Trump Praised a Clip From CNN (Fake News?) That He Played at His Rally – Here’s What He Left Out

Posted by on October 10, 2026 at 4:56 pm. 0 Comments :

For several months the polls for the upcoming midterm election have been showing signs of a massive Blue Tsunami that is predicted to flush out the Republican majorities in Congress. And as election day draws closer, the polls have only gotten worse for Donald Trump and his MAGA Party.

Donald Trump, CNN

As Trump and the GOP candidates he has endorsed flounder, Trump manages to retain his confidence that the only problem with the election is that the public hasn’t seen enough of Trump. Consequently, he has pledged to abandon his presidential duties and devote himself to rescuing his party. Although many of them are asking him not to bother. So he has narrowed his itinerary to mostly solid red states.

SEE THIS: GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

On Friday Trump took his red eye rally express to Syracuse, New York. And while there he thought it would be a good idea to play a deceitfully edited video of something he saw on CNN. Not only was this video from a network that he despises, but it was on a subject that he insists is totally corrupt: Polling. Nevertheless, Trump introduced the clip saying that…

“I saw a chart, because CNN is very unfriendly territory, they’re fake news, but this time I believe them 100%. Because they did a chart, and I respect them for putting it up, but they did a couple of very important charts.”

Whereupon Trump played the video of CNN’s data analyst, Harry Enten, saying that…

“MAGA GOP on Trump in the 2024 election versus Kamala Harris he got 99% of the MAGA GOP vote. But surprisingly. I might have thought it would be 100%. But it was 99%. Compare that to his approval rating now with the MAGA GOP. It’s 98%. That is, there has been no real decline in MAGA support.”

Enten concluded that Trump’s support among the MAGA GOP is “really holding up strong.” And why not? IT’S A CULT! However, what Trump didn’t play for his cult rally devotees was the remainder of the CNN segment where Enten revealed that only 50-60% of Republicans identify as MAGA. Which means that, since only 28% of U.S. adults identify directly as Republicans, MAGA is only about 14-17% of the electorate.

Enten went on to note what he called a “troubling sign for Republicans,” that Trump’s approval among all Republicans declined by 14 points (from 94% to 80%) since 2024. And those Republicans who strongly approved of Trump declined by 24 points (from 71% to 47%, less than half) since the beginning of 2025.

It is so monumentally hypocritical and dishonest for Trump to brag about CNN’s reporting, when he only shows a small piece of it. The rest of the segment showed how dismal Trump’s standing is with the Republican Party and the American people. He left all of that out. And he calls CNN fake news?

It’s kind of funny that Trump is embracing something that he saw on CNN, a network that he relentlessly accuses of being treasonous Even worse, it’s one of the networks that he has actually banned from covering him. But now, because he – or more likely someone on his staff (Natalie Harp?) – was able to cherry-pick a few seconds that he thinks makes him look good, he “believes them 100%.”

Trump can do this because he knows that none of his gullible cult disciples will ever see the parts of the video that he cut out. They don’t watch CNN. Furthermore, he knows that his MAGA-tists are going to fawn over whatever he says. And it’s because of them that he thinks he is universally beloved, even though they are a tiny minority. So he runs around the country thinking that his presence will produce a nationwide Republican victory.

Trump may be sorely disappointed when the actual election results come in. And when they do, he will become the lamest of ducks. Although he will still just say the election was rigged. Because he thinks he’s infallible and more popular than Jesus.

Fox News is SHOCKED By James Talarico’s 7 Point Lead Over Ken Paxton for the Senate in Texas

Posted by on October 2, 2026 at 3:00 pm. 1 Comments :

The desperation of frantic Republicans is growing by the day as the American people prepare to vote in the midterm elections. Donald Trump and his MAGA comrades are bracing for disaster, while shoveling political manure in the fleeting hopes of avoiding the blowout that they privately know is inevitable.

Fox News Sad

Early voting has already begun in some states. And with most polls predicting a massive blue wave washing out GOP candidates once thought to be shoe-ins, panic is setting in for Trump and his MAGA comrades nationwide. Their response is to invent preposterous attacks on Democrats, who they vainly try to portray as communists, and to send Trump out to shore up votes, despite his record low standing with the general public.

SEE THIS: GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

Naturally, Trump’s official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is doing their part to rig the election. On Trump’s favorite morning show, Fox and Friends, co-host Ainsley Earhardt (also Sean Hannity’s fiancé) interviewed fellow Fox Newser, and MAGA sports geek, Clay Travis, to get his predictably biased opinion on the unfolding race for the Senate in Texas between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton. It went something like this…

Earhardt: If you look at that Fox News poll, he [Talarico] is ahead by seven points – IN THE STATE OF TEXAS! How is that possible?
Travis: Texans have to wake up. I think sometimes, when you have seen Republicans win for generations, a lot of people out there just don’t think at all that Democrats are capable of winning in the state.

Earhardt’s confusion about how a Democrat can win in Texas could be resolved by informing her that Trump has a negative approval rating in virtually every state, and his disapproval in Texas is at 57%. And yet, according to Travis, the problem is only that “Texans have to wake up.” So now the MAGA-tists are in favor of being “woke”?

Furthermore, Democrats frequently win in Texas, including Talarico, who is currently a sitting member of the Texas House of Representatives. Also, Texas has sent 13 Democrats to Washington, D.C. to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. So maybe these Fox News flunkies shouldn’t be so surprised. Nor should they bother to offer incoherent excuses like this one from Travis…

“Now, I watch a lot of football. I watch a lot of sports. Every single game that I am watching I am seeing Republican ads dominating. I think that Republicans have held their proverbial cash until the last moment and they are now delivering overwhelming amounts of dollars into the playing field.”

Well, that settles it. Republicans will surely prevail in November after dumping a lot of money into sports program ads in the last few weeks of the election. Because the American people will forget about their economic struggles and vote the party the caused them, and that started an illegal war, and that imposed inflationary tariffs, etc., after seeing a bunch of 30 second ads that interrupt their sporting events viewing.

Travis is praising Republicans for having hoarded their “proverbial cash” (whatever the hell that is) until after Democrats have already defined themselves and their opponents. And now he says they will unleash a barrage of commercials that will reverse the Democrats’ momentum on the playing field. Because after all, Fox News believes that Talarico’s seven point lead still marks this as a “tight” race…

What a brilliant strategy. And it just might work if Democrats decide to stay home and not vote. So this is not the time to become overconfident. It is time to renew your commitment to preserving democracy and fighting for working class families. Stay woke. And make sure that everyone you know casts their ballot, early if possible. Volunteer if you can. We can make Trump the lamest of ducks, and his SICKO-phants at Fox News even more perplexed and depressed.

Fox News Poll Says ‘Democrats Are Considered the Party that Would Better Handle…’ EVERYTHING!

Posted by on September 17, 2026 at 1:36 pm. 0 Comments :

The 2026 midterm election is looking like it will be a historic catastrophe for Donald Trump with Democrats winning majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Of course, as baseball legend Yogi Berra said “it aint over till it’s over.” So voters need to actually cast their votes in numbers too big to rig before they declare victory.

Donald Trump, Biggest Loser

The latest evidence that Republicans are in full collapse is a new poll by Fox News. That’s right…Fox News – Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda – has just released a poll that affirms all of the previous polling that designates Trump as this year’s biggest loser. Not that he is cognitively capable of acknowledging it…

SEE THIS: Delusional Trump: ‘My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been’ – OK Grandpa

Because the poll was so negative for the MAGA media network, it was only briefly discussed on the air. And they left out most of the really juicy stuff. But Fox News hack John Roberts manages to find a dishonest slant with which to introduce the segment, saying that “I guess voters are hankering for the old days of 9% inflation.” [NOTE: President Biden reduced inflation to 2.9% by the end of his term, and Trump has driven it back up to 3.4%].

Fox News details new Fox News polling that is BRUTAL for Trump — there's been a 15 point swing on inflation toward Democrats over the last four years (note how salty John Roberts is about this)

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-09-17T18:05:18.720Z

The details of the Fox News poll are almost entirely bad news for Trump and his MAGA movement. What follows are some of the lowlights that are driving Trump and his comrades crazy(er), and leading them to engage in desperation tactics such as accusing all Democrats of being communists.

FROM THE FOX NEWS POLL…

“Overall, nearly two-thirds of voters (63%) say the Trump administration has made the economy worse, including a quarter of Republicans.”

“By a wide margin, the Democrats are considered the party that would better handle inflation at a time when the cost of living and the economy are voters’ top concerns…Costs of everyday items are a hardship for voters.”
[NOTE: On every issue polled – gas, groceries, healthcare, housing, tariffs, Iran – a majority say they are dissatisfied with Trump.]

“Only 8% are enthusiastic about how the government is working, with another 23% satisfied. A 68% majority is unhappy, including a high of 33% who are ‘angry.'”

“Independents favor the Democratic candidate 53-31%.”

“Those with a negative view of both the Democratic and the Republican Party (‘double haters’) favor the Democratic candidate in their district by a 26-point margin.”

“A Trump endorsement made [voters] less likely to support a candidate by a 15-point margin…(25% more likely, 51% less likely).”

“53% say the Trump administration is more corrupt than previous administrations.”

“Nearly two-thirds support raising taxes on the wealthy.”

“Fifty-seven percent say the way capitalism works in the U.S. these days doesn’t give people a fair shot, up from 42% in 2019. That shift spans political views, increasing among Democrats (by 17 points), Republicans (+13), and independents (+22).”

Numbers like these just 47 days before a critical election are devastating for the already demoralized Republicans. And it doesn’t help that Trump is demanding that GOP candidates feature him in their campaigns. At a recent rally Trump insisted that voters “pretend that [Trump] is on the ballot.” And given how universally he is despised, that’s an idea that Democrats are also advocating.

See? Trump has found common ground with Democrats. However, Trump’s own party is not on board. Many of them are dodging him and asking him to stay away. His recent Trump-a-Palooza rally in Dallas was a pitiful failure. In fact, if Trump insists on staying in the spotlight for the next six weeks, it might be Republicans pushing to impeach him.

Trump’s FCC Boss (Fascist Communications Czar) Tells Fox News He is ‘Looking Into’ Fake Polls

Posted by on September 6, 2026 at 2:51 pm. 1 Comments :

In the decade that Donald Trump has been in politics, he has distinguished himself as the most media averse president of all time. He has taken unprecedented actions to censor the free press, insulted journalists for doing their jobs, and whined incessantly about his paranoid perception of being a victim of what he routinely calls the “fake news.”

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump and Media - ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX

Recently Trump was ticked off by a segment on Meet the Press during which the host, Kristen Welker, accurately pointed out that Trump’s record of endorsements was a “mixed bag” due to many of his preferred candidates losing their primary races. In response to Welker’s reporting Trump proposed a vengeful penalty that he has no legal authority to dispense.

SEE THIS: Wannabe Fascist Dictator Trump is Reporting Meet the Press Host to His FCC – For ‘Punishment’?

Trump’s proposal was typical of his hyperactive overreach that demonstrates his ignorance of, and disrespect for, the Constitution and its First Amendment protection for the free press. Neither he nor his FCC have any jurisdiction to punish journalists, particularly when they are right.

On Sunday morning Trump and his nursemaid, Natalie Harp, were busy with what he regards as his primary presidential duties of posting goofy memes on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. They included AI slopix of himself horseback riding with George Washington, Robert De Niro with a Trump t-shirt, renaming New Mexico to New America, Joe Biden in a Trump hat, Trump as Hulk Hogan, and 31 more deranged fantasies. I sure hope hope it doesn’t cut into his golf game.

Meanwhile, Trump’s FCC boss, Brendan Carr, was on Fox News doing what he does best: disseminating Trumpist propaganda. Carr was interviewed by Fox’s Peter Doocy who asked whether Trump had actually reported Welker to him for her punishment. Carr began his reply with a tediously long word salad that had nothing to do with the question. But he eventually weaved his way back to provide an answer that came a little closer to being responsive.

“There is a lot of interest right now in fake polls that are out there. So the FCC may put guidance out soon to remind broadcasters about their obligations with respect to not airing fake polls. Particularly if they’re done to suppress people heading into the fall.”

FCC Chair Brendan Carr on Trump calling for Kristen Welker to receive "punishment" for accurately saying he has a mixed record on endorsements: "I think President Trump is over the target, and we are looking at a lot of actions"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-09-06T15:19:13.294Z

WTF is he talking about? The FCC has no role whatsoever in the collection of data, or subsequent results of, public polling. It cannot make determinations as to whether they are accurate or fake. And it definitely can’t enforce any sort of “guidance” as to how they are conducted or reported. The FCC is not an official censorship agency that can muzzle the media. Particularly if it’s done to suppress information from people heading into the fall.

Broadcasters have no “obligations” as to how they report polls, outside of their own standards and practices set by their editors and executives. The worst parties to assume that authority would be those in government. That’s how dictatorships control the media and suppress the freedom that American journalists have had for 250 years.

Trump and Carr are behaving like the tyrannical despots they admire in Russia, China, and North Korea. However, the only people that should be subject to punishment are Trump and his White House flunkies who are violating the Constitution.

Trump’s obsession with what he calls fake polls stems from his knowledge that those polls are accurate. And illegally obstructing broadcasters from reporting on them doesn’t change the facts that they represent. Trump and his criminal regime are broadly despised and they are going down.

Delusional Trump Whines that Americans are ‘Angry at Republicans, But They’re Not Angry At Me’

Posted by on August 7, 2026 at 3:01 pm. 4 Comments :

It is becoming immensely more challenging every day for Donald Trump and his propaganda factory to make up new excuses for the rapidly escalating animosity that is felt by the American people for him and his MAGA cult. And with the midterm elections approaching, Trump’s political descent will leave him flapping pitifully in his Deflecting Pool for the next two years as the lamest of ducks.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

Trump seems to have no awareness of the severity of his situation. He refuses to modify his behaviors or his campaign strategies that are alienating voters. To the contrary, he is tripling down on policies that ignore the real concerns of the American people, in favor of his reckless war mongering, his ego-fluffing projects, his illegal self-enrichment, and his oblivious lies about how universally beloved he is.

SEE THIS: TRUMP: ‘My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been’ – OK Grandpa

Needless to say, the “REAL Polling Numbers” that Trump is referencing exist only in his cartoon brain. He somehow continues to believe that the world adores him and any bad feelings are attributable to someone or something else. That delusion was reiterated on Friday during an interview with Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News (video below), wherein Trump whined that…

“The question is – and they’re asking this question, and I’ve had some great polls recently, real polls, but they’re great polls – If I don’t run will those people go out and vote? And that’s the one thing I can’t tell. I’m gonna ask them to. But I’m just watching guys like you, and you’re very talented people. The question is will they vote? Cause a lot of them are very angry, at Republicans to be honest with you. They’re angry at Republicans, but they’re not angry at me.”

Let’s set aside Trump’s unconstitutional implication that he could run for president again. He can’t. And if he were to try he would be laughed out of the court and the country. The crux of his commentary is his preposterous belief that the American people are only angry with his MAGA Republicans, but certainly not him.

Of course, today’s Republican Party has devolved to such an extent that they are too cowardly and weak to have any opinions of their own. They are wholly controlled by Trump, and they unwaveringly support everything he does and says. So how could people be angry at Republicans without also being angry at the sole source of everything that they do and say?

What’s more, Trump’s total rejection of reality was also confirmed in new polling reported by CNN’s Chief Data Analyst, Harry Enten. He noted that a key group of Trump’s MAGA supporters are ditching the MAGA cult movement.

“The MAGA movement was built among the working class, non-college Americans…Back on October of 2024, on the plus side of the ledger, positive, plus six points…Look at this movement now. Minus 22 points. That is a shift of 28 points…They are shifting away and saying ‘We don’t like MAGA anymore.’ […]

“Maybe they’ve soured on MAGA but they haven’t soured on Trump? Aint the truth…In the 2024 election he won them by 13 points…But look at this now. Minus 19 points…This is a 32 point shift away from the president…’Adios, goodbye Mr. President, We don’t like you anymore.'”

Enten also pointed out that Democrats in Congress have gained significantly over Republicans with this group. So the American people are sick and tired of MAGA, of Republicans, and most of all, of Trump. And no matter how much he tries to pretend that he is the venerated messiah of MAGA-tism, he remains a pathetic loser desperately clinging to a psychotic illusion of idolatry.

Delusional Trump: ‘My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been’ – OK Grandpa

Posted by on August 3, 2026 at 3:11 pm. 0 Comments :

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.

Donald Trump Messiah

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…

SEE THIS: Wannabe Messiah Trump Claims to Be Standing Up to the ‘Demonic Forces’ Destroying Our Country

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.

MORE HERE: Delusional Donald: Does Trump Really Believe He’s Ultra Popular with Record High Approval Ratings?

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.

Putin Prodigy Trump Calls to Criminalize Democratic Socialism and Deport Its Leaders

Posted by on July 13, 2026 at 2:37 pm. 2 Comments :

The desperation of Donald Trump is revealing itself in ever more obvious and troubling ways. Despite his notable mental impairment, it is difficult to believe that he isn’t aware of just how unpopular he and his policies are. If were were truly as oblivious as he appears, he wouldn’t be acting out with such frenzied panic as his electoral prospects deteriorate.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

As the midterm elections approach, Trump is escalating his war on democracy. He has installed a political crony, Bill Pulte, in the position of acting Director of National Intelligence for the express purpose of weaponizing the agency in order to obstruct Democrats from voting in November. He is also pressuring Republicans in Congress to pass his phony “Save America Act” (aka Voter Suppression Act) by any means necessary, and for the same purpose.

SEE THIS: UH-OH: Trump Admits that His Phony ‘Save America Act’ is Really Meant to Rig Elections for MAGA

However, Trump may feel that he wasn’t making himself clear on his intentions to subvert free and fair democratic elections. So he took the additional step of posting a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, to clarify his his commitment to totalitarian rule. The comment said simply “DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM MUST BE CRIMINALIZED; LEADERS DEPORTED.”

Trump is reacting to the recent electoral victories of progressive Democrats that he ignorantly calls “communists.” But now he has escalated his reaction to an outright advocacy of criminalizing political thought that he doesn’t like. Just like his hero Vladimir Putin does in Russia. The fact that Trump thinks it’s appropriate to outlaw political speech, and punish people with whom he disagrees, should outrage American patriots who cherish the Constitution and the principles it embodies.

That wasn’t the only outrageous commentary by Trump today. He also addressed his war against Iran that he is losing. In another Truth Social comment he raged that…

“The Hormuz Strait is OPEN [but also that] We are reinstating the THE IRANIAN BLOCKADE [and that the U.S.A] will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped.”

So Trump is declaring (for the umpteenth time) that the Strait of Hormuz is open. But at the same time he declares that he is blockading it. And to make matters worse, he announces that the U.S. will charging 20% on all cargo for every ship that seeks to pass through the Strait. That, however. is not keeping it open. Rather, it is holding it hostage. And even though he has no legal jurisdiction to follow through, he issues the threat that will impede trade and raise the cost of all products that traverse the Strait.

Finally, Trump’s dementia is flaring up in a big way. He also posted a comment on Truth Social declaring – without any link to a corroborating source – that he has a “59% Approval Rating.” But it appears that he mixed up reports that were actually of his disapproval rating. There are no surveys that put him anywhere near 59% approval. On the other hand, there are many that found his disapproval at that level. (Click on this tweet for more polls).

You would be really hard pressed to find better examples of cognitive incoherence. It would be bad enough if it were your uncle. But it’s totally intolerable for the president of the United States. And yet, Trump’s MAGA confederates continue to tolerate it. Hopefully they won’t be around to fluff their Dear Leader after the midterm elections.

Delusional Donald: Does Trump Really Believe He’s Ultra Popular with Record High Approval Ratings?

Posted by on June 26, 2026 at 2:08 pm. 3 Comments :

Managing the erratic moods of Donald Trump Trump must be a full time job for a staff of White House nursemaids and babysitters. Particularly while his failures are being revealed in ever increasing frequency and severity.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

In recent days Trump’s illegal war against Iran has devolved into a cesspool of acrimony and retaliatory threats, while Trump claimed he had just successfully negotiated a deal for peace. And speaking of cesspools, Trump’s “renovation” of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool continues to be more reflective of a sewage swamp.

SEE THIS: Fox News Reflecting Pool ‘Media Frenzy’ Story Features Trump as ‘MUSHROOM DICK MESSIAH’

Furthermore, Trump’s mismanagement of the economy has resulted in higher inflation and rising costs for everything from gas, to groceries, to housing, to healthcare, and more. Consequently, it should come as no surprise that Trump’s approval ratings are in the toilet. Which makes it all the more bizarre that he seems to think that he’s riding a wave of massive popularity.

On Friday morning Trump posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, “bragging” about having found a poll that “accurately” measures how universally beloved he is. He claims, without providing a source, that he has approval ratings of “65% and more.” In the post he linked to an article by the rightist rag Newsmax, that cited a poll putting him at only 50%. And that one was done by the notoriously biased, right-wing pollster McLaughlin. And even that was ridiculously inflated. See CNN’s poll of polls average placing Trump at an abysmal 37% approval.

This sort of lying about his perceived fabulousness is patently Trumpian behavior. However, it’s difficult to tell whether he actually believes this obvious bullpucky, or if he is just so determined to avoid telling the painful truth that he doesn’t care how apparent his lies are. If it advances his efforts to deceive his gullible cult disciples, he’s all in.

Clinging to rabidly partisan pollsters, and manufacturing other numbers that exist only in his rapidly putrefying brain, is typically Trump. Just two days ago he posted a comment that said simply (and firmly in all caps) that “MY REAL POLL NUMBERS ARE THE HIGHEST THEY HAVE EVER BEEN. THANK YOU!!!” As usual, he didn’t bother to include a link to any poll confirming that claim. He just expects his devotees to believe whatever he says. Because that’s how cults work.

Trump’s vision of himself as a messianic figure continued on Friday with a speech to the “Faith and Freedom Coalition.” It was a speech crammed with theocratic crackpottery that reeked of political biases, religious bigotry, and incitements to violence. It also included something that Trump framed as a joke. But it was the sort of joke that Trump tells when he’s expressing his true feelings, but doesn’t want to take heat for it. He whined that…

“Our Founders invoked the Creator four times in the Declaration of Independence. Four times. I wasn’t mentioned once. I’m very upset. Not once.”

Trump: "Our Founders invoked the Creator four times in the Declaration of Independence. Four times. I wasn't mentioned once. I'm very upset. Not once."

RATPUBLICAN TRUMP Posts Two Polls on Truth Social Asking Truly DUMB (With a B) Questions

Posted by on June 20, 2026 at 1:11 pm. 1 Comments :

Something for which Donald Trump can always be counted on is his commitment to always focusing squarely on the issues that matter most to – himself, and only himself.

Donald Trump, Twitter

On Saturday morning Trump was busy doing the critical presidential work of posting idiotic comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. They included insulting and lying about Italy’s Prime Minister, making preposterous excuses for having ruined the Reflecting Pool in D.C., and bragging about having lost the reckless and illegal war he started against Iran.

In addition to those time-wasting exercises in pettiness and ego-stroking, Trump posted a couple of polls for his cult followers to play with. Neither addressed anything that the American people regard as essential to their well being. But both were repetitions of trivialities that Trump has been obsessed with. For instance…

Trump posted one poll that asked his flock which childish nickname they preferred for the Democratic Party: “Dumocrats” or “Dumbocrats”? This has been a pressing issue with Trump for quite a while. He appears to favor “Dumocrats” because you just swap the “E” for a “U.” He is particularly concerned about the inbred ignorance of his supporters, about whom he says “Many people don’t know, or assume, that DUMB ends in ‘b.'” By “many people” you can rest assured that he means himself.

Trump posted a second poll asking whether he should add the letter “N” to the beginning of the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agency that has been harassing both immigrants and American citizens. Trump whined that “ICE has been abused by the Fake News Media at levels never seen before…Much of this hostility is caused by the Dumocrats and the Fake News.” Trump thinks that if the initials spell “NICE” that…

“…it will totally discombobulate Crooked, Dishonest, and Unpatriotic Reporters and Journalists…They won’t be able to handle it, they will go totally crazy!”

Trump is convinced that it would put an end to any criticisms. Because that worked so well when Trump tried to rename the Gulf of Mexico, the Department of Defense, and the Kennedy Center. Notice how all criticisms ceased? Neither do I.

Trump could spend his time much more productively if he posted polls on issues that really matter to the American people. How about polls asking…

  • Was the war in Iran a good idea, and has it been successful?
  • Are you satisfied with the Trump administration’s handling of the economy?
  • Do you support deporting immigrants working in agriculture, hospitality, medical care, and construction?
  • Should the United States help Ukraine against Russia’s imperialism?
  • Is universal healthcare a human right?
  • Should billionaire’s pay their fair share in taxes?
  • Do you want Trump and his “Justice” Department to stop blocking the release of the Epstein files?

These are all issues where the majority are opposed to the positions of Trump and his MAGA Republican Party. Or should I say “RATpublican” Party? After all, you just swap the “E” for “AT” And you have a much better description. Maybe I should post a poll about that.

Trump’s White Trashing of the White House with His Tacky UFSemen Fest Even Disgusts Republicans

Posted by on June 12, 2026 at 2:58 pm. 0 Comments :

For someone who was born into a wealthy family, Donald Trump has none of the attributes of a typical snobby elitist the high society tastes of his upper crusty peers. To the contrary, Trump has always exhibited the sleaziest classlessness of those he regards as uncultured peasants and revels in looking down upon.

Donald Trump, Biggest Loser

Trump has presided over the bedazzling of the White House with gaudy thrift store filigree. He has made an obsession of “renovating” public spaces and symbols by gilding them in a manner that would embarrass the poshest royalty. And he has done much of that with tributes to himself, adding his own name and/or pumpkinized likeness. Although not always successfully.

As it turns out, Trump’s trashy tastes are not shared by the vast majority of the American people. The findings of new polls by Reuters/Ipsos and Fox News reveal just how far Trump is from having any connection to the people that he purports to represent. The polls sought the public’s opinions as to the appropriateness of Trump’s UFC cage matches that he is staging at the White House. As reported by CNN’s Harry Enten…

“Americans don’t find this thing to be appropriate. Take a look. Just 16% overall. And among Republicans – even among Republicans, you know the diehard base Republican Party with Trump through thick and thin – just 31% of Republicans.” […]

“Americans just don’t think that Donald Trump and this White House is in touch with them. Because they put on stuff like that that Americans don’t really care about. Take a look here. [Those who] say the White House is out of touch with people like you, 60% overall. We’re talking about 3 in 5 Americans. And look among Independents. 80% of Independents say that the White House is out of touch with people like them.”

Harry Enten: Just 16% of Americans say UFC White House fights are appropriate. Even among Republicans, just 31%. 28% of Americans believe in telepathy.

Those are some seriously abysmal stats. Particularly those among Trump’s own party. No wonder his approval ratings are in the toilet. The UFC project is something that has consumed much of Trump’s time. And even though the UFC says they are paying for the production, It will cost taxpayers millions of dollars in security, traffic, sanitation, and municipal costs. It glorifies violence. And it is a project that will enrich a Trump friend, and that even the Trump family will personally profit from.

Taking this together with the billion dollars he’s spending on his vanity ballroom, and the millions that will be sunk into the Reflecting Pool, and what he has wasted on the Kennedy Center, and his paving over of the White House Rose Garden, and his proposed D.C. arch, and you have an idea of what Trump’s real interests are. They are not the interests of the American people.

Meanwhile, Trump continues to wage a reckless and illegal war against Iran. He is neglecting the financial burdens of the nation for necessities such as groceries, gas, housing, and healthcare. He is seeking to slash benefits for Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. He is attacking citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights. He is persecuting immigrants who are seeking a better life for their families. He is embracing foreign adversaries and alienating allies. And he is suppressing the free press.

The Trump agenda is a perfect storm of callous disregard for the welfare the nation and its people. But perhaps the worst part of all of this is that Trump knows precisely how much the people despise him and his policies. We know he watches CNN and the reports by Harry Enten, because he frequently whines about them. So he likely knows about this reports as well. He just doesn’t care.

Maybe he will care more after the midterm elections when he and his MAGA party feel the wrath of the American people.
