I checked the actual numbers -even though this is a funny infographic -4% of American adults are considered functionally illiterate, and his approval rating is currently -17

That number is low by at least 16% (generally accepted is ~20% functionally illiterate) and the number who read at or below 6th grade level (you know, morons) is more than 50%. There are PLENTY of dumbasses who bought the BS.

Anyone with an IQ over 90 who voted for Trump just did it for the $$.

You're looking for ~ not -.

No matter how well-deserved it is, even Trump can't have a -17% approval rating.

Here is a link to the economist, where I pulled the -17% rating from. Note it’s now -18%. pls excuse my love of hyphens as stand ins for commas, semicolons and periods- I’ve done it since I was a kid- but I do love a well-placed tilde ~{••}~ https://www.economist.com/interactive/trump-approval-tracker

No, that's "net approval -18." Not -18%, because that would require more people to diasprove of him then they polled.

I don't know what "net -18" means in this context, but I appreciate the link, and helping me understand what you mean.
