I think the way he talks and name calls and disrespects people worked during the election process because it got him attention from the media and some people liked that he was being "real". However, now I think it is decreasing his approval rating because it's not necessary or beneficial and it's just rude and disrespectful. I think they're having a negative impact on him.

I agree. I think that the way he is speaking about his opponents, like Hillary, is decreasing his approval rate. The way he name calls and displays himself through these tweets are having a negative impact on his presidency because they make him sound like a bully.

Overall, we believe that Trump's use of twitter has a negative impact on the country as a whole. As President Trump's approval rating decreases, the more split and divided the country becomes. Through Twitter, Trump displays himself as a negative person through his use of name calling. He also puts other people down, such as his opponent Hillary Clinton, to promote himself, but in reality, he is losing respect. In the end, the divide between people who support Trump and the people who do not is negatively impacting the country and the way we view our President.

Article: It's Unconstitutional For Trump to Block People on Twitter

# data[].attributes.body
Because Trump likes to tweet so much, he gets a lot of responses online. Many of the responses probably aren't what he wants to hear, so the President has blocked people from seeing his account. This article talks about how it is unconstitutional for him to do that.

A free speech law center says President Trump and his staff are breaking the law when they block his critics on Twitter. The Knight First Amendment Institute has filed a lawsuit saying the president's Twitter feed is a public forum protected by the First Amendment.

The suit, filed Tuesday, accuses the White House of suppressing dissent by excluding Twitter users who criticize Trump or his policies. It cites recent statements by White House staff that deem tweets from the president's @realDonaldTrump account as official statements, as well as a recent Supreme Court opinion that called Twitter and Facebook "perhaps the most powerful mechanisms available to a private citizen to make his or her voice heard."

The lawsuit was filed by seven people who have been blocked from Trump's account, along with the Knight First Amendment Institute, which is affiliated with Columbia University. The group initially threatened to sue a month ago, when it sent the White House a letter demanding that it stop blocking people who respond critically to the president's messages.

In addition to preventing those citizens from reading and responding to the president's tweets, the group said, the practice violates others' rights to an open forum where they can hear critical debate. The Trump administration did not respond to that letter, the group said.

"The White House is transforming a public forum into an echo chamber," said Katie Fallow, a senior staff attorney at the Knight Institute.

Discussing Trump's Twitter feed last month, Jameel Jaffer, the institute's executive director, told NPR's David Folkenflik, "I don't even think it's arguable. It is the most important social media account operated by the U.S. government or a U.S. government official right now. And it is operated in order to get President Trump's opinions about government policy to Americans and to the world."

After the lawsuit was filed, Jaffer released a statement saying, "The First Amendment applies to this digital forum in the same way it applies to town halls and open school board meetings. The White House acts unlawfully when it excludes people from this forum simply because they've disagreed with the president."

Lawsuit Says It's Unconstitutional For President Trump To Block Critics On Twitter

This article explains that Trump's approval rating has decreased recently. This shows that more and more people are disapproving of Trump's actions and what he is doing for the country. This is definitely hurting his image and his overall popularity and it is likely that he is receiving less support.

More often than is probably healthy, I check out the FiveThirtyEight average of President Trump's approval ratings. For months, it barely budged - hovering right around 42 percent for almost the entire summer. Over the past week, however, it has shifted.

Thanks to several negative polls for Trump - from YouGov, Emerson College, Investor's Business Daily and the ABC/Washington Post collaboration - his approval rating has dropped. The FiveThirtyEight average is designed to be cautious, taking into account multiple polls, and it doesn't tend to move sharply. Still, the share of Americans giving him positive ratings has fallen noticeably if modestly, to 40.1 percent. It is Trump's worst mark since April.

By comparison, 54.1 percent of Americans disapprove of his performance. Those aren't the sort of ratings that help a president's political party win elections.

Now, whenever I come across data that's consistent with my rooting interests, I try to view it with an extra degree of skepticism. And there are multiple reasons to doubt the mini-trend in Trump approval.

One, it is indeed a mini-trend, lasting only a few days, and may turn out to be just a blip. Two, Trump's supporters - who tend to be older and white - have a history of voting at higher rates in midterm elections than Trump's critics do. Three, some Americans who disapprove of Trump may still vote for congressional candidates from his party. Four, Democrats need to win the popular vote in the midterm elections by to take control of the House.

Yet the drop in Trump's standing has been significant enough - showing up across several polls - to deserve some attention.

John Merline of Investor's Business Daily writes: "The drop in Trump's approval rating comes after a spate of bad news, including the conviction of his former campaign chairman on eight counts of fraud and a guilty plea on campaign finance charges by Trump's former lawyer, which sparked a torrent of impeachment talk. Trump also caught flak for his handling of Sen. John McCain's passing."

Jennifer Rubin of The Washington Post - in a piece headlined "Maybe Trump's incredible poll drop is real" - added another possible explanation: the trade disputes he has started. Those disputes, she argues, "are also causing pain in rural America."

Ahmed Baba of Rantt Media notes that Trump's strong approval among Republicans may be slipping ever so slightly. More than 30 percent of Republicans support Robert Mueller's investigation of Trump.

And Gary Langer of ABC News points out that Trump has "the lowest approval rating for a president heading into his first midterms in polling dating to 1954."

Is all of this a trend or a blip? I'll let you know if other meaningful evidence emerges over the next couple of weeks.

More on McCain. As a follow-up to my column yesterday on the congressional Republicans at McCain's memorial service, I recommend Dana Milbank's Washington Post column on Senator Lindsey Graham, McCain's close friend and political partner. Graham, Milbank writes, has "buried whatever remained of his own reputation for iconoclasm even before his partner's funeral."

In this video, Trump talks about a small incident Hillary Clinton was in, and because of that, if she was elected president she would be unable to run an entire country because she "cannot even make it 15 feet to her car."

When Trump name calls, he is displaying himself as a negative person which is something a politician (in this case, running for president) should not do. He comes off toxic and may change a lot of people's view on him.

By calling Hillary Clinton "crooked" and a "loser", I feel that this is hurting Trump and his popularity because this disrespect is causing others to also lose respect for him as well. It is expected that candidates, even though they are running against each other, are polite and considerate toward one another, and Trump does not show these characteristics at all.

Donald Trump has had a series of questions involving Hillary Clinton's email account in order to ensure that she is not lying and putting the rest of America in danger. The ways in which he has used this tweet to further claim why he continues to call Hillary out for them, shows the American people how he may be distracted from other duties besides the most important presidential duties and calling out the system that he also works under. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2018/05/22/trump-warned-of-great-danger-posed-by-clintons-emails-but-he-eschews-security-procedures-for-his-own-phone/?utm_term=.299700c2ae1c
