The impaired mental state of Donald Trump has been a popular subject of conversation throughout the 2026 midterm election season. Particularly by Donald Trump himself, who frequently brings up how often he has been required to take cognitive tests that he thinks are IQ tests.

Trump’s stump speeches regularly include his boasting that he has “aced” the tests that are designed only to detect early indications of age-related cognitive decline. He brags about his ability to pick out an elephant from a group of cartoon animals, and then declares with preposterous pride that no one else – other politicians, journalists, or even his cult disciples in his audience – could perform as well on these tests.

The malignant narcissism that psychiatric professionals have unofficially diagnosed Trump with prohibits him from acknowledging any personality traits that are less than those of a superior human specimen. As a result, even documented evidence of his many severe flaws are suppressed by his psychosis. And that also extends to any and all criticism, including less than glowingly favorable polling.
Trump demonstrated this disorder when he was asked Saturday by conservative columnist Byron York about his record low approval ratings. York posted Trump’s deranged reply saying that…
“I asked the president about his job approval number. ‘It’s fake,’ he quickly said. ‘It’s fake.’ He pointed to the New York Times – ‘The job approval, they said it’s 37, 38?’ he asked incredulously. ‘I’m not at 38.’ I asked where he thought his approval rating actually stands. ‘I don’t believe I could be beaten by anybody,’ he said. ‘I think that if I needed it, which I don’t, I think 60.'”
True to form, whatever Trump doesn’t like he labels as fake. However, in this case. Trump is right. He is not at 38% in the New York Times poll. He is at 34%. Which is his lowest approval rating recorded in any Times/Siena poll. And other polls show even lower than that.
Not satisfied with merely refuting the polls, Trump offered his own opinion that his approval rating is at a ridiculously high 60%. And, of course, he produced no evidence of that. However, according to the Times poll, Trump is not only at a new low in approval, he is underwater on every major issue that the Times polled. (FYI: A Fox News poll had the same findings).
TRUMP IS TOAST! And so is his MAGA PartyVoters say that they trust Democrats to do a better job on EVERY major issue.

Does Trump really think that he has a 60% approval? Or is he just engaging in what he called “truthful hyperbole” in his ghostwritten book “The Art of the Deal”? He is a pathological liar and exaggerator. Recently he insisted that his “REAL” numbers are the best they’ve ever been. But whether he is lying or actually believes it, it is a distortion of reality that makes him a threat to the welfare of the nation. And he’s getting worse by the hour.
