As Donald Trump gets ready for his State of the Union Address on Tuesday evening, his public opinion ratings (Gallup Presidential Job Approval polls) are the lowest of any President since 1945, except for his first term first month!
From Harry Truman to Trump, below are the ratings, in order of high to low!
Harry Truman 87
Lyndon B. Johnson 78
John F. Kennedy 72
Gerald Ford 71
Dwight D. Eisenhower 68
Barack Obama 67
Jimmy Carter 66
Richard Nixon 59
Bill Clinton 58
George W Bush 57
Joe Biden 57
Ronald Reagan 51
George H W Bush 51
Donald Trump 45 (2025)
Donald Trump 44 (2017)
So Donald Trump is not gaining approval for his radical, anarchistic, and disruptive domestic and foreign policies, with a majority of Americans uneasy about the direction of the nation!
In the press conference today, Trump announces that the 25% Tariffs on Mexico and Canada will go into effect tomorrow… and the Dow dropped 600 points today.
I just hope European leaders don’t hate us once we eradicate Treasonous Trump.
Second thought…I like the word “eviscerate.”
