Yeah, it is pretty spooky the degree to which he just absorbs whoever spoke to him most recently.

I mean, when people say "career politician" they generally mean someone who has spent their entire life in politics like, say, a Chuck Schumer or a Bernie Sanders.

And how much money is Trump actually making? His net worth has actually decreased since he first started running for office.

Trump is a politician yes and that is his current career, but when I say career politician I mean someone who has been in the system for decades. Schumer, Feinstein, Pelosi, McCain etc etc.

I think it is important to be able to change your views based on input and evidence, but that's not what Trump is doing. He's just flip-flopping to fit whatever benefits him at the moment.

Except maybe him. Seems to me there was a debate some little while ago about whether Jesus and the Apostles actually owned anything. At times it got heated. But I digress ...

That's a legitimate enough complaint but it is rather a non-sequitur in this context.

Let me hep you.

I don't know why you're bringing up his tax returns. You can literally Google to see what his net worth is.

Not necessarily, and if you need to redact the names you could do the nice thing and type "Agent Smith" in the place of every name you'd redact. Or Agent Jones. Or Neo :P

Tbf it's not like career politicians always do. Generally the ones that don't see success through sheer luck or by virtue of their competition being even more incompetent at winning. Or just get appointed to something.

Some polls have him at 40. Rasmussen has him at 50.

Either way it's been improving.


Their polls have numerous methodology flaws that don't make them reputable. If you don't want to sound stupid, stop citing Rasmussen.

EDIT: Also, 538 shows him in a downward trend of late. So there goes your entire argument, I guess.

RCP cites Rasmussen, and they're the most reputable poll aggregator in the United States.

You'd think that after 11 of these threads, at some point people would pick up on the fact that "But they did it too~!" stopped being a viable argument after kindergarten.

Rasmussen is also 2 points leaning R, and only a C+.

Gallup shows nearly 60% dislike.

Gallup also leans R by 0.8 and has a B- according to 538.
