The latest Quinnipiac University poll found that 51% of Americans disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling his transition to the White House; 37% approve. While not the least bit surprising, these are historically bad numbers for an incoming president. Like, the worst in modern history, maybe ever. And we’re pretty confident that we haven’t hit the bottom yet.
Respondents also reported highly unfavorable views of Donald J.’s personal traits, with 53% saying he is dishonest, 52% saying they don’t believe he cares about the average American, and 62% saying he is “not level-headed.” Ouch.

But it gets worse. Because many of the people who are unhappy with how Trump is handling things are his very own supporters. A Twitter handle called @trumpbigregrets has been retweeting Trump voters’ grievances for the #PEEOTUS, which are equally hilarious and depressing. Sure, this seems to be a coordinated effort because they all say basically the same thing “I loved you but…”
How about we take this to the next level?

Still, they are too good to ignore and reflect the reality of Elect’s sinking poll numbers.

Trump as bad as a pervert queer? Wow! What a comment when in fact he is so much worse.
HalcyonDays
I’m glad these folks are seeing Trump for what he is, but how did they not see it prior to the election? His behavior is remarkably consistent.
Pistolo
Idiots. Now that he’s got the office, you can tell just by his cabinet selection that virtually anybody who isn’t equally powerful, a sycophant, or an investor is GARBAGE to him. And you know who the first heap of garbage he’s going to toss out is? His own stupidass voters. Not the “liberal elite”, he’s going to screw over the lemming dummies that voted for him because they were petty about Hillary or because they were just plain angry pricks who wanted to give the finger to their homeland. Well, buckle up, if you voted for Trump then this will be a blight on your history that YOU subjected to YOURSELF. Don’t blame Trump, blame yourself.
Neonegro
Oh yeah, they voted for TRUMP alright….lol…lol
As if Trump is behaving differently than when he ran.
Democrat losers masquerading as Trump voters.

The real consequences of electing Trump have yet to be seen. But before it’s all over, I can guarantee that there will be a few million more idiots who’ll regret ever casting their vote for him. Personally, I don’t want to hear them whine about any devastation he may cause as the ones who have the most to lose are the ones who elected him. So deal with the loss of your healthcare and the eminent assault on your finances.
flybyKnight
These are just a handful of the tens of millions of disenchanted individuals that voted for Trump. I’m surprised that this article is bolstered by the kind of polling that proved to be problematic during the November 2016 elections. The fundamental problem with political polling is the means by which pollsters contact prospective subjects as well as the individuals who finally pick up the phone. I’m encouraged that for the first time since Regan, Republicans are pondering healthcare at a national level, corporate patriotism, large infrastructure renewal projects and an end to interventionist warfare… things that only Progressives championed for the last three decades.
Frank
Just remember the following:
Great minds discuss ideas
Average minds discuss events
small minds discuss people…or
flybyKnight
@Neonegro: I would have phrased your critique a little more diplomatically, but I agree, I find it suspicious. I wonder if queerty vetted the accounts of this article to see if these posters truly supported Trump prior to Nov 8th. Now that would be journalism as opposed to bolstering the specter of “Fake News”.
charlietex
@flybyKnight: what level of stupid are you? Very. This is just a Twitter #. In fact it’s not news at all let alone fake news. What sort of journalism do you expect somebody to do. Somehow figure out who these Twitter posters are and then call them to confirm what they’ve written is true. Seriously figure stuff out before posting stupidly
Rob91316
Cry me a river, Deplorables!
flybyKnight
@charlietex: wow… looks like I hit a nerve. Sorry hon…Kisses 🙂
Neonegro
@flybyKnight: well said , but Queerty has never claimed to practice journalism.
The part they don’t understand is that we have no regret for voting for Trump.
The same Trump we watched during the primaries is the same Trump we saw in the general election and is the same Trump we see today.
During that entire journey we have always wished he would be more diplomatic and not attack so much, yet we still voted for him.
Just because we disagree with his behavior does not mean we regret voting for him.
The libertards are suffering from a bad case of TMS (Trump Madness Syndrome), they just don’t know what to do with themselves.
And it has been such a pleasure watching their torment.
Louis
@Neonegro: People like you are so damn juvenile the word libtard is pathetic as well as asinine also it has no actual meaning and your disgusting party speaks for itself in that regard.
Your party has no class humility tact or empathy for anyone but yourselves and even then you have no problem with throwing your own under the bus when it benefits you to hell with the rights and liberties of our community that your party consistently tries to violate or infringe upon.
Using the word retard a highly offensive and incendiary word meant to mock those who are actually far more intellectually advanced then most Americans are in this country does not make your party look like the mature civilized progressive intelligent ones it makes your party look like the exact opposite.
There is anything classy about acting trashy thats all your party ever does.
Grow the hell up already or keep going and continue to embarrass your political party even more then people like you consistently do in this country already.
You think all this nanny nanny boo boo bullshit means anything to the rest of us who arent republican you better think again we are actually concerned for this countries future as well as our rights LGBT rights in this country and how we could now possibly lose a lot of the progress that Obama actually made possible when he was president in this country.
Louis
I also have no sympathy for those who voted for this man they created this disaster the country now faces and its all on them not the rest of us who voted with our hearts and conscience last November.
I especially have no sympathy for the imbecile who used incendiary anti gay epithets in order to scold Trump for his behavior.
That users intolerance exemplifies perfectly the kind of uneducated nonsense and narrowmindedness that exists within the republican party in this country.
jag4313
He was a bully during the debates and he’s a bully now. The Republican’s wanted a bully president. Now it’s time to sit back and watch the racism, sexism and bullying take over this country.
1EqualityUSA
I was working in our wine cellar for hours yesterday. Ever since Trump happened, I’ve been finding tons of work to do around the house. I have decided to forego 2016 altogether, downstairs, no matter if the fruit cultivated this year was exquisite. 2016, no. Nor would I buy a model of car from this year. 2016 blows. Zero interest in inaugural festivities. Window sills could use a coat of paint, chased an echo in the garage, gave the dogs a bath. Four more years of this and our casa will be ship-shape and Bristol fashion. jag4313 said, Now it’s time to sit back and watch the racism, sexism, and bullying take over the country.” The Republicans will never live Trump down; reputations, ruined. The youngsters are fired up. “Indivisible” movement is catching fire. Any Senator who votes for Jeff Sessions needs to be drummed out of office. That’s the tell.
Mo Bro
Well, judging by the ongoing tantrums being exhibited by the left, The Donald is obviously doing something right.
1EqualityUSA
Twitter tantrums are worse, especially when they set policy in writing without thinking it through. This adolescent cannot control his temper. You call this doing something right, TeroBro.
WillParkinson
@jag4313: But he was supposed to bully OTHER people!
Kangol
@Mo Bro: “Ongoing tantrums being exhibited by the left.” You ought to take up comedy, though without irony. The “right” exhibited a dangerous, hate-filled ongoing “tantrum” for eight years under Barack Obama, after doing zilch while George W. Bush destroyed this country and globe, and went after gay people from 2000-2008. But you’re happy and gaily celebrating Trumpster, right? Twirling at the inauguration with Alistair, for this incoming president who is the least liked in US history? Right?
Bob LaBlah
@Mo Bro: Tell us your opinion on what damning evidence John McCain/Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell have seen regarding Mr. Trump and whether or not you think McCain has joined the “liberals” in his DEMANDING that an investigation be conducted. Have you taken note that as every day passes and more allegations surface regarding Trumps behavior while in Russia for the beauty pageant he owns NOT ONE prominent republican has come to his defense?

Who did these jackasses think they were voting for? All of this was common knowledge the entire time he was running and long before any of this.
Now they complain? Now they have regrets? And the vast majority of them are so stupid they still “defend” him while saying they think he’s an idiot. Trump accurately called them stupid and said they’d vote for him anyway… even if he fired a gun into a crowd. They did.
Bob LaBlah
@Mo Bro: Here’s what was suppose to happen: The GOP destroys Obamacare with absolutely nothing to put in its place. Trump was suppose to simply sign it into law while knowing there was nothing to replace it, but he won’t do it that way. By not agreeing to get rid of Obamacare without a replacement plan his action has put the GOP in a position where they have no other choice BUT to leave it in place because they don’t have anything that would be cheaper nor cover as many people. And keep in mind, not only is congress but the entire country (practically) is under GOP control. And not ONE GOP governor is willing to light the fire because they know what will happen if they do. Chaos and rebellion during mid-term elections.
It appears you elected a loud mouth, drugged out liberal that other liberals were able to see thru but you, the conservatives, REFUSED to see reality (Trump) for what he was all along. How does it feel? Well, your childish response answered that question, didn’t it?
Neonegro

@jag4313: not just the republicans but also many independents like myself and some democrats who voted for Hussein in the last election.

Good luck

@1EqualityUSA: Actually the tweets don’t set policy in writing.
Neonegro
@Bob LaBlah: Then you should be happy, we elected a closet liberal for you. No?????
1EqualityUSA
Writing tweets and voicing opinions publicly on policy is a tactic. Mr. Trump scares the pie out of me. It’s like piling into a car, only to realize that the driver is under the influence and the others are oblivious to the danger. The White House is intense. Sensibleness seems far away. Obama was blessed. The Oval Office must test one’s resolve. Humble fortitude. Scary shit. (Sorry for that last word, but this is exactly what I heard, so there it is.)
Neonegro
@1EqualityUSA: I hear you and understand your fear.
I don’t share such fear and know there is a system in place and the president is just one of the players.
Trump enjoys upsetting his opponents but the military-industrial system is safe.
Some tweaking here and there but basically same old shit.

Trump as bad as a pervert queer? How bad is a queer? What type of queer is that comment referring to? If that “queer” is all about people who do not fit in those stupid little boxes that heteronormativity imposes on our tremendously varied sex and gender diversity, I’m sorry to say, but you are not better than Trump, pal. ^^ On the other hand, if you mean by that something close to a psychopath, I totally agree with you.
Americans have never got so far from any good sense than when they elected Trump. I know most of the votes were for Hillary. But how could you work out such an electoral system? One in which the loser takes it all.
I have missed Obama since he started his second mandate, just because I knew he couldn’t be re-elected though he should.
And, by the way… Trump does not make his voters look stupid… You know why…
Sergio Viula

SergioViula, The stains are the most difficult to remove. That’s what is happening. The GOP will never live this down. The demographics are turning away from this. The one percenters have a resilient say on the world stage, many of whom are not above involving other leaders from other countries. When Exxon eclipses U.S.A.-wrought policies, the hunt for deposits outweighs the strife and subsequent wars left in its wake. Why would oil companies care about wars, funded by our tax dollars? If war opens up a seaport, oil will need transportation, “Works for us.” The Great Aleppo Grand Expressway will host the massive thoroughfare, kind Sirs. Perhaps a canal, save the Euphrates should find itself parched. “We could use the work.” The presidency, our government, is chasing tail. The nation’s educational system is making haste of our totter. Any party cutting funding to education is a part of the problem, not a solution.

@Neonegro: I hear you and understand your fear.
You show over and over that you really don’t understand much. Why do hetero folks like you come here to troll the gay community, especially with that faux “black” name you use? It is pretty obvious you are not a person of color. Why would anyone but a fool gloat over electing a buffoon to the office of president, especially claiming they knew he was a buffoon?
What makes you think LGBT folks have any regard for your regressive, juvenile and rather petulant posts? Folks here call you a fool not because they are “throwing tantrums”. They do so because you are, in fact, a fool. Fool enough to (by your own admission) intentionally support corruption and bad judgement in the white house. Whether you have the intellect to fear for the next 4 years or not, you will share in whatever suffering Trump wreaks on the american people, though as a heterosexual you will not share in the loss of progress we will suffer. Likely you will celebrate it.
SergioViula
@1EqualityUSA: “Any party cutting funding to education is a part of the problem, not a solution.” Totally agreed. And the cost of all those wars are far from being over when taxes are used to sponsor them. There will always be extra trouble on the way as soon as the “heroes” march back home or, perhaps, as soon as they step into the battle field. And the problems are many, ranging from soldiers and staff who come back in mental mess to terrorists who attack on the ground and in the sky. It won’t be easy to untangle so many strings.
1EqualityUSA
These strings encompass generations.

One of these young tech-billionaires could come up with an online school. When the voucher system causes public schools to fail, it would be practical to have additional support from technology. Based on a reward system, each completed class, finalized in a testing center, achieves dollars earned towards scholarships. Laptops and gift certificates earned for school supplies could also entice better grades along the way. Each lesson could have three different people explaining the same thing, so that were a student to be perplexed, tutors are clicked open. The Little Rad Schoolhouse could be open to everybody wanting to learn, a way to bypass the GOP obstruction of education. It could supplement a subpar education.
