What some find most frightening of all is the relative lack of resistance so far. Trump’s approval rating equals his best ever mark as president at 47%, according to a recent NBC News poll, although a majority – 51% - disapproves of his performance. Some 55% of voters approve of his handling of border security and immigration, while 43% disapprove.

Setmayer, who now leads the Seneca Project, a women-led super political action committee, commented: “The fact that Donald Trump’s approval rating is still in the mid-40s should scare the hell out of every American who understands the value of our constitutional republic, the freedoms that we enjoy and the rule of law because what he is doing is categorically against everything this country was founded on.”

    Absolutely moronic headline. It was authoritarian in 2016. This is a fascist dictatorship.

      When The Guardian can’t decide if it wants to appease the fascist propaganda or not.

    As long as corporate news outlets and social media platforms continue to control the narrative, they can spin stories in Trump’s favor to keep his approval rating artificially high as he plunges the country into despotic wreck and ruin.
