G. Elliott Morris says that there are three issues weighing him down now. The first is the mass deportations:
According to Gallup, only 35% approve of Trumps immigration policy, with 62% disapproving one of his worst net ratings of any poll. Moreover, more than twice as many Americans strongly disapproved (45%) as strongly approved (21%) of the way the president is handling immigration.
Opinion is worse on deportations specifically. According to a new Quinnipiac University poll, 59% of adults disapprove of Trumps deportation policy. Nearly two-thirds of voters (64%) say they prefer giving most undocumented immigrants in the United States a pathway to legal status, while 31% say they prefer deporting people here without authorization. Over half of all adults, and nearly 1 in 5 Republicans, disapprove of ICE.
Tariffs come second:

42% approval? What the fuck has he done to approve of? He wakes up every day planning to hurt somebody. Hes a sick person. Dangerous. Someone not to approve of.

You think Stalin, Mao or Hitler pearl-clutched over their low approval numbers?
