      According to your own stats, the majority of people disagree with that assessment and think things are still getting worse.

      But regardless, what people think isn’t necessarily reflective of reality. This is the best argument you can muster, not that Trump is actually improving things in specific, tangible ways, but just, “My guy has managed to convince marginally fewer people to hate him than hated the last guy.” Of course, we’ll see how many people still feel that way by the end of his term when we’ll have likely fallen into a recession thanks to his bullshit.

          If you look at the historical polls about the direction of the country, wrong track always win, it is just a matter of how bad.

          Yeah, no shit. That’s the point. What you’re bragging about is “Most people hate us, but they hate us marginally less than they hated the other guy.” It’s pretty pathetic that that’s the point we’re at.

          Significant improvement since taking office is a good first step for the Trump administration.

          It’s not a “good first step for the Trump administration.” Trump didn’t do shit to actually improve anything, it’s just that he has a significant following who defend anything and everything he does, or are willing to give a different face a chance. Democratic voters are more likely to vote reluctantly while still seeing the country on the wrong track if their guy wins. It means nothing. The minority of people who think like you are simply wrong and the majority who disagree with you are correct.
