Obama’s Charlottesville tweet is 3rd most-liked ever
Obama message goes viral after Charlottesville violence
.... "No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion," Obama said in the message, quoting the late South African leader Nelson Mandela.
Obama's tweet garnered 2.3 million "likes," the third most popular of all time, according to the Twitter-tracking site Favstar. The message was retweeted 980,000 times. ....
The most-liked tweet of all time was from singer Ariana Grande earlier this year -- saying "from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry" -- after a deadly attack at her Manchester concert.
That tweet dethroned the popular photo tweet from the 2014 Oscars ceremony by actress Ellen DeGeneres. ....

Whatever else he accomplishes, Trump’s sprint to deep unpopularity will be hard to top
.... ...Gallup. His 34 percent approval in that survey marks a new low for the president — and, as Marquette Law School poll director Charles Franklin pointed out on Twitter, it’s a figure that’s lower than the all-time lows of every post-World War II president except the Bushes, Jimmy Carter, Harry Truman and Richard Nixon. His 61 percent disapproval number is higher than the all-time highs for any president in that period except George W. Bush, Nixon and Truman.
.... Here is the comparison with Barack Obama alone. It took Obama 909 days of Gallup polling to hit his low of 38 percent; Trump got to his (current) low of 34 percent in only 200 days of polling. Obama’s all-time high disapproval number — four points lower than Trump’s — came years into his presidency. It took Trump only months. ....
It’s worth noting, too, that Obama’s high and low poll numbers are set in stone. Trump’s could still conceivably get worse.
