His immigration policies, environment-destroying, military spending, social service budget cutting, ACA-closing, anti-choice, anti-press bullshit... could pretty much go on forever. There may be, I'll grant... maybe 3 things I don't mind his position. I don't know what those are yet.
Trump just met with a bunch of labor union guys. Do you think that's something Bush would do? Even Clinton? Trump has very close ties to working class people. His immigration policy is simply to enforce the law as it exists, although he's waffled on repealing the dreamer regs. ACA is not something the working class likes. They have been screwed over by it. It's favored by people who get subsidies or people who had pre-existing conditions. For the most part, people don't like it. Hell, one of the big selling points of ACA was that it was a Republican idea that came out of the Heritage Foundation. That didn't sell to the Republican base or to Democrats who crossed over and voted for Trump.

Keep doing it then. It's one of the rare times we get a demonstration of appreciable intelligence from you.
Anyway, Trump's detractors still don't seem to get support for Trump isn't about "honesty" or whatever "trustworthy" polls they have. So the New York Times is using language that Trump will likely hit back at. This is an example of ridiculous media bias where the NYT kills its own credibility by trying to bash Trump's.
Trump Repeats Lie About Popular Vote in Meeting With LawmakersWASHINGTON — President Trump used his first official meeting with congressional leaders on Monday to falsely claim that millions of unauthorized immigrants had robbed him of a popular vote majority, a return to his obsession with the election’s results even as he seeks support for his legislative agenda.
The claim, which he has made before on Twitter, has been judged untrue by numerous fact-checkers.
The State of California provides driver's licenses to illegal immigrants and signs them up to vote too.
Mr. Cornyn said he thought such sessions would be more frequent while Mr. Trump is in office than they were during Mr. Obama’s tenure. Mr. Obama famously disliked socializing with members of Congress.
Referring to Democrats, Mr. Cornyn said, “They said they’d never been over to the White House for anything like this before.”
Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the Democratic leader, said it was an “interesting” meeting. Along with health care and infrastructure, she said they discussed China and currency manipulation, as well as issues involving intellectual property rights, which she said were a point of agreement.
“We talked about the Affordable Care Act and said what the Affordable Care Act has been successful in doing is improving quality, expanding access and lowering costs,” she told reporters. “And any proposal that they might have that does that, we’d be interested in hearing about.”

The reception included, among others, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin and Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, as well as Ms. Pelosi and Senator Chuck Schumer of New York.

So what's their headline? "Trump is a liar." And they wonder why they're losing money... There is actually some interesting analysis between the different styles of Trump and Obama. Obama didn't make any friends. Reagan used to have lunch with Tip O'Neil. They liked each other. Washington hasn't been like that in a long time.
