Is President Trump’s Baseness Shrinking the Republican Base?
President Trump entered the White House in January of 2017; by the end of his first month in office, Trump had a net disapproval rating in only six liberal states: California, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland and Hawaii. By the end of September of 2018, however, Trump’s disapproval disease had spread to 29 states.

President Trump’s Selfish Nationalism is Self-Defeating
According to U.S. President Donald Trump, a globalist “is a person that wants the globe to do well, frankly, not caring about our country so much. And you know what?

Couplets: “King of the Expedient”
If Trump banishes Mueller will Republicans banish him? Offhand I’d say the odds are much skinnier than slim. It’s going to take some form of electoral disobedience To evict a president who demands we pledge allegiance To him, to him, to him, to him, to him, to him–to Him! (“Fake news” if he should lose, for truth is but his whim: He may have … Read More Couplets: “King of the Expedient”
