a New York Times/Siena College poll of registered voters on Friday found that Trump’s approval rating is 42%, and just 29% among independent voters.

The fact is, about of a third of Americans would be pleased with orange-face no matter what he did or who got hurt.
All these leopard-eating-faces articles are just modern day morality plays ( the performance of drama about how the wicked or sinners get their justice, or tearfully beg for forgiveness). People been enjoying this even before the printing press
That’s because he isn’t losing his core constituency and the “displeased” republicans/independents will continue to vote R each election.
