Dear Donald Trump: This is not ‘FAKE NEWS’, this is just bad news — for you.

The president’s approval rating took a nose dive before the July 4 weekend. And yes, it has everything to do with his Twitter storms aimed at the media.

It plummeted to 37 percent, according to Gallup’s tracking poll. That’s compared to a disapproval rating of 57 percent, as of early July.

The polls are based on daily telephone interviews of around 1,500 adults.


Even more worryingly, however, is the fact his approval rating has soared way below support for impeachment.

Around 47 percent of voters would like to see Trump impeached, according to a survey by Public Policy Polling in the wake of the James Comey testimony in Congress back in June.



Not good.

What is impeachment and how does it work? Impeachment is referred to in the US constitution as: ‘The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.’ Put simply, if congress doesn’t like what the president is doing, it has the power to remove him from office. But for them to do so, there has to be evidence of misconduct. Someone in the US House of Representatives must then present a resolution calling for impeachment. A committee will investigate the accusations of misconduct. Whether or not there are actual grounds for impeachment is voted on. If all agree, the Senate will hold an impeachment trial. Two-thirds of the Senate must vote in favour of conviction for the president to be removed. Impeachment doesn’t happen often, nor is it a quick resolve. Only two president have ever been impeached: Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton.

Trump was busy stoking the ‘FAKE NEWS’ fire last week by attacking Morning Joe presenters Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough.

He ignited a war of words by tweeting: ‘I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don’t watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came…

‘…to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year’s Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!’

The tweets caused such an outrage that one member of Congress spoke of banning his account.

Kieth Ellison said: ‘My thought is that we have long, long known that Donald Trump abuses people on social media, much like any common social media bully.

‘The problem is, he’s been doing it and he’s never had to pay a price for it.

‘I personally think that Twitter as a company should treat him just like any other social media harasser. I mean it’s a private company, he doesn’t have a right to have a Twitter account. And if he’s misusing it and abusing people, serially, I think he shouldn’t have an account.’
