An old proverb says a leader without followers is “only taking a walk.”
If that’s the case, then the strutting President Trump has turned his presidency into a very lonely walk.
A Morning Consult poll released last week found Trump losing support in states he easily carried last year. He is down 23 points in Tennessee since his inauguration in January, down 21 points in Mississippi, down 20 in Kentucky, down 19 in Kansas and down 17 in Indiana.
At the three-quarter mark of his first year in office, Trump is the least popular new president in history.
On Capitol Hill, House and Senate Republicans are also walking away from Trump.
“Last time I checked, you are the president of the United States, so tweeting out these tacky insults just seems beneath you,” Neil Cavuto of Fox News said on his show last week. “You are running out of friends faster than you are running out of time. You might not like Bob Corker, but a lot of senators do, and you need those senators, sir.”
A new Quinnipiac poll last week found that 49 percent of voters disapprove of the way Trump is handling taxes and just 37 percent approve.
Trump has also failed to deliver on his campaign promise to build a southern border wall and have Mexico pay for it. He continues to say it will get done. But, again, polls show voters don’t want a wall.
Similarly, Trump seems unaware that a majority of Americans now approve of the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare, and want its problems fixed so it can continue.
Instead, having failed to win a full repeal of the health-care law from the Republican majority in Congress, he signed an executive order allowing low-cost insurance to be sold across state lines.
That has been tried before and has a sad history of consumer fraud and regulatory confusion.
So it’s no wonder Trump now walks alone. He remains a celebrity figure for his hardcore base. But 10 months into his presidency, Republicans are starting to drift away as he fails to deliver on nearly every major campaign promise he made.
That’s not my opinion. That’s a demonstrable fact.

He does not seem to be getting much done except a lot of golf games and stays at his hotels by bigwigs wanting a seat at the table.

Is Trump failing the American people ?

Every person place or thing that declares itself progressive is united in what they term "legal resistance" translated obstructionist who haven't come to the reality that they backed such a bad candidate that an old socialist was beating her. So incensed were the progressive pundits they cheated and she still lost.

Is Trump failing?

Well we have a Republican Congress who promised if they became majority would repeal Obamacare, cut taxes, dump the Iran Deal. Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Is Trump failing you better look back because when it comes to regulations, judicial appointments EPA, etc if you don't his train is going to run you down

Progressives are spending all of their time trying to diminish Trump rather than engaging in productive and important work for the benefit of this nation

Personal Best Regards:

Thank you. Juan Williams. He is another Democrat who works at Fox National News(His niece lives here in The Villages, a lovely, smart woman.)

I am telling you, Fox is worth watching from time to time.

In the link....

The only way not to see Trump as a failure is to close your eyes to what all of us can see.

Pretty much says it all.

Maybe compared to you...

I hope that's the only one...encourage her to leave.

Even though most Americans do NOT want Obamacare repealed (though they do want it fixed).

Most Americans do NOT want major tax cuts for the rich, while the middle class is thrown a bone and the deficit soars.

Most Americans who know anything at all about the Iran deal have been very pleased with their low prices for gas...the Iran deal was all about oil. The Koch brothers were very displeased with the competition for their Canadian XL oil and spent millions trying to trash the deal.

I am sure of that.....worth watching from time to time.

HOWEVER, you and your ilk, on the behest of the President attacking all journalism and the first ammendment while at time using Fox to spread totally false...I mean the President was called on his Fox news by a foreign leader in the Rose Garden..he said that is what Fox said.

It is tough to allow even a snippet of good things about Fox when you and all of the Trump army keep blasting away, with no exception to accusing the MSM of lies told by Lying and fake news. A charge that has yet to be even given any credence by the accusers. Actually, anyone who reads at all is aware the term fake news when applied to the past campaign has been attributed to Russia on behalf of Trump. Yet, you folks keep skipping down the lane making one unsubstantiated accusation after another. Do yo folks delight in him attacking our first amendment never giving any details ?

You yourself Gracie, the day or so after the election posted this on this very forum as I will never forget it......"WE WON, YOU LOST, GET USED TO IT"

That is all we hear on here......ALL LIES except for Fox, when that is a total and complete lie.

As you said, I had to understand how you voted for Trump....well, understand when you guys ignore truth, actually run away while accusing people who do not deserve to be accused, and not in a campaign....that is over.....no, it is not simply campaign rhetoric..it is made by BY THE SITTING PRESIDENT and in such a manner to insure the world sees it. Hard to accept "Fox is worth watching from time to time."

I, personally am sick and tired of being called dumb, or whatever the name of the day is while reading support from Americans for a lying and deceitful President.

Today, he said that Obama never called any families of killed soldiers...

"During an impromptu press conference Monday, President Trump claimed that former president Barack Obama, among other former presidents, never called the families of service members who were killed in action."

Trump claimed Obama never called families of soldiers killed — then got fact-checked live - The Boston Globe

Who the hell is this person and who the hell does he think he is.

How low and dispicable can one person be

I will now put you on ignore. We did win and you lost. That wasn't a lie. Fox reported it and grudgingly so did all of the other venues in the world. Bye Bucco.

We obviously does not mean America. Obviously, you really do feel that the Trump "movement" is we, not the rest of us.

“If we lose the House, he could get impeached. Do you think he understands that?” one top Republican donor reportedly recalled a G.O.P. senator wondering aloud. “Won’t it be ironic that Steve Bannon helped get the president elected and impeached?” another Republican official said, according to CNN.

A few quotes from a Bloomberg article speaking of approval numbers...

"To get this unpopular, this fast, and to do it in an era of relatively good times, is just breathtaking. "

"I've seen people claim he's winning his fight against the NFL, for example, but the numbers certainly don't suggest that's the case.

"And yes, I think as a whole Trump's unpopularity has been massively underplayed in the media throughout his administration so far.
