A 37 % approval poll makes Trump even more dangerous

Remember: 25% would still support him if DID shoot someone on a 5th Ave, so he really is in deep trouble.

When Trump views his presidency as a reality show and has Congressional Republicans and the Supreme Court on his side, God knows what he will do next. War with Iran? Invade Greenland? Declare Martial Law? We should all be very concerned right now.

Perhaps "Incensed," "outraged" or "beyond infuriated"?

Usually they get distracted easily by the other fake issues he voices.
I hope he tanks to the point, they want his deep state ass impeached!

His narcissism and deteriorating mental state make him dangerous. His boot licking toadies make him untouchable.

Trump would just be some random ceo yelling at his minions, a failed kgb project.
But the he could "shoot someone on 5th Ave" thing? He did the presidential equivalent. He ramped up executions of federal death row inmates to gin up support among his base leading up to the election.

6. wasn't that the German Nazi vote in 1932?

Under the right circumstances, a third of the population can inflict fascism on the remaining two thirds.

All we need is the left to keep fighting each other, and for the very wealthy to back the Nazis

dropped around 4 per cent.

July 1932 German federal election

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_1932_German_federal_election

Federal elections were held in Germany on 31 July 1932, following the premature dissolution of the Reichstag. The Nazi Party made significant gains and became the largest party in the Reichstag for the first time, although they failed to win a majority. The Communist Party increased their vote share as well. All other parties combined held less than half the seats in the Reichstag, meaning no majority coalition government could be formed without including at least one of these two parties.




November 1932 German federal election

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_1932_German_federal_election

Federal elections were held in Germany on 6 November 1932. The Nazi Party saw its vote share fall by four percentage points, while there were slight increases for the Communist Party of Germany and the national conservative German National People's Party. The results were a great disappointment for the Nazis, who lost 34 seats and again failed to form a coalition government in the Reichstag. The elections were the last free and fair elections before the Nazis seized power the following year.
