(52,178 posts)You never see the media portray him anything worse than "controversial".
But he's the most consistently unpopular president ever. His disapprovals are higher than his approvals for his entire presidency other than a few days right after inauguration, shortest and lamest "honeymoon" ever.
The media constantly called Obama unpopular. but Donnie's numbers are way worse, and they never call him that.
