I take it you've made the assumption that my 40% figure was somehow related to Trump's approval rating, or something along those lines.

First, I am sorry that you're offended by a statistical figure.

Second, the figure was from research that was done in my grandparents' era, about three quarters of a century ago. About 40% of Americans displayed authoritarian personality traits.

Any assumptions you've made are merely coincidental. Have a nice day.
