    Daily Worry Up Sharply Since US Presidential Election

    The 33.3% of Americans feeling worried since Trump’s inauguration is the highest monthly average since the 33.7% recorded in September 2011, following the U.S. debt ceiling crisis and Standard & Poor’s downgrading of the U.S. credit rating. It is also similar to levels seen during the Great Recession in 2009.

    The 4.1-point increase in worry since Trump won the 2016 election is significantly higher than the 0.9-point increase recorded during the comparable period after Barack Obama won the 2008 election.

    The melt down is just beginning.. and the trump will be really mad at the media for developing this fake news.. The trump needs a big distraction.. perhaps blowing an Iranian dingy out of the water would give a bit of breathing room.. just a thought.

    Trump has ties to Russia but the FBI was another entity which helped install Trump. Why would Republicans or the FBI try and find any evidence when they got what they wanted? Putin himself “ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election.” Trumps campaign chair Paul Manafort communicated with senior Russian officials. Trump’s campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page has ties to Russia. Trump’s ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn has ties to Russia. Both Flynn and Sessions lied about their contact with Russia. The Trump team is pushing for a backchannel deal between Ukraine and Russia and was being put together by Flynn before he was caught. Trump has well known deals, loans and ties to Russia, just look at his tax returns.

    We went from a good president who kept us out of recession and gave us all health care to this little Russian dictator want-to-be.

    Dear Mr. Benson: Do you think you should take responsibility for putting this person in this position. Even a cursory glance of you pre-election cartoons indicates a significant bias in his favor. So stand up and be a man an admit in a cartoon that a. you were wrong; and that b. you want to apologize.
