Donald Trump Approval Rating Falls to Historic Low Amidst FBI Investigation
It’s a good thing Donald Trump is fresh off yet another golf weekend at Mar-a-Lago, because this morning’s news is enough to give him a serious case of the Mondays.
According to the latest Gallup poll, the president’s approval rating is at a paltry 37 percent.
That’s a sharp drop from his 45 percent rating of just last week, and it’s also a record low.
Gallup has been polling the American public and publishing the results since the Truman administration, and no president in that time has seen such dismal figures so early in his administration.
The latest decline is likely a result of Trump’s 2018 budget proposal, which seeks to make extreme cuts to a number of vital government agencies, some of which the president promised to protect during his campaign.
But this is Donnie Baby Hands we’re talking about, so the news that he’s taking away your healthcare and taking food out of your freeloading great-grandmother’s mouth is far from being the only scandal of the week.
In addition to a budget so absurd that even his fellow Republicans were heard to remark “bruh,” Trump has once again attracted the attention of the FBI.
In fact, the bureau is interested in Trump for two reasons, both of which are pile further embarrassment on top of what’s already a triple-decker sh-t sandwich of an administration.
For starters, FBI Director James Comey confirmed today that his agency is investigating Trump’s claim that Barack Obama illegally wiretapped Trump Tower during the 2016 election.
This never happened, and for proof we need look no further than the fact that when Trump was asked to supply expand upon the basis for this claim, he basically said, “Hey, look over there!” and ran away.
But that’s just the beginning of Trump’s troubles with the nation’s top domestic intelligence agency, as the FBI has also confirmed that it’s investigating the Trump administrations ties to Russia.
Yes, Russia.
The Big Bad Villain country of your childhood that our president now falls all over himself to defend despite evidence that its hackers manipulated our presidential election.
SEVEN members of Trump’s staff have admitted to contact with Russia during the president’s campaign, and if it’s revealed that they colluded with Vladimir Putin to influence the vote, it would be a scandal the likes of which this nation has never seen.
So, yeah…
Trump might want to take a page from the book of another lumpy orange curmudgeon, Garfield (the cat, not the president), and just spend this Monday in bed.

The Bachelor Season Finale Promo: It"s a Historic "First"!
Nick Viall"s epic journey for love comes to an end on The Bachelor"s live three-hour season finale Monday, and we"ve been promised a "first."
We know. You don"t need The Bachelor spoilers to tell you that a "historic" event is promised every season. Or many times per season.
But in this case, there is at least one major surprise in store that, according to a new sneak peek, will stand out from everything prior.
The ABC dating series" promo below shows Nick Viall dealing with anxiety as he prepares to hand out his final rose and pop the question.
Who will he pick, Vanessa Grimaldi or Raven Gates?!
Viall, as we all know all too well by now, came in second to Josh Murray on Andi Dorfman"s season of The Bachelorette back in 2014.
Then Nick repeated that experience, finishing as the runner-up to Shawn Booth for Kaitlyn Bristowe"s final rose exactly a year later.
"I"ve been here before," Viall said, stating the obvious.
"Both Andi and Kaitlyn broke my heart. My biggest fear is that will happen again. I"m just, like, torn up inside," The Bachelor continues.
"The worst feeling I"ve ever felt before."
"What if she says no?" Nick laments.
As for the big twist and how it impacts The Bachelor winner, franchise creator Mike Fleiss has been hinting on Twitter about the shocker.
"Monday"s live season finale is going to be historic!!! Believe me…" he wrote on Wednesday, March 8, hyping up the season-ender.
"It"s going to be pretty awesome."
That kind of tease implies that just make, something goes awry with Nick"s Bachelor season finale proposal, or perhaps its aftermath.
Viall, 36, is clearly in an emotional state and at a loss for what to do in previous footage we"ve seen from the final episode in Finland.
We"ve already seen a Bachelor star change his mind on After the Final Rose and switch for the runner-up instead, so it can"t be that.
Perhaps Nick not only gets engaged, but married to Raven (or Vanessa) with Chris Harrison officiating an impromptu ceremony on the spot?
Now that would be a ratings boon.
Check out The Bachelor season finale promo below and share you predictions as to what lies in store four nights from tonight …

Viola Davis Admits To Ellen DeGeneres That She Freaked Out Her Husband With Her Historic Emmys Speech — Watch HERE!
Say what?
At the Emmys on Sunday, Viola Davis became the first black woman to win the Emmy for Best Lead Actress in a drama and as a result, she gave an AH-Mazing speech about equality for black women in Hollywood.
Well when she stopped to talk to Ellen DeGeneres today on her talk show (below), she revealed a bit more about her night!
Video: Ellen & Portia De Rossi Play The Not So Newlywed Game Against Melissa McCarthy & Ben Falcone!
Not only did she tell Ellen that she drank a bit before the show, but she revealed that her husband was actually shocked by her speech and that he had no idea that she was going to say any of that!
Viola also told the host that she was clueless that she received a standing ovation — because she was distracted by a certain fast food that was just off stage!
Watch the video (below) to hear the Emmy award winner’s full story of her historic night!
