That strikes me as reaching for the most hostile possible reading of the comment, particularly in light of the fact that his economic nominees so far aren't that bad.

Well that and he has been pretty critical of the white house response to the pandemic.

Fact is he pissed a lot of people off rather than pleasing them. They gave him lip service and no more.

There's going to be so much record destruction in January 19th it'll look like the White House selected a new Pope.

He’s incompetent, he took advantage of the Anti-SJW wave that swept the country in 2016 with his brash talking and insulting, but once that died down and he showed what a terrible president he was, he was bound to lose favor
