Has he been called in to have a classified briefing after his reluctance to speak last week. The 2 people he was apparently copying have both now done closed sessions.I think its time Sessions was closed of course. pretty disgusting that he's still remaining in the role of head lawman in the country when he seems to have little respect for the law.

If Pence separates himself from Trump, resigns or anything is the Republican party going to support any attempt by him to run for President? I thought all of his being VP had to do with Trump and he was otherwise a pretty unpopular Senator.Or is him having been VP enough to make him candidatorial or whatever the word is.

New poll has Trump to 36% approval. I'm really not sure what will push him much further down short of following through on his threat and starting to shoot supporters one at a time.

it's been lower (just). there's nothing to stop it dropping further. you'd have to be very confident to look at https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/ and say it couldn't go any lower.
there's been a big drop in the number of people that "strongly approve" (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/06/07/strong-approval-of-trump-is-fading-across-a-number-of-demographics/), which means there are more persuadable people when events turn against him.
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Tuesday, 20 June 2017 21:32 (six years ago) link
But what would do that beside sheer exhaustion at this point? Like I said, they know he's pushing for a shitty health bill and a shitty tax cut which will both have countless negative repercussions. Are his supporters just hanging around to see if those things will be as bad as everyone says?
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 20 June 2017 21:34 (six years ago) link
his support has been falling (and the fraction of people with hardened -ve opinions has been rising) since he was elected. what's special about 36% that you think it will stop here?
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Tuesday, 20 June 2017 21:38 (six years ago) link
that is a good point that in most of the polls the 'approval' is combined 'strongly approve' and 'somewhat approve' and lately the latter has gained while the former has declined
― Charles "Butt" Stanton (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 20 June 2017 21:40 (six years ago) link
not enough to compensate (hence his falling overall approval)

Nothing it will likely go down, and perhaps back up even. I just the fact that it is even at 36% now makes it seem hopeless. This guy is a total piece of shit fraud, and even he gets 36%.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 20 June 2017 21:44 (six years ago) link
xpost yeah I mean that of the 36%, the support is more "somewhat approve" vs overwhelming support. becoming more tenuous
― Charles "Butt" Stanton (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 20 June 2017 21:47 (six years ago) link
wonder how much of the 36% is still 'sure he's a total piece of shit fraud but at least he's not a chick' deplorable?
― reggie (qualmsley), Tuesday, 20 June 2017 21:52 (six years ago) link
I feel like the red hatters are at most like 10% of the country. I think his approval can go a lot lower. I'd bet on it falling below 30% at some point.

the good news is that the present moment is arguably the first time we'll ever be able to find out. the trump presidency is a natural experiment to determine exactly how many people are fucking assholes and always will be no matter what happens around them. i'm guessing the number is around 25%.
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 20 June 2017 22:04 (six years ago) link
i've seen sub-30% approval + congressional majority mentioned as prereqs for impeachment, which seems arbitrary and inconsistent with senate behaviour for the past few months, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I feel like its closer to 20-25% too but its possible it fluctuates significantly if your base is 'all americans' or 'registered voters'.

i remember when everyone's hot take was that trump actually didn't want to be president and would exit at the first possible moment (either during the campaign or after)
now, shockingly, it seems that he DOES want to be in a position where he is the center of the world's attention every single day

I still think he looks at his presidential run as marketing for the Trump brand that got out of hand. Having inadvertently won (who knew there were so many racists left, or that Republican rank and file favored party over country), he's trapped. An exit in disgrace is a disgrace his legacy. He doesn't want to be remembered as the 2nd president who resigned under constitutional duress, or the 3rd president to be impeached.
At this point, I imagine he's hoping (and perhaps planning) for some medical impairment to allow him to step down, while still being able to claim victory over those Manhattanites who wouldn't let him play their reindeer games.
