Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Donald Trump's proposed cabinet appointees, introduced in the last two weeks, are qualified to do nothing but be in Trump's company, and for Trump that is enough.
43% : One recent study found that 18 million American adults wanted to restore Trump to the presidency with physical force: half of those people owned guns; a quarter of them either belonged to a militia or knew a militiaman.
34% : Trump has mainstreamed misogyny.
33% : Had Trump had that ruling and this cabinet in his first term, he might have indeed "gone huntin.'" Recall his reported inquiry to his secretary of defence about a group of protesters in his first term: "Can't we just shoot them?"The physical violence reinforces the epistemic violence reinforces the physical violence.
31% : Trump's cabinet may or may not back a violent military strike against Mexico -- which Trump has threatened and his proposed secretary of state has said he could support.
26% : That having already incited one violent insurrection to try to hold power, he now proposes an unconstitutional third term?Trump's first pick for attorney general may have failed, but the mission Trump gave him -- to "burn the Department of Justice down from the inside" -- is still alive.
24% : Trump may not follow through on his threats, be they explicit, implicit, garbled or otherwise: to line up opponents before a nine-rifle-firing-squad; to enable assassins to "shoot" journalists; to have supporters "knock the crap out of" hecklers; to "bring back a helluva lot worse than waterboarding"; to make publishers of whistleblower accounts understand that they're "going to be the bride of another prisoner".
15% : Trump lies about almost everything, almost all of the time.
8% : One Republican governor both boasted of killing a dog and lied about meeting the dictator of North Korea; in nominating her for Homeland Security secretary, Trump meant to reward both the liar and the killer at once.
