Those numbers suggest that the only people who are having second thoughts about him are those who didn’t vote for him but gave him the benefit of the doubt when he took office. That’s not going to be enough to slow him down.
At this point I am just very grateful to the financial markets for at least having a sense of self-preservation if nothing else. It’s the only thing that seems to have been able to make Trump change course.
