60% of Americans Disapprove of Trump. What Are Republicans Waiting For?
Profiles in courage.

BY CHARLES P. PIERCE

Sixty percent.

Sixty goddamn, motherfcking, everloving percent.

Donald Trump's disapproval rating as president* now stands at 60 percent. Lyndon never got there, not even at the depths of his unpopularity. Nixon got there, but it took two years of the Watergate scandal. George W. Bush needed to screw up monumentally for seven years. It took this guy five months.

In ordinary times, this would result in a president's opponents being immensely confident in resisting his policies. In ordinary times, this would result in the members of a president's party scrambling to save themselves from being sunk to the bottom of the abyss. In ordinary times, these dynamics only would be intensified by the fact that the dismal number appeared on the day that the president's attorney general had to go before a Senate committee to deny that he'd perjured himself in his confirmation hearings, and to deny that he'd been involved in meetings with a hostile foreign power.

But these are not ordinary times.
