From Forbes, by John Zogby The Donald Trump Presidency defies all the rules, not unlike like the Trump personality. It is difficult to find good news about what the President is doing and what he has accomplished. Often enough even the accomplishments fail to please very many people inside the Beltway or among the…
From Forbes, by John Zogby In my May 6 Forbes post, I tried to explain that the essence of President Donald Trump’s support was that he expresses genuine hurts that many Americans feel. Reprehensible as his persona and message can be at times, he has a story of being personally disrespected and unappreciated –…
From Forbes, by John Zogby As of this writing, President Donald Trump’s average approval rating is 45% for the past week, including a Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll which scores him at 51%. It enrages liberals who are too myopic and one-dimensional to see deep down the real source of his support base. Conservatives will cheer…
From Forbes, by John Zogby The mean-spirited nature of the president’s firing of the Secretary of State via Twitter, followed by his Attorney General’s firing of Deputy Director of the FBI, two days before his retirement, suggests once again that Donald Trump is not prepared to lead a country, let alone a company or anything…
From Forbes, by John Zogby Republican Congressional candidates have not only just lost their seventh straight special election in previously GOP held seats, but they have also lost a special Senate election in Alabama.

From Forbes, by John Zogby The opinion polls on both President Donald Trump’s approval rating and the congressional generic ballot are all over the place. For example, USA Today/Suffolk Univeristy published a poll of 1,000 registered voters showing Mr. Trump’s approval at 38% and Democrats leading the generic ballot by a whopping 15 points…
From Forbes, by John Zogby President Donald Trump has signaled that he could very well support ending loopholes on sales at gun shows and could consider renewing the ban on assault weapons that has not been law since 2004. Generally, Americans who support gun control become enraged when horrible events take place then the outrage…
From Forbes, by John Zogby Please note that I wrote this piece a couple of weeks ago and put it aside because of President Trump’s reference to African countries as “shitholes”, something that required its own airing. But on an equally disgusting footing, Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury has taken the nation by storm. It…
From Forbes, by John Zogby Love him or hate him – and there is no in between when Americans look at Donald Trump – we have to admit that the President had his A-game tonight when he delivered his first State of the Union message. Mr. Trump stuck close to his teleprompter and helped redefine…
From Sky News, by John Zogby We cannot really say we have never seen anything like this before. The United States has had its populist presidents – Andrew Jackson in the 1830s and Theodore Roosevelt in the early 20th century. Both were volatile, bullies, self-styled “tribunes” or “stewards” of the people, and truly racist. We…
