Trump's approval tops 50%, left still shilling tax cuts bad for us

You've got to be incorrigibly in opposition to reality if you want the American people to somehow believe that tax cuts are bad for us, Obamacare bends the cost of health care downward, and higher salaries and more jobs are just terrible.

A new Rasmussen tracking poll shows that President Trump's approval has risen to 50%, with 49% stating some degree of disapproval, meaning that more Americans approve of President Trump than disapprove. This is a first, and it knocks another leg out from under the argument that President Trump is disastrous.

So all the Beltway chatter about "chaos" in the Trump White House is a non-starter. All the "Russia, Russia Russia" yak is a loser for the Democrats promoting it. All the impeachment talk is rubbish. All the media coverage about gun control, terrorist attacks, America's supposed lost influence in the world, and homelessness is utterly irrelevant.

Trump, as a matter of fact, is popular.

And it's not hard to see why.

Tax cuts have exploded through the economy, with multiple chain reactions of benefits raining down on workers. This includes not just less to pay to the taxman, and that's no small thing, but worker bonuses that thousands of industries have given, more jobs to choose from, and rising wages as more of the economy is taken back into action. What's more, the worst of Obamacare is now on the run. No one is now required to buy health insurance plans that mandatorily subsidize some favored special interest groups (such as drug addicts and other people's children's dental needs), and people now have the freedom to purchase health care policies that fit their own needs, not other people's. America, in short, is baaack.

Here's the crazy thing: Democrats are still shilling the line that tax cuts are bad.

The media can only cry ‘wolf’ for so long.

Trump has still not sported protruding horns and held satanic rituals on the White House Lawn, like the media feared.

All in all, life seems to be going on.

And some people like the tax cut bonuses they got, and can see it’s THE MEDIA that are they lying liars.

The media can manufacture all the polling data they want to support the Democrat propaganda attack.

The Consumer Confidence, GDP and Unemployment numbers show how US Voters are actually feeling.

If he wants his numbers to go way up, he should go meet the invaders at the border and make it clear to them that they better leave when their time is up. Put their names and pictures up on the White House website. Put the date on when they have to leave on there, too.

The Ras polls have had top credibility ratings for several years. It would not surprise me to see Trump at about plus 4 to 5 percent by this November. If the republicans can hold Congress this coming time around, look for some pundit heads to explode.

Just like my tagline alludes, the media’s big story the past few weeks has been Stormy Daniels. I think a lot of Trump’s increase poll number is blowback on the media piling on regarding Daniels.

When you think about it, the same thing happened to Clinton during MonicaGate. A lot of folks believe it is irrelevant and hate the media for providing a constant drumbeat about it. It’s human nature to begin defending someone you think is being beaten up unfairly.

CNN even had a panel of female Trump voters and showed them the 60 Minutes interview and found out they ALL, in unison, thought Stormy was doing this strictly for the money and defended Trump. I think CNN was genuinely surprised they couldn’t flip any of them.

IMO, the Stormy story is helping Trump far more than it is hurting with a few prudes. Most of us knew Trump used to be a skirt-chaser in younger days. It isn’t a surprise. But to beat him up for a one-time fling 12 years ago when he wasn’t in politics just seems to be something a lot of voters are willing to forgive and treat with sympathy.

If Republicans think the tax package, alone, will lift them to victory in 2018...they are, as we have always suspected, delusional.

All political benefit from the tax bill was squandered on the spending bill. 100% of it.

This election will be on neutral ground, at best.

The media really scared a lot of people into thinking that Trump was going to deport legal immigrants, put gays in concentration camps, and put women who have had abortions in prison. That’s how bad the fear mongering was. People are staring to see that the media was full of it.
