Approve (23%) – "The US is being taken seriously again as a world power. I'm very pleased that Europe is waking up to the fact that we've basically gifted them security since WWII. As a soldier stationed in Germany three times, I've seen how much we were spending there. It's about time they pay their fare share of the cost of securing their freedom."
Disapprove (72%) – "Going in, many assumed it would be bad. The reality has been unimaginably worse. Every presidency encounters unexpected problems. This presidency CREATES intractable new problems. Grade school children are taught about Warren Harding's Teapot Dome scandal. Trump actively participates in an average of three major scandals PER WEEK. Here is the good news: 1. America will likely never again elect a doddering 75 year old and 2. Iran will be the LAST petroleum/oil war. We are very slow to learn, but I believe we have at least learned those two key lessons."
"Trumps's second term has been a classic case of how not to run an administration. I can't help but label this a bi-polar administration. He flits from the topic at hand to the curtains in the white house, the arch, UFC, the reflecting pool, ad nauseum. I keep thinking that these are trivial issues, not presidential issues. Steve Bannon was correct when he said during Trumps second term they would "flood the zone", with so many issues that the media and the public wouldn't be able to focus on any on issue for any proper amount of time. He nailed that thought as this has definitely come to pass. The wounds of this administration are self-inflicted."
"I do not approve of President Trump's performance to date. He has failed to deliver many of the items he campaigned on, including keeping us out of unnecessary wars, lowering grocery and gas prices and making America great. We were a well respected country world-wide before his presidency while still having problems needing to be solved. President Trump's attempt at retribution and his obsession with calling people names is totally unacceptable for the leader of the free world. I agree, Europe needs to step up in preparing for their own defense. I agree immigration needed to be controlled compared to the inner in which the Biden administration conducted immigration. I agree Iran should not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons and I agree fraud and government corruption needs to be attacked and we need to hold those accountable for what they have done. I don't agree in the manner in which President Trumps conducts business to accomplish these things. Strong arming and calling people names, sometimes obscene names, is totally unacceptable."
"I am thankful that people are pushing back, although it is frightening to do so. The Executive Branch has too much power and that was not the system in which our country was built."
Unsure/other (5%) – "It's so hard to make a reasonable decision about the administration's performance. There are so many factors at play. My emotional reaction to what's going on is disapproval, but I am aware that there are thousands if not millions of factors at play in outcomes and results, and that I (and the American people) have incredibly limited knowledge of why and how decisions are made. A lot of President Trump's behavior and statements feel erratic and wild, hard to understand. And yet the man has been wildly successful in many endeavors and as a businessman, it seems unlikely to me that there's not a bunch of underlying reasons for decisions he's made. It's confusing, and while I'll never like or approve of the man himself, it's hard to make an objective call on the results of his policies. The economy feels like it's in the tank, so it seems straightforward, but the global economy is also complex. It's hard to draw causation from our couches."
