Trump's easily duped supporters know he lies and are fine with it. It doesn't change their support for him.

As others have said, the value-set of Trump supporters includes the acceptance of lying, as well as other behaviors that in the old days we used to consider immoral or abhorrent; intimidation, misogony, manipulation, the list goes on and on. Truly baffled why anyone considering themselves Christian could ever say they support this guy. I would have to guess that he is losing support in that demo but can't say I have ever gone to look at the trend.

This has been going on for a long time. It's not something that only applies to those who voted for Trump.

I blame reality television. Trump was a star and tiny minded people can't comprehend anything else. In reality, he was a bad business man who was friends with Robert Durst

The Atlantic. Kim Jong Unh is a less biased source.

Well he hasn't ruined what was going good and strong before he was elected/inaugurated....that is a good thing.

But the travel ban disaster, health care mess, mismanagement of the Russian investigation from the start and the constant whining, childish antics of the President will always be what will be remembered about these first few months.

The state of unhappiness, conflict, distrust, etc....is at an all time high in this country.

As President one of his most important jobs is to represent the country -- not a small base of avid supporters, appeal to all Americans, not a small base of avid supporters.

If Trump had begun on day one encouraging and supporting the investigation of the Russian hacks and without his meddling, it would be done and resolved. We could have moved on. But the obstruction (maybe not legally but still obstruction) by him and his staff have clouded issues, suggested there is more to the story than there might be.

If Trump had been thoughtful and organized with his approach to the travel ban as he calls it, we could have completed the review of immigration policies and procedures, implemented changes and be done with that.

If Trump had been willing to appeal to those people who didn't vote for him, who have valid concerns about their quality of life with health care, rights, etc., maybe the culture in the country would be better.

If Trump could pull together his own party so that they (having the majority and all) could pull together solid, policies, acts, bills, rules, whatever....that would further improve the quality of life for Americans. This health care act is a mess. It is looking like it won't reduce the costs of Obamacare and will result with more people not being able to have health care insurance. So how is it better? I'm confused.

This should be a happy time. Obama did a great job of digging us out of a terrible economic time. Some of the policies Trump suggested could have a huge positive impact on that continuing growth. It is NOT obstruction from the Democrats - it his own divided party that is halting progression and Trump's inability to stay on message.

You people are a disgrace with your venom, hatred and attacks. It's no wonder your party has nothing to offer. You should be worrying about fixing the issues that face this country and being constructive rather than spewing your nonsense.
