(Carolyn Kaster/AP)In an interview with Fox News this week, President Trump called himself a uniter. Sixty-five percent of adults say the U.S. will be “more politically divided in 2050 than it is today.”Polling shows a majority of Americans blame President Trump for contributing to the divisiveness. A 2017 Washington Post/ABC News poll found that many Americans — 66 percent — say Trump is the most divisive president in recent history. More than two-thirds of Republicans say they have “hardly any” confidence in the media, a figure that has jumped nearly 20 points since 2014. After all, even with strong economic numbers, a majority of Americans say the president is sowing discord, even as he says otherwise.
