Trump is acting no differently that what people found out about him during the election. This is the guy they voted in, with full knowledge and open eyes.

The difference is that he is actually delivering on his promises regarding trade, North Korea, and especially illegal immigration.

This is what people on the left can't comprehend: nobody on the right actually likes or approves of how this guy behaves, but that's not why he's there.

A little perspective...

Those extra meaningless votes (2,868,518 to be exact) that Hillary picked-up in large deep blue states like New York and California add up to slightly more than 2% of the popular vote cast.

Considering that independents outnumber both Democrats and Republicans, and since Trump's approval numbers are on the rise, I see the cap being much higher.

From CNN via Hot Air -

"President Donald Trump’s approval rating has rebounded to its highest level since the 100-day mark of his presidency, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, even as his approval ratings for handling major issues remain largely negative"

https://hotair.com/archives/2018/03/...-dems-shrinks/

The Gallup Poll, which is the only one I regard as fully dependable, has Trump at 39% approval this week, with his disapproval rating at 55%. I doubt that level will be sustained for long, as those who were influenced by the fact that congress finally passed a major bill, that was bipartisan and signed by him, will be thinking twice, when they realize how much more in debt it will put us.

Look at all you Democrats who suddenly give a damn about debt. Gee, I wonder why? I love how all you hypocrites have suddenly turned into junior economists tut-tutting this administration.

And yet you would gladly take that if it meant your guy (or gal) would win the presidency.

Trump's number is trending up.

Obama also didn’t have the liberal mainstream media propaganda machine working overtime against him. Not only did they not bash him incessantly like they do to Trump, they actually gave Obama lots of positive spin too.

What Trump is able to do is remarkable.

Come on now, liberals take shots at Trump from A - Z regardless of merit, most egregiously about being racist, hating women, hating Jews, etc... none of which are remotely true

And in another poll today, his approval has dropped from December's 42% to 39%. The thing to realize with all these polls is that Trump's numbers really aren't moving outside of the margin of error. His approval/disapproval ratings have remained consistent regardless of his scandals or achievements. People have their minds made up about him and they aren't changing them.
