Trump previously drew a line saying his family’s finances should not be part of the investigation.

Which was fine ... right up to the point where he started giving his family jobs in the White House. Then ... not so fine.

Also.... why would the person being investigated define the parameters of the investigation? "Mr. Capone, we've got a subpoena here for your financial records from 1922 to present." "What??!! Hey, my financial records are off limits."

Why now? He was shown trying to cheat on his wife shortly after he was married in the famous bus tape, why would the fact that he was able to successfully grab their pussies suddenly change peoples opinions of him? They should be proud of the high end trim he was getting.

I only said some. There has got to be a tipping point somewhere.

They voted for him after his public letter of condolence to the loss of a child where he talked about trying to seduce the married mother, this is the height of class in comparison, really why should this bother any of his supporters?

I will periodically speak up and repeat that that is still missing the whole point.

What's more concerning is that how intelligent people are enthralled by Trump. Many are not stupid, so something else is going on.

"Our side is smart and their side is stupid" gets us nowhere.

These are smart people, they knew exactly what they were voting for and are getting it, why should they be upset by this?

And the respondents that self identified as being "republican" still placed Trump as one of the worst presidents.

Well yes, I pointed out the small sample size.

Also, it appears that political scientists responding to such a poll are heavily leaning left as a group, and this may hold true within the subgroup that identifies as Republican. But that's speculation.

(Of course we can go on speculating about the causes for the correlation)

Do they still hold Reagan as a paragon of republicanism? If so, i don't think Trump does well with reaganites.

That's some weird recency bias. There's no way he's currently worse than Bush the Lesser.

Didn't really like Bush but at least some of the people employed in his White House were efficient if not particularly nice or likable. Might not be much to choose between Bush and Trump but between their administrations there is a world of difference.

Depressing :(

According to Gallup (yes I know, a B- poll but find me another weekly one that splits by party affiliation) President Trump's approval rating is actually rising among independents (an 8% rise) and Democrats (a 16% rise).

You can also look at the numbers themselves. According to the very Gallup poll you cited, Democrats who approve of Trump are 7%, up from 6%, which in turn was down from 7% which was up from 5%.

When it comes to independents, it's 36%, up from 33%.

Margin of error for the poll is +/- 3% points.

It's still depressing, but it's not as bad as you make it out to be.

Maybe he should be dishonorably discharged.

Indeed he should be!

However, if the Republican Party actually had any integrity, then Trump would have been flushed shortly after the first round of Primary elections. But since this is not the case, then we are stuck with Trump for at least a while longer.
