Do Fans of Trump Exist?
0 - this is the amount of people I've met in America who told me they like Trump or his policy. I know Ohio is a purple or swing state which means that the state is divided by half and half: democrats and republicans can switch each other quite frequently.
Of course, I communicate mostly with students and they are most likely to be progressive or democrats. But I also talked to a variety of adult people who did not show me any admiration of Mr Trump. I've met about 3 fans of Bernie Sanders, 1 fan of Pete Buttigieg and 2 people who were inspired by Nancy Pelosi's work on impeachment.
I did not do any real political research about the attitude of an average American opinion about Trump but just my Social Media and people around behave and talk against the President. I've found president approval rating and understood that his approval is still lower than disapproval but it's not that bad: 40.6% of support vs 54.1% of disapproval.
So, my hypothesis that impeachment is becoming more real only works at ONU. But still the question to those who support impeachment: do they agree with Nancy Pelosi because they believe that Trump has committed a crime, abused power and they are disappointed or they agree with her as they do not like Donald Trump. Would they vote for any not even reasonable cause for impeachment?
I'm in favor of impeachment of Trump because his complete abuse of power. He goes to his own golf courses (frequently) using government money to fund his trips which basically means we as tax payers are paying for him to golf every week. There are mounds of evidence against him trying to get the Ukraine to dig up "dirt" on another politician which is insanely illegal. Trump is not a good person or president. He needs to be impeached.
ReplyDeleteAnna,
ReplyDeleteSee we have random conversation with random strangers and everyone says that they dislike Trump. Yet again Trump won. I guess the way the election system is made is at fault. This isn't democracy everyone should be allowed to vote for the candidates directly.
Anna,
ReplyDeleteIt's so interesting that you haven't really met people that approve of Trump! Up near my home in Cleveland it's definitely more split in regards to those who support him and those who do not. I personally am in full support of the impeachment, and definitely identify as a liberal/democrat when it comes to politics. You're surely studying in the USA at a VERY interesting time!
