Presidential Approval Ratings -- Donald Trump - Lowest of any President for past 64 years

Bali & World News & Views Editor's Comments

Finally The American public is waking up to Donald Trump. 

His approval rating has fallen to only 38% according to the latest Gallup poll survey.

This is the lowest level of any president in his eighth quarter in 64 years.

"lowest level of any president in his eighth quarter in 64 years"

And that's before the latest news that came out today when his former personal attorney for 12 years, Cohen admitted lying about the fact that Trump had business dealings with Russia regarding building a Trump tower  at the start of the presidential election campaign which Trump has denied. Cohen Also said that Russian Pres. who didn't was offered at $50 million suite in the building if he approved. This would be in violation of America's anti-graft law preventing anyone from bribing foreign officials.

I was beginning to think that almost 50% of the American public were totally ignorant or they had lost their ethics when they did not recognize that Trump constantly lies, cheats on his wife, authorizes fraudulent advertising practices for his college etc. etc. etc..

The problem is a sitting president cannot be indicted under law.

Impeaching the president will be near impossible with the Republican Senate majority.

I don't know where this is all heading I'm hoping that he will be shamed into resigning. But only if the American public begins to disapprove of him as a president. The only thing he cares about is public opinion!

While in office he has literally insulted and upset every organization including in the news organizations such as Washington Post , and CNN by removing a key CNN White House reporters press pass.

He doesn't want to believe his own CIA regarding the killing of a Washington Post journalists by a Saudi Prince who thinks he is above the law.

He doesn't even want to treat Russia harshly after they actually invaded a sovereign country who is a N.A.T.O. ally. He has not even objected to the closure of a major international shipping lane and arrest several of Ukraine's Navy.

The big question is what does Putin Have over him?

Maybe we'll find out when Putin summons him like a subservient at the forthcoming the G7 meeting in Argentina in the coming days.
