Trump's presidential approval when he left office: 34. Was low his whole term

We should have reminded people. They hated Trump. I recall that Trump was upset about his ratings.

Which I will never believe he won fair.

I remember when he announced his bid again, I was so disgusted, the audacity.

13. His approval level with Republicans stayed high. Even after 1/6, it was over 80

Trump's approval amongst repubs was in the 90s most of his presidency. In contrast, Joe's approval amongst Democrats dropped out of the 90s and was in the mid-to-low 80s, occasionally dropping into the 70s, most of his term.

Once people's citizenship privileges become tied to their support for the regime, that number will calcify and be reflected in "election" results.

9. His popularity won't be any better this time

because the only way it could be is if he doesn’t make himself the center of attention all the time. His ego won’t permit that.

10. They don't like him but they voted for him.

It's as simple as that. I'm going to do what I can to not let them get away with that little sleight of hand.

Anybody who voted for Trump is tainted by Trump.
