Charlie Kirk: Millennials, Gen Z support Trump despite left’s best efforts
Fox News ^ | May 16, 2019 | Charlie Kirk

Posted on 05/17/2019 12:33:11 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

President Trump is falsely portrayed as evil, ignorant and incompetent in much of the news and entertainment media. Liberal college professors look down their noses at him. An army of left-wing special interest groups claim he’s just about the worst president in U.S. history. Yet he remains popular – including among young people.

A Zogby Poll published this week indicates that President Trump is enjoying a 51 percent overall voter approval rating among all Americans – with 30 percent saying they “strongly approve” of his job performance and 21 percent saying they “somewhat approve.”

This is higher than rock star and media darling President Barack Obama enjoyed at the same time during his first term.

This must be befuddling to the people who have worked so tirelessly to tear Trump down. Even more disappointing for them, the Zogby Poll shows Trump is doing well among young people.

Consider these numbers from the new Zogby Poll: President Trump’s approval rating among voters age 18 to 24 is 49 percent. Among voters aged 18 to 29, Trump’s approval rating is 51 percent. And among millennial voters age 25 to 34, his approval stands at 53 percent.

Young people have been particular targets of the round-the-clock anti-Trump disinformation campaign – but are too smart to fall for it. I know this from personal experience as a 25-year-old.

Anyone with any sense supports Trump, who is important and needed to help the country and people in it get back on their feet and MAGA.

Many of those kids/Millenials are finding jobs now; unlike in the era of the previous administration which jobs were scarce.

Millennials have grown up knowing nothing but the failed policies of Obozzo, Bush and Bj Clinton. Now they see a true Alpha Male runninghte country and its a shock.

My kid nephew says all his classmates love Trump but they are told to hate him by their teachers. He calls Trump the God Emperor which I really like

Being able to move out of mom’s basement and start a career will do that to you.

A good number of them think he’s too soft and isn’t right wing enough.

The less attention we get, the eaiser it is for us to not have to deal with anyone.

White, non-Jewish young males get it far better than you know. They are drawn to guns and have some of the strongest family values and traditions I’ve seen in many years. In their gut they know they are under assault. I work with them, and they regularly tell me, “We can’t say anything about anything.”

Yes...the youths aren’t brainwashed idiots. The media tries to make the youths as being for big government, but Trump is helping the youth, too...
