Commentary: The Left and Global Elites Misunderstand Trump’s Popularity

President Donald Trump is popular among just over half the country – with a recent YouGov poll showing 49 percent of Americans have a favorable view of the president while 48 percent have an unfavorable view. That said, support for the bedrock of Trump’s America First governing philosophy extends well beyond support for Trump himself.

Trump’s popularity is baffling to those on the left and to certain so-called global allies who are in shock over our decision to re-elect him. But what the global political apparatus really missed leading up to Trump’s second victory – and historic win of the popular vote – is just how popular Trump’s ideas are, far beyond his base, and far beyond how people feel about Trump himself.

  1. That 48% number is self-aggrandizing bullshit, and they know it.

  2. It took me awhile to get Trump, I never watched any programs or tv shows with him..... I thinkI get him now, he's a big thinker that comes up with ideas and throws them out to us, sometimes he acts on them other times it's morphed into another.. He speaks plan English and seemingly gives everyone their chance to do so as well... He's not a stuffed shirt politician constantly trying to shame us for loving our country.. After the dismissal presidents, Carter, Clinton, both Bushes, Ofambass and the scam slo joe Trump is a breath of fresh air..

  3. The Left and Global Elites are pompous assholes and live in a fantasy world of denial when certain indications go against their master plan sort of like the Hollywood assholes. Then when their denial collapses they throw temper tantrums.

  4. The fact the democrats picked David Hogg to lead the DNC is proof enough of how completely out of touch they are.

    If they don't get a clue, they'll go the way of the whigs. I don't think they'll get a clue. I hope the libertarians will replace then as a major party, but it could be the greens.

  5. Put it another way, these elites fail to understand why their ideas have not gained traction.
