    Only 33% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s overall job performance, down slightly from 38% last month.

    Say wha? That’s not slightly. That’s a massive drop and breaking the barrier.

    That’s worse than Carter’s low by 4 pts and outside the MoE.

      Who could have possibly seen this coming for trump?

      That’s worse than Carter’s low by 4 pts and outside the MoE.

      Carter’s lowest approval rating was received with the arrival of *checks notes* military unrest in Iran. Simply impossible for trump to have see this coming as trump is completely ignorant of history.

        Funnily enough, there are reports that after that F-15 went down, Trump had to be removed from the situation room because he got so panicky. And he was very specifically freaking out about the idea that this was going to be his version of the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. So in this particular case he at least has some vague recollection of history (easier when you actually lived through it). It just wasn’t enough to stop him bumbling face first into a total shitshow, because Trump is, above all else, unbelievably arrogant. He thought he could solve the Iran problem where every other president had failed, at least in his mind. Never mind that Obama made huge progress on Iran and then Trump was the one that tore up his deal.
