It probably is higher because the idiotic media can make more money by posting the negative stories. He's just a guy with a job, neither a god nor a fool. The biggest reason he can't get everything done is because everyone who was so butthurt over the election is going out of their way to be difficult. The haters are dumber than a bag of foam.

Yeah, the Republican president with a Republican House, Republican Senate, and conservative Supreme Court was being hamstrung by the Democrats. That makes sense.

If you really want to see obstructionism, check out how McConnell ran the senate after the Democrats lost the majority during Obama's tenure.

Don't act like everyone is playing nice. The system is set up to make sure no one person has too much power but it's also preventing many things from moving forward.

I didn't say everyone was playing nice; I said the idea he was being meaningfully obstructed when literally every branch of government was on his side is patently ridiculous.

I wouldn't be surprised if the big ego, the idea that we're supposed to be involved with everything, is why plenty of countries hate us.

And do you think Trump launching trade wars against allies and badmouthing their leaders (and sometimes their populace) is going to improve that?

And for whatever fuck-ups the US has committed abroad (and there have been no shortage of them), the idea of China setting up their own global alliance while the US just kind of sits around with its thumb up its ass is not an idea that should bring anyone comfort.
