It’s not working.

No matter what the media says, grassroots activists?see President Trump as a man who’s not afraid to take?action to keep his campaign promises.?(Are politicians even?allowed?to keep their promises? ?Who knew?)?Largely, Americans are satisfied with the new President’s bold, controversial actions. ?In fact, the more the media freaks out, the higher Trump’s approval ratings soar amongst his base.

new NBC-Wall Street Journal poll shows that Trump’s message –no matter how hard the press tries to undermine it – appeals to normal Americans.
