When I wrote last week that President Trump's capitulatory press conference with Vladimir Putin was a low moment in his tenure thus far, I wasn't out on a limb.
Trump's equivocations prompted rebukes from scores of Congressional Republicans, as well as critiques from a number of national figures who are typically supporters and allies. Trump's secret sauce, however, is that the more he's attacked, the more Republican voters feel compelled to circle the wagons and rally to his defense -- hence the polling released last week in which super-majorities of GOP-leaning voters said they approved of his performance with Putin, and share his views on trade wars and tariffs.
If it had been Obama at the center of either controversy, Republicans would undoubtedly have been nearly unified in intense opposition, but tribal loyalty is paramount these days. Indeed, for a great many partisan voters, Trump himself is the top "issue" ahead of the midterms, according to a new Politico/Morning Consult poll....

This’ll give the dumbocrats a warm feeling in their nether regions.
People are tuning out the Ministry of Propaganda.
Their effectiveness is greatly diminished.
The media meltdown over Helsinki didn’t resonate with people.
What happened?
This Helsinki controversy is all inside the beltway angst. Regular peoole just don’t care about parsing language at the press conference.
And after his tough tweet to/about Iran today, his approvals will increase even more. I love what this man is doing for America!
The awful, lying, scumbag press should have a poll taken about whether people believe they are Democrat asshats.
Donald Trumps Approval Rating Inches Higher, Buoyed by Republican Support
Wall Street Journal

President Donald Trumps approval rating edged higher during a week in which he faced withering criticism following a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, signaling that he is positioned to weather the latest controversy sparked by his unusual brand of politics.
Mr. Trumps job approval rating rose to 45% in a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, the highest mark of his presidency and up 1 percentage point from June. The survey was taken over a four-day period that started July 15, a day before Mr. Trumps news conference with Mr. Putin in which he questioned the conclusion of U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia meddled in the 2016 election.
Because the survey started a day before Mr. Trumps news conference in Helsinki, pollsters said the results may not capture the full reaction to events that unfolded throughout the week. Still, pollsters said results in the two days following Mr. Trumps remarksdeemed by Newt Gingrich, a Trump adviser and former U.S. House speaker, to be the most serious mistake of his presidencydiffered little from the preceding two days.
During what is a terrible week in terms of media coverage and focus on the president, these numbers dont budge, Mr. McInturff said, describing the presidents approval ratings as stable.

Trump himself is the top “issue” ahead of the midterms
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are trying to make it sound like a cult, when in fact it is a movement as Trump laid out in this speech:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szaKnOhJbow
Of the 535 congress critters, the VP, 50 governors and all other state & local officials, there is NO ONE MORE PRO-USA than Donald J Trump. Whatever he is negotiating with Vladimir Putin or Kim Jong-UN, will only benefit the country.
And I have wanted trade wars since 40 years ago, after observing how we are selling out the country with trade deficits.
Any all out trade war ALWAYS PUNISHES those with TRADE SURPLUSES way more than those with deficits. China & Eu & Mexico can NOT AFFORD trade wars with USA. It will demolish their economies. They will all make more fair trade deals if Trump holds firm. Rest assured!!
Americans are simply tired of being manipulated into “outrage.”
2. Anyone wth half a brain knows that the U.S. and Russia have been jointly operating the International Space Station for years. They know damn well that anyone who tries to paint Russia as an enemy of the U.S. is full of sh!t.
Real people are rolling their eyes and going outside and enjoying being American.
;)
Need more outrage. Go full retard [I think they did.]
Well, I think that is it. The article accounts for the rise by saying that Republicans react to media hysteria by moving toward Trump, but I think most are there already. The truth is that more and more people react to the anti-Trump media negatively; they don’t buy into the manufactured echo chamber induced hysteria from inside the beltway. In fact, they assume, astutely, that whatever is being pushed by the media in its role as The Ministry of Truth, is the exact opposite of truth.
Bad for republicans to do this good for democratic’s!
They’re shocked!
Keep it up, you leftist fools! We have learned to disbelieve everything you try to tell us!
I hope the media never figures out that non-stop Trump trashing is helping his numbers. Speaks volumes about how the public feels about the media.
