It's going to take a lot of Russians, gerrymandering and a war to get re-elected:
JUST IN: Only 39% of Americans approve of Donald Trump in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll. His career average approval rating remains the lowest on record for a president at this point in office in polls dating to the Truman administration.

Yeahbutt those polls are skewed - his approval rating among his supporters is at 110%, but the Lamestream #FAKENUDES media never publish FACTS that challenge the SJW Marxist hegemony.

This could be interesting. Under the US Constitution states control their own election process, including elections for federal office. If even one or two states pass a law requiring presidential and vice presidential candidates to release their tax returns, it seems likely Trump would take them to court. While as the article notes, these are states in which Trump is unlikely to prevail in a presidential election, his ego and authoritarianism would probably compel him. Though the states' power of control is subject to federal laws, there is no federal law on the books preventing states from instituting such a requirement. I think courts would have to uphold the state laws.

'Blue states move to block Donald Trump from 2020 ballot'
As President Donald Trump continues to refuse requests to hand over copies of his tax returns from Democrats on Capitol Hill, state lawmakers are considering making their release a condition of the 2020 presidential election.

Neary twenty states across the county have introduced legislation that would require all presidential and vice presidential candidates to release their individual tax returns in order to appear on the ballot during the presidential or general election, according to data from the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL).

...

Despite a few exceptions, nearly all of the state bills that have been introduced would require candidates to post at least five years of their individual tax returns. In addition, virtually every state bill has been introduced by a Democratic lawmaker, an apparent reaction to Trump's decision to buck decades of tradition during the 2016 election cycle when he refused to release his tax returns.

Although not required by law, every major party presidential nominee since the 1970s has chosen to publicly release his or her tax returns except for Gerald Ford, who only released a summary. Financial disclosures can help paint a fuller picture of a candidate's business positions and interests by providing information about financial dealings, such as investments, donations, business relationships, assets and possible conflicts of interests.

...

The tax return bills some states are currently considering would circumvent what is likely to be a lengthy legal battle between the Trump administration and Congress — though, as CNN noted, "it isn't clear if the risk of missing the ballot on states likely to give their Electoral College votes to a Democrat in 2020 would sway the president." Questions also remain whether states requiring presidential candidates to release their tax returns in order to appear on the ballot would be constitutional.

Yeah it does not work. States can control election districts, hours etc. The congressional and presidential candidates have to fullfill all the constitutional requirements. Nothing more.
States ARE allowed to have electoral college districts. It does not need to be winner take all.

37% is what they got in poll. They should have asked more questions.
40% never want Trump impeached. Leaves about 20% vague.

Trump: "I'm a student of history."

Also Trump:

"I don't know what the thirteen stripes represent."
Regarding Andrew Jackson: "He was really angry that he saw what was happening in regard to the Civil War."
"Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who's done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice."
Regarding Lincoln: “Great president. Most people don’t even know that he's a Republican, right? Does anyone know? A lot of people don’t know that.”
"France is America's first and oldest ally. A lot of people don't know that."
"France helped us secure our independence. A lot of people forget."
Regarding George Washington: "If he was smart, he would have put his name on it. You’ve got to put your name on stuff or no one remembers you."
Was George Washington "really rich"?

Trump is a student of history in the same way as Hans-Joachim Bohlmann was an art lover.
