Trump's Q2 Gallup Poll approval rating lowest of any president's since 1945 #StopWinningSoMuch



President Trump's average approval rating in the second quarter of 2017 was the lowest of any president's approval rating since Gallup began tracking the number in 1945.

A Gallup poll released Friday found that President Trump's average approval rating for the second quarter of 2017 (April 20 to July 19) was 38.8 percent, which is lower than any other president during a comparable period in their term.

That's a decrease from Trump's first-quarter approval rating, which averaged at 41 percent according to Gallup. His rating was the lowest first-quarter approval rating of any president since Gallup started recording.

The next lowest second-quarter approval rating for a president belonged to President Clinton, who averaged an approval rating of 44 percent during this period in his first term.

2. Because he always is angry.

He's an ugly, blubbery orange heap of unfocused rage caused by a combination of toxic ego, his father's and Roy Cohn's insistence that you must always win, no matter what it takes, and the long-standing refusal of the elite old money of New York to admit him into their social circle. Everything is always about him and he becomes furious at any slight, real or imagined. He's a hot mess psychologically, but he certainly appeals to angry white guys who are freaking out at their perceived loss of privilege.

No scowl or snarl---beware. He is either lying to you or trying to tell you what he thinks you want to hear. When he wants to be the Authoritarian, he goes into ugly face. Snapping and snarling like a rabid dog, he lets out his worst invectives and instincts. But Mr. smiley face is just the flip side of snarly face. You buy what he is selling at your own peril.
