What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[jimmy olsen]

The latest Gallup poll puts Trump's job approval at 45%. That's the highest it's been since he took office, and it's up from 37% at the start of the year. Although you'd barely know it from the press Trump gets, his approval number has been on a slow but relatively steady rise all year.

From Investor Daily.

We are so fucked.

That's from the 11th to the 17th. It doesn't cover the last week's meltdown.

But it covers the meltdowns until the 10th. You guys are fucked, well you might have escaped.

4 polls gave the seperation of kida from parents an average of 25 percent approval rate.

Nationalism sells. Saying fuck you to foreigners makes people happy.

It's doesnt sell magically from some inherent property. There are people who have been actively pushing these kinds of agenda for years, willing to compromise on so much for short term gain, or influence.

Speaking of, the normalization of immigrants as violent subhumans continues, with the White House as cheerleader.

Wow, watch the video, they are expressly saying that people who are separated from their kids don't have it so bad because the kids are not dead.  What sick twisted world are you Americans creating?

[Oexmelin]

It's thoroughly fucked up.

Meanwhile, the government reorganization plan produced recently (complete with an image of a 19th c. military parade to compensate for the one Trump hasn't gotten yet) suggests:

Merging the Department of Education with Labor. Because education is all about high-demand fields.
Consolidating enforcement capability into the hands of way fewer "enforcement officers", granted large discretionary powers.
Tying welfare benefits to work requirements
Suggests using humanitarian aid more efficiently as blackmail in international relations. (better value for American taxpayer!)
Moving the Office of Personnel Management into the Executive Office of the President, allowing greater control over promotion, rewards and termination in the executive office - in the name of a better "customer" experience (WTF).
Sell billions worth of assets... gee, I wonder who will purchase those?

What a revolting display. Just disgusting.

There is a reason why I and others have been losing our shit over this election.

Do you feel that way even if it was done at the request of the families?  'Cause if that's the case, I think it's weird, but I'm OK with the President doing it.  Otherwise, it's incredibly tacky at best, and disgusting and terribly disrespectful at worst.

[Oexmelin]

FFS. It's not the fucking picture signing. It's the whole operation, a White House event Friday highlighting victims of crimes committed by undocumented immigrants.

I imagine all the families of those unarmed people shot by cops would want to have their cases given play by the White House, too.  Somehow, I don't see that happening.

This is pure fear mongering.  There doesn't seem to be anything too slimy for this White House to do.

I thought it was a reasonable question.

I thought it was a reasonable question.

It misses the point of the criticism/revulsion.

Apparently so did the CNBC headline writer.
