Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

"Although Kellyanne Conway rarely says anything that could depict President Donald Trump in a negative light, the White House adviser did acknowledge that the president’s approval ratings were slipping among Republicans voters during a recent appearance on ABC’s This Week.

A Quinnipiac University poll released last week showed the president’s approval rating at just 33 percent. And while the poll still showed support among Republicans as relatively strong—some 77 percent found Trump favorable—the 17 percent of Republicans who said Trump was “unfavorable” is an 8-point increase from poll figures released in June."

The one thing President Trump has had, through thick and thin, is his base. And amid signs that it was beginning to waver, Trump assured us Monday that it was “stronger than ever.”

Then came more polls that drive home how untrue that is.

A CNN poll and an Investor's Business Daily poll, both released late Monday, show somewhat different pictures of Trump's overall approval. The CNN poll pegs it at 38 percent — around where it has been in other polling for a while — while the IBD poll shows it at a painfully low 32 percent. That's the lowest of any high-quality poll in Trump's entire presidency.

But both polls actually reinforce the idea that Trump's support among the base is in decline.

The IBD poll shows Trump's decline even more acutely, with 71 percent of Republicans approving of him. That's down from 83 percent just a month ago.

The Republicans thought it would be cute to nickname the ACA "Obamacre".

They thought that would inspire voters to want it gone.

The fact is, a major healthcare law was passed under Obama.

And it stills stands as the law.

And it is my opinion that the base tenets of the law will remain intact for years and years.

Obama will grow old and die and the nation will still have Obamacare.

There will statues and monuments of Obama.

Mount Rushmore will be updated with Obama's face.

And Trump will be lumped with Nixon.

Oh, and the Republicans may win some elections but they can't govern.

Trump certainly can't govern.

They may get something done on taxes but not reform.

I can see them getting rid of the top racket of 39.6% and making the top bracket 35%. All of the lower brackets were temporarily lowered by Bush and then Obama made those cuts permanent.

Of course that will increase the deficit but deficits don't matter.

they want to shrink the federal government. They want to drown it in the tub.

Kim Jong Un is a two bit bully and sometimes you need to stand up to a bully and punch him in the mouth. This is why we elected Trump because of his strength and willingness to do this.

He was right to threaten Kim Jong Un with a nuclear attack if KJU continues on this path. And he knows Trump will do it. Kim Jong Un and his people will experience and a furry and fire that the world has never seen before and it will be much worse than what we did to Japan. Trump has already made improvements to our nuclear arsenal so Kim Jong Un should be scared.

Its a new world order. You can't have crazies like Kim Jong Un have nuclear weapons and threaten people willy-nilly. Kim Jong Un is not stable enough to be in charge of that kind of power. Trump will not allow it.

Trump knows what he is doing, he won't have to use his nuclear weapons, because Kim Jong Un knows Trump will use them if he needs to.

I love Trump, when everyone got on his case about what he said, he responds by saying he was too easy on Kim Jong un. He will not back down. Go Trump.

MAGA!

But in order to do that, they need to pass something that shrinks the government, like a straight repeal of Obamacare would do.

Pass something that decreases federal funds to education.

Doing nothing means keeping the status quo.

And the status go is mostly bills passed by Democrats.

in some ways

but one reason for trump hollowing out the state department and not filling so many hundreds of positions is to shrink the federal government.

note that the idiot's response to Russia kicking out diplomats was thanks, because now he could save money.

trump is going to cut the fed gov't as much as he can, and then use it as a campaign prop - 'I cut the budget of the state department 20%!'

and you know what...done wisely, it's not a bad thing to do. We have way more federal government than we need or can afford.

But I have no belief that Trump is doing anything wisely.

For ex we have no ambassador to South Korea. Right now, when we could use one. And the Asian dep't at state would be useful here. But it is gutted.

So much schadenfreude watching McConnell take sh*t from Trumpy, who is the epitome of the low information (stupid) voter Mitch spent his entire career pandering (lying) to and nursing into a full-fledged monstrosity.

He paved the way for a President who doesn't understand the difference between Medicare and Medicaid, or how a bill becomes a law. All Trump knows is that McConnell said ObamaCare was tyranny, and that it should be gone. He doesn't understand that Republican opposition to ObamaCare was purely a political tactic. They were supposed to flush their opposition to the ACA down the memory hole once it become necessary, just like the eight years they spent lamenting deficits, executive overreach and "pay-to-play" (all things they forgot they supported during the Bush years). But President Stupid won't let it happen.

The more he pisses on the Senate, the less likely it is that they'll get tax "reform" done, which is already pretty pie in the sky at this point. And everyone knows Republicans aren't going vote for the spending measures required to fix our infrastructure. I'd say all of that potential losing dramatically increases the chances of war or a crackdown on the first amendment. That ego needs to be stroked one way or another.

Wow, so you honestly believe that Trump has somehow magically upgraded our nuclear arsenal since he took office???

I honestly didn't think there was a human being alive who would be stupid enough to believe that self-aggrandizing bullshit that Trump spewed forth. But then, there you are. Holy shit!

0/10 your "fake" optimism gave it away

They are not getting anything done, except for a tax bill that makes rich liberals and their tech companies richer. Hang in there conservatives, Trump will finally crank out a win, just don't expect it to actually benefit you. In the meantime, enjoy your god continuing to make an irrelevant threat real. It's a distraction that will make you love your dear leader even more, so why not!

Trump is one bright man and a true savior. At the height of the cold war Trump suggested he should be in charge of nuclear arms negotiations. He stated that within an hour and a half he could learn everything there is to know about missiles, and added that he probably already knew most of it. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40879868

No way they do anything that helps the people that got them into office.

Meanwhile, forensic experts say the DNC hack was inside job, NOT Russians! Where's the DNC server? I wonder if Debbie Wasserman Shultz ordered BleachBit and hammers to do the job.

huh? rich people got Trump into office. Rich people got all the repubs into office. Repubs are the rich party, with a wing of rednecks.

Guaranteed, Trump will do something for rich people.

And guaranteed Trump will do something for the rednecks - he will give them racial pride back. Trump will insult and stop trying to help the brown people.

And Trump will continue to heckle and needle the elites that the rednecks hate so much.

Remember the two core motivating principles of Trumpism: white nationalism and anti-elites.

Trump will do something about that all right. Already has.

Every post you make is 0/10. I've never seen a more biased poster on a thread since I've been on this site. What a sore loser you are. Boyfriend still not talking to you trolly?

Rich people got Trump into office? You are delusional on every level. Do you make this stuff up from your Mom's basement or your local library? Hillary barely won the popular vote, percentage wise, so I didn't realize that almost half the voters were rich. Yeah, huh? is right, you're demented pal.
