6 in 10 people who approve of Trump say they'll never, ever, ever stop approvingBy Ryan Struyk, CNN Updated 5:19 PM ET, Thu August 17, 2017
Washington (CNN)Most people who are on the Trump train say they are definitely, absolutely never getting off -- no matter what.
Six in 10 people who approve of President Donald Trump (61%) say they can't think of anything Trump could do that would make them disapprove of his job as President, according to a Monmouth University poll released this week.
Almost an identical number (57%) who disapprove of Trump say they are never going to change their minds on the President's job performance either. This means a majority of Americans (53%) admit they have their opinion of Trump completely, totally and irreversibly baked in.
Interviews for this poll were conducted both before and after protests turned violent in Charlottesville over the weekend, but before Trump's press conference Tuesday doubling down on his comments blaming "both sides" for the clash.

America has to face the fact that POTUS is a white power racist. A KKK/nazi supporter and enabler.
To our everlasting national shame, I might add.

Think about that.

At some point, you got to bite some bitter pills and realize you've been conned.
"Shaking things up" sounds good on TV, but usually ends up in a car crash when road tested.

(6,932 posts)Hitler had die-hard followers right up to the point where they made their family drink poison and then put a gun to their head. Many Trumpanzies won't do that but they'll stick with him to the end.
Makes no difference though...........

(3,546 posts)There are people that will never admit they were wrong, no matter what, especially out loud. I really believe somewhere deep inside they know, but they just can't admit it because they think they're smarter than everyone. I have an x-son-in-law exactly like that. You could put the truth in front of him in black and white and he still wouldn't change. Part of their DNA.
