I think his Tweets and temperament is either eventually taking him out of office or his temperament is endangering the whole Free World Order as well as the whole World Order in General which is dangerous for everyone on earth. So, having Trump as a president makes it more likely that human extinction could also occur this century through war even though simultaneously it might stop human extinction by all the deaths worldwide he will cause directly and indirectly worldwide just from his mean spiritedness of his executive orders unending and by distracting the world in all the lives they SHOULD be saving everywhere that won't be saved by unending smoke screens of talk wasting everyone's time.
The main reason he might prevent world human extinction is so many people would die and therefore not reproduce combined with Ecocide from no useful Ecological plan in regard to Global Warming killing so many millions through storms and droughts that he might prevent world genocides spreading out from the middle East worldwide. First these genocides would spread into Africa and then elsewhere through terrorists into other 3rd world places around the world. But, the end result of this might be that humans won't go extinct this century if by some miracle we aren't all killed suddenly in a nuclear war caused by Trump's temperament in reaction to some event or events worldwide.
So, whatever can be done to prevent genocidal chain reactions like we are now seeing in Syria, Iraq and Yemen from spreading worldwide into all or most 3rd world nations might be useful in preventing the extinction of the human race this century.

WASHINGTON — President Trump gets high marks for leadership amid growing economic optimism, a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll
finds, but questions about his temperament and his tweets have cost him
the political boost that a president traditionally gets from that good
news.
The survey, taken Wednesday through Sunday, shows Trump getting little bounce from his well-received address to Congress last week or from a brightening view of the country's direction. Instead, 47% approve of the job he's doing and 44% disapprove, a bit better than some other recent polls but a poor rating by historic standards. He is the first president in modern times not to score majority approval at this early point in his tenure.
By 2-1, those surveyed disapprove of Trump's temperament, a much more negative rating than he gets for his policy positions. Six in 10, including 40% of Republicans, complain that he tweets too much.
The findings reinforce the exasperation among Trump allies in Congress and elsewhere that the president's own actions are complicating and undermining his potential standing, and in the process weakening his political clout and ability to get things done.
"He's kept all those campaign promises," Georgiann Johnson, 41, a stay-at-home mom and Trump supporter from Springfield, Ill., said approvingly in a follow-up interview. Times are good for her and her family, now in the process of buying their first home. "I'm way more optimistic about the economy now than I was a year ago," she said.
But Linda Shaw, 63, a professor at the University of Arizona in Tucson who also was among those polled, expresses alarm about Trump's "level of focus, maturity, the ever-present degree or narcissism and lack of judgment." She says, "Far from clearing-the-swamp, the swamp is teeming and overflowing, and I have serious concerns about the future of the country if the course continues as it currently is."
Views of the president are not only polarized but also fiercely held, with a majority of Americans choosing one extreme or the other. Thirty percent not only disapprove of the job the president is doing but "strongly disapprove"; 23% not only approve but "strongly approve."
The poll of 1,000 registered voters has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Whatever their views of Trump, Americans feel better about the state of the nation. By 46%-43%, they say the country is headed in the right direction, not off on the wrong track. That's not exactly euphoria, but it does reflect a 12-point swing toward the bright side compared with the findings of a USA TODAY/Suffolk Poll taken in December.
In about 1,000 national public polls tracked by RealClearPolitics.com since 2009, just one other survey, released last month, has shown a net positive rating on the right direction/wrong track question.
What's more, 52% say the economy is in a recovery, a majority view rarely seen since the housing crisis and financial meltdown in 2008 spiraled into the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
On policy, Americans are split straight down the middle: 46% approve of Trump's policies; 46% disapprove.
On personality, though, there is a broad and negative consensus. By 60% to 30%, those polled disapprove of Trump's temperament, and 59% say he tweets too often.
"I think he's trying to do the best he can, but he better quit that tweeting," cautions Ray DeHart, 74, a retiree and one-time Democrat from Hillsville, Va., who counts himself as a strong supporter of the president. "It just gives the news media more fuel to fan the fires, as the old saying goes."
"It's so high school, or junior high school," scoffs Rosa Ledesma, 55, from California's San Fernando Valley.
Just 28% describe his tweets as a good way for him to communicate directly with Americans. One of them was Johnson. "First it was radio and then television and then YouTube," she shrugs. "He's just taking it one more step."
The controversies the president provokes and the battles he wages in 140-character bursts — against everyone from former president Barack Obama to U.S. intelligence agencies to Arnold Schwarzenegger — have defied political norms, distracted from policy initiatives and contributed to the public's questions about Trump's temperament.
"If Trump continues to tweet, he should tweet about the economy," says David Paleologos, director of the Political Research Center at Suffolk University. "He began with November tweets about how to save taxpayer money on federal purchases and announcing daily moves by companies to relocate plants in America. That served him well. But recently he has veered off tweeting about issues the public disagrees with him on, and that is an opportunity cost preventing him from higher poll points."

'It's so high school'
Good news on the economy typically boosts a president's popularity. But the feeling that good times are returning doesn't seem to be rebounding to the benefit of Trump, though 55% of Americans credit him with showing leadership during his first six weeks in office. Even one in five Democrats say he's shown leadership.On policy, Americans are split straight down the middle: 46% approve of Trump's policies; 46% disapprove.
On personality, though, there is a broad and negative consensus. By 60% to 30%, those polled disapprove of Trump's temperament, and 59% say he tweets too often.

Debate over DREAMers
The bottom line: Trump continues to hold the 46% of the electorate who voted for him on Election Day, but he has failed so far to expand in any meaningful way his support to those who didn't.An overwhelming 88% of Republicans approve of the job he's doing, most of them strongly. But 81% of Democrats oppose him, most of them strongly. Independents are split 44%-42%.
Some of the president's policy positions align with public opinion.
- On Social Security and Medicare, 72% agree with his promise to protect the programs from cuts. Just 22% say policymakers should take steps to control the entitlement programs for seniors from growing costs, the course that House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., long has advocated.
- On the Affordable Care Act, half of those surveyed say it should be repealed but only after a comprehensive plan is ready to take its place; another 17% say it should be repealed as soon as possible. One in four say Congress shouldn't repeal the health care initiative known as Obamacare.
- On his budget outline — adding $54 billion to defense and security spending while slashing it from domestic and other programs — Americans split almost evenly: 46% support his plan and 48% oppose it.
- On immigration, those surveyed by 49%-40% oppose his action to accelerate the deportation of illegal immigrants in the United States, even if they haven't committed a serious crime.
Meanwhile, Trump's attacks on reporters divide Americans: 42% say he is right when he says the news media are unfair and biased against him; 48% say the news media are right when they say they are appropriately holding the White House accountable.
Are the news media "the enemy of the American people" as the president has asserted? One-third of Americans, 34%, agree with him. Fifty-nine percent disagree.
Trump's combative manner is part of his appeal, says DeHart, his supporter from Virginia. "The first president I can ever remember is Harry Truman, and Harry didn't take no lip off nobody," he says. "Sometimes I think that Trump maybe carries it a little bit too far, but by the same token, people know what they can expect out of him."
