With Trump Already Below Water His Run Is Going To Start Rough...

Rational Nation USA
Purveyor of Truth

President elect Donald J. Trump is 5 days out from his inauguration and he "enjoys" the lowest transitional rating of any recent president elect. With just a 44% approval rating, 6% under water before he assumes the office, he is likely to have a very rough road ahead.

Obama - 83% approval rating
Bush - 61% approval rating
Clinton - 68% rating

For more on this CLICK HERE .

Trump is so unliked by the majority of Americans he is even being compared to the Roman Emperor Caligula. We here at this weblog find the comparison quite apt in several ways.

Trump deserves every bit of criticism he receives and hopefully the ethical media and the American electorate will keep unbearable pressure on the man CHILD president when he takes over the reins from President Obama.

    As I wrote in my blogpost (which is linked to RN USA), all of his strutting, bragging, tweeting, and lying hasn't helped him. A majority of Americans and our allies dislike the man-child. And how did President-elect 44% kick of Civil Rights observation week beginning with MLK's holiday? By attacking John Lewis.

      Thanks for the link!

      Trump is not liked. I just read Jennifer Holiday has withdrawn from performing at Trump's inauguration and American poets are protesting his inauguration holding readings etc in 90 cities. Poets in a few other countries are doing the same.

      Trump has richly earned the disdain of the millions who despise him.

    Sadly, I'm not sure we can count on the media to resist Trump. He is good copy. Big money. Now Anderson Cooper is siding with the monster instead of Senator Lewis. NPR is and has been treating him like a hero probably since the last republican debate before the ugly truth began to dawn on all of us.

    The media is complicit. Without their support and the free pass they so willingly give to Trump, he would not be president-elect now. They fawn over his every word like he was Kim Kardashian or JayZ. He is the best rock star they have. Every time I open my email, his ugly face is peering out of Yahoo News saying yet another meaningless and mean-spirited thing. It's not news. It's only copy. Apparently people are tuning it in and clicking on it. I don't understand it to save my life. But he is very definitely on to something very big and undeniable.

    Sadly you may be right Flying Junior.

    I used the term "ethical media" because I still believe there are ethical journalists and ethical news outlets. FAUX News, Breitbart, Lucianne (so?), and World Net Daily are NOT legitimate or ethical news sources. They ARE among the sources that are truly fake news.

    When all is said and done it is, at least in my opinion, the fault and the responsibility of the lazy American voter(s) that didn't bother to look into Trump's history, his true character, those he surrounds himself with, and the likelihood he will work to restrict and diminish our civil liberties and human rights.

    For those who have bought the con and swallowed it hook line and sinker there is nothing that will change their mind. As for the rest of America? We the People have the power should we CHOOSE to exercise it.

    Now there is 2018 and 2020.

    Given your fixation on assholes and "gags" we posit that you TOM are a frustrated closeted gay man. Come out of the closet and declare your sexual preference, you'll be much happier and less hateful.

    Yes El Donaldo will be president in 5 days. And, we retain our right to continue to expose the con artist for what he is.

      Perhaps so, but, I note that SiteHoundSniffs.com has a rather diverse lineup of weblogs from quite conservative to quite liberal. As well as a broad range of interests.

      I suspect the management does have a discerning eye. As well as nose.

    Leadership consists of many attributes. Insulting political opponents and political allies, disabled press
    reporters, women, business leaders and especially foreign sovereign nations, are not among those attributes.
    They are more typical of a schoolyard bully, a professional wrestler or fascist totalitarian and not the leader of the free world. These times are too interesting.

    Trump is apparently not concerned with protocols or common decency.

    Indeed we do live in interesting times. Dangerous as well and Trump may increase the present danger level with his rhetoric and lack of judgment.

    Trump believes he's going to be a really, really terrific president and the best jobs president God ever created.

    However, the American people at this moment do not believe him or his b.s. According to the latest Gallup poll, only 40% of the American people approve of him. 60% either dislike or don't care about him. When you spend most of your time insult-tweeting and making an ass of yourself in front of your country and the world, that tends to put people off.

    The tragedy here is that Trump doesn't care and won't learn a thing from his weak and miserable approval ratings.

    Most disliked president-elect in modern American history. Trump has certainly made history, eh?

    President Truman had a "dislike problem" or low approval rating as well. He is now considered one of our great presidents. Plain speaking ,The Bucks Stops Here Harry. Truman was a failed businessman yet became great president. Trump is a vaunted as a "successful" businessman... You take it from there

      A) When it comes to name calling, whining, and lying it is you TOM that stands at the top of that heap.

      B) As for being banned from weblogs like FreeThinke and others like it? Here's my response. ~BFD!~

      C) With respect to my followeers. 1) It's NOYFB, 2) I prefer fewer followers that are intelligent and thoughful than rather than a slew of bigoyed lying as*hats like yourself.

      D) If whining is what you call it, it is really speaking truth to power, then I'm glad to wear the badge that says "WHINER".

      E) As I noted before, it must be YOU are a closeted gay man because you have demonstrated a tremendous fixation on the subject of gays and as*holes. Get help TOM so you can be comfortable with who you are, rather than angry at the emtire world.

      You have a nice day now ya hear?

Moonbats, Reporters, and MSNBC

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism One has to wonder, I mean really really wonder about the Moonbats that heavily populate the democratic party, and the progressive movement. Author and reporter David Cay Johnston has just taken Moonbattery to new heights. I mean really new heights! During an MSNBC segment with Ed Schultz {one of the moonbats} discussing Rep. Paul Ryan's Path to Prosperity deficit reduction proposal he questioned Ryan's legitimacy because he is an advocate of Rand's views. He pointed to Rand's bestseller The Fountainhead , a story about a fiercely individualistic young struggling architect  as as a reason to question Rep. Ryan's legitimacy. Of course by condensing the entire plot to a singular event in the book, without giving proper lead in and explanation, Mr. Johnston was attempting to question not only Ryan's legitimacy, but his motive and integrity as well.

Obama on the Campaign Trail...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -v s- Tyranny For a President that has talked about unifying in the past it certainly seems this segment of the Presidents recent remarks focus more on divisiveness than unity. I guess politics are, after all just politics. It is more about building a base, telling people what you think they want to hear, and getting reelected than it is about telling the truth. Unfortunately this can be said about both party's. The President: "The Republican plan comes down to this, ‘Dirtier air, dirtier water, less people with health insurance.” h/t: Real Clear Politics "My plan says we’re going to put teachers back in the classrooms, construction workers back to work," President Obama said at a campaign event today. "Tax cuts for small businesses, tax cuts for hiring veterans, tax cuts if you give your workers a raise –- that’s my plan." "The Republicans plan, Obama says, boils down to this: 'Dirtier a

A Liberals View of OWS... From the New Republic

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -v s- Tyranny OWS, the movement lacking leadership as well as defined objectives having a reasonable chance of success. The longer it grinds on the more it look like a bunch of misfit radicals looking for the free ride. However, on the other hand there are certainly those who have a clear vision as to what and why Wall Street needs to change. The reasonable people supporting OWS are doing so to end crony capitalism, corporatism, the unethical practices of banking executives and mortgage lenders, as well as government bailouts of businesses. They also recognize corporate lobbyist must become a extinct group. Given the majority of people would tend to agree with the above someone ought to be asking the question, why doesn't the reasonable Tea Party folks and the reasonable OWS folks come together and pool resources so to speak? Tea Party individuals want more fiscal discipline and restraint so as to bring balance to national fis

The Hearing On Muslim Extremists and Protecting Civil Rights

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservative House Republicans under the leadership of Representative Peter King (R-NY) held the first in what he anticipates to be a series of hearings examining the potential dangers of radical Islam and radicalized American Muslims. The hearings are a prudent and necessary activity given the realities of our modern world. In response to the hearings being held by the House of Representatives Senate Democrats are responding with meetings of their own following their return from a ten day vacation recess. The Senate meetings will focus on what is perceived to be a spoke in anti Muslim bigotry, and to examine Muslim's civil rights. The debate about exactly what constitutes Anti Muslim bigotry, as well as the debate on the impact radicalized Muslims residing in American have on our society and it's wellbeing is worth having.

Finally... Recognizing the Futility... The Founding Fathers and Ayn Rand Had It Right

Two Quotes to Consider

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism The following two quotes were e-mailed to me by a reader of Rational Nation USA. They were taken from a small southern publication called "Tidbits." I thought perhaps my readers might enjoy them. "We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one further." My take is that all those many billions of people through out history believed just as firmly in their gods as many do today. So who is right and who is wrong? It doesn't really make any difference to me.     Richard Dawkins, Evolutionary Biologist "A conservative is a man who believes that nothing should be done for the first time." Atributed to Alfred Wiggams As the RN USA reader commented,  "Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in between the true conservative and those in public office today who call themselves conservatives." They have a point! Enj

South Dakota Bringing Abortion Front and Center

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism I am at a complete loss for words. A long time independent conservative, a strong advocate of limited government, an advocate of laissez faire capitalism, with libertarian leanings I can not even find the words to comment on the South Dakota House Bill 1171. It is such a bill as one might find existent in a extremist and repressive Islamic Theocracy. It is supported along a party line vote. Republicans are the supporter of this ill advised and dangerous bill. While I do not approve of  the language, "murdering abortion doctors will be legal", and I have not used this site as a source for information in the past, SD House Bill 1171 is so egregiously profane I found myself in general agreement with the following article. Generally staying away the abortion debate this report pushed me into the fray of it all so to speak. There are times when one simply believes they must register in, even if they
