Trump has one of the lowest approval ratings. A recent poll says 38%. From here in Canada, 38% seems huge considering his actions since January

I know this is going to sound cruel, but the only way there is going to be any mean, sustained resistance is if the 2/3 hurt (those who voted for Trump, and those who can’t bother voting and saying they just don’t bother with politics).
