while President Obama's popularity is on the rise .
Yeah I guess if you are at -21 and go up to -20 , that technically is a rise ....for some....pun intended....
Don't let facts trouble you, but it was more like from 43% to 50%.
It seems, when folks see just how horrible things could be (Trump) what they have now (Obama) doesn't seem quite as bad.

We live in a country where there is almost NOTHING you can do without having to ask the govt permission or filling out some kind of form, and people are worried about fascism? I hate to break this to you but we have been living under fascism ever since our currency became a banking cartel.

It's astonishing.
Every poll that asks a wider range of Americans about Trump finds that he is massively UNPOPULAR among the public at large.
Yet, reading these threads, Trump is the populist hero of our time ...
Compare that with the fact that, here in reality, he is seen as a billionaire, bloviating, egomaniac that has obliterated what little decorum was left in American politics.
Gallup
... while President Obama's popularity is on the rise ... RCP
This "Trump has changed everything in politics" is the worst joke of the last 30 years.

Only on internet forums polluted with far right, white nationalists do you see the narrative being spun that Trump is great. To other Americans he is a threat to ourselves, our neighbors, our families, our friends.

Exactly! (Hand clap)
or even a true understanding of the bloody history Islam at large has fighting wars globally for centuries across continents. It never has been nor will it ever be a peaceful religion and it has repeatedly and endlessly fought against those who have opposing beliefs.
I honestly think we have been drawn into this whole brainwashing of "Ooo you can't say this, Ooooo You can't say that" bull crap that we have truly lost the idea or knowledge of what is really going on in the world. Even MSM only shows you what "the man" wants to show you. Combined, you have a sheeple type nation who is honestly scared of saying what really should be said.
Hey, you're all thinking it whether you admit it or not. It's true.....it's ingrained. Just like Islam perhaps....ahem.

Trump is actually a nationalist. I'd also argue a nationalistic attitude is exactly what this country needs right now and it's exactly what Europe should have had before letting in all the refugees which are tearing those countries apart.
What we're seeing from the left however, from Shillary and Bernie falls much closer to communism. What we're seeing by protesters at Trump rallies, the intent to shut down the 1st amendment rights of Americans to meet on private property, supported by both Shillary and Bernie are communist tactics used before throughout world history.
That the Bernie supported rioters are stomping on American flags and wearing shirts which say "F*** Amerikkka" while trumping on the 1st amendment rights of Americans shows how anti-American they are at their core.
Our forefathers would be rolling over in their graves at such anti-American sentiment being not only accepted but celebrated. That the left feels they have the right to do that while negating the rights of others to want to protect our borders and concentrate on improving the lives of Americans here, not immigrants from elsewhere is simply amazing. That the left will congregate and use tactics which will get your head chopped off in nations they also support is the height of hypocrisy. That they also constantly defend Islam and women's rights while in many Islamic countries women have next to no rights and need to remain covered just to avoid getting raped, is also the height of hypocrisy.
If these leftists tried these same tactics in Saudi Arabia, or Syria, or Iran, or even in the US backed Israel where Christianity has been under threat for decades, among a number of other nations their attitudes would change will quickly. Much of the left's attitude and bravado comes from insulation and isolation which affords that level of ignorance.

Disclaimer:
Before I get blamed for buying into this. First of all i'm an Australian. Secondly, I don't live in the US. Now, even though I'm told to mind my own business by most Americans on here when it comes to politics, I believe this concerns us all. After all, we're talking about the leader of the world effectively. No matter which way you are looking at it.
From an outsiders point of view, I believe Trump has a point! Sure he's loud, crazy and just a tad showy but much of what he says is right.
Sure, you've got involved in a few fights you shouldn't have over the years and even came out with a bloody nose. But I really think you need a new leader who isn't afraid to tell others to F off.

Tell me what part of requiring special ID for a segment of a population is just simple nationalism?
Like the social security number created by FDR. A Democrat.
Like people having to whip out their papers every time they want to practice their second amendment right?
Then after 200 years of that never having existed. Comes along Clinton. Another Democrat. That made it a LAW that people had to get the states permission first before they could.
And people seriously whine about Trump.
And people seriously call Trump 'fascist'.
When Trump critics need to look in the mirror.
