I can't remember a president with such a consistent approval rating as Trump's. from r/dataisbeautiful
Unfortunately, it's consistently low. That just isn't usual.
I think the reason is that he does everything he can to be unlikable. He makes Crooked Hillary and Lyin Ted look like oracles. He makes Imperial Bush and Obama look like Gandhi. I can't imagine any other president touting a policy of family separations. Literally can't imagine it. Even Roosevelt with his internment camp abomination kept families together.
And if we have a recession, you will literally see his base abandon him and the Red party will too. He has a chance only because of the darn good economy, and of course the intensity of his base's loyalty. Both could change in a hurry.
LOL. Not even sure where to begin with this mess. How does someone get so misinformed? I think the thing that makes James so ignorant is he refuses to grasp just how one sided the Democrat media establishment is and how successful they are in shaping public opinion with propaganda.

So....the "intensity of his base's loyalty", could change in a hurry? Given what it's been thru for 4 years now.

Yup. JW simply doesn't get exposed to anything other than the non stop agitprop he is around at work.
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.
