Donald Trump’s legacy is truth decay
by Will Marshall, PPI President
Our country is reeling under the dual onslaught of COVID-19 and runaway unemployment, but there’s one person who’s willing to give President Trump high marks for handling the situation: Donald Trump. “I think in a certain way, maybe our best work has been on what we’ve done with COVID-19,” he mused in an interview this week.
Most Americans disagree with Trump’s generous self-appraisal. “Since March 20, President Donald Trump’s net approval rating (approval minus disapproval) for his coronavirus response has dropped 23 points, settling at a new low of minus 9 this week,” reports Morning Consult, which tracks public opinion on the crisis daily.
