As William Kristol points out, the public is resisting Trump. But elites are not.
A new Quinnipiac poll shows him witwh a 54% disapproval rating. 64% of voters say they would prefer giving most undocumented immigrants a pathway to legal status. 56% disapprove of the way ICE is doing its job, 55% disapprove of sending National Guard troops to Los Angeles, and 60% disapprove of sending in the Marines.

"Nearly half of registered voters—49%—said [in the Quinnipiac poll] they do not think democracy is working in the United States, while 43% say it is. Sixty percent of those who do not think it is working told Quinnipiac pollsters they blame Republicans, while 15% blamed Democrats. Twenty percent said they blame both parties."
