February 12: Thousands of demonstrators
waving Mexican flags and signs denouncing
President Trump
marched through central Mexico City on Sunday, the largest mobilization in
the capital to date against the controversial polices of the Trump White House.
“We are not against the American people: This is about Trump, who is spreading
hate and division,” said Maria Garcia, a former resident of Chicago who carried
an unflattering, paper-mache likeness of the U.S. president. “The United States
and Mexico are natural friends and allies, but Trump is destroying this.”

February 14: The latest Kaiser Health
Tracking Poll finds attitudes towards the Affordable Care Act (ACA) have shifted
with a larger share reporting a favorable opinion towards the law (48 percent)
than reporting an unfavorable opinion (42 percent). This is the highest level of
favorability of the ACA measured in more than 60 Kaiser Health Tracking Polls
since 2010 and is largely driven by a change in the views of independents, among
which 50 percent now view the law favorably.

points, leadership and intelligence, are sinking to new lows.
"This is a terrible survey one month in," Malloy added.

April 27: Today ... is a terrifying new day. Frankly, it is as if
we have suddenly found ourselves trapped in a not-fun-Fun House. Scary voices
distort what we hear; weirdly curved mirrors distort what we see; a thick layer
of fog seems always to swirl around us. How have we ended up trapped in this
Dali-esque structure? It’s because the goal of this new president is in fact
radically different from the others we have had before. The leader of our nation
today seeks not to avoid the traumas of the past. Instead, he has shown so far
an interest in reinstituting and resurrecting those mistakes — the immigration
panics of the ’20s, the law-and-order mania of the ’80s, and others — as if they
were the solutions to our most troubling problems. [Heather
Ann Thompson, history professor at the University of Michigan and author of
Blood in the Water]

April 28: President Donald Trump, reflecting on a first
100 days in office that has featured
no major legislative wins and
low approval ratings, said Thursday he thought the job would be easier.
"I loved my previous life, I loved my previous life. I had so many things
going," Trump said in an

life. I thought it would be easier."
He later added, "I do miss my old life. This -- I like to work. But this is

November 16: “The fish rots from the head”
... “and the stench of this administration starts at the very top.” ... a
historian on the unique corruption of Trump’s White House ...
“Politicians lie, but this is different,” says a historian who studies
presidential history and estimates the Trump administration easily ranks among
the most corrupt in American history.
Robert Dallek is a presidential historian and the author of several books,
including his latest about FDR titled
Franklin Roosevelt: A Political Life. Writing recently for
the Guardian, Dallek lamented the “disaster” that is the Trump presidency
but also reminded readers that American democracy is surprisingly resilient and
has survived far worse.
Despite Trump’s promises to “drain the swamp,” the first year of his
administration has been plagued by
resignations,
investigations, and
scandals. Dallek estimates that historical examples of corruption, like that
of the Warren G. Harding administration, don’t hold a candle to how Trump and
his people have conducted themselves in the White House.
History will judge Trump, and it will not be kind.

it's still amazing sometimes to hear the extent to which Trump's supporters will

for example, one Trump-supporting panelist offered that if Jesus Christ told him
Trump colluded with Russia, he'd still defer to the president on whether or not
it was true. This would suggest he trusts the Word of Trump over the Word of
God.

Trump's party. If there were any doubts about this, recent polling - which shows
the president with near record levels of backing from Republican voters -
confirms the fact.
According to a

500-day mark of his presidency sits at 87%, second only to George W Bush's 96%,
which came nine months after the September 11 World Trade Center attacks.

September 6: In light of an op-ed published
by an anonymous Trump official this week alleging that senior staff are working
to thwart the president's agenda, U.S. Sen. Bob Corker says allegations are no
surprise.
“I am not a fan of anonymous op-eds, but I don’t think those of us who have
worked closely with people in the White House are surprised by the content,"
Corker, a Republican who shares long-running beef with Trump, said in a
statement Thursday.
"I think the biggest issue they’re going to have is figuring out who wouldn’t
have written a letter like that," Corker said.

October 29: Trump Approval Rating Plunges
Amid Violence as Midterms Approach
http://fortune.com/2018/10/29/trump-approval-rating-plunges/
This weekend, Trump managed to insult a venerated military veteran, mangled the
name of a wildfire-scarred town that he had just left, confused the president of
Finland by making strange comments about leaf raking and, like a grade-schooler,
attempted to taunt a critic in Congress with a naughty play on his name. All in
just 48 hours.
November 26: Six-in-10 Americans disapprove
of the job Donald Trump is doing as President, according to a
Gallup poll out Monday. Thirty-eight percent approve of the President.
Trump's most recent approval rating is down five percentage points since last
week's Gallup poll and reflects a slight decrease in almost every demographic
group, but especially among those aged 18-29, who went from 35% approval of the
President to 28%. The disapproval rating increased seven percentage points since
last week.
Gallup polls, which are conducted each week, reflect more fluctuation in Trump's
approval, which has moved often between 35% and 45% since he assumed the office
of President.

December 17: Trump’s Shutdown Is Hurting
Trump’s Approval Rating
The president’s popularity has dropped below 40 percent amid what is now a
six-day partial government shutdown over funding for Trump’s southern border
wall, according to a poll from
Morning Consult conducted from December 21 to 23. The last time Trump’s
approval rating was this low was when he
refused to condemn neo-Nazis after the white nationalist rally in
Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017.
