Focus Group on the Trump Presidency | Saint Anselm College, New Hampshire | THE CIRCUS | SHOWTIME
THE CIRCUS is on a roadshow this week, talking to voters and citizens in 5 states in 5 days to find out how different parts of America are reacting to Donald Trump’s presidency.
On Monday, after stops at Lucky’s Barbershop and Smokeshow BBQ in Concord, New Hampshire, co-host Mark Halperin stopped by Saint Anselm College in Manchester for an impromptu focus group with students and local residents who were attending an event at the college.
With the room split virtually evenly among those who are supporters of Donald Trump and those who are not, the conversation while opinionated and well-informed, lacked the hysteria and overstatement typically heard in Washington and on television. Many were still cautiously optimistic about the new President’s chances of bringing change to Washington, and although critical of Trump’s tweeting and concerned about Russia ties, the desire for a different kind of leader in the White House remains strong.

Trump is the dumbest president imaginable. I think everyone knew he would be a terrible president, but I don't think anything prepared us for a disaster of this magnitude. Trump: "I have discovered the wheel. It will be tremendous. Next I will invent fire. It will be the biggest eh… thing ever." Crowd cheers and goes home satisfied. If 3quarters of the Democratic party had half the guts that Avenatti has we would not be in the mess we are in now. If Avenatti runs, he gets my vote PERIOD. America is laughable to the world now with Pompeo's help are seen also as very weak. What was the point of sending Pompeo to Saudi. They could have done that over the phone. This moron in chief is turning this country into a joke. He is like a prostitute, sold to the highest bidder. The Idiot in Chief is a lair and a con man lining his pockets along with the corporate donors that fund Republiclans. They got a huge tax cut, you're going to see cuts to your medicare, medicaid and social security because SOMEONE has to pay for the tax cuts. Wake up America… Tick Tock. America is now run by the trump mob.. our only hope is to vote them out! Make them accountable! What the hell is happening to this country when people enable criminals to run the gov.. trump is a horrible business man.. bailed out of financial blunders from dictatorships.. that's why he loves the Saudi's and Putin.. they bailed him out multiple times.. it's no secret. We don't even need investigations to prove it .. make him show his tax returns! Hell it's even come out of his own mouth . We don't see the forest for the trees.. "I get along great with all of them; they buy apartments from me," Trump said. "They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much!". Everyone is the world has been in a fist-fight; how many crazy motherfuckers bring a GODDAMN BONE SAW to a fist-fight?. UNBELIEVABLE, the delusional, dangerous , unstable TRUMP continues his rallies encouraging violence .and no one is stopping him?And a journalist was killed in the most barbaric by another crazy Saudi prince? GOd have mercy on these deranged people.! So sick of him. We need a for real president & not a money hungry actor playing a president on television. Amen to that but all we are seeing is what the Saudis do to millions off their own people in Saudi Arabia but trump has told them what to say and trump has constantly told the world what he would like to do to journalist…Kill journalist…lock Journalist up so the brainless Saudis took trump by his word.

SAD. paper . paper this is nazy germany and the bigger gang in the world is the gustapo POS COPS // THAT IS THE SAME WORD USE BY THE NAZY JUST FOLLOWING ORDER . pinac is not a crime.
It's funny that supporters of the Trump presidetiancy, seems to support the ideals of a dicticatorship, and conservatives who wish to impose there will on others also happens to be of a dictatorship tendencies, so confused if they really are Americans who believe in there Constitution, and why they're so willing to ignore it!!!
The phrase I can’t stand is “I believe”. A belief is usually something one does not move off of, where as an idea is something more flexible and open to other ideas and interpretation. As someone once told me, “ Within every belief, there is a lie.”
Imbeciles
AMERICA IS NOT JUST WHITE, the end.

Wonder how many are still Trump supporters.
This poor redhead doesn't know a thing about our immigration policies. For years America was particular who they let come in and become a citizen, we usually had the best of the best, smart or they had a trade or they had a sponsor, no one just walked in. Does Red care about disease or crime does he see whats happening in Europe. Could people get to this age and be this dumb, I guess so.
#djtFAKEPRESIDENT
You can tell the red head is brainwashed.
i originally voted trump as he was a better candidate than,killary clinton,now that he's gained power he's not fufilling his promises of draining the swamp in DC? instead of getting rid of the elitist in the political system in washington and has brought in a bunch of croniesto run the goverment and seems only to favour the people at the top of the ladder and has no common ground for the millions of working class whom voting him in? he needs to stop pandering to the corporations whom have to much power in the nation and the israeli lobbyist whom are bent on the destruction of the middle east to suit their agenda and make young American soldiers pay the ultimate price while they arm and train ISIS JUST THE SAME WAY AS HILLARY CUNTON!!
Gotta love the old fart who calls himself "a harsh critic" then later chooses "intelligent" as the one word he'd use to describe Trump. Proof that some people not only don't know how to tie their own shoes, they don't even know if they're wearing anything on their feet.
I love you.. I am sorry, please for give me. Thank You.
You know people from Third World countries do think Americans are intelligent but the former election shows that 85% are dumb and idiots. A second grader can think positively than most of these focus group guys.
More 5th graders plz, they were much more informed than these folks
