Donald Trump’s political mandate is historically small

Sorry, man, I'm just a member of the majority sharing a small dose of truth about Trump. You can attack me all you like, it does nothing to improve his numbers, his favorability or appeal.

I'm not attacking you.

I'm simply pointing out that you are a one-note, unidimensional being here on ATS.

I will heretofore ignore any of your future threads as I already know what you're going to say anyway...

You should start getting used to the sound of your voice in an empty room. I bet you can already begin to hear the echo....echo...

Again... your attacks do nothing to improve Trump's rating. Rather than focus on the messenger, I suggest you try to understand why Trump has such low approval.

Maybe it has something to do with his threatening rhetoric, or maybe his Fraud settlement, or his Nazi-like Alt-Right Chief Strategist and dog whistle for White Nationalists... maybe something about the way he inspires hate groups. Maybe his support for war crimes and authoritarian policy, or his terrible impulse control and penchant for conflict.

So many factors... but I'll tell you this. Trump's exceptionally low favorability is a very good sign for America.

It means most of us have not been seduced by the Alt-Right/fake news rhetoric.

Same old 0 content 0 factual matter threads by the same sore guy. You lost Brexit, you lost US elections, you will keep losing.
Your tiresome rhetoric will not change it. No, he didn't lose the popular vote. He won both.

Deal with it

The greatest generation rid us of a Hitler. Then they had tons of kids. The baby boomers.

Spoiled rotten, self-righteous baby boomers grew up to give us ANOTHER damn Hitler.

Trump ran his campaign using Hitler's playbook. He admires evil leaders. And yet somehow he tricked Christianity, which is not supposed to support evil, into supporting him.

Another shameful mark on Christianity. Or should I say Conspirianity.

Or maybe you have been brainwashed into thinking the way you do.

Seriously, step back and examine your stance on this. You really wanted a globalist war monger that only had inspirations to expand her power and influence?

Completely agree. It is shameful and very few of them see it.

As a Trump supporter, I have to say he is wrong on this issue. Burning the American flag is a valid form of protest, and therefore free speech.

Per the thread title, in my opinion one could almost say Trump has a mandate to get impeached.

And given the way he's handling his businesses, it's not unlikely.

30 years of conservative talk radio propaganda has produced a thoroughly brainwashed demographic which has been waiting for The Conspirianity messiah to come along.

So now we got a global wave of right wing nationalism brewing, right when we all really need to work together to combat climate change.

It looks like the world wants to saber rattle while the climate collapses. That unfortunately will lead to more refugees. Which will lead to more xenophobia. Which will in turn lead to more nationalism. Then comes war. How long until some fool uses WMDs?

Which will mean more refugees and eventually our neighbors get caught between a rock and a heartless place.

Then more refugees because surprise we didn't do anything about climate change when we had a chance because trump. Then comes the genocide.

Oh, I so agree with that.

I've watched it happen.

Those are a few key points from the article. I encourage everyone to read it. There has been much discussion about Trump's performance issues lately with this election and what it means for his presidency. I think this should serve as a reality check not only to Trump, but also to his supporters, that as much as you might like Trump, MOST of the country does not feel the same. The country actually went into mourning after Trump's election. Real mourning. People compared it to how they felt after 9/11. You might laugh at that-- but those are your fellow Americans, your friends, and your family. As the article states, his political mandate is... extremely small. Very, very small mandate. But...

Your opine is truly funny.
Trump has had no performance issues as he is scheduled to start performing in early jan of 2017. Your reality check is premature. MOST of the country did not go into mourning after the election. You and perhaps those in your bubble did; the entire nation did not. As to his mandate, the people saw fit to give him all he needs, the house and the senate; that has NOT happened since early in the 20th century so I would say that is a pretty large mandate. Large enough to do what needs to be done with NO assistance from the minority party. He will get his cabinet that he wants, he will get his SCOTUS justices that he wants, and he will pass the legislation that he wants. That is a pretty large mandate if you ask me.

I ran out of toilet paper this morning.Luckily there was a Washington Post nearby..

Millions of people in a few states on each coast voting for the same person does not represent the entire country. Take a look at the electoral map and see how red it is.

I'd rather look at the demographic of what location has the most college degrees.

Highest economical earners.

Higher scores in education.

Is the most diverse in population.

No one likes Trump. Even the people I know who voted for him are seriously regretting their choice. They thought they got some political renegade and instead they got a dipsht conspiracy theorist who doesn't have an ounce of intellect. This isn't going to get better. Like any civil and thoughtful person thinks a wall will actually work. Such a dumb idea that panders to the worst of America.

What does a "mandate" get you anyway? If the President's party is the majority of the Senate and House, who cares about terminologies. Donald Trump is going to get things done, regardless of how people label his election as President.

Truth.

Educated voters did not vote for Trump. It's a fact.

The people you know who already regret their vote for Donald Trump likely voted for him for all the wrong reasons.

They'll tell them whatever and draft them as always.
Drafts suck.
