Did you perhaps consider that all the negative press he's getting is contributing to most of that disapproval rating?
Stock market (Dow) went up 50% between 2008 and 2012 (8,000 to 12,000) and another 50% between early 2013 and the end of 2016 (12,000 to 18,000). Market went up again 20%, after oil crash, between Feb 2016 and Nov 2016 (16,000 to 19,000).
More jobs? I am seeing the same numbers we used to see under Obama. Somehow they are now real numbers. I guess unemployment went from 20% (whatever number was real for Trump) to 5% in January 2017.
Better economy? I don't see it: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/gdp-growth
most of the negative press is either directly quoting trump or his surrogates lying or quoting some goofy thing trump did.
Some of it is normal non-news but most of it is created by trump himself.
This is a standard trump response to a problem -- blame anyone but himself.

You mean the constant barrage of negative news on the MSM might have an effect on Trumps approval ratings? nah....
He doesn't believe the media is biased. You're not going to get anywhere.
yeah you're right, dear leader has never done anything wrong, never even lied and continues to be a blessing to the USA never embarrassing us or himself at all.
and you don't believe trump is a pathological liar even though its been proven on this board dozens of times.
I never said anything about Obama. Unlike Libs and Dems, I'm not living in the past. I already said everything went up under Obama, it really had no other place to go. My criticism of Obama was that it didn't go up fast enough. He never had 3% growth, that had never happened before him.
The steps that Trump is taking with laws getting through congress, EOs and deregulation will create more jobs, grow the economy. We've already seen it in action with multiple companies keeping jobs here instead of shipping them over seas and investing in production in the US. Coal mines are opening creating jobs for the areas hit most the last decade.
Comey directly stated that the Feb 14 NYT article, which started this new level of RUSSIA! hysteria, was FALSE. He said this TWICE.
You're being ignorant because you like the media trashing him using false, fake news lies.
No one has ever said that. Just because you believe every faux rage scandal that comes out of the NYT, WaPo, CNN and MSNBC doesn't mean it's all true.

I could literally go on forever. There is a blatantly wrong story published almost every day.
Thats the problem. Some of the stuff you are posting isn't wrong. Some of it has since been corrected or more information has been provided about it. Some of it was just wrong and has since been redacted. Some of it is actually right. Some of it was never reported how you are saying.
FYI its not new that MSM writes stories that turn out not to be right -- its part of the 24hr news cycle. Plenty was written about obama that was wrong -- quite a lot of it by the Current president himself!
Point is most of these stories aren't "blatantly wrong" (unless ur reading tabloids) they are the current facts at the time they are reported and if they are wrong are later retracted.
Trumps disapproval rating (all time high) isn't because the MSM is reporting so negatively on trump, its because his administration is creating story after story by either blatantly lying, contradicting itself, or flat out just not know what they are doing.
actually he didn't. He said parts of it was false and that he couldn't get into it. Yes some of what is reported is either half of the truth, or not true at all. Trumpsters like to combat trumps continual lies with MSM "fake news" which is hilariously ironic.
Besides isn't Comey a liar (per Trump?) Why does anything he say carry weight for you? Or is it only the things he says that props up your points?
Really? They're not wrong until proven wrong? That's the argument? How can something that is wrong be a "fact at the time"? You need to hold the media to a higher standard. Their job is to report facts, not make up stories and retract them later, which most of the time doesn't even happen.
Heres the problem. You are making all of these cases out to be black and white and they simply aren't. There are shades of gray to each story written.
If you can find me a story that is proven false from a reputable news source that wasn't retracted I'd love to see it.
Yes a story with facts presented is true unless it is proven false. Just like what Trump says should be considered true until it is proven wrong (usually within minutes of him saying it, lol).
I agree media needs to be held to a high standard which is why everyone left and right ripped rachel maddow for reporting the goofy 2005 trump tax return as if it was some kind of bombshell when it was epitome of non-news. So does our president. It seems you are conveniently holding the MSM to a much, much higher standard than our current president.
Here's the story from the NYT that Comey said was 100% false. No retraction.

LOL
This is a question directly about the NYT Feb 14 article:
Asked by Sen. Tom Cotton, Arkansas Republican, whether the story was “almost entirely wrong,” he answered, “Yes.”
"Almost entirely false" is somehow supposed to be "parts"?
Just admit it- you joined in with the other lunatics calling for impeachments after that article ran, including Maxine Batshit Crazy Waters, and now you don't want to admit that you raged using a Fake News article
Trump doesn't deal in facts but the media is supposed to? At least they rely on sources, usually multiple for accuracy, but they aren't perfect. Trump just makes stuff up out of thin air.
more fake news from 85.
Comey testified that the article was "in the main" it was not true. He didn't clarify which parts were incorrect and still hasn't. To say the whole article is wrong is FAKE NEWS.
Regardless, didn't Trump call Comey a liar? How can he be a liar but be telling the truth here? Or is Trump the liar?
Heres an update to the story that explains the whole situation well but you probably wont even bother to read it because you already heard from Trump its fake news.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/08/us/politics/james-comey-new-york-times-article-russia.html?_r=0
why bother to live in the real world when you can keep your head in the sand
Which parts are true and which are false then?
If you can answer, and the NYT can't, then it's horseshit that this article ever ran in the first place.
Pathetic attempt to destroy the Admin
Oh and color me SHOCKED to see the NYT is trying to do damage control on their own discredited article!
Comey never addressed which parts are true or false. But as usual you jump to the conclusion that the mean old MSM is out to get your hero and savior. Also clear you didn't bother to read the article lol as they address this very clearly.
finally, unrelated to this story, when someone retracts a story its not "damage control" its correcting wrong information. Something Trump hasn't done once since being in office despite being proven to have lied an average of 4+ times per day. Trump is the epitome of Fake News and you are lapping it up.
Well look at it this way. If the sources they are using are not dealing in legitimate information, how can the article be correct?
good read how Trump being the face of the GOP might destroy the future of the Party, he's doubling down & only catering to a shrinking demographic

This is interesting, because some political analysts are saying Trump has a lot of support not due to his policies or temperament, but for the simple fact that the "other side" dislikes him so much. It is typical my team vs your team mentality. This isn't a stupid football game, its our damn country.
The only thing Trump has been good at is tearing down Obamas policies, not building any of his own. Sometimes it seems he overturns things not because it makes fiscal sense, or wanting to truly help build our country.... but instead he is just doing things to be a dick.
Do you have any examples of where he was doing this? It seems to me that most of his decisions are fiscally based or wanting to truly help build this country although the mainstream, liberal media would want you to think otherwise.
Allowing the mentally ill to buy guns, because you know...Obama said that is probably a bad thing? There are more, but I do get tired of participating in the cognitive dissonance game.
That isn't totally true and the media hasn't reported honestly. It has always been illegal to sell guns to mentally ill and still is.
It was (and remains to this day) already illegal to sell guns to anyone “who has been adjudicated as a mental defective or who has been committed to a mental institution” per Title 18 section 922(g) of the United States Code. “Adjudicated as mental defective”, the Obama administration argued, is further clarified in an Alcohol, Tobacco Products and Firearms regulation (Title 27 U.S.C. section 478.11)
This is what Trump repealed...
The requirement for the Social Security Administration to provide disability benefit information to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. On 19 December 2016 in the final days of the Obama presidency, used the implementation of the National Instant Criminal Background Check Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 to require the Social Security Administration to report to the Attorney General individuals receiving certain kinds of Social Security mental health disability benefits so that this information could be used in firearm background checks.
Some of this biggest trumpets on here have openly admitted the above, pretty pathetic.
This did not happen- it is absolute Fake News you are pushing. Perhaps you need more sleep to bring forward a statement that isn't 100% factually incorrect
quick google search showed articles by New Your times, Washington Post and NPR that Trump and congress repealed a rule that would make it more difficult for severely mentally ill people to buy guns. There is no "fake news" about it. Happened in February. Politics aside, you have to admit, repealing that rule does not seem to make sense does it? I can admit to have some political blinders on, but on the surface it just seems to be a big "FU Obama!", without really worrying about the consequences.
Lol, the NYT and WaPo, let me go get some news from Breitbart and The Blaze for you. Do you have any links? What law was it? Statute number? Anything?
