Since announcing his presidential campaign on June 16, 2015, Donald Trump has faced large opposition from liberals and RINO Republicans alike. According to one study, 91% of the media coverage concerning Trump was negative and 96% of campaign contributions from the media went to Clinton.[1]

Due to his promotion and support of conservative, America First[2] policies, President Trump faced large opposition from the left and the establishment,[3] including from within the government bureaucracy.[4][5] (The fact that members of the Deep State have grown visibly scared of reports stating such confirms this view.[6]) As a testament to the deep opposition and hatred towards him by the left-wing, at least 217 violent protestors were arrested in Washington D.C. on Inauguration Day.[7][8] Additionally, Senate Democrats unduly delayed Trump's cabinet nominees at historic and unprecedented proportions—by February 8, 2017, only George Washington had fewer cabinet nominees confirmed by this length of time into his presidency.[9] Trump's last cabinet secretary was confirmed on April 27, 2017.[10] As in the 2016 presidential election, the mainstream media strongly opposed Trump and wrote him off as a failure early in his presidency, despite his numerous accomplishments by that time.[11] As evidence of this intense MSM opposition, a study published close to the 100th-day mark of Trump's presidency showed that 89% of media coverage regarding Trump was negative.[12]

In addition to strong opposition from the mainstream media,[12] which consistently misrepresented him and his accomplishments,[13] Trump received opposition from Democrats and the liberal-influenced courts. By the first 100 days of his presidency, congressional Democrats had already (unsuccessfully) filibustered Trump's supreme court nomination, instituted one of the longest and most extreme delays in cabinet confirmations in U.S. history, and initiated an investigation into Trump's alleged ties to Russia.[14] According to a poll taken around the 100th day of Trump's presidency, only 11% of Democrats believed that their party's opposition to Trump has yielded successful results for them.[15] Liberal federal courts also blocked some of President Trump's executive orders regarding sanctuary cities and immigration.[16][17]
