Project "ZZ". Americans do not trust Trump, and Gorbachev advertises Putin
Dodal Trump's “Stodnevka” in the Oval Office, according to a survey by Lac Research Associates prepared for ABC News and the Washington Post, showed that the president had the lowest approval rating at the corresponding reference point (on the approach to the first hundred days of government ) in opinion polls already with 1945 of the year.
Trump's problems are noted on the site ABC News, very significant. Most of Mr. Trump's opponents are confident that Trump does not have sufficient competence and the temperament that is required for effective work on a high post. Six out of ten doubt his honesty and reliability and do not think that he understands the problems of people like them. Fifty-six percent say he failed to achieve much in the first 100 days. And 55% of respondents generally say that it is inconsistent and does not have firm political principles.
Only 42% of Americans approve of Trump’s presidency today; 53 percent - disapprove. The corresponding average for ex-presidents who performed their duties for about 100 days was 69 and 19 percent. In Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama, rates were 69 and 26 percent.
On the other hand, Trump isn’t as bad as it seems.
Trump's relatively high ratings include 73% approval of his activities aimed at preserving jobs in the United States. Even the majority of Democrats approve of this policy.
In addition, this survey shows that Trump supporters do not repent of their choice. Among those who voted for him in November 2016, 96% today say they have made the right choice. Total 2% regret it. And if today there was a “repeat” of the elections, Trump would have won again.
However, Americans don’t really trust Trump
Is Trump faithful to his campaign promises? “Yes” and “no” - 44 and 41%.
Is it working worse or better than voters expected? “Better” and “worse” - by 35%.
Finally, if forty-two percent say that Trump has done a lot or quite a lot over a hundred days, then 56 percent say little or nothing.
Mr. Obama on his hundredth day showed much better results on all three issues: 60 and 26 percent on fulfilling (non-fulfilling) his promises, 54 and 18 percent on "better than expected" and "worse than expected", and 63 and 36 percent - on the first achievements.
The public does not like the exorbitant financial spending planned by Trump. Total 37 percent approve major changes in federal spending proposed by the new president, while 50 percent disapprove.
Finally, only 34 percent approve of what he gave to his daughter and son-in-law, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner (Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner), positions in his administration. 61% denies the relevance of such appointments.
The material further emphasizes that the current policy under Trump is characterized by a keen party struggle. This also greatly affects the rating, contributing to its reduction.
Why Trump fails in politics explained on his website Paul Craig Roberts.
Roberts' note is called “The Disappearance of President Trump.” It turns out that the president is almost non-existent.
According to the expert, who cited his own many years of experience in Washington, the US Vice-Presidents did not make major foreign policy statements and did not threaten other states with war. Even Dick Cheney did not dare "steal this role from weak President George W. Bush."
However, with Trump, everything changed.
The other day the world witnessed how Mr. Pence threatened North Korea with war. “The sword is ready,” said Mr. Pence, as if he were the commander in chief.
Excuse me, where's Trump?
“As far as I can tell from the many emails I get from him, he's busy marketing his presidency,” Roberts sneers. “As soon as Trump won the election, I began to receive endless offers to buy Trump baseball caps, T-shirts, cufflinks, coffee mugs, as well as requests for a donation of three dollars, which will open for me a lottery where memorabilia will be played out.” Among the latest gizmos - “one of five personally signed [Trump] incredible photos of our historical and large-scale inauguration. ”
For Trump, the presidency is a fundraising position, Roberts said. If his vice president, national security adviser, secretary of defense, permanent representative to the UN, the director of the CIA or someone else would like to start a war somewhere, for Trump this would be an occasion to launch another campaign to promote even more “memorable” Gizmos "- for donating to the top three.
As a result, we see that Mr. Trump is not in a position to manage his ministers, and therefore the US has a Pens engaged in a dialogue with Moscow and Beijing. It is Pence who hints to the Russians and the Chinese that an exchange of nuclear strikes between the USA and North Korea could take place at their borders. Pence is apparently “not so smart” to understand that it is not what Russia and China will “accept.”
The United States today is in favor of war, Roberts said. If the world is “brought to Armegeddon,” the disaster will come from Washington, and not from North Korea, Iran, Russia or China. And this catastrophe, arranged by the White House, will put an end to life on Earth.
While Mr. Trump is worried about his low rating, and the old Roberts is worried about earthlings, the American Time magazine has published an annual list of the hundred most influential people in the world. The list also included Russian President Vladimir Putin. He was included in the “Leaders” section, and an article about him was written by Mikhail Gorbachev.
On According to former president of the USSR, Vladimir Putin, faced with a crisis inherited from its predecessor. Putin "managed to stabilize the situation, preserve the Russian state and strengthen its economic position," Gorbachev lavishes praise.
However, on this pluses, issued to Putin by the ex-president, end. Then come the cons.
At the initial stage, the well-known perestroika believes, “certain measures of an authoritarian character — a kind of manual control” were justified. This then led to costs in the form of reducing the power of parliament, the judiciary and civil society and reducing the independence of the media.
“Over time, the shortcomings became more apparent,” writes Gorbachev. “Economic growth slowed even before the deterioration of relations with the West and sanctions, which are increasingly affecting life.”
Today, the author believes, the internal problems of Russia require an urgent solution: the stagnation of the economy, the decline in living standards; poverty of the masses, corruption, illegal enrichment of the few, degradation of education, health and science.
And every year, addressing the parliament, President Putin himself emphasizes these problems.
According to Gorbachev, these problems cannot be solved without a change in the management system.
By the way, Mr. Trump also hit the journal list. "Time". An article about him was written by Paul Ryan. In addition, another American hawk hit the list of "leaders": General James "The Mad Dog" Mattis (Robert Gates wrote about him). Other famous people are on the leadership list: Kim Jong-un, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Xi Jinping.
So, Donald Trump can not be very sad about his historically low rating. After all, he was on the same list with Putin, Kim Jong-un, Erdogan and Mad Dog, and among such a virtual team you certainly feel cheerful and accomplish the unexpected.
As for the unfulfilled promises, then the chickens in the fall count. Obama had a high rating at the beginning, but a low rating at the end (the difference was about one and a half times), while in Hollande in France the rating for the final fell altogether to a microscopic value of 4%. Putin in Russia ranking when elected in March, 2012 (55%) was noticeably lower than today. Without a doubt, Trump likes the model of winning Putin’s people's trust more than the Obama model. Let's see what rating Donald will have in 2020. Unless, of course, old Roberts is mistaken in his dark predictions, and the planet Earth will not turn into lifeless moons by that year.
