Donald Trump's support plummets to historic new depths

Donald Trump’s support plummets to historic new depths
By Steve Benen 08/03/17 08:00 AM

Eric Trump, who’s ostensibly steering clear of politics and helping run his father’s business, appeared on Fox News this week and boasted about Donald Trump’s broad popularity. “My father has the voice of this country,” he said. “The people of this country love him.”

There’s quite a bit of evidence to the contrary. In the latest Gallup daily tracking poll, released yesterday, Trump’s approval rating fell to 36%, tying his lowest support to date. His disapproval rating, meanwhile, climbed to 60%, which is unheard of for a president who’s only been in office for six months.

They don't see his agenda as foundering. That is all fake news. And the establishment out to get him. It may be harder than they thought to fight the establishment, but they are still fighting hard. yadayada....

It's bs, but they don't know that

Please note that Eric doesn't go to the trouble of identifying what country he's talking about, but I think we can reasonably conclude that he's not talking about the United States.
