Im not making this up to entertain you, even though im sometis tempted to do that. Donald trump is less popular than lice. Question 23 from the poll, and i quote, what do you have a higher opinion of, donald trump or lice . The proportion of americans who say they have a higher opinion of donald trump is 28 , the proportion of americans who say they have a higher opinion of lice when compared to donald trump, 54 . So donald trump is losing to lice by 26 points. And turns out, its not just lice giving donald trump a run for his money. Not to nitpick ha ha but this polling finds that hes viewed less favorably than traffic jams, used car salesmen, hipsters, the dmv, jury duty, the band nickelback and root canals.

But it still did seem to just kind of linger on like an old cooking smell you cant quite get out of the kitchen even when you open the
Part of that problem. He conducted an important substantive interview with donald trump. Well, at least the questions were substantive. Also tonight, you will hear from the local milwaukee radio talk show host who finally, finally showed trump tv and radio interviewers how to handle donald trump. The anger and rage against donald trump, especially from the right. Its blinding. Grows by the day. He is in fact a vulgar narcissist. I dont think that hes temperamentally suited to be president. No candidate should be doing what donald trump did last week, which is attacking my wife and attacking my family. Again, i didnt start it. He started it. What, are you 12 years old .
