The poll also has him getting beat by Bernie Sanders and in statistical ties with Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris. Naturally, this insult to his bloated ego incited a tantrum on Twitter aimed at maligning his own State TV network:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FoxNews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@FoxNews<\/a> is at it again.

And their betrayal is an unforgivable sin that cannot be ignored. Consequently, he is now lambasting them as traitors who are part of the <em>&#8220;Lamestream Media in Collusion with Crooked and the Democrat Party.&#8221;<\/em> Proving, once again, that all it takes is one less than flattering remark for Trump to explode with outrage and accuse you of treason.<\/p>\n<p>As for Fox News always being terrible for Trump, that is not an opinion that he has held with much consistency. To the contrary, he has often praised the Fox News polls and thank the network for their obedient adulation.

The one lauding 40 percent approval by African-Americans was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=39625\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">an outright lie<\/a><\/strong>. The one about the FBI breaking the law was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/fox-news-poll-five-takeaways-on-the-russia-investigation-post-mueller-report\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">deceitfully manipulated<\/a><\/strong> by Trump. He combined several different responses into one to arrive at 58 percent. If the responses were split into fair groupings the result would be 38-51 against the assertion that any intelligence agency had broken the law. And the one bragging about a Fox News poll putting his approval at 50 percent was actually Fox News reporting on a poll by the notoriously biased Rasmussen.<\/p>\n<p>What is abundantly clear is that Trump has been more than pleased with the results of Fox News polls in the past. But when one is less than adoring he flips out and insists that they have always had it in for him. That&#8217;s a sign of a severe mental infirmity consistent with narcissism, paranoia, and sociopathic disengagement from reality.<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing about this latest Fox poll that is out of line with most other polls. Even Trump&#8217;s surveying savior, Rasmussen, shows Trump with a majority 51 percent disapproval. Notably, Rasmussen had Trump at 50 percent approval the day before the congressional testimony of Robert Mueller. And he has declined every day since. In Rasmussen&#8217;s poll!<\/p>\n<p>So the public perception of Trump was not helped by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=42279\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Mueller&#8217;s damning affirmation of Trump&#8217;s criminal behavior<\/a><\/strong>. Trump wasn&#8217;t helped by the testimony that he welcomed and encouraged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Nor was Trump&#8217;s reputation aided by Mueller&#8217;s explicit description of his actions as constituting obstruction of justice.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that Fox News pollsters managed to produce a relatively accurate representation of the public mood has sent Trump into a fit of acrimony. He is flagrantly in denial of reality and flailing wildly in a attempt to reshape the world into one that loves him unconditionally. And to the extent that he fails at that, his critics, even friendly ones, become his bitterest foes. Every Trump supporter needs to remember that, no matter who you are or how worshipful you&#8217;ve been in the past, if you backslide for even a moment you become the enemy of the people. That&#8217;s life in the Cult of Trump.<\/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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s only been one day since Donald Trump was gleefully bragging about the results of a Fox News poll that said his approval on the economy was 52 percent.
