It’s hard out here for a pompous narcissist. Donald Trump lives for positive validation from whatever ignorant or corrupt source he can scrape it off of – Vladimir Putin, Rush Limbaugh, white nationalists, etc. But given the massive failure of his bizarro administration, kind words and tributes are hard to justify unless you’re a dedicated Fox News Trump-fluffer<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Consequently, Trump resorts to exalting himself every chance he gets. Much of that is done by posting videos by his favorite Fox News bootlickers<\/a><\/strong> and retweeting Pizzagate conspiracy crackpots who have an undying adoration for their Dear Leader.<\/p>\n

Trump is also fond of spotlighting polls that he thinks put him in a positive light. More often than not, they don’t. For instance, Trump frequently boasts that the ultra-biased, right-wing pollster, Rasmussen, ranks his approval rating highly. But while Rasmussen’s results are always better for Trump than reputable pollsters, they are almost always below fifty percent<\/a><\/strong>. How is that brag-worthy?<\/p>\n

On Monday morning Trump wandered off the ranch to find a poll by a source that he commonly refers to as “fake news.”<\/em> The Suffolk\/USA Today poll posted a result that tickled Trump’s ego bone. So he rushed to tweet out the news that he actually believes makes him look good:<\/p>\n

Wow! A Suffolk\/USA Today Poll, just out, states, \u201c50% of Americans AGREE that Robert Mueller\u2019s investigation is a Witch Hunt.\u201d @MSNBC<\/a> Very few think it is legit! We will soon find out?<\/p>\n
