Mod: I'd have to think anyone would be hard pressed to come up with an example of something Trump did that actually succeeded. Most taxpayer funded golf trips to properties he owns perhaps?Half of Americans in new survey say history will view Trump as 'failed' president (The Hilllink): Half of registered voters say they think history will view President Trump as a “failed” president, according to a USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Thursday.
When asked how they think history will assess
Trump’s tenure, just over 50 percent of those polled say he will be viewed as a “failed” president. About 30 percent say he will be judged as either a “good” or “great” president, and 16 percent say he’ll be viewed as a “fair” president. Just over 4 percent of those surveyed are undecided.
"The last four years have been lacking in compassion and empathy, lacking in anything other than advancing the personal interests of
President Trump and his friends and allies and family,"
Babette Salus, 60, a retired attorney from
Springfield,
Ill., who voted for
President-elect Joe Biden, told
USA Today as part of the survey. "There have probably been worse presidents, [but] I'm not sure there has been a worse one in my lifetime."
"I'll tell you what, 50 years out, Trump will be much better regarded than he is at the current time," added David Cheff, 73, a Trump voter from Jacksonville, Fla.
The poll’s results mark a sharp contrast from the same survey conducted in the waning days of former
President Obama’s second term. At the time, 50 percent said he’d be judged as either “good” or “great,” and 23 percent said he’d be viewed as a “failed” president.
Texas Store Goes Viral for ‘No Democrates Allowed’ Sign (
Heavylink): An appliance repair shop in
Texas is grabbing attention online because of a sign in the front parking lot that indicates what sort of customers are not welcome at the establishment. The owner of
R&R Appliances in
Abilene posted a sign that reads, “
No Democrates Allowed.”
Democratic voter
Zach Snyder snapped photos of the store and shared them on
Facebook on December 11. His images have since circulated widely online and the term “
Democrates” was trending nationally on
Twitter on December 14.
The Hays County Democratic Party, based in San Marcos, Texas, was among the organizations to share the picture on social media. The group poked fun at the misspelling with a caption reading, “R&R Appliances in Abilene apparently doesn’t want Democrates to visit their classy store. Is Socrates allowed?”
