As strange as it seems, Trump’s highest approval ratings can be found in his handling of immigration. So, yes, there was a chance that these dramatically illegal and unconstitutional acts might be pleasing to some of the voting population. It’s the shit timeline we live in.
Trump’s highest approval ratings can be found in his handling of immigration
a) those approval ratings drop quickly when you start asking about anything more specific than “securing the border” like family separations and arresting people at hospitals and court hearings
b) the good approval ratings on the general topic have a lot to do with the fact that the Democratic party doesn’t have a coherent and comprehensive response to Republican lies about immigration because asshole morons like Matthew Yglesias are constantly making the argument that the Dipshit administration doing things like illegally sending an innocent man to a foreign gulag without a trial and then ignoring the court order to return him is actually popular and it would hurt Dems to talk about it (like he did in the speech at a recent DC conference this whole article is about)
