The notion that 45% approve of what’s actually happening is appalling.
45 percent is consistent with the cultural rot that is destroying America from within. America is still in material terms arguably the most gifted nation on earth. All the problems stem from cultural rot, and that has now manifest in political rot.

I'm not disappointed in trump. He's doing exactly what I thought he would do, and exactly what he said he was gonna do.
I'm disappointed in my fellow Americans for voting for, or not voting against him.
45% of Americans are imbeciles
