Disapproval rose to 62%, the worst of his two terms in office, amid economic issues since launching his war against Iran

Six months out from November’s midterm US elections, Donald Trump’s disapproval rating has reached 62% – the worst of his two terms in office – according to a new Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.

The US president received his worst ratings on the cost of living and other economic issues since launching his deeply unpopular war against Iran in February, which has plunged the global economy into an oil crisis and sent gas prices rocketing to a four-year high.

Trump achieved majority disapproval on his management of every issue measured, including Americans disapproved of his handling of that war by 66% to 32%, while a staggering 76% disapproved and only 23% approved of his handling of the cost of living. Two-thirds of Americans now feel the country is headed in the wrong direction.

      Or when it is proven he raped children in the past. He should not only be removed from office, he should be in prison

        Hell, he was proved to have raped an adult woman in a valid court of law! THAT should be grounds for both removal from office and prison. We shouldn’t have to lower the bar to even more monstrous deeds. A proven rapist should not be in office. Full stop.

          This is one of many reasons, he shouldn’t have been allowed to run for office in the first place. The insurection is another one

            Don’t forget trying to coerce state election officials of trying to “find” more votes aka commit election fraud.

      Or a judge that he himself appointed can’t “indefinitely postpone” sentencing when he’s convicted of 34 felonies. Or that someone convicted of 34 felonies directly resulting from election interference can’t even fucking run. But here we are…
