That sentence is so extreme and definitive that it's most likely provably false.

Separately, opinion polls show that plenty of people support the current US president, so, regardless if their lives have been "improved" (whatever that means), those people will be upset if the president leaves.

I mean, has he really improved people's lives outside of the really rich or the bigoted (which makes you technically right)? I'd like to see evidence because I'm not aware of him actually improving things for anybody else. the only policy I think that he's passed that makes sense is to force hospitals to make costs available up front and public.
