the next milestone in gravestones
I am fairly certain that there is no bottom to Trump’s sleaziness and desperation, but his suggestion to shoot up with Lysol is a pretty solid marker. It’s no stretch to believe that he’ll soon be hinting that gargling with Drano might help.
Trump’s mishandling of the crisis in general, and the daily briefings specifically, has eaten into the rally-round-the-flag bump any president would get in a major crisis. If he got any boost at all from his impeachment acquittal, it’s gone.
Statistician supreme Nate Silver’s 538 website runs an aggregate presidential job approval/disapproval chart adjusted for various factors like house effect. Today it is at 52.5% disapproval/43.4% approval. On March 28th, it was 49.7% disapproval/45.8% approval, the smallest gap since February 7th, 2017
The first ratings of Trump’s presidency, issued January 23rd of 2017, had Trump at 45.5% approval/41.3% disapproval. By February 4th of that year, he was even. He hasn’t seen approval numbers above disapproval ones since.
And if you can take one more stat, please let it be this one: the U.S. death toll from the virus is on pace to surpass 58,300 this month. That’s the number of American troops killed in the Vietnam War.
