This might seem impossible. Donald Trump remains historically unpopular because the past three years have cemented the public’s image of the president as a deeply dishonest, erratic, narcissistic, Twitter-addicted bully.

Unpopular President? Really...?
Yeah, this didn't happen.
Charlie is a never Trumper and a fake conservative.
