Because approval ratings matter, amiright?

Different polling outfits put Trump at varying levels of approval, but the RealClearPolitics average had him at 39.8 percent Tuesday, while the weighted average from FiveThirtyEight had him at exactly 39 percent. Not great numbers, but still better than Clinton. On Day 138 of his presidency, just 37.8 percent of Americans approved of the job he was doing, according to FiveThirtyEight.

This isn't surprising. Trump got a higher percentage of his popular vote than Clinton ever got.
The further we get away from it chronologically, the more remarkable a loss it appears for Clinton in 2016: first time a Clinton actually won the vote, and that's the one time they lose the election.

Trump should probably hire Leon Panetta for his Chief of Staff.

And telling the world he preferred boxers, bragged on dodging the draft, and grab all the consensual and non consensual P+ssy that got within ten feet of him.
But not to hijack, couldn't care less what MSM reports his approval rate. He had the approval of 304 electoral college votes. If he gets 270 in 2020, the melt is guaranteed to continue through 2024.

Polling numbers this soon into a Presidency are like pres-season sports rankings: they mean nothing.
Let's give it a year and see where we lie.
What I find ironic is that Clinton in the 90s espoused a lot of the same views Trump does today. Clinton walks on water by Dem standards, and Trump is "literall Hitler."

You serious?

Trump needs something similar to the technology boom so everyone can pretend he was a good president 20 years from now.

You made the claim you provide the evidence.
Clinton was a major free trade guy. Trump essentially ran on building a wall, getting rid of Obamacare, and killing free trade.

Clinton 1995 State of Union Speech excerpts:
You know, for years before I became President, I heard others say they would cut Government and how bad it was, but not much happened. We actually did it. We cut over a quarter of a trillion dollars in spending, more than 300 domestic programs, more than 100,000 positions from the Federal bureaucracy in the last 2 years alone. Based on decisions already made, we will have cut a total of more than a quarter of a million positions from the Federal Government, making it the smallest it has been since John Kennedy was President, by the time I come here again next year.
It's time for Congress to stop passing on to the States the cost of decisions we make here in Washington. I know there are still serious differences over the details of the unfunded mandates legislation, but I want to work with you to make sure we pass a reasonable bill which will protect the national interests and give justified relief where we need to give it.
Nothing has done more to undermine our sense of common responsibility than our failed welfare system. This is one of the problems we have to face here in Washington in our New Covenant. It rewards welfare over work. It undermines family values. It lets millions of parents get away without paying their child support.
It keeps a minority but a significant minority of the people on welfare trapped on it for a very long time.
I want to work with you, with all of you, to pass welfare reform. But our goal must be to liberate people and lift them up from dependence to independence, from welfare to work, from mere childbearing to responsible parenting. Our goal should not be to punish them because they happen to be poor.
I know the Members of this Congress are concerned about crime, as are all the citizens of our country. And I remind you that last year we passed a very tough crime bill: longer sentences, "three strikes and you're out," almost 60 new capital punishment offenses, more prisons, more prevention, 100,000 more police.
All Americans, not only in the States most heavily affected but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it.
WOW!

Go and listen to Clinton's State of the Union (not sure which one) but he and Trump have a lot of similarities when it comes to immigration, securing the borders, etc. Economics is the issues they disagree with most, but there's overlap in the rest.
My point being: Clinton was moderately liberal in the 90s, and Trump is slightly conservative today. The chasm between the two is huge, and liberals would have you believe Trump is this ultra-conservative nut job -- he's not.

Cool. That worked out well for Clinton in the 1994 Midterms right?
