Amid President Trump's free-falling approval ratings, Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) former presidential campaign spokesman Rick Tyler recommended that Trump be put on "suicide watch." "[I]f I were a political consultant looking at a candidate who had these kind of numbers, I'd have him on 24-hour suicide watch. These numbers are not good," Tyler said during a Tuesday appearance on Morning Joe.
A new poll by CNN revealed that Trump's approval rating has slid six points since his 100-day mark, down to a dismal 38 percent. A whopping 56 percent of Americans now disapprove of him.
