A new Quinnipiac poll finds President Trump’s approval rate is a dismal 37% to 57%.

In an open ended question asking for the right word for Trump, voters are overwhelmingly negative with the most popular word being “idiot,” followed by “liar” and “incompetent.”

Said pollster Tim Malloy: “President Trump is known for hurling insults and he’s getting slammed right back.”

Ford Vox: “When President Trump slurred his words during a news conference this week, some Trump watchers speculated that he was having a stroke. I watched the clip and, as a physician who specializes in brain function and disability, I don’t think a stroke was behind the slurred words. But having evaluated the chief executive’s remarkable behavior through my clinical lens for almost a year, I do believe he is displaying signs that could indicate a degenerative brain disorder.”

“As the president’s demeanor and unusual decisions raise the potential for military conflict in two regions of the world, the questions surrounding his mental competence have become urgent and demand investigation.”

Washington Post: “When Mueller requests documents, they provide them. When Trump reacts to new twists in the Russia saga, they seek to calm him down. When he has questions about the law, such as the Logan Act or Magnitsky Act, they explain it. And when the president frets that Mueller may be getting too close to him, they assure him he has done nothing wrong, urge him to resist attacking the special counsel and insist that the investigation is wrapping up — first, they said, by Thanksgiving, then by Christmas and now by early next year.”

“As counsel for the world’s highest-profile client, every move and utterance by Dowd and Cobb has been scrutinized — and the criticism has been unkind.”

“Many in the Washington legal community chide them as being indiscreet, error-prone and outmatched. They say public blunders — such as Dowd and Cobb casually chatting about their legal strategy on the patio of a downtown Washington steakhouse in September within earshot of a reporter — suggest a lack of discipline.”

President Trump tweeted that the multiple allegations of sexual misconduct against him are nothing more than a Democratic ploy:

Despite thousands of hours wasted and many millions of dollars spent, the Democrats have been unable to show any collusion with Russia — so now they are moving on to the false accusations and fabricated stories of women who I don’t know and/or have never met. FAKE NEWS!

The Washington Post has “the growing list of women who have stepped forward to accuse Trump of touching them inappropriately.”

“President Trump’s legal team believes Attorney General Jeff Session’s Justice Department and the FBI — more than special counsel Robert Mueller himself — are to blame for what they see as a witch hunt,” Mike Allen reports.

“The result: They want an additional special counsel named to investigate the investigators.”

The new demand was prompted by a Fox News article: “Senior Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, demoted last week for concealing his meetings with the men behind the anti-Trump ‘dossier,’ had even closer ties to Fusion GPS, the firm responsible for the incendiary document, than have been disclosed: The official’s wife, Nellie Ohr, worked for Fusion GPS during the 2016 election.'”
