Having a leader who is ignorant and negligent and obsessed with power and greed is bad enough.
But with Donald Trump the United States is also cursed with a White House occupier who lies pathologically and is oblivious to reality.

The moral depravity and mental impairments of Trump put America at risk. He is incapable of any behavior that recognizes the needs of others. To the contrary, his perception of himself is as an infallible figure of perfection that borders on the messianic. He has literally said so…

Among the symptoms of Trump’s illness is his invention of events that clearly have never happened. They include his insistence that he is winning his reckless and illegal war against Iran; his repetition that he has produced an economic “golden age”; and his hallucinations of Marxists around every corner, including those who are vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflection Pool.

This weekend Trump was busying himself with the critical presidential duty of rage-posting on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. Among the dishonest proclamations and loony self-exalting memes, Trump dropped a comment that was an especially disturbing example of his cognitive collapse. He ranted in part that…

“My REAL Polling Numbers, not those made up by the Fake News Media, are the best they have ever been. […] Don’t believe the Radical Left’s Fake Poll numbers. They are Crooked and Corrupt, just like the Country Destroying Dumocrats are Crooked and Corrupt.”

Trump didn’t bother to provide a link to any of the “REAL Polling Numbers” that are allegedly “the best they have ever been.” But in his defense, that’s only because they don’t exist. A quick glance at the RealClear Politics listing of recent polls reveals the reality that Trump is so far removed from.

It’s notable that every single one of those polls found that a substantial majority of Americans (up to 66%) disapprove of Trump. The average of the polls have Trump more than 19 points underwater. And that’s even with the inclusion of several polls produced by blatantly right-wing operations. Apparently Trump is lumping Fox News, Rasmussen, etc., in with all of the “Radical Left, Crooked and Corrupt, Country Destroying, Fake News, Dumocrats.”

Trump demands that these polls are not to be believed. But he doesn’t offer up any others that he vouches for as believable. Although he does provide some pretty good reasons for his high disapproval in the list of things that that he claims to have accomplished. He cites as his “successes” his work on taxes, jobs, immigration, Iran, and “respect throughout the world.” None of which has been remotely successful. And the American people know that. In fact, Trump is polling negatively on every one of those individual issues.

This isn’t the first time that Trump has claimed to have his highest polling ever. Last month he said the same thing, boasting about having 65% approval. Once again, he didn’t link to any such poll. The poll that he did link to had him at 50%, and even that was by a notoriously biased conservative pollster.

You have to wonder who these comments are aimed at. Does anyone outside of his MAGA cult believe them? Although there is an interpretation of Trump’s comment that is actually accurate. He says that his polling numbers “are the best they have ever been.” So if by “best” he means highest, and by “numbers” he means disapproval, he’s right. These are currently the highest disapproval numbers he’s ever had. But get too attached. It’s very likely that new highs will be released next week.
