Honestly...Don't Know If 45 Is Even Going To Make It Past The First 100

[Me.]

Poll numbers are beginning to stink, nobody likes him or his family and he doesn't seem to be a happy camper. Considering his temperament I won't be surprised if he bails.

[Drahthaardogs]

1. It's chaos every day.

We cannot go on like this for four years

[Orrex]

2. I figure he'll that he'll dissolve into a viscous orange slurry before long

[ProfessorGAC]

60. A Slurry Requires Substance, Orrex

He will be a pool of clear orange, THIN, liquid.

[Orrex]

69. That was a great answer

[Frogg]

3. Health reasons...flare up of accute bone spurs!

[Me.]

5. Something, Anything

This is day 21...day 100 would signal 5x what we have just gone through. It just doesn't feel like it can hold up and maybe some sort of delegation will pay him a visit.

[fierywoman]

13. good one!

[GP6971]

4. He doesn't like to lose

so if it keeps at this pace I say he's out at 6 months.

[Me.]

7. I Used To Say By June 2018

But now I can't see him holding on that long

[GP6971]

15. Let's hope he doesn't make

2 years. If he doesn't, then we would only be stuck with Pence for another possible 4 year term.

[Blanks]

77. Pence has zero charisma...

And not even popular in his own state, and lied about Flynn talking to the Russians about sanctions.

I'm not sure he will make it to the end of this term.

[Foo Fighter]

34. Me too.

I was thinking 6 months. Now I'm leaning more towards April.

[dlk]

6. Unfortunately, We're Still Stuck with Pence

Even if 45 bails, we're still stuck with Pence and all of the other deplorables.

[Me.]

9. Pence, IMHO

Will be damaged goods. Lots of video.

[SammyWinstonJack]

12. Still stuck with that little troll ryan and turdle too.

[GreenEyedLefty]

84. If DFT goes down, he's taking Pence with him.

[Generic Brad]

8. I think he is going to fight back brutally

If we won't love him, he will hurt us - deeply. He cares about Trump, not America or Americans or even Republicans.

When the Supreme Court swats him down, I predict that will unleash his inner dictator and he will order hits on Americans who piss himm off. I truly think we are on the cusp of a reign of terror.

[Me.]

11. And We Will Resist

That Chaffetz town hall tonight was a thing of beauty

[Hamlette]

27. tell me more, I missed it nt

[Foo Fighter]

33. Here's a link

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028623336

The crowd was awesome.

[GliderGuider]

14. I agree. He lives for revenge.

And with Bannon backing him up, I worry he could do a LOT of damage before we get him out.

[manicraven]

31. I think so, too. He's very vindictive and never wants to admit he was wrong.

For Scrotus admitting he made an error or had a lapse in judgment is a sign of weakness, which he cannot tolerate. Instead, he tries to bully or crush his "opponent," which in this case is the Constitution and our judges. He's never learned that owning up to mistakes takes actually a very strong person.

[BainsBane]

73. Thing is

He's limited in his ability to do that by the willingness of federal agencies.

[sarcasmo]

10. Fingers crossed 45 begs for Impeachment and his flying monkeys too.

[forgotmylogin]

26. Nah, he doesn't like to beg. He'll walk off the job in a huff.

And he'll tweet something about "American needs to beg for me to come back."

[Foo Fighter]

35. Yep. He'll walk of in a huff

and say "I'm leaving and going to where they truly appreciate my greatness. I'm great. Too great for you."

And then he'll fly to Russia.

[forgotmylogin]

80. He'll fly to Russia

On his own yuge arms without the help of Air Force One. He flies better than any plane. He's terrific.

He'll tweet on the way (with two more arms he'll specially grow for the occasion) "US wasn't good enough for me. Oh how they begged me to stay and make them GREAT again! SAD!"

[TrekLuver]

71. Too bad Obama haters didn't call him 44 would of sounded a lot nicer than all the racist crap. So

I beg you to reconsider using 45 ...it is way too nice for this Trumphole PRICK.

[lpbk2713]

16. He's a walking waste of time and effort.

He spends most of his time tweeting and telling
everyone how great he is and how wrong they are.

[tblue37]

49. And watching TV looking for mentions of himself. nt

[WheelWalker]

[trc]

18. "I won't be surprised if he bails."

[Me.]

24. Welcome

[NYC Liberal]

19. I don't think he'll bail. I think he might stroke out.

I mean, now he's tweeting in ALL CAPS.

If/when SCOTUS strikes the ban, he's really going to flip out.

Also he's going to do plenty more that is going to get slapped down. He won't take it well.

[MFM008]

22. especially tonight.

[Buns_of_Fire]

30. How can he escalate after ALL CAPS, you wonder?

Easy! Commandeer the Emergency Alert System ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Alert_System ) to broadcast his words of wisdom over all broadcast media, whenever he gets a wild hair! Genius!

Imagine sitting there, watching Here Comes Honey Boo Boo with your bucket of KFC, when the red bar flashes on the top of your screen, with the familiar *beep* *beep* *beep*. Oh crap, you think. Tornado? Flood? Nuclear war? Alien invasion?

Nope. "EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT" it reads. "IVANKA TRUMP JEWELRY NOW 10% OFF AT WALMART! VERY, VERY GOOD!"

[NYC Liberal]

46. Heh. At work the other day there was an AMBER Alert sent out

and everyone's phones started screeching with the emergency alert tone. We all joked that we'd thought Trump had started WWIII. But it's too possible to be that funny...

[Brother Buzz]

20. Seriously, the orange anus could stroke out and it would be business as usual

Think Weekend at Bernie's

[procon]

21. What are the odds that he just quits and walks away?

At some point he's going to get tired of the constant pressure, restrictions, and demands on his time to make complex decisions that he can't dump off in some flunky and go partying. This thing with all his business entanglements, and his families ties to the Trump brand is getting hotter every day, and he is not going to sell off everything to comply. Then there's the little matter of his suspicious dealings with Russia that is not going away.

He has no reason to stay in the Oval Office, he never really wanted the job anyway. I suspect he would have been happy with a big ass trophy with "winner" engraved on it. So when he realized the job of being the president doesn't translate in mean "king", maybe he'll get tired, or bored, flustered, or mad enough to throw in the towel.

[Me.]

23. I Thnk IT's A Possibility

I read awhile back that he likes to spend his evenings in a bathrobe eating meatloaf in front of the TV. In the WH he's hemmed and spends his nights wandering the rooms.

[leftstreet]

25. Wouldn't surprise me

He hasn't exactly spent his entire career aiming to be President of the US. It just happened in the same way he might have entered any other 'contest.'

Winning was one thing, but governing? LOL

I could see him walking away

[oberliner]

45. Zero

He is not going to quit and walk away.

[Egnever]

47. ..

[CitizenZero]

28. Trump The Dictator

I think once Trump realizes that he can not Rule By Decree with unlawful Executive Orders, it will be the beginning of the End for him. Trump has little grasp of what a Democracy is, and if the Courts manage to block his Executive Orders, he will then realize that he is not going to be able to Rule just by using a Pen. I don't think that Trump has the intelligence to even work with a Republican Congress, and the Democrats there will continue to fight.

Democrats in Congress must tirelessly oppose Trump and his Regime. Thank God for the Courts, though. I seriously think that we would be well on our way to a Dictatorship if Trump could get away with his Unconstitutional Executive Orders. If Trump can not rule by decree, he will have to work with Congress and go through the democratic process.

Trump is impatient, stupid, and thin-skinned. He also has no strong idea about how the Government works and has a poor temperament for working with others. He thinks he is the CEO of America, but a Republic is not a Corporation. I think that these factors will frustrate him, and he will either quit or make some horrendous blunder, and will be OUT. My money is on him making some horrendous blunder. He is already on the verge of violating the Constitution over Ivanka's clothing line, and that is the tip of this iceberg.

So, yes, Trump may be out in 100 Days or less.

[Kablooie]

29. If the GOP decides he's getting in the way of them gutting our government he will quickly disappear.

It's beginning to look that way.
I think they thought it would be a breeze to push everything they wanted through without a problem but it looks like Trump is gumming up the works.

That's really the only thing that will make them impeach him.
They don't care a whit about the law, the Constitution or people's lives.
Nothing but making the government a hollow shell interests them.

[manicraven]

32. Also, the longer Pence is rolled out to smooth out things, the more he's linked to Scrotus

and his nightmarish executive orders and weirdness, which isn't good if they're planning to bump him into the presidency. He'll be greatly compromised if they wait too long.

[2naSalit]

36. I'm thinking he might not make it to

day 80 or even 45.

[Grammy23]

38. I feel like this whole thing is a run away train...

Picking up speed every day. At this rate, we can expect investigations and hearings by March. Honestly, I knew things would be bad, but I expected them to hold it between the ditches for a while. Apparently, it is the blind leading the blind and 45 is not willing to let anyone with knowledge of how things are done in the White House advise them or offer guidance.

So they are stumbling from one blunder to the next, all the while trying to give the impression that everything is cool. We see what you did there, Sean, Kellyanne, Bannon and tRump. We're not fooled. Things are a mess and .....and you have on no clothes, Numb nuts.

[Me.]

55. Runawy Train

Is a perfect description

[2naSalit]

68. Back in the day...

in the trucking business when an incompetent driver (or company notorious for lots of mishaps - everybody knew about them) would be passing you there would often be CB radio comments about the truck/driver was "'bout to have a runaway" so watch out. Kind of the same thing, train sounds better in this case. I've fallen off the pavement before, if it's not a bad wreck you can often make your way back onto the pavement with little or no harm to equipment or personnel... and I have been in the driver's seat of a train too, there's no place to jump or run, if you leave the track, it's game over.

Dumbasses are so jacked up on pride and privilege that they would rather have a train wreck than actually consider someone other than themselves, even when the whole planet is at stake.

[fleabiscuit]

37. I wouldn't cry if the bail was from the top of Trump Tower. nt

[zentrum]

39. Not sure what you mean.

I see Reuters and Rasmussen reporting that his polls are holding steady and they are around 50%.

But polls seem all over the place on this.

[Me.]

54. Rachel Reported On Polls Last Night

That were all out awful for him

[zentrum]

59. Fantastic. Thnx

[ProfessorGAC]

61. The Last Polls I Saw. . .

.. . and i think it was here yesterday had him at 57% disapproval which is the highest in history for a president in office for less than 3 months, and he's been in 3 weeks.

[zentrum]

62. So I tracked this down

...further and yes, his approval ratings are below 50%:

The Morning Consult/Politico poll showed 47 percent of voters said they approve of Trump's performance, a drop of 2 percentage points in the same poll the previous week. His disapproval rating increased from 41 percent to 46 percent

.

So yay for that.

But a majority approve of his immigration plan. This is really ugly. The civil war in this country seems to never end.

[Me.]

63. It Was A PPP Exclusive That Rachel Discussed

And his best number was on impeachment, 49 against/47% for.

Now if you separated it out 51% of his followers still support him, meaning half of his people....but nationally he's underwater every which way. And keep in ming that half his supporters means about half of 35%.

[ProfessorGAC]

64. It's Not Just The Approval, Zentrum

At this early point in a new prez's term, the approval rating is usually higher, but the disapproval rating is usually far lower than the approval rating. The poll i mentioned had him at 42 and 56%. Fully one quarter more people actively disapprove than approve. That's historically bad.

[C Moon]

40. I dunno. I still believe Putin has a hand in this;

and Trump—whether he likes it or not—will have to finish his job.

[BadgerMom]

48. This!

[denbot]

67. Yup, he is too valuable an asset to let him walk away.

Putin has the keys to the Kingdom and would not give them up without a pound of flesh.

[world wide wally]

41. Bye, asshole.... It's been fake

[briv1016]

42. I still say that after the person that replaces Spicer leaves they will end the daily briefing.

Conway will leave around the same time as Spicer. You'll see the entire administration pull away from the media and Donald will simply start announcing executive orders over twitter. Congress will just continue to pass him bills to rubber stamp.

[madokie]

43. We can damn sure hope thats the case

But at this point I'd rather see him drove in the ground like a post, so to speak. He has and had no intention of doing any one thing for us. Its all about tRump, fuck'em

[oberliner]

44. He is not going anywhere

The people who voted for him still love him. Republicans are doing his bidding (and are willing to go along with his shenanigans to get SC justices and tax breaks). We are in this for the long haul, and we need to figure out a strategy moving forward.

[Snarkoleptic]

50. Maybe I'll quit trolling him on Twitter and begin a positive reinforcement campaign.

"Donald, you really built the best brand, believe me, a great brand, a great company, yuuuge"
"You've get the best words and always make the best deals, bigly."
"Your children are amazing, the best genes, the best, believe me, although NOBODY can run as well as you...the bestest, smartest dealmaker...evah!"

He seems to believe the last person he's spoken with, so if we call all stay on message, it will sink in.

[Seasider]

51. Do Presidents ever get a psych evaluation?

If not then it might be a good time to implement a policy like that. Not just for Trump but for anybody holding the office of President.

[dembotoz]

52. Wishful thinking...Gop controls all

They won't allow trump removal

It's power first

[Blue_Tires]

53. He should already be thinking of his exit strategy

An influential Dem senator who knows tact and discretion should let it be known through back WH channels that the impeachment will very soon become a simple matter of "Pick a charge, any charge", and Donnie would do well to get out in the next few months with his brand and reputation intact...

Let him declare victory over "the establishment" and leave, let him say it's health issues, let him say it's for the good of the nation, let him say it's impossible to serve with so many turncoats and backstabbers in his administration, let him say he was never really serious in the first place... Just offer him a deal that lets him save face if he resigns ASAFP....

[randome]

56. His stationary position is like an irresistible force versus an immovable object.

His ego won't let go and his failures stubbornly persist. The only result can be annihilation: the bestest, bigliest personal meltdown ever!

[Me.]

57. Exactly

I only hope it's on camera

[Me.]

58. This Is What I'm Talking About

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028624970

[GoCubsGo]

65. I'm surprised he lasted two weeks.

The only thing that does not surprise me is that his party tolerates him.

[ananda]

66. This is the one thing that does not surprise me!

They can follow the Koch-Heritage playbook now
with complete impunity!

Even those messy townhalls and all the protests
are not stopping them! And certainly not the
Dems who seem to have some will in spurts
but nothing consistent.

And Trump will follow it too.

[TrekLuver]

70. 45 really sounds just too nice for this A La Ronge asshole.

[BainsBane]

72. His supporters still back him

His numbers aren't so different from before the election.

He might bail. I don't know. He might just check out and still be president in name but let Pence do the work.

[Skittles]

74. he is being blackmailed by Putin

he won't be going anywhere

[DesertRat]

75. I agree with you

I think he'll quit, using the excuse that he can't maintain his businesses and the presidency.
He's never been inclined toward any sort of public service. His whole life has been about enriching himself and his kids.

[truebluegreen]

79. The best part is, imo,

his stint at governatin' may bankrupt him--for real this time--instead of the reverse. He is tanking his, and his family's brand and although there is some inflow now, I doubt it is sustainable.

Like his pResidency.

Sad!

[DesertRat]

83. Yup!

Also, he loved being a celebrity and hanging w/ celeb friends. Now he's a pariah among A listers. That's gotta hurt.

[Eliot Rosewater]

76. He is a child who is incapable of dealing with the office.

Obama dealt with obstruction while being a great man who deserved unlimited respect.

Fuckface deserves NO respect, is an embarrassment to the human race.

Anyone who still supports him is saying they are a racist and an asshole.

[cwydro]

78. Yeah, and before that he wouldn't make it through the primaries.

Then he'd give up before the GE, then he'd quit after winning...

I'd love to live in magic land too.

[Me.]

81. To Each His Own

No need for snark

[treestar]

82. Campaigning was fun for him

the adoring crowds. This is real work. I knew he would hate it if he actually got the job. He'd likely rather be starting his Trump News Network and picking on Hillary for everything even more than Faux Noise does.
