'Dude, stop it!' Data analyst laughs at Trump's focus on 'greatly unpopular' priority

President Donald Trump has prioritized making sweeping changes to Washington, D.C., but a data analyst found those plans are strikingly unpopular.The president raged at length over the weekend at a federal judge who ordered his name removed from the Kennedy Center, and his other planned projects – from the White House ballroom to painting the Reflecting Pool blue – have faced legal challenges of their own, but CNN's Harry Enten found little public support for those efforts."I'm just going to quote Michael Jordan here: 'Stop it, just stop it,'" Enten said. "The American people are saying to the president of the United States, you could see right here, kids laughing off there on the side. I mean, just look at this, naming government buildings after Trump, acceptable right now as he is president of the United States of America. Just 9 percent, just 9 percent. Literally, you can put it on your two hands. When you can put something on your two hands, you know, it's a very small section of the public. My little footnote on here includes just 17 percent of Republicans, 50 percent say not acceptable at all – the clear plurality here, and then you get this additional 21 percent who say, you know, it's okay to put President Trump's name on government buildings, but only after he leaves office.""But the bottom line is this, greatly unpopular, President Trump or the government putting his name on government buildings," he added. "I think the American people are standing up and applauding the fact that Trump is leaving this aside, because the American people, simply put, are not with it."Single-digit support is obviously low, Enten said, but he tried to number into context with other topics."Americans who believe it's okay right now to name government buildings for Trump, just 9 percent," he said. "To put that into some perspective, 10 percent of Americans believe that the earth is flat, and 12 percent of Americans think that the moon landing was faked, which of course it was not, and of course, the earth is actually round. So fewer Americans think it's acceptable right now to put President Trump's name on government buildings than believe two conspiracy theories, either the earth is flat or the moon landing was fake, and when you're lower than that, you know that you're doing something quite, quite unpopular."Voters backed Trump for a second term because he promised to tackle inflation, but consumer costs remain high and he has seemingly focused his attention on unrelated topics."President Trump got elected to a second term to deal with inflation," Enten said. "Of course, right now, what we're talking about is President Trump getting record low ratings on inflation, not just for himself, but for any president, and it just goes back to this. Trump on issues facing most Americans focused enough, just 29 percent, just one in three Americans say that President Trump is focused enough on the issues facing most Americans. The clear majority, the supermajority, more than two and three, 68 percent, say, no, he's not focused enough, and that is why his approval rating has been falling in the 30s in multiple polls, because he's focused on the wrong issues.""He's focused on putting his name on the government buildings," Enten added. "They're talking about, what was that, that $250 commemorative bill that we're talking about right there. Dude, again, just to quote Michael Jordan, stop it, stop it. Focus on inflation, focus on the economy, and then maybe your approval ratings will actually get above 40 percent." - YouTube youtu.be
