4 Reasons Trump's Approval Ratings Are Dropping Besides "Democrats"

He's not doing a good job at representing all Americans.

4 Reasons Trump's Approval Ratings Are Dropping Besides "Democrats"
Business Insider

In the past six months of Donald Trump's presidency, his approval ratings have dropped severely. Only 36 percent of American's agree of his job performance, a 6 percent difference since the 100-day mark in April, a Washington Post/ABC News poll shows. In fact, his approval rate is so low, it rivals with Gerald Ford's approval rate back in 1975.

His disapproval rating has hit 58 percent, an increase of 5 percentage points since the last poll. Now, why is this?

Well, he's withdrawn the US from the Paris climate deal, which is a major setback in trying to prevent climate change, because global warming does in fact exist, despite what he has posted on Twitter.

He's allowed a ridiculous health care bill to be made, and now all of Congress is fighting over it - at this point, it's not going to be passed, but has frightened millions of Americans. He campaigned that he was representing all people and wants the best for everyone. Is that what getting rid of ObamaCare is going to do? Make all people feel safe?

The only thing exploding is the respect people have for you.

Not only this, but when he went to France as the guest of honor, and upon arrival, immediately told the French prime minister's wife that she's "in such good shape." His wife was standing right next to him. It seems a little odd that the first things out of his mouth weren't, "Thank you for having me."


Oh, and did we forget about Trump firing FBI Director Comey because he was digging into the Russians meddling in our presidential election? It's all a bit fishy.

Don't get me wrong, since he has been elected, some positive things have occurred:

1. Women have an 87 percent increase in pursuing political jobs since he's taken office.

2. "Saturday Night Live" has the highest ratings it's had in 20 years.

3. Journalism has now been rising (people are reading the newspaper again).

4. Planned Parenthood has received hundreds of thousands of private donations.

It's no surprise his approval ratings are dropping since he's only doing things that help himself and the rich. He loves to call Hillary Clinton "crooked", but more than half of America agrees Donald Trump is the most "crooked" of them all.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
