Trump's approval rating about 39% (late July numbers) Take a look:

____________________________________________________________________________________

...Most of the nation has seen enough of the Trump show. The Trump Show has been on too long, and it has been rejected by most of us. Donald Trump has made a fool of himself, and embarrassed this country. I doubt that these numbers can be improved. Most likely they will get worse. Trump is a fool/buffoon, was a fool/buffoon, and will always be a fool/buffoon. That is not complicated, but it is the simple truth.

and I knew he was a POS and was stunned that many of my class mates liked him, we used to argue about on the bus and before class.

But, 45 is the sum total of every bad trait that each POTUS we have had during my life had.

Even if they won’t admit it publicly they know they screwed themselves over.

Besides, there will be plenty of other robbers that will step up in 2024

7. If the economy tanks, I don't think they will lionize Trump, because Trump really represents

the very worst of humanity: selfish, bully, stupid, totally self absorbed, etc, etc, etc. My suspicion is that the
kGOP will find a way to ignore Trump. Particularly if Trump looses most of the states. (yes, I think that will happen) But has been said before: "Anything can happen." And it already has.

The show should have been cancelled after its third season, but the Republicans in the Senate decided to give the show one last chance. Many of them, I suspect, are regretting that decision now.
