Donald Trump has lowest approval ratings of any President in US history

Just 44 per cent of respondents gave Mr Trump their approval, making him the only President since polls began to hold a negative approval rating at such an early stage in his White House tenure.

However, there is little surprise expressed among Americans to the way in which Mr Trump has begun his presidency, with 78 per cent saying he is handling things exactly as they would have expected.

Take a look at things a year from now, and you'll have a better idea of where all this is heading. Who knows, approval may get better for President Trump (pigs might fly too but I doubt it!)

It turns out you don't need high post-election approval ratings to get elected president.

It turns out that polls are meaningless, and often false.

He ran against Hillary.

No, just by those who voted for him and I think that number will eventually rise.

It all depends on how many people become too scared to speak out against the new Fascist state.

It wasn't "how many people voted for him", it was "how many people were prevented from voting against him".

Unfortunately for the rest of us on this planet I think you are on point with the comparison to Thatcher and the mechanism she chose, a war with a nation Britain could convincingly beat provides a how to scenario for Trump's Presidency to be great.
