Jij vind het een goed idee dat de FBI haar eigen baas onderzoek t? Special council is gemaakt voor dergelijke onderzoeken. Waarom niet dus?

En we zijn ondertussen bijna 1 jaar verder sinds Trump de Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingen won (en Hillary is ondertussen quasi volledig verdwenen uit de politieke wereld). De linkse haters die nog gehoopt hadden dat Trump snel zou vallen zijn er ondertussen aan voor de moeite. Zelf vond ik het een bijzonder goed presidentsjaar:

- Beurzen stijgen dag na dag naar nieuwe historische toppen. Vooral de Amerikaanse beursindexen nemen hierbij de leiding, het vertrouwen is hier veel hoger dan pakweg op de Europese of de Aziatische beurzen. Zie bijv. de S&P500 sinds Trump aan de macht kwam.
- Werkloosheidscijfers zijn fors verbeterd
- Het huidige presidentiële kabinet is duidelijk meer pro-life oriented dan de voorgangers
- Obamacare is gelukkig geblokkeerd
- De USA is terecht niet meegestapt in de klimaathysterie en het internationale klimaatakoord
- ...

Van mij mogen ze nog 3 jaar doordoen op deze manier

President Trump has been buffeted by historically low approval ratings, a probe into Russian election meddling and innumerable other controversies, but he has enjoyed one consistent bright spot during his first year in office: the economy.
The good news continued on Friday, with the latest official data showing robust growth. Gross domestic product grew at an annualized rate of 3 percent during the third quarter. It was the second quarter in row where growth hit that mark.
The new figures come as the White House and Republicans on Capitol Hill move into top gear in their efforts to pass tax reform. If they are successful, it will stimulate the economy further, they say.
At the White House media briefing on Friday, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, “The engine of the American economy is revving up, and the president is ready to pour in the rocket fuel through massive tax cuts and reforms.”
Trump allies say that the president himself prioritizes the economy above all else — in part because of pride in his own business record, but also because he recognizes that the people who put him into office are desperate to see an uptick in their fortunes.
“There is nothing I have seen him more obsessed about, and focused on, than that one issue,” said Chris Ruddy, the CEO of Newsmax Media and a personal friend of the president. “Donald Trump lights up when you start talking about things related to bringing jobs back to the United States — especially in states that lost employment during the economic crisis or are in the Rust Belt.”
Politically, conservatives take heart from the growth in the economy, seeing it as an asset that can supersede other concerns about Trump.
“While some of us either obsess about, or look forward to, President Trump’s next tweet, the rest of the country doesn’t really worry about those things,” said conservative strategist Greg Mueller. “They want to know how they are doing: How are their wages growing, is their burden from high taxation lessening?”
But if that is true, it doesn’t explain why the strong performance of the economy hasn’t lifted Trump’s approval ratings.
In the RealClearPolitics polling average, Trump’s job performance won approval from just 39.4 percent of the electorate while 56.1 percent disapproved, as of Friday evening.
In a Fox News poll released earlier this week, Trump fell to a 38 percent approval rating — the lowest mark in the Fox survey during his time in office. His support was also softening among some groups whom he depends upon, such as white men without college degrees.
Some pollsters argue that Trump is such a deeply unconventional figure that standard factors such as economic performance play a smaller than normal role in determining voters’ opinions of him.
“Typically, a new president with a strong economy would have very good approval numbers,” said Tom Jensen, the director of Public Policy Polling, a Democratic-leaning firm. “But his personal conduct is squandering the usual goodwill. … If he stopped tweeting, he could get toward a positive approval rating, but the tweeting is sort of overriding everything else.”
It may be the case that some people are so firm in their disapproval of Trump that nothing will change their minds.
But some experts do acknowledge that Trump's current poll standings — weak though they are — could be even worse, were if not for the good economic news.
Allan Lichtman, an American University professor and one of the few experts to predict a Trump victory over Hillary Clinton last November, asserted that the president’s poll ratings were “dismal” but argued that “they would be even lower if the economy were to tank.”
Lichtman noted that former President George W. Bush had poor approval ratings for much of his second term, as the situation in Iraq got worse and the federal response to Hurricane Katrina was widely criticized.
But Bush’s lows became even lower as the economy went off the rails in 2008. Just a week before his successor, President Obama, won the 2008 presidential election, Bush’s approval rating with Gallup stood at just 25 percent.
Lichtman also noted a potentially more positive parallel for Trump: President Reagan’s approval ratings sank at the start of his time in office, alongside a recession that only ended in November 1982, two years after Reagan was elected.
In Gallup polling, Reagan’s average approval rating during 1982 was just 43 percent, but it shot up to 56 percent by 1984, the year he won reelection by a landslide.
“But Reagan was a sympathetic figure, people were ready to approve of him,” Lichtman argued. "Donald Trump, by his own hand, may have precluded that kind of rise by being such a polarizing figures and so antagonizing to such a huge swath of the country.”
For the moment, conservatives keep faith that economic gains will yield political dividends in time.
“Tax reform could supercharge the economy,” Mueller said. “That leaves him and the Republican Party with the potential to go into 2018 with a soaring economy.”
More generally, Mueller added, “people vote their pocketbooks not their Twitter feeds.”
But that is yet another rule of conventional politics the Trump presidency could put to the test.

Wat heeft Trump zelfs te maken met het feit dat de economie vooruitgaat? Bij mijn weten heeft dat niks met zijn "beleid" (wat heeft hij zelfs al klaargespeeld?) te maken hoor. Ge kunt hem evengoed de hemel in prijzen omdat de zon elke dag opkomt. Hij is nog geen jaar president en heeft nog niks noemenswaardig veranderd voor zover ik weet.

Trump and Republicans have vowed to enact tax reform this year for the first time since 1986. But the plan to deliver up to $6 trillion in tax cuts for businesses and individuals faces challenges even from rank-and-file House Republicans.
