.”

The president boasted about his job performance while sitting with Bloomberg reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday.

ABC News noted that Trump’s average approval rating since he entered the White House is the lowest of any modern president since the 1940s.

Despite his confidence, Trump has reportedly been discussing the possibility of impeachment proceedings with his legal team.

Just more bluster from this egotistical prick.

If anything, Trump has emboldened me to say what is on my mind. Never have I had so much disrespect for the man who occupies the White House.. His scorched earth policies are taking this country down and Congressional Republicans are too happy to comply.

Time to change Congress. VOTE in November people!

for this next election and elections to come. This ugly stain on America was enabled by the repuKKKe party of spineless traitors. Selling out to Russia didn't interest them in the slightest. Not ONE...besides maybe McCain and a few other who are running for the door, challenged any of his actions, or stand up for the USA.

Repeat this theme OVER and OVER and OVER again: "...scorched earth policies are taking this country down and Congressional Republicans ..have been... too happy to comply." I want to hear that as a major theme in all of these races. The repuKKKes have been enablers, and abandoned their country and their duty....every fucking one of them, right down to Murkowski, Collins...and all the rest.

Here's a rare clue for you - your rallie are not all Americans!! They are the KKK, Nazis, white nationalists and totally ignorant slices of society. When random polling was done yesterday, you have over 60% disapproval! Over 50% want you impeached! 64% think Muellers investigation is necessary and needs to continue. We HATE you and everything you stand for and when we win the House, you will never get anything approved, we will block you and investigate and harass you unmercifully and you are going down!!!

..." you will never get anything approved, we will block you and investigate and harass you unmercifully...", but I don't have a lot of faith in the Demorats either. Once we regain control of this 4 yr old monster, the media and half the Democrats will be talking about "compromise", "co-operation", "working across party lines", and all that other bull shit that the repuKKKes have abandoned 30 years ago.

We can do all those things to a very small degree, ONLY when it furthers the Democratic agenda....and not otherwise. This is a tactic of the reich wingers. Just wait and see.

I hosted an evening talk show. I remember having incredibly busy phone lines (I think I had 8 lines total) and they were always busy. Man I must be GREAT! I'm killing it in the ratings. Then the ratings book came out. My ratings sucked. Why?

Well a tiny sample size, like my phone lines at the radio station, mean nothing. It would take maybe 50 people per night to make my lines busy. But out of 500,000 in our market how many were really listening?

It is the same BS with Trump. There are 350 million people in the United States. Getting 8,000 fired up assholes into an arena isn't a real sample size.

...and my strong impression was his rallies are losing their punch...."BIGLY" (such asinine vocabulary by this adult todler).

I think he's a novelty "to be seen", but even his crowd knows his days are numbered, and it has been a huge mistake from the beginning. Listening to the two clarabelles interview idiots as they were lined up and waiting to get inside was evidence enough that they know this is a farce...HE is a farce...and his whole schtick is a sad joke. His rally lacked any life, and it was the same old snarly bawling by a castrated swine.

to be even associated w/ rump (that they've voted for him) and don't go into a fervent state defending him near as much...

I think of it as a stinking pile of garbage that's been sitting in the alley too long...turns more and more people away...

Lying piece of shit who's got a gutter mouth...the way he's been, he will get his reward numerous times in life afterwards when he truly realizes how much he is reviled and hated by the American people. Perhaps if he has something so heinous in his past, he needs to unload it and get it off his chest and do the proper thing, resign.
