You're right America

"According to the results of a recent Gallup poll, less than half of Americans are confident in the abilities of the president-elect to carry out his duties as the President of the United States.

Only 44 percent of those interviewed said that they were confident in Donald Trump’s ability to “prevent major scandals in his administration,” as compared to 74 percent for Obama and 77 percent for Bush in previous polls taken at the same time for the former two presidents."

that make up the 44%? What the hell is wrong with them? (Personally I think it's more that they "don't care" about the scandals, as long as he makes it OK to insult, demean and use nasty language.)
