Some #100hardtruths on the Law
"Donald Trump ends his 100 days with the lowest approval rating of any U.S. President in the history of Gallup’s poll, begun in 1953. The reality is that Americans are paying attention. They do not believe Trump’s lies, and are resisting. Republicans are listening: Trump has been unable to move a single piece of legislation requiring Congressional action even though his party controls the White House and both chambers of Congress. The only policies he’s succeeded in implementing are those he does himself. These have been disastrous, and the American public, the courts, the media, and policy makers have all responded." (Antonia Juhasz, #95)
