    Who cares honestly? You need a hobby. This is a basketball site, not a place to be a left wing moron.

    Don’t they have a right to be anywhere they want? Just like you have the right to go to a rally for the opposing party which you support. I believe that’s called being delusional..

    Being a popular president is the result of doing a great job. Economy is booming, unemployment is down, taxes are down. NoKo disarming and we're just beginning.

    I guess you're right, busted.

    If that is legitmately the case, it's pretty pathetic.

    Though I'm sure his popularity is at a all time low for a time span when the economy is booming by traditional metrics(unemployment rate, stock market etc).

    Good on Trump for riding the boom that started in 2014 though. I'm sure his supporters are uneducated enough to not having the ability to follow basic trend lines and curves .

    Not sure why attending a political rally is cause for controversy or derision. LeBron James not only went to a Hillary Clinton rally in 2016, but he got on stage and spoke.

    Mr. Obama had a 47% approval rating on day 516 in office. Trump is at 45% on day 513. Play around with the Gallup poll site... it's fun to learn things:

    https://news.gallup.com/interactives/185273/presidential-job-approval-center.aspx

    EDIT: I am at work and not focused so I put up some bad numbers earlier. The lead I reference for Obama above is right about at the margin of error so I did not make my point effectively at all. I was going to erase this but, I'll own it.

    Ya but one those people actually had nuanced knowledge in Constitutional law, macroeconomics, received their education (Yale law) on their own academic merit and is at least in the ballpark of competence required to manage the world's largest bureaucracy and command the world's most powerful military while the other doesn't even know the difference between life and health insurance.

    So ya what I'm saying is that Turmp not being quailified for the presidency competency wise is as close to an objective statement for a traditionally subjective opinion there can be.

    Therefore anyone who supports Trump is either a blithering idiot or just wants a rubber stamper shoving along GOP tax cuts to the top 1% and couldn't care less about anything else.

    This does belong in the D&D so I'll spoiler my response:

    Hillary Clinton is not a white supremacist. Your comparison is not equal.

    Wow it's shocking that someone would defend that!
    I mean you have to be dumb as rocks to make a twitter post saying it is ok to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to government contractors to separate children and house them in camps.

    Does she realize that she looks like a dumb B now that literally every politician opposes the policy and Trump "reversed" it?

    ^Remember folks, in newspeak having a negative approval rating and toxic favorabilty is "being a popular president"

    I don't think Trump himself is a white supremacist. I don't think he has ever fleshed out an ideology for himself. He isn't introspective enough for that.

    I just think he panders to them because they are easy votes. Jingoist nationalism is the most zombie like ideology in existence. It's all vieled in symbolic gestures like the flag and platitudes about immigrants with no nuance.

    So it's a win win for Trump because he doesn't have to provide nuance which he is horrible at and the ideology he touts is followed by zombies.

    You do realize that Trumps approval rating for his presidency is the worst since Gallup started polling after WW2 right? (Right now happens to be his highest approval rating since the 2 months after he took office?

    Probably not.

    Should be in another forum

    Politics are best on a different blog. We all love the rockets on this site.

    I don't disagree with you at all @fchowd0311. These are dark times.
