[h=3]Why Are Trump's Poll Number's Improving? - The Atlantic[/h]
Excerpt :
It would be easy to read the headlines this week and conclude that the Trump administration is in even more trouble than normal. The White House still can’t get its story straight on Staff Secretary Rob Porter’s departure amid domestic-violence accusations. Chief of Staff John Kelly seems to be losing support from his subordinates and his boss. And the boss himself is stubbornly refusing to offer even a wisp of sympathy to victims of abuse.
This interpretation wouldn’t be wrong—these scandals are real and they are disturbing on a number of fronts—but it threatens to eclipse the ways in which the political picture has improved in recent weeks for both President Trump and his sometimes uneasy Republican allies.
First, the president’s personal standing has rebounded. Trump remains historically unpopular for a first-term president, but against that low baseline, he’s seen improvement. FiveThirtyEight’s aggregator of approval ratings puts him at 41 percent, well below where any of his predecessors in the modern era were at this moment in their terms, but his highest point since mid-May, around the time he fired FBI Director James Comey, disclosed classified information to Russians, and saw a special counsel appointed to investigate him.

Apparently the *moral majority* no longer exists. I remember the days when thrice married adulterers were not cheered on and defended via the "fake news" and "whatabout" excuses ...
His reward should be .... being allowed to resign immediately on the condition of receiving a pardon. It's more than he deserves, but at least our country would be 100% safer.
The poll numbers don't lie. Despite the lies and attacks that have been levied non-stop since 2015, Trump is victorious again. The man just can't lose.
I guess you take what good news you can, when you can.
"He's despised by more people than any other president, but it's not as bad as it was a few weeks ago. It's a lot worse than it was when he was inaugurated, though."

Washington spent trillions building up foreign countries while allowing OUR OWN infrastructure to fall into a state of total disrepair. No more! It's time to REBUILD, and we will do it with American WORKERS, American GRIT, and American PRIDE

I have stated my concerns with Amazon long before the Election. Unlike others, they pay little or no taxes to state & local governments, use our Postal System as their Delivery Boy (causing tremendous loss to the U.S.), and are putting many thousands of retailers out of business!

It's no surprise by now to me, but just searching "economy is booming" and "trump economy" or booming economy etc, pulls up up months old results. You can't hardly find or hear good things about Trump unless you search harder. Great rally yesterday.
[h=3]Trump is winning the trade war — for now – POLITICO[/h]
Excerpt : has the upper hand in his trade war | Photograph by Mark Peterson for ReduxEconomists like to argue that everyone is a loser in a trade war, but U.S. President Donald Trump is chalking up some early victories.
Deploying the same bullying tactics he used to squeeze rivals in the real estate business, Trump has used the threat of steel and aluminum tariffs to exact a string of big concessions.
After letting allies beg for two weeks to be spared from the new duties, the president announced last week that he would grant temporary reprieves to those countries that would agree, by May 1, to help America combat its yawning trade deficit.
While French President Emmanuel Macron insists that the EU will not be forced into helping out America at gunpoint, many countries seem to be lining up to give Trump what he wants. In sectors ranging from steel to cars, countries and big business groups from Germany to South Korea are flinching in the face of Trump’s hardball onslaught.
“It doesn’t matter to Trump whether this will hit back at the U.S. economy in the longer term,” said Hosuk Lee-Makiyama, director of the European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE). “It’s a political initiative, not an economic measure. Just by keeping the initiative, you are forcing the others to engage.”

Trump declares April as National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month
Excerpt : President Trump, who faces sexual misconduct accusations from numerous women, on Friday declared April as National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month.
"Sexual assault crimes remain tragically common in our society, and offenders too often evade accountability," Trump's presidential proclamation read.
Since 2001, the U.S. has observed April as sexual assault awareness month, with some advocates holding events to mark the month since the 1990s, according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center. Both former president Barack Obama and Trump previously used presidential proclamations to raise awareness for the issue in April.
Since Trump last designated the month in April 2017, a national reckoning around sexual assault and harassment has occurred with the #MeToo movement. According to a USA TODAY survey, 94% of women in the entertainment industry say they experienced some form of sexual harassment or assault during their careers in Hollywood, where the movement first started.
"We must respond to sexual assault by identifying and holding perpetrators accountable. Too often, however, the victims of assault remain silent," Trump's 2018 proclamation continued.

MAGA: Trump Tops 50% Approval Rating | Daily Wire
President Trump's approval rating has hit 50% in the Rasmussen Reports daily presidential tracking poll.
His disapproval rating stands at 49%. "The latest figures include 33% who Strongly Approve of the way the president is performing and 39% who Strongly Disapprove," Rasmussen reported.
That puts Trump's overall job approval rating "ahead of where Barack Obama’s was at this stage of his presidency."
Guns, immigration boost Trump's approval to 50% — RT US News
Trump’s approval numbers have hovered in the low to mid-40s for much of the last year, but have rallied in recent months. His overall job approval rating is now ahead of where Barack Obama’s was at this stage of his presidency.
These latest numbers come just hours after the president took to Twitter to blast Mexico for failing to do its part in stopping migration from Central America. In a series of tweets, Trump declared DACA “dead,” called again for a border wall, and seemed to mix up Mexico’s northern and southern borders.
Trump’s stance on gun control also appears to have struck a chord with the public.
Following an op-ed by a retired Supreme Court Justice calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment, Trump’s vocal pro-gun response found favor with Americans. Despite anti-gun marches and round-the-clock television coverage, Rasmussen reported that most Americans outright reject repeal of the amendment.

THE SECOND AMENDMENT WILL NEVER BE REPEALED! As much as Democrats would like to see this happen, and despite the words yesterday of former Supreme Court Justice Stevens, NO WAY. We need more Republicans in 2018 and must ALWAYS hold the Supreme Court!

Do you have a source for that quote?
It kinda has a built-in clause that says if government tries to, we have the right to use our weapons against them.
