Disclaimer - I have no interest in politics, nor do I follow it, nor do I have any intellectual knowledge about the government. I also voted for Clinton.

Saw this article - Trump's approval ratings at all time low, people don't approve of what he's doing

Then follow up with this (so many articles) - stock market rally has never been so bullish and high

Sooooooo a lot of people are complaining/disapproving because someone is putting more money in their bank accounts

I may be an outlier, but the ONLY ways Trump and all his "silly" and "stupid" policies have directly affected me is 100% positive.

No, the reason a lot of people are complaining is because of what Trump and his minions are doing to our national security, our formerly good relations with our allies and the damage to the state of education, science, health, the environment, and the free press in our country.

Not to mention the increasingly suspicious growing revelations about business and mob associations with Vladimir Putin's Russia on the parts of many, many of Trump's nearest and dearest, with decidedly dubious individuals of various nationalities playing their roles as well.

And that's just a start.

But it's not negatively affecting anyone (yet). Feel free to complain when it's making everyone's lives worse but right now (most) everyone is getting richer

Easy answer. The pollsters have no idea how to guage Trump's support.

OP, Dems believed the polls before the election and they freaked when they were wrong. They have yet to get over it and they desperately look for any way they can attack him. Do you know why Dems believe in participation trophies? Because they hate to lose. This is what it looks like when they do.... nasty!

The polls could have been a manipulation tactic to discourage Trump supporters from voting. After all the polls said Hillary was a sure win right lol. And now they'll point to the polls again, a tactic for followers, a follower who thinks to him/herself .... if they are saying he is so bad then he must be and I'll jump on the hate Trump bandwagon because it's the cool thing to do.

Kind of sad and funny. I just ignore the polls. I live in what was once a blue state, people who voted Democrat most of their lives and now these same people were so disgusted with Obama and the current crop of Democrats they may be true Republicans now.

Depends on how you define what is enriching.

For me and many others, my personal monetary "riches" have little to do with what I perceive as truly precious.

I'm sorry - is your view of the country that we should only care about money?

Perhaps that's the way you think. Me, I'm interested in things like First Amendment rights, civil rights, health care, etc.

Of course, that doesn't even take into account the national shame of being represented by a president who is a bigoted, ignorant, predatory, self-serving, lying, petty, vindictive, boastful, narcissistic bully.

Which one of Trump's policies have affected you 100% positive and specifically how did it cause this affect?

I'll be waiting, and waiting, and waiting......
