A new CNN/SSRS Poll for the period September 06, 2018 to September 09, 2018 shows that Trump's approval level has dropped 6 points just in the last month. Overall, only 36% approve of the way Trump is handling his job.

Here's the actual poll results, the results begin on page 16 (no link to CNN news article due to auto-play video and too many ads).

    The frame has changed.  

    We are now discussing broadly the possibility the president is a demented child.

    This is not, as the say, sustainable

    Literally as I typed that (commercial delay) Piggy Noonan just said - I fu@king swear - "...it's a "funny thing" with Donald Trump.  He knows he doesn't sound "presidential" .....I think feels if he acts "presidential" and "fully dignified" it is a consession to his critics"

    I swear to god

    And rest my case

    commiserate with his dear friend, Vladimir. Putin's popularity, too, has fallen as a result of his proposal to increase the retirement age (a left over from the Sovietsky era); and, his attempt to soften the proposal appears to not have had the desired effect.

     No wonder, since the change, for women is from age 55 to 60 (instead of 63), and for men, it is unchanged: from 60 to 65.  Putin's plan for women is reflected in his statement that "in our country, there is a special, gentle attitude to women."

     With the retirement age for men at 65, and the life expectancy of men in Russia being 66 (the European average is 79), the plan does portend budgetary economies.  

    Putin has appealed to Russians, taking the uncustomary step of discussing the "painful" matter on T.V., claiming that without urgent action, Russia risked economic collapse, hyperinflation, and threats to national security.

      Putin's unpopularity is aggravated by his promise in 2005 that he would never raise the retirement ages. However, Russia is faced not only with an economy hobbled by falling oil prices and Western sanctions, but also, concerns for demographic changes over time.

      Russia's population decreased by 164,000 for the first six months of this year, compared with 119,000 during the same period last year. By 2044, the government predicts that the number of pensioners may equal the number of people at work.

    Putin's proposal has resulted in wide-spread protests... no doubt to the envy of that other leader whose popularity is cratering, Putin has arrested and jailed Alexi Navalny, a protest leader, who says the change in retirement ages is a robbery masquerading as necessary reform.

     It would seem prudent for all such Russian proest leaders to use a geiger counter to stir their tea.

    the GOP loves Putin so much. He sounds just like them. I can see Paul Ryan saying the exact same thing Putin just spouted.

    "3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. As time went by it did not go up by much. Then, a long time later, they started to report really large numbers, like 3000 . . . This was done by the Democrats in order to make me look as bad as possible when I was successfully raising Billions of Dollars to help rebuild Puerto Rico. If a person died for any reason, like old age, just add them onto the list."

    Would it be worse if he's just lying here and knows he's lying of if he really doesn't know he's lying?

    for whom? Our country is fked no matter what.

    Lying has been part of tRump's MO for decades, he was well aware of it in the past so I suspect that he is aware of it, at least at at some level. It's also probable that he is so far around the bend that he is unable to even discern the truth of anything so he almost unerringly defaults to his trying to lie his way out of anything and everything.

    Why did he even tweet this? The story was alr
