And in this episode he berated his longtime Ministry of Disinformation (aka Fox News) for failing to be sufficiently worshipful. Trump <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RonFilipkowski\/status\/1551682913229590528\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">posted<\/a><\/strong> the following condemnation of his pals at Fox and Friends&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c@foxandfriends just really botched my poll numbers, no doubt on purpose. That show has been terrible \u2013 gone to the \u2018dark side.\u2019 They quickly quote the big Turning Point Poll victory of almost 60 points over the number two Republican, and then hammer with outliers. Actually, almost all polls have me leading all Republicans &#038; Biden BY A LOT. RINO Paul Ryan, one of the weakest and worst speakers EVER, must be running the place. Anyway, thank you to Turning Point, the crowd &#038; \u2018love\u2019 was AMAZING!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s an impressive heap of hogwash, even for Trump. He can&#8217;t simply have a rational disagreement with a segment on the program that he was once featured on weekly. So he leaps straight into <em>&#8220;dark side&#8221;<\/em> damnation of his former friends. He asserts, without evidence, that they are purposefully <em>&#8220;botching&#8221;<\/em> his polling numbers.<\/p>\n<p>What Trump is freaking out about is how Fox and Friends co-host Steve Doocy reported Trump&#8217;s victory in a survey of potential 2024 Republican presidential candidates conducted at the ultra-rightist Turning Point conference in Tampa, Florida. Rather than stopping there, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/trump-fox-friends-poll-numbers-truthsocial-response\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Doocy went on<\/a><\/strong> to mention that there were other polls that had different results <em>(video below)<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Keep in mind, Turning Point, a group of young Republican conservative activists from all across the country. So you have got people from all across the country convening in Tampa. I\u2019m thinking about that is a little different than a couple of other polls that we have seen over the last couple of weeks, too. Weeks ago in Florida, Blueprint polling did a poll, [Gov. Ron] DeSantis leads the former president in all age groupings.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then there was a University of New Hampshire poll in June. DeSantis actually led Trump, 39 to 37. And that New York Times\/Sienna College poll that we\u2019ve cited quite a few times, less than half of Republican voters backed Donald Trump as their preferred choice.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, that was all it took to set Trump off. Never mind that Doocy was uncharacteristically correct. Trump felt compelled to lie, as usual, about leading in <em>&#8220;almost all polls&#8221;<\/em> against both DeSantis and President Biden. The truth is that Trump&#8217;s standing has severely withered in recent weeks. DeSantis is strongly challenging him in the GOP primary, and Biden is beating in him general election polls.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mCwzWZ9VdJ\">pic.twitter.com\/mCwzWZ9VdJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeNBC\/status\/1543559112306327559\">July 3, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Trump may have some cause to worry.
