Happy Presidents Day, Mr Trump.

[EDDIE51]

Today is 'Presidents Day' in the USA ( No I didn't know there was one either)
Trump has made it on to list of 'Presidential Greatness' .
He is number 44 out of 44.

Mikey would have loved this!

It will probably annoy the president (as all available evidence suggests that he follows this kind of thing very closely). Indeed, it has probably been done for that purpose.

On the basis of a first year comparison I find it hard to disagree.

//Indeed, it has probably been done for that purpose.//

I agree, but I wouldn't have thought he gives a hoot. He's used to it by now.

[Sqad]

He has done about 14 months as President........give him a chance........then judge him.

A meaningless survey by a group of academic gents who, I would guess, would be mainly Democrats.....just a guess.

[Gromit]

You missed it.
Presidents’ Day was Monday (19th February ).

[Kromovaracun]

All available insider accounts and also the president's own behaviour on twitter strongly suggest that he cares deeply about even superficial signs of being respected and admired. So I imagine (when he gets up) that this will annoy him considerably and we'll probably get another spree of venomous tweets about it.

[naomi24]

You can hope.

It may not be the full solution but at least he is the only President that has done something to address the Gun crime in his country.

Not just Democrats who hold Trump in low regard.

// The low opinion of the current president crosses party lines. Of the scholars surveyed, Republicans put him 40th, still in the bottom five. //

Trump spent the Presidents’ Day weekend at his Golf resort in Florida. However, mindful of it not looking good him playing golf while Florida school children were being buried, he spent the weekend tweeting instead of golfing. His Tweets actually accentuated his unpresidentialness, including an attack on Opra Winfrey.

AOG.Please read your own link !. All Trump has done is ban a device that turns a legal gun into an illegal machine gun.

[dannyk13]

Which means that now the lunatics on a killing spree will have to reload.Not much of a solution to the problem,

Or buy twice as many guns, I suppose, a boon for the struggling US arms industry.

“a boon for the struggling US arms industry.”

It was my knowledge that the us arms industry was booming unless you otherwise?

Buy twice as many guns??? lol.
One can only fire two non machine guns at a time, the fire power of those two guns cannot be compared to the fire power of a machine gun.

Then surely that has got to be good, as anything that can cut down the fire power of a weapon as got to be.

One needs to reload all guns no matter how many shots they can fire at one time, but surely if this banning can cut down on the number of dead at one loading the better.

I feel sure that all three of you have never fired a weapon in your lives, not counting a catapult.

Eddie,
for the record
"Presidents Day in the United States is celebrated on the third Monday of February. In 2018, the holiday falls on 19 February to create the “Presidents Day weekend.”
so, not the 21st

Wasn't his approval rating higher than that of Obama's on the same date ( time in office) recently?

These people are political enemies posturing as journalists who create “fake news” to destroy me, says Trump. Enraged media, responding, reveal themselves to be not far removed from what Trump says they are.

And, since Trump, media credibility has plummeted.
