Remember, back in the day, when newly elected presidents enjoyed a honeymoon? Donald Trump isn’t getting one. His adversaries are in combat mode, as if the campaign never ended. Demonstrations are planned. Money is pouring into the coffers of liberal groups. Activists are calling for an ongoing “resistance” movement. Mr. Trump is getting a taste of his own medicine because he, too, is behaving as if the campaign never ended. For weeks, he has continued to lob provocative tweets about his critics and the media, derided people who supported Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, reveled in his election victory and took a victory lap of “thank you” rallies across the country in December. Now, when he takes office Jan. 20, Mr. Trump will be facing some of the most virulent opposition ever to confront a new president. His approval ratings, while on the rise, are still the lowest of any president-elect in recent polling history. President Barack Obama in 2009 faced resistance from the fledgling tea-party movement, but polls suggested that many opponents were cutting him slack as he was inaugurated: 67% viewed Mr. Obama positively in December 2008, compared to 41% who viewed Mr. Trump favorably in December 2016, according to Wall Street Journal/NBC News polls.

Of course he’s gonna face resistance. This is why people voted for him. They knew about the uniparty’s bipartisan destruction of our country.
“Trump is getting a taste of his own medicine” ??!!
That’s a joke from the WSJ ? Those fake and croocked journalists are mixing up electoral campaign in a civilized country and CIVIL WAR !!!
Those frustrated angry journalists will go on with FAKE NEWS ! Just watch CNN .... this is trash lying journalism pretending to look for truth and true information
They’re still clinging to polls.
Polls told us that Trump was going to lose Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and that Ohio was a tight race.
Some people love Obama on a personal level - or at least harbor no hatred - but think his policies are abysmal. Others love Trump’s policies but feel he is personally a buffoon and simply would like him to stop tweeting. The polls could possibly show the results based on the above statements, depending on how the survey is worded.
AND Texas was in play........
Msm never mentioned the thunderous opposition to obamaacare but the 2010 election on set the stage for this present day teachable moment on the meaning of the word ‘no’. And many many more. Eat your peas.
Polls = Fake News.
more fake news from the liars at wsj.
the same frauds caught dining with team Hillary .
believe nothing from these bitter cheap labor scum.
cancel subscriptions to the propaganda group.
The Democrats are going to screw around and completely destroy their party!
I think the Reps rolled over for Obama.
Hook is apparently one of the few hate filled lefties hired by the WSJ.
Oh, 0bama face opposition from day 1. We just didn’t burn the house down. We were civil in our actions, even our marches and protests left the place cleaner than when we arrived.
We took our displeasure to the ballot box in 2010, 2012, and 2014 to finally culminate in Republican Governorship, a Republican House, Senate, and Presidency in 2016. Not just Republican either, but conservative or tea party too!
All along the Democrats kept thinking the battles they were winning meant they had won. For whatever reason, they didn’t see the losses they were taking were fatal to their positions and party.
We still have a lot of work to do as these events these past few months demonstrate the deep entrenchment of a failed democrat ideology. They behave as though they have not had over a decade to accomplish their agenda. As though we, conservatives, controlled their agenda or even stopped it.
It amazes me how well they are able to keep people agitated, fearful, and upset. The level of hysteria and paranoia we see is truly unprecedented, but that is exactly where the democrat/progressive wants them to be. They are using the group think method to invoke the ‘fight or flight’ response.
I for one am tired of the hysteria. We find ourselves looking at them and thinking, “What the hell is wrong with you?” It isn’t a slander against them, it is seriously a statement of amazement at the unfounded reactions.
WSJ is turning into the funny pages.
Yes, isn’t it curious about how many key issues were hidden under the blanket.
The news media’s biggest “fake” activity is the coverup of facts, not fake allegations.
Thank God we elected Trump. He truly is the savior of our nation in this perilous time of political revolution.
Remember you read this here!!! Cable/Legacy TV news, and Print Media is dead!!! The only viable/successful News TV vehicle is Fox News Channel and, Fox Business Channel!!!
