Why is President Trump so unpopular ?

President Donald Trump is the most unpopular president , and it's not even a close fight.

Presidents generally have had an average approval rating of 53 percent since 1938 to 2018, according to historical comparisons compiled this week by Gallup. But Trump's approval rating dropped to 37 percent this week, down from 39 percent in December.

Trump is the least popular president in modern history, according to FiveThirtyEight. "Trump’s early-term unpopularity is unusual. In the decades since World War II, the average first-term president before Trump had an approval rating of 62 percent on his 175th day in office," the site wrote in July, when Trump's approval rating was 39 percent.

Have you taken an objective look at the news reporting? It is universally negative toward Trump. Don't blame Trump blame the 'establishment' that wants only its own in power. Trump will likely be one of the greatest presidents in US history.

@hippyjoe1955 his politics! 😆 you make it sound like he'd got coherent ideas and can express them in coherent English. You obviously don't follow his Twitter feed.

@WoodyAq And you are too silly to know that Trump is helping your nation regain its former glory so greatly diminished by Obama, Bushes and Clinton.

@hippyjoe1955 you're silly if you think that's what's happening.

Blowing out the budget deficit, and worsening the current account deficit isn't glorious.

Losing the respect of the world community isn't glorious...

@WoodyAq The anti Trumpists are so obsessed with his twitter feed, they ignore all the good that he is doing. and he plays with his detractors on twitter like a cat plays with a mouse, or like an orca plays with a seal.
