You will not hear or read the following about President Trump, but it must be said.
No need to rehash past criticisms, before or after his election. All the public
needs to understand is what the media refuses to tell them. President Trump
is doing fine!
First, the media is quick to compare President Trump's poll numbers that hover
between 35-45 percent with President Obama's most recent poll rating.
Although this is the common practice, does it make sense to compare a
sitting president with authority against a former one?
It would be better to compare the two branches of government, Congress
and the presidency, which both must serve the American people concurrently.
The public should know how a president's poll numbers compare to the legislative
body he must work with!
When we see the media and other Trump critics point to his polling numbers
we should be 'curious' why they neglect to compare his performance with that
of Congress. If they would, the public would learn President Trump, like most
presidents, easily out performs Congress by at least a three to one margin!
Noted below is a most recent survey.

Congress has been below 40% for over a decade, and hovering around 20% for the past five years!
The Congress, no matter which party is in the majority, rarely gets high marks. Issues are rarely
resolved, problems are passed from one Congress to the next. Budgets are never on time, and
deficit spending is as common as member of Congress retiring a millionaire after first securing a
job as a lobbyist.

President Trump is right to criticize his OWN party for failing to keep campaign promises. And,
judging from polls of the president and Congress we see where the public stands.

President Trump is doing in his own way what Teddy Roosevelt did when he was president, using
the 21st century version of the 'bully pulpit' and calling out those who have failed the people, including
past presidents!

But, President Trump does even more, he takes ownership of problems, no matter how long they have smoldering and offers solutions to solve them which is why more than sixty million Americans elected him.
President's Trump's supporters see him taking on the Washington "business as usual' form of
governance. He calls out current leaders in Congress and even goes where no president has done,
calls out his predecessors whose promises went unfulfilled.

Donald Trump has turned the page on old-style Washington and little by little is putting his imprint how government should serve the people.
We are a long from determining whether "Mr. Trump goes to Washington" will end as well as the version
which starred Jimmy Stewart.

But, if nothing else, President Trump has galvanized tens of millions of Americans to seek a single goal,
make our country once again aspire to our Founders' promise!
