    Trump has been at the center stage of American politics since 2016. Normally when you are there you lose political capital over time. The fact that Trump’s approval and favorability rating is at the highest after 8 years is ridiculously amazing.

      You heard it folks. People temporarily like trump a tiny bit more than they hate him and that’s ridiculously amazing. The bar is in hell.

      It didn’t used to be normal that politicians were so hated and its weird to act like we should be happy about a politician most poeple hate.

        Times have changed. In 1984 Reagan won all states except one. The political landscape is very different now. I don’t see how anyone be able to do something similar no matter how good of a politician that person is.

        To have the highest approval rating after 8 years at the center stage of American politics is amazing. Can you name a few who managed to do that?
