    The internet is growing daily with admissions of buyers remorse by Trump voters, and it didn't take long.

    For most, when Trump filled his cabinet with the richest bunch of insiders in our nations history, as opposed "draining the swamp" as furiously promised, they managed to fool themselves into believing the old, "it takes a crook to catch a crook" theory.

    And when Trump signed legislation which removed regulations aimed at preventing coal companies from continuing to pollute their local streams, or Wall Street criminals from having to advise their investors based on what's best for them and not what's best for corporate revenues, they looked the other way. After all, these are Republicans - it's what they do.

    It wasn't until recently that Trump voters really starting questioning their own gullibility. That's when they realized that even with full Republican control of the government, Trump hadn't done a thing with nearly any of the crowd-loving, hot button "on day 1!" items he repeatedly and relentlessly touted on the campaign trail, such as ripping up the Iran deal, the special prosecutor to investigate Hillary, repealing Obamacare, tax breaks, building a wall (let alone have Mexico pay for it), moving the American embassy to Jerusalem, imposing term limits on all members of Congress, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator, and so on.

    Still others had their eyes opened about Trump's con when after he tore into Obama day after day for his "lavish vacations paid for by taxpayers", while promising that "he would never take vacations as president", that in his first month alone, this "end waste, small government, I'm for the little guy" billionaire had already taken two vacations that cost taxpayers nearly $12,000,000.00, almost as much as Obama's vacations cost over an entire year! In fact, in just his first month in office, Trump's lavish vacations have cost taxpayers roughly 1/8th of what Obama's cost over the entirely of his 96 months in office!

    As a result, Trump's support is bleeding out. His approval ratings are down below 40%, the lowest at this point in presidential history. While his most loyal fans will no doubt stick with him and defend him no matter what he does, it's clear at this point that if/when the impeachment hearings begin (likely over Trump's treasonous actions with Russia), he will have few left to defend him.

    Lame and baseless. This forum is flooded with "I did not vote for Trump but while he keeps his campaign promises, the liberal snowflakes and the media have completely lost their marbles" admissions.

    Moreover

    ...his measures are immensely popular with voters. A Morning Consult/Politico survey conducted during the first week of February found that the Trump executive orders deemed most controversial by commentators and the news media actually enjoy the approval of either majorities or clear pluralities of Americans registered to vote. Ending federal support for sanctuary cities tops the list: 55% of those surveyed endorse the idea, and only 33% oppose it. The border wall wins by 48% to 42%, the deep-sixing of the Pacific trade deal by 47% to 33%.

    His approval rating, which was always bad, is now down to 38 percent, and is continuing to drop like a stone. These are unheard of numbers a month into s president, and clearly demonstrate immediate, widespread voter remorse. I mean it even took Bush an illegal war on lies and sanctioning torture to get numbers that low.

    All that's left for Trump are his hard core base. The people who, as long as he goes after the press and brown people, will always love him.

    Opinion polling is the paste that holds a medium deuce together.

    The Dow's up 11% since the election, & business confidence is high.

    Speaker Ryan says that they're on track to have the bulk of the major work complete in terms of "Righting" our government's direction, complete by the end of '17.... "setbacks" being factored in...


    Look, it's not even a full month into Trump's, ( A Newbie Politician) administration.

    BREATHE.....

    Funny, of all the people I know who voted for Trump, I have yet to see any with buyer's remorse.

    His approval rating is down to 38% in exactly one poll out of a dozen. His average approval rating is 45% which is higher than his favorability was before the election and the fact that the libs are desperate, hysterical and have to resort to lies, distortions and outliers tells all one needs to know about the real situation :D

    I voted Johnson TYVM.

    Here's a bit of news for you. Business drives our economy, & our economy has been stuck on the crapper for a good 10 years+. So yes, Wall St., & the various other markets being stoked, is a good thing...

    Also, it's their monies (Investors, & Businesses) that help win elections.... Regardless of what Ideology is touted by the candidates.

    Guess you can't see the remorse on their faces when they're wearing white sheets on their heads.

    Good point. They may indeed be remorseful now, realizing that they would have been better off with the libs and democrats in the WH.

    I don't know a single person who voted for Trump that wears white sheets on their heads. The left likes to paint that picture. I still support Trump and I have yet to see anybody who regrets voting for him.

    Fake News Lies. Trump's voters love Trump and appreciate the busy month he has had working to implement our agenda. Bryan Pagliano, the lying fat little drunken Kleptocrats IT guy, referred to DOJ for charges.

    Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions today asking Sessions to consider convening a grand jury for bringing charges against fat little lying Hillary Clinton’s former IT guy, Bryan Pagliano. Pagliano was subpoenaed to testify before the committee last year but refused to appear on two occasions. After the second refusal, the Oversight Committee held Pagliano in contempt.

    Because Contemptible Pagliano’s job functions included supporting mobile computing issues across the Department, he was uniquely positioned to answer questions regarding State Department policies and practices for preserving records, as well as the technological procedures utilized to do so. In light of The Contemptible Pagliano’s contumacious conduct in refusing to testify, the Department should bring the matter before a grand jury for its action or file an information charging Pagliano with violating 2 U.S.C. § 192.

    The authority to compel witnesses is integral to Congress’s and the Committee’s investigative powers. Allowing The Contemptible Pagliano’s conduct to go unaddressed would gravely harm Congress’s ability to conduct oversight.

    The Contemptible Pagliano was the person responsible for managing Fat Drunken Hillary Clinton’s private email server. He worked for The Lying Clinton at the State Department while she was Secretary of State but also maintained her clandestine homebrew server in his off hours.

    The Contemptible Pagliano was subpoenaed to appear before the House Oversight Committee twice last September. Mark MacDougall, Contemptible Pagliano’s attorney, argued his contemptible client should not have to appear since he would only be invoking his 5th Amendment right not to testify. Chaffetz insisted he would need to do so in person.

    Contemptible Pagliano did appear and give testimony in a lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch last year. During the deposition he invoking the 5th Amendment around 125 times. No video of the deposition was released but journalist Phelim McAleer made a short film based on the verbatim transcript. Watching this you can see why Pagliano did not want to appear before Congress in public.

    It's a little early to be talking about buyers' remorse

    It's a little early to be talking about economic impact

    Your replies here essentially state the gist of what I'd initially stated.

    The "BREATHE" bit & where I comment about the tenure of Don were where I was trying to convey that.

    Indeed, with Less than a month in, everyone BREATHE, ... Let staff adjust, & let's revisit likely much of all these "News" topics to see where they're at.... In say another 72 days.

    Policy promises included.

    Russia be damned.

    72Days... Let's all try to be virginal for that time period...... Like Virgins....


    LOL.

    Realclear is run by republicans, they always skew to the right with their polling. They do this by picking and choosing which polls to put in. Gallup and pew, for example, are live caller polls, extremely credible. Rasmussen, by contrast, is a known right wing organization that always provide inflated numbers for the right.

    Bottom line is the lastest credible poll is Gallup, and it's has trump at 39%. And after this press conference embarrassment it'll continue to drop.

    Obama took the stock market from what, 6-7k to record highs of 18k+....and yet according to republicans that meant nothing, the economy was horrible. But now suddenly the stock market matters again, what a shock. My question, how do people like you square the constant hypocrisy in your heads?

    Fact is by just about all traditional economic indicators, Obama performed better than any president in modern history, including Reagan. Not that you guys in the fact free right wing bubble would know it.

    No your wrong. It's actually not as bad as you and many on here make it out to be. Where I live in the midwest nobody is discussing politics and nobody I know that voted for him has ever told me they regret voting for him. Those polls are done in a few select locations with maybe 1,000 people or less. I never saw any such poll for Iowa where almost every farmer had a Trump sign in their yard. Those polls are very in accurate and even declared Hillary a winner before the election took place.

    People like you try to make a mountain out of an anthill and that is just not the case here. Most of his supporters had good reasons for voting for him and that will not change any time soon. Trump is saving jobs and working to stop illegals from entering the country. What is wrong with that?

    Trump won 30 of the popular votes, took more than 2,000 counties and 220 democratic strongholds. Some counties had not voted GOP in over 40 years. I don't see anything other then inaccurate polls saying Trump has low approval ratings. You need to stop trying to manipulate everyone when you are the one who is wrong.

    I don't see how he helped the economy when NAFTA lost us over 1 million jobs and I never heard of Obama replacing or bringing any of those jobs back. He let the economy continue to get worse. Did Obama even save any jobs?

    Lol, did he save jobs? He saved millions of them through the reinvestment act (the stimulus). And he oversaw the longest sustained period of job growth in our history, over 15 million new jobs created with 80 consecutive months of job growth.

    And just think, that was with republicans blocking just about everything he wanted to do, like infratcture/jobs bills, because as they routinely prove, republicans don't care about people or country, just power so they can passs legislation to help billionaires.

    Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people. Lol, I mean they elected Bush, twice! And even after that 60mil voted to put Sarah freaking Pailin one 70 year old heart best away from being leader of the free world.

    This country is absolutely bat(*)(*)(*)(*), and now with Trump the laughing stock of the world.

    You can't be serious --- the Stimulus was a $900B disaster, including infrastructure and a windfall for union bosses. Due to baseline budgeting it was more like $900B + 8% per year --- an annual waste of $1T until the sequester stopped the bleeding. Facts are:

    Bush inherited the dot-com implosion. 2001 tax cuts were too little ,,, the 2003 tax cuts stimulated the economy. January total private employment numbers from the BLS top picks query in thousands of employees

    2003 108970
    2004 109240
    2005 111060
    2006 113605
    2007 115411 ------ Democrats take over House and Senate---hold Katrina victims/veterans hostage smack jobs with a 40% minimum wage increase over 3 years
    2008 116042 ------ TARP
    2009 111474 ------ Stimulus
    2010 107310 ------ Obamacare
    2011 108624 ------ Republicans take over House --- Pass Budget Control Act
    2012 111342
    2013 113411 ------- Sequester goes into effect
    2014 115759
    2015 118653 ------- Republicans take over Senate
    2016 121097

    Aside from the Fed keeping interest rates low, seems the Democrats were the problem and Republicans were the solution.

    Gruber, Obama's consultant, had something to say about the stupidity of the voters that allowed them to get away with lying and still get reelected to complete the destruction of healthcare in this country. It's clear that Obama and Gruber weren't talking about just any voter --- they were calling out Democrat-Obama voters as being morons. And sure enough, the morons were surprised when they lost the health plans they liked and the doctors they liked and their only alternative was to be taxed into the Stone Age by the penalty that the Obama regime swore wasn't a tax to the American people --- and swore just the opposite behind closed doors before the Supreme Court.
