It is just as I noted before, I do not see that Trump would be impeached thanks to the see no evil, hear no evil and evil Republicans in congress, but it is very important to remove and fight corruption. And it is important to realize that the fight to that corruption is not only to benefit America, but Russia and other nations as well. If Republicans in congress continue with their monkey act, it is time to toss all those rascals out. ---

Trump makes history! He has the lowest approval rating ever for a President at 9 months into his term. 59% of Americans disapprove of the job he’s doing, 50% strongly disapprove. Approximately 2/3 of Americans don’t think he’s honest or trustworthy, nor that he has the temperament or personality to be President. However, 37% approve of the job he’s doing, so there is a small but significant percentage of us who think Trump is dishonest, untrustworthy, and intemperate but still approve of the job he’s doing. Swell. > **[Trump's approval rating hits historic low, Washington Post-ABC poll says |...](https://www.cnn.com/2017/11/05/politics/wapo-abc-poll-nov-5/index.html)** > > As he approaches the first anniversary of his election victory over Hillary Clinton, President Donald Trump's approval ratings have hit historic lows. ---
