1. A presidential honeymoon doesn't mean they aren't working.

The phrase represents the length of time after a president is elected in which he is still relatively popular. Once your approval drops below your disapproval, the honeymoon is considered over.

Trump's approval mostly hovered around the low 50s for the first couple months of his current term, that's the honeymoon period. But now it's dropped into the low 40s, so it's over. People who voted for him and may have approved right after the inauguration are starting to sour on him.
