    Given the downturn in approval ratings (30-40%) and the onslaught of critique of his mental state and personality, as well as him being played by NK....do you still support Trump?

    The simple answer is I never did.

    The long answer is I probably never will. I acknowledge that Drumpf will never change the way he is, BUT I will give him my conditional approval by January 21st 2019. My conditions are that he is still in office after 2 years (inauguration day does not count), there is no economic crash by then, and the United States has NOT intervened militarily in Iran or any other country they are currently not at war in.

    I will sit quietly alone in a room and think long and hard about my political persuasions on January 21st if my conditions I listed are met. If I am unable to see things the MAGA way, I'll stop talking about American politics and focus exclusively on other countries. Keep in mind however that my acquired approval will instantly flip to disapproval the moment one of my conditions is reversed AFTER January 21st.

    What is Sad is that YOU PEOPLE continue to dodge real questions in order to avoid dealing with the regret of putting this guy in office. By the way...I did not vote this time but now regret not voting for HillBill.

    I dunno, are there a lot of people who voted for Trump but now regret it and wished they voted for Hillary instead? I'm not saying they don't exist, but I doubt there are many of them.

    I'm sure there is a good percentage of the Republicans that voted for trump but have failed to drink his kool-aid and now regret their choice. I think they would be embarrasing to admit they helped put that idiot in the White House.

    Probably not many at all but might regret voting for Trump at all.

    The Trump base still is looking back at 2016, while there is a hole in front of them.

    Well the point of this thread (and the many before it) seems to be to try to fish out Trump supporters who have turned against him, and they always seem to come up empty. I think the real issue is more people going the other way.

    I belong to a closed Facebook group of generally Wall Street type moderate Republicans. Prior to the election the Trump supporters were a minority; a large minority, but still a minority. Most who ended up voting for Trump did it grudgingly, expecting him to turn full Democrat once in office. But two things happened:

    The media went insane. Not for a few weeks, but consistently since the election, plunging the entire nation into a conspiracy theory that has dominated the news for a year and a half.

    Trump has actually governed on the right, doing things that other so called conservative GOP Presidents have never done, like slash and burn regulations and stopped pretending we can deal with Palestinian terrorists.

    So now, my moderate Republican Facebook group is pretty strongly pro Trump. Trump is partially responsible but I think the real reason is that the media went so crazy that they effectively left no middle ground for the moderates, so they had to choose.

    The problem with this thread and the others like it is because you see so many Republican and ex-Republican never Trumpers on MSNBC and other cable channels all day that you assume that there is a massive civil war waging between the pro Trump and Bush-like Republicans. Sorry, but that civil war is over and Trumpian forces are victorious. Good luck on your future threads asking Trump supporters when they will abandon him.

    Your premise hangs entirely on there being anything to regret...

    Again -- as Lil Mike wrote -- you actually think that they regret not voting for the Dem Party's Queen of Corruption, Hillary? The only proper response to such a thing is . . . hahahahahahaha!

    Let's see . . . we have politically purchased polling outlets massively heavy weighting Dem Party voters and probably so-called Independents who just so happen to vote for Dem Party candidates all the damn time; and we are supposed to believe THEIR polling results showing that Trump's numbers are in the toilet. Now there's your problem.

    One should perhaps ask instead why if Obama really were as universally adored and worshiped by this nation as the same bought and paid for polling companies and the blatantly leftist allied Mainstream Media insisted did not his hand picked pre-selected replacement -- Hillary Clinton -- NOT manage to smash political upstart Trump into a million scattered pieces?

    Remembered Ronald Reagan? He -- unlike Obama -- actually did have meaningful political coat tails that were so lengthy and enduring that HIS endorsement of George H. Bush EASILY got G.H.B. elected president.

    Trump is doing what the people who elected him wanted him to do. He is achieving success after success after success. The only ones who despise him are leftists and their RINO political allies; and they are not enough to destroy Trump; not even with their politically corrupted polling companies. Enjoy.

    I'm more or less ambivalent to him. I'm neither pro or anti Trump. Both major party candidates disgusted me to no ends back in 2016. So I resigned myself that one or the would win. I pretty have put Trump on ignore. I don't trust him, never have. I have no desire to hear his obnoxious rants, his temper tantrums or his name calling. It's like I have an ignore button I pressed when it come to him.

    Actually, him being president doesn't bother me all that much. What does is that our two major parties would nominate two bottom of the barrel dregs of which one had to become president. That, I doubt I'll ever get over.

    Regretting you voted for the village idiot doesn't mean you would have voted for someone else or did you forget how it works? hahahahahahahahahaha

    Not sure what about this thread has anything to do with not accepting that Donald Trump is the president. Did you post this type of thing in threads about Obama when he was President?

    Both major party candidates disgusted me, my disdain for both Trump and Hillary was about as high as high can get. Yes, I voted for someone else, a third party candidate like 8 million other Americans who were as disgusted as me with the choices brought forth by our major parties. It was the only sane vote available.

    Every time he (the President) appears on TV while I'm watching the news, I press the mute button on my remote as I do on my laptop. In addition to muting my laptop when watching the news on Youtube, I scroll down so I do not see his face. He only reaches me when TV and Internet anchors and contributors read his tweets.

    I've never watched him.

    I just like the way people get so riled up about him.
    Great President. Best yet.

    I voted for McMullin.

    The Dems' problem is that they ran Clinton.

    No real American could vote for either candidate.

    This is on you, Dems. Pick better candidates.

    Tossing one's vote down the toilet is simply a political protest. I have nothing against that; but since it turns out to be meaningless, I myself would simply not bother to vote instead. (Shrug) But to each his own. Ironically I was a Hillary Clinton supporter back in 2008; but that was well before her corruption was so freaking damn obvious and also well before both her mental and physical health were -- again -- so very obviously an issue of importance. I voted for Cruz for president during the primaries and would also had been happy had Rubio won instead.

    I voted for Trump simply because he had a record of tackling the impossible and more often than not succeeding. He wanted to rebuild this nation after Obama and the Left spent eight years tearing it down? I could go for that and so I disregarded his, frankly, repugnant nature and habits and held my nose and RELUCTANTLY voted for Trump. Since then Trump has mostly accomplished what he promised and can be SEEN to be trying like hell to accomplish the rest and so unless things change radically I shall be voting for him again in 2020 . . . even if I once again am holding my nose while doing so.

    You mean toss your vote down the toilet by voting for a third party fringe candidate with absolutely no chance of winning?
