Trump is in London and there is a yuuuge demonstration planned for tomorrow.

Do any of my fellow Brits like Donald Trump? How do Americans feel about the demo?

You know many Americans are against him too, myself included.

@SW-User The vast majority of Brits don't associate Trump with Americans. The rivers run too deep for that.

@SW-User a lot of Americans like him too. Don't speak for everyone please.

@abe182 A lot but not all. Or even the majority.
@HerKing In July of 2010, roughly as far into his first term as President Trump is into his first term now, President Obama's aporoval rate was 45% positive. 47% negative, according to Gallup. Higher than President Trump's by 5%, but given the negative press? Wow. And President Obama's approval percentage was also not the majority.

Where'd I get that?

@Mamapolo2016 Obama popular vote (2008) 69,498,516 Electoral 365
Trump popular vote (2016) 62,979,879 Electoral 304
@bijouxbroussard Wasn't talking about the vote, but about the approval of the respective presidencies 17 months in.

As far as the election is concerned, if the Electoral system is no longer what America wants, change it. Like it or not, President Trump was elected by the same process as many other presidents. Legally. He didn't sneak over the White House wall.
@Mamapolo2016 Okay, but the 13 Russian nationals that were [b]indicted[/b] for hacking the system will always place an * on those results. Like it or not.

@Mamapolo2016 What's President Obama got to do with this conversation.

Trump's approval rating, for the most recent week (July 2-8), is 41%. This is not the majority of the people.

Coincidentally, President's Obama's approval rating, during his last week in office was 59%, with 37% disapproving, and 4% having no opinion.

As to the negative press 🤣🤣

It appears you never watched Fox News, Breitbart, and the entire alt-right, tea party, Facebook (brought to you by Russia), InfoWars, etc., and still a 59% approval ratings, but I guess negative press only works magically, when Trump is in office.
@bijouxbroussard I don't care much one way or the other about asterisks. I don't care much about President Trump. I don't care at all about clever debate. I'm old enough that none of this will affect me much longer one way or the other. It would be nice to live out my life in a country where we are all Americans. Doesn't look like that's doable, though.
