Just based on this simple article. R. Alexander Acosta doesn't seem like a bad guy:

Anybody have a rebuttal?

Pew Research Center conducted Feb. 7-12 among 1,503 adults, finds that Trump’s overall job approval is much lower than those of prior presidents in their first weeks in office: 39% approve of his job performance, while 56% disapprove.

The intensity of the public’s early views of Trump is striking: Fully 75% either approve or disapprove of Trump strongly, compared with just 17% who feel less strongly. Nearly half (46%) strongly disapprove of his job performance, while 29% strongly approve.

Paraphrase: "The press is lying."

Minutes later: "I had the biggest electoral college win since Reagan." [Pst...that's a lie]

"I inherited a mess"

"My administration is running like a fine-tuned machine"

Who is this guy kidding? What a strange reality he lives in.

Looking at the tables now. It's stunning how old his base is. He's tickling 70% disapproval among under 30's, and is over 61% with 30-49 crowd. 72% disapproval among women under 50. 59% disapproval among independents.

Republicans are fucked. No wonder they're in hiding. If they turn on him they lose the base, but you can't win elections without women and independents. Chaffetz is probably doing the smart thing: angle for a lapdog position and to hell with your state job.

No tv or streaming access at work. And I prefer to read transcripts for this kind of thing.

When you read Trump's responses, do you do it in his voice in your head?

Was wondering this morning. Where are all the braying blind faith and super vocal supporters he had in places like twitter in the election?
I don't even see them or them arguing anymore not even a little.

It's like reading closed captioning for live television where people are rapidly talking over one another.
