50% of Americans now strongly disapprove of Donald Trump. Only 20% strongly approve. 1% oligarchs, 300 are R congressmen and Senators and the rest are not very bright or racists, sexual predators or fraudsters in on the scam.

"When Donald Trump crawled back into the White House, his numbers were already in the gutter. And yet somehow, he's managed to sink even further.
37% approval. A new second-term low. Down from 39% in February. Down from 42% in December. Down from 45% just a year ago."

From Berlin to Budapest: How Republicans Surrendered the Fight for Freedom There was a time when my former party spoke easily about evil—not as a slogan, but as a real force manifested in regimes that crushed individual freedom and devalued human life.

"Republican Party has devolved from Ronald Reagan demanding freedom for the oppressed to Donald Trump threatening to destroy a civilization over the price of oil. Lindsey Graham describes Iran as a “cancer.” The cancer of American politics is the Republican Party."
