Oh really? What, pray tell, changed so much about the situation as to justify as radical a change in position as that? 'Obama gave away the farm for very little from Iran' - that's nonsense and you know it. And as for what Trump has given up, I feel like a broken record but I guess I can't expect people to read all my posts in the thread before replying, so fine: it's not about what he gave up cost America, it's about how much it was worth to North Korea.

The reason that Trump's approval ratings are creeping up is that constant outrage is exhausting and people just want to get over it and move on. And by 'people' I certainly also mean me. But he keeps being irresponsible, moronic, flighty, egomaniac and generally insufferable, so moving on just means caving in and dramatically reducing your standards. Sorry, not gonna do that. That the sky isn't falling, sure, but still he's leaving America and the world worse off than he found them. He hasn't faced much in the way of serious challenges, and failed to impress at any of the lesser challenges that I've seen.

Sure, Trump is winning inside the Republican party, since primary after primary shows that most Republicans who rate principles or independence of thought over blind loyalty to a moronic leader will get punished for it. And since many Democrats do seem to overestimate how far left the average American voter is willing to follow them, I guess many of the Republican voters or independents who haven't drunk the kool-aid will still reluctantly keep voting for Trump and his lackeys in general elections. But call me an optimist, I don't think Trump voters will let themselves be taken for fools forever.
