I didn't fall for anything, I am only quoting those sources.

That's not Gallup, or Brookings Institution. or Politifact. or anything else.

No its not cherry picked. Links to the sources and data are above. But if you look at the charts it is not all bad news for Trump. Some of it is surprisingly (to me) good news for him.

I'm sorry that the promises you voted for him for weren't kept - that sucks for sure. But the data that the charts were based on is backed up. You can see all of Obama's promises here

If you look at both charts side by side, its see to see that the approval rating has been pretty steady (45 in Feb 2017, to 37 in Jan/Feb 2019, up to 46 in One, and down to 42 in May. Again, both of our charts are correct.

No my good friend. I'm not ignoring that fact. If the news had good things to say about him, they would, but lets face it - Trump has a lot of bad stuff going on all around him. Anything good he might be doing is severely overshadowed by all the bad stuff he is doing / has done. I like that trump likes Space and Nasa. I'll always give him that.

Fox was insane in their terrible treatment of President Obama. Do you think they were good to him?

No other person could do that.

I'll give you that. It's easy for me to say that Trump is an idiot, but its possible that he could be a genius. He's surrounded by possible corruption and criminal acts, lies constantly and does so with a smile, is 700 years old and still has the charisma to make auditoriums full of people cheer for him. I absolutely do not know how he does it.
And lets fucking face it - the guy has a great smile.
I mean.. wow the guy's 70 years old and except for being overweight, he looks great. I hope I look that good at that age.
