Trump is as strongly disliked now as Nixon was before he resigned

Harry mentioned this on our podcast the other day. Baseline approval #'s miss the intensity of disapproval: https://t.co/IB3PuLoXHJ

“Among Democrats, the intensity of the dislike toward Trump is even deeper today than it was against Nixon back in 1974. Back in 1974, 70% of those who said they voted for Democrat George McGovern in 1972 (37% of the sample) gave Nixon a poor rating. That’s 10 percentage points below the 80% of Democrats (35% of the Marist sample) who give Trump a poor rating today. ”

update:

So to be clear here: Others are in the neighborhood of Trump's overall disapproval rating. What makes Trump unique is he has many more strongly disapproves than other presidents. (Others had more somewhat disapproves.) It's not a contradiction. Both are true. https://t.co/bM39J0yhZA

Trump’s mean attacks on McCain

Can you imagine if Barack Obama made a cutting reference to Ted Kennedy while Kennedy was fighting brain cancer?

And yet, Trump does that same thing to John McCain in every campaign speech he delivers and barely an eye is batted.

Trump golf days

Don’t tell me he’s too busy to testify before Mueller.

Trump starts his day at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ.

This is Trump's 177th day at a Trump property as president and his 134th day at a Trump golf club as president.

Trump only cares about his base

How much clearer can it be? He’s only showing the poll numbers among Republicans. Sad!

Important for Canada too. Our tailpipe stds are harmonized with US. Embracing tighter California stds (matched by other states) ceases to be an option if Trump Admin withdraws Clean Air Act waiver that allows CA to depart from national std. #cdnpoli https://t.co/E2TxMytQLU
