N.Y. Slimeball

I would call the trumpster in the dumpster a New York Slimeball except, compared to the donald, New York Slimeballs live in the upper East 80s, attend the opera with close friends, the ballet with socialites, appreciate the symphony, and are well read.

$130,000... ?

What are others saying about the trumpster in the dumpster?

"So enjoy your victory, Trump voters! Because when you’re dying because you don’t have health insurance to treat the infection you got from a back alley abortion you had to get because of fetal lead poisoning, you can say to yourself, ‘At least I didn’t vote for someone with a private email server.'" –Bill Maher

"NBC suspended Billy Bush for his words on the Trump tape, which means there is a higher standard for a third hour host of the Today Show than there is for the Republican president." –Seth Meyers

"You started your campaign by accusing Mexicans of being rapists. Now you're on tape explaining how you sexually assault women. The only way you could be more hypocritical is if you said it in Spanish." –Michael Che on Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update"

"Donald Trump had a meltdown about what a great temperament he has. It was like watching someone carve 'I'm not a psycho' into their arm." –Bill Maher

"Donald Trump said that his strongest suit is his temperament. Sadly, even that suit is made in China." –Jimmy Fallon

"A 12-year-old boy was actually running one of Trump's campaign offices in Colorado. When asked how an inexperienced child could be running things, the boy said, 'Look, he's the nominee and we're stuck with him.'" –Jimmy Fallon

"So, Trump got rid of everyone who was trying to get him to tone down his rhetoric and hired people who want him to be even more controversial. Trump’s like an alcoholic who fires his doctor and starts getting medical advice from his bartender." –Seth Meyers

Donald Trump is nothing more than a cheap joke.

Besides, Being President Is Stressful

Donald Trump’s approval rating is worse than at least a dozen past presidents.

According to FiveThirtyEight updated on Wednesday, his approval rating was still an unimpressive 33 percent. Disapproval was 59 percent.

That’s lower than the other least popular recent American presidents, including:

Richard M. Nixon, who played a major role in the Watergate scandal and

Gerald Ford, who granted a controversial presidential pardon to Nixon and

Lyndon B. Johnson, who failed to lead the U.S. out of the Vietnam War.

According to the Post, with his 59% disapproval rating, Trump’s approval margin is -22 — the only president to have a negative margin in over 50 years!

Former President Barack Obama had a 57% approval rating and 40% disapproval rating — a margin of +17 — at the same time during his tenure in November 2009.
