Not according to the polls

Three months later the same polls were even worse for Trump

But I am sure the next post will call these polls fake news

I was tempted to agree, but caught myself. That's highly speculative, conspiratorial thinking—the kind of thing Liberals have been accusing the likes of Breitbart, Drudge and Alex Jones of propagating.
 
Whether the Russians' actions actually anointed Trump to the presidency or whether they directly control Trump is yet to be determined. That the Russians *attempted* to interfere in the elections is no longer in doubt.
 
It's also clear by now that The Trump Presidency is a gift to Putin. Trump's erratic behavior, gutting of key agencies and failure to fill thousands of key positions has thrown a lot of essential government work into disarray, particularly at the State Department, a department that was a key Putin nemesis within the US government. Trump's public baffonery is also a gift to Putin as he endeavors to show his own citizens the "foolhardiness" of fully democratic elections that would put a nutcase like this in control of the world's most formidable nuclear arsenal.
 
The way the media has handled this, as well as the election campaign, as if this were the frantic chase after OJ Simpson's white Bronco —except its a chase that's lasted months—also helps bolster Putin's arguments against a fully free press.
 
Whatever the whole truth turns out to be, Putin's already won big.

That Trump has not been incarcerated (yet) for colluding with Putin to throw the election has nothing to do with the FACT that Putin threw the election for Trump.

Free press, that's hilarious.

• The press is as free now as it was during the 2016 Presidential campaign. Some would say that was more than it had been during the previous administration, given that administration's investigations into journalists who were reporting on items not flattering to the white house at the time.
• Putin threw the election to Trump? Pure speculation, sounding like sour grapes to people objective about the outcome.

What the opposition has not figured out is they don't need to do anything but set him off....he will destroy himself in due time. An unstable wack job that embarrasses all Americans wherever they are.

I really feel sorry for the Trump voters that thought they were getting real change and ended up with a worn out sideshow barker.

Really?  Compare the situation in the United States at the beginning and the end of the Bush years, then do the same for the Obama years, and explain how you can conclude that Obama is worse than Bush.
