Let's say this isn't true. That his approval rating is 35%.  That means over  1/3 of our population is ok with this administration.

 

So much about American mythology (pull yourself up by your boot straps, the rugged individual, upward social mobility) is self defeating. It gives us an excuse not to teach our children how to live in a pluralistic society from a young age. At least in the short term we are screwed, imho.

 

The even bigger question is what does the state of the world say about our species overall?  It seems to me we are a petty, tribal lot that will be lucky if we don't destroy ourselves.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that Trump would forget about the tax law- a man with a notoriously short attention span who is too busy picking fights on social media to follow up on a major piece of legislation that he pushed. 

Also, it hasn't yielded the results that he bragged about happening, so it follows that this would fall through his consciousness like liquid through a sieve.

 

No One’s Talking About the New Tax Law

 

And Trump has reversed himself yet again--what a surprise NOT!  Someone must've reminded him that the TPP was conceived in the Obama White House and you know...Obama.

 

Trump, in Another Apparent Reversal, Says Trans-Pacific Trade Pact Has ‘Too Many Contingencies’

 

No surprise, countries are holding back from initiating any trade deals with the U.S. with so much indecision, backpedaling and a demonstrative lack of knowledge about what or even who is involved by this administration.  The U.S. looks unreliable, inept and foolish, to say the least.
