WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Donald Trump's job approval rating averaged 38.4% during his first year in office -- slightly more than 10 percentage points lower than any other elected president's first-year average. Bill Clinton is the only other president who was below 50% in his first year. All others were 57% or higher, with six of the 10 presidents elected since World War II averaging 60% or better in their first year.

I see similarities between statues of dictators and trump.
There comes a point where people storm the streets and tear down the dictators likeness.
When do we reach the point where we storm the streets? I don’t know about you but I’ve been there for over a year and I know I’m in the majority.
