Donald Trump has described as "very good", new polls that show his approval ratings are at a historical low, as he nears his 100th day as president.
Trump's approval fell to 40 per cent in an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released on Sunday - as his disapproval rating rose to 54 per cent, according to news.com.au.
Back in February, the same poll had Trump's approval rating at 44 per cent.
New polls out today are very good considering that much of the media is FAKE and almost always negative. Would still beat Hillary in .....
The poll also shows that Trump is losing support from voters as an "agent for change" with only 25 per cent of respondents thinking he has been "very good" at changing the culture in Washington DC.
Another poll released on Saturday, from ABC News and the Washington Post, found that Trump only has a 42 per cent approval rating - the lowest of any president polled since 1945.
Trump will reach the 100-day mark of his presidency on April 29.
However in a series of tweets President Trump welcomed the results.
Bill Clinton fired a shot at Trump, when he referenced the President's claims he was bugged by his predecessor Barack Obama.
On Sunday morning, Trump tweeted about France's presidential election, as well as Obamacare, the promised border wall with Mexico and other issues.
Trump is a fan of France's anti-immigrant presidential contender Marine Le Pen. In an interview with the AP, he said: "She's the strongest on borders, and she's the strongest on what's been going on in France".
Very interesting election currently taking place in France.
Trump will hold a massive rally in Pennsylvania on the same night as the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner next Saturday night.
"Next Saturday night I will be holding a BIG rally in Pennsylvania. Look forward to it!" Trump tweeted.
The event will be at a 7318-seat arena inside Harrisburg's Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Centre.
Trump announced in February that he would break with tradition by eschewing the annual black-tie gathering.
Trump sons take helm of company, eye expansion
Apprentices no more, Eric and Donald Trump Jr. are now at the helm of the Trump Organisation and adjusting to the reality presented by their father's presidency.
They're eyeing ways to use the new lease on the family fame by expanding the brand into parts of the US that embrace him. Some business has slowed as a result of the pledge to stall international deal making while Trump is president.

But a US push is planned, and two new hotel chains are being considered - a four-star brand and a less luxurious line - possibly in states where Trump triumphed over Democrat Hillary Clinton last November.
"I think it makes it naturally easier if you're going into a place that's not adversarial to you," Donald Trump Jr. said in a recent interview.
The Trump Organisation is a private, family-run business that owns billions of dollars' worth of hotels, office buildings, golf courses and management and licensing agreements. Although foreign deals are on hold, the company will complete existing projects, including ones in India, the United Arab Emirates and the Dominican Republic.
Sessions: "Nobody has a sense of humour"
Attorney General Jeff Sessions says "nobody has a sense of humour anymore."
That's his assessment after drawing ire for seeming to dismiss the state of Hawaii as merely "an island in the Pacific."
Last week, Sessions criticised a federal judge's ruling in Hawaii that blocked the Trump administration's immigration ban.

Sessions told radio host Mark Levin: "I really am amazed that a judge sitting on an island in the Pacific can issue an order that stops the president of the US from what appears to be clearly his statutory and constitutional power."
On Sunday, Sessions chuckled when asked on ABC why he didn't just refer to Hawaii by its name. His response: "Nobody has a sense of humour anymore." He says the administration will appeal the ruling.
