the most unpopular president elect in decades.

Anyone who plays an accordion can't be that unpopular.

Obama did a "best in class" job in some ways.

We are a more divided population than we have ever been.

We are are averaging higher deficits than ever before and have been doing so since the big 0's first day in office.

He has somehow managed to alienate both Arabs and Jews. The NATO countries are fearful we are pulling out of Europe or afraid to help is needed. China is expanding. Russia is expanding. ISIS/Al Qaeda/Hezbola and the rest are growing fast. Putin is laughing at Obama and the US.

Obama was the first president to be at war for every day of his 8 year administration.

He was the first president to never have posted a 3% growth rate in any of his years in office.

We seem to be sinking into something. How deep does a "puddle at his feet" need to be to drown an entire country?

Where he was on the ballot, he did pretty good.

Also: dumb comparison.

Sure -- but he was absolutely hated all through the South for his anti-slavery stance.

The only comparison between Lincoln and Trump is that many people hate(d) both - that's about it.

Lowering taxes isn't responsible fiscal policy in the state of debt we're in.
You'll get to that 65% number in your head, regardless of what any media outlet ever reports.
Trade balance and justice are just empty words to Trump. He has given us no real plans to address these issues.

WTF is "sheople"? You need to quit hyperventilating.

I don't "dislike" Trump.
As a bloviating narcissist with no public service experience in his entire life, I simply consider him a poor fit for the presidency.

Public service is not a particularly good preparation for a person who is charged with executing the duties of bing a chief executive. Having been a chief executive seems to be a pretty good preparation for being a chief executive. I find it astonishing that libs can't seem to grasp this.

Lowering taxes is not a part of Obama's policies or DNA. Increased debt and deficits, greater divides in the population and distrust among social and economic groups is what Obama is exceptionally good at increasing.

The employment participation rate is a published figure from the BLS. For your education and information:

"Real Plans" and measurable results are very different things. When a company moves abroad and imports to the US from that new base, that is a negative to the balance of trade. He's not even in office yet and Trump is turning that tide.

When we are confronted with failing approaches and policies and are promised more of the same despite the failure, this is an insult to logic.

Sheople? This is the group of people that accept the lies and distortions of the political and agenda driven despite what they see with their own eyes. Eyes can also be used to view a mirror.

The ways in which the house is divided against itself don't have a thing to do with Trump.

How does stating facts about his outcomes amount to demonizing.

I did not use the Liberal tactics of name calling or personal assassination.

If demonization means to you speaking the truth, you really need to review the dictionary for a better definition than the one you hold.

Perhaps, instead of saying that I am attacking your hero, you could offer evidence that what I posted is not true.

I don't think you understand the term "public service". If you do, and you don't think the President is (or should be) a public servant, then you don't understand the values our nation was founded upon.

And I'm not interested in your views on Obama. If I was I would have asked or engaged your comments in an Obama-related thread.

It's funny too that so many in the Trump Cult feel obligated to deflect criticism of Dear Leader with the response that "He isn't even President Yet!", yet simultaneously they want to credit him with anything good that happens in the country today.

Very true.

The usual gang of idiots is bemoaning the injustices of the world as it has been changed by Obama and are blaming Trump for the outcomes produced by Obama.

What's wrong with this picture?

Not anything, just those things that he has obviously affected with his actions.

My parents were the caretakers of the household in which I was raised. As such, they could reasonably be viewed as "family servants" and yet the things they did were not approved by me particularly in the areas of Ice Cream Serving or Allowance Increases.

Trump proposes to help to create an environment in which the average working guy can prosper. In which graduated college students can find great jobs. In which employers are impressed by the prospects of making more money in the USA and are therefore inspired to build and hire within our borders. What is so dangerous in this?

Your last comment is confusing. I didn't write that he "isn't even president yet". Are you hearing your voices again?

There has been a growing divide for decades. It didn't start with Trump OR Obama.

you dont state facts you just try to create a right wing world
 
I'd say with the rat strategy and the constant efforts by the media and the all too eager willingness of the mindless muppets to push and promote the most inane lies...his unpopularity is rather unsurprising.

Hmm...You had a rough start here, but I'm kind of impressed that you managed to shoehorn some truth in there at the end.
Well done.
 
I tend to think that the people who are downright hysterical about a Trump presidency might be pleasantly surprised that he's more progressive than they think. They'll most likely never admit it, though.

It's not the people who voted for him that are making the ride bumpy. It's the traitorous Left.

Trump unpopular? According to whom?

He's hated by the left (which almost any Republican president would be, so that's a given), but he's also hated by many on the right as well (and not just establishment Republicans and low-info voters). I'd say that's pretty unpopular.
