Hard to believe it’s only been 100 days since the orange man returned to the White House.
We’ve seen multiple polls that show the felon-in-chief underwater in his approval rating. It’s only in red states that he comes up with high marks on his performance.
His highest approval comes from deep-red Wyoming with 71 percent of people approving of what he’s done in his second attempt at governing, according to Newsweek.

Other states that continue to say they love him — I say wait until there are more layoffs and the tariffs kick in — are Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Kansas, Nebraska and Utah, all with 55 percent to 59 percent approvals.
Remember Alabama was one of the states that was turned down by the grifter’s administration for federal emergency funds for the recent tornado outbreak. A National Security Council spokesman said states have to step up on their own now in the wake of natural disasters.
You’ll recall that on Sunday a poll from ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos show the adjudicated rapist with the lowest 100-day job approval rating of any president in the past 80 years. He even bested himself because he was the previous holder of the lowest 100-day job approval rating from his first stint.
Even Fox News released a poll that had the mayor of Mar-a-Lago with a 44 percent approval rating. Fifty-five percent disapproved. That, too, was down from his 45 percent approval rating in 2017.
The Marist Poll, sponsored in partnership with NPR and PBS News, released Tuesday, is not much different in its findings.
Marist said that 45 percent of Americans gave the president a grade of “F” as he marks 100 days in office.
Only 23 percent gave him an “A,” and 17 percent gave him a “B.”
Forty-two percent of respondents approve of how the president is doing his job, which, according to Marist is down slightly from 45 percent March. On the disapproval side, 53 disapprove; that is up from 49 percent previously.
The current Oval Office occupant isn’t faring any better when people are asked about the economy. The Marist Poll said only 39 percent of Americans approve of what he is doing to the economy, with 55 percent disapproving.
When the focus is on tariffs, Trump’s approval drops to 34 percent; 58 percent disapproved.

Thank you to Mehdi Hasan, the editor and CEO of Zeteo, for putting together a video showcasing the “accomplishments” of President Donald J. Felon during his first 100 days.

When I heard about the executive order about all truckers having to be fluent in English, the first thing that went through my mind was, “So is ICE going to be in charge of enforcing the literacy tests?”
In any case, this type of bill was introduced in Tennessee and — wait for it — Republicans nixed it because it would be bad for the country.
Ain’t that a kick in the headlamps.
