The latest Gallup Poll shows that 60% of those who were asked, disapprove of Trump's conduct as president.
Only 38% of them approve. How much lower will that get, after Mueller's investigation releases its findings?

He's definitely a legitimate president, just not the first choice of Americans.

And we should care what they think why Mr Dean? Imagine if they said Howard Dean should be president, should we automatically make it so then?
Coming from overseas, I can say that foreigners completely fail to understand America - that is most true for Europeans. Be happy that you live in America, especially one that is getting set right by Trump.

Does Howard Dean talk to the deplorable's or does he get this opinion from inside the bubble?

That is a fair point, as much of our foreign aid seems excessive.

I suppose our country feels as if we need a stable western society/culture in the Middle East, and since Israel is not an sworn enemy of America and committing jihad again us and other Christian nations, it makes geopolitical sense to help them survive.

Lets face it, only Egypt & Saudi Arabia (among the major Muslim nations) have been considered moderate toward the west.
Obama/Hilary ended our relationship with Egypt when they threw Mubarak under the bus. Obviously Saudi Arabia's loyalty toward us is questionable, since they fund madrassas teaching hate and destruction of us and Israel.

So clearly Israel is one stable society that we can depend upon, compared with others. Do you or others disagree?

Ok, now I see what you were getting at.

I will say that much of the foreign media of any substance/recognition still takes a liberal and/or leftist stance.
Whether it be the AP, Reuters, Guardian, etc.
Every time there is a Republican president elected, much of the global/European media/press has assailed Americans as stupid for electing Reagan, Bush, etc.
So while the vitriol against Bush is more obvious and passionate, they have been like that for as long as I can remember going back to the 80's.

As to that certain station you reference, rest assured you see a wide variety of opinion and may Democrats being able to speak on issues that you do not see from the MSM in most cases.
I have seen interviews with Democrats saying Fox News has given them a platform to express their viewpoint without being censored or restricted.
I think what happens with too many people is equating the conservative talking heads on the opinion shows (i.e. Hannity) with the news division.

Dean has long had a case of "big mouthitis".
