And this is causing him to become more desperate with each passing day. So now he is trying to find some comfort by cowering in the slimy warmth of the Trump-fluffing media that he relies on for emotional support. And they are cooperating by telling him he is beloved by the American people.<\/p>\n<p>The only problem with that is that even their reassurances are pitifully weak. They come in the form of reports on polling of Trump&#8217;s approval. But those numbers are historically negative. Nevertheless, when they reach what are considered <em>&#8220;highs&#8221;<\/em> for Trump, he celebrates, even if they are dismally low in reality:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe latest Polls find 51% of Americans approve of President Trump\u2019s Job Performance.

Trump begins by saying that <em>&#8220;The latest polls find 51% of Americans approve of President Trump\u2019s Job Performance.&#8221;<\/em> But there is only one poll that has ever had him that high. It&#8217;s the notoriously disreputable Rasmussen poll <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=40503\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">that Trump hypes<\/a><\/strong> on a fairly regular basis. But even Rasmussen shows that Trump cannot sustain that level of support.<\/p>\n<p>Then Trump finds joy in a report that a Democratic pollster said that his polling has been historically steady. That&#8217;s actually true. It&#8217;s been steadily horrible. He has never cracked 50 percent by any credible pollster and currently resides in the low forties by most surveys. And <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/hilltv\/what-americas-thinking\/443643-dem-pollster-says-trumps-approval-rating-steady-despite-policy\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the report<\/a><\/strong> that he&#8217;s referring to is not complimentary to him. Which may be why he didn&#8217;t link to it. It says essentially that he&#8217;s in a rut where no good news helps him and no bad news hurts. In other words, his cult is still a glassy-eyed horde of blind devotees, but everyone else hates him.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Trump claims that his current polling is <em>&#8220;even better than in 2016.&#8221;<\/em> That&#8217;s just another lie by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2019\/06\/10\/president-trump-has-made-false-or-misleading-claims-over-days\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the lyingest president in history<\/a><\/strong>. His approval ratings in 2016, if anything, were slightly higher than where they are now. But for the most part they&#8217;ve been, as he said above, steady. He has lost support among the working class, women, and minorities, and particularly in the states that gave him his electoral college victory.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, Trump is resorting to fear mongering. In another Saturday morning tweet <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1139891393252474880\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Trump warned<\/a><\/strong> that <em>&#8220;if anyone but me takes over in 2020&#8230;there will be a Market Crash the likes of which has not been seen before.&#8221;<\/em> That actually sounds more like a threat than a prediction. But it&#8217;s consistent with the malignant narcissism that is ravaging his diseased brain.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In his dementia, only Trump can save us from a catastrophic collapse of civilization.
