"Retrograde" would be the kindest word one could apply to Trump and his fans. The Dems have their problems alright, but Donny has taken his troubled nation backward and empowered the worst of the right -- the supremacists and NeoNazis, all the usual rednecks, the sort who dismiss science and formal education. And some still insist on seeing him as a revolutionary, even with his silver-spoon existence and Goldman-Sachs advisors. 
Those who deny the reality of his record low polls would be the first to crow if those same polls rose in his favour. Hypocrisy is an essential part of the Trump regime, as is the trick of denouncing as "fake" any report that contradicts his blustery nonsense.
