On any given day Donald Trump can reliably be found deeply engaged in important presidential activities on behalf of the American people. Those activities run the gamut from renaming lakes, to renovating pools and statues, to sucking up to foreign dictators, to winning tournaments at his own golf resorts.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

In addition to those chores, Trump is faithfully devoted to one of his most critical functions: Hate-watching television news programs. That may be his second favorite office obligation after casting blame for his mistakes on his fellow Republicans, or criticizing them for being less than sufficiently worshipful.<\/p>\n

SEE THIS: Trump Blasts the Republican Party, Whining \u2018They Don\u2019t Fully Grasp How Badly They Are F*ing Up\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

On Saturday morning Trump posted an urgent message on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, about what he has observed in the mediaspace that takes priority over resolving his reckless and illegal war in Iran, or the festering affordability crisis that he created but says is a hoax. He raged that<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“CNN is in a DEATH SPIRAL, and so is MSNOW, the new name for MSDNC \u2014 Literally, nobody is watching either Network! The best person on CNN is Pollster Harry Enten, because he was willing to show that Donald J. Trump is six times more popular than Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, or any other President \u2014 He\u2019s got Credibility (Don\u2019t fire him!). CNN can be turned around with new Leadership and Anchors (MSNOW cannot!), because a Great Brand can never truly be destroyed!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

First of all, it needs to be noted that Trump has been declaring that CNN and other media outlets have been dead or dying for years<\/a><\/strong>. It’s a long list that includes his Ministry of Propaganda Fox News<\/a><\/strong>, ABC, CBS, NBC, MS NOW, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and even late night comedy shows like Seth Meyers. But they are all still around and thriving. So either they have superhuman sustaining powers, or they are zombies.<\/p>\n

Also, Trump’s claim that “Literally, nobody is watching,”<\/em> tells us two things. One: That Trump has absolutely no idea what the television ratings landscape looks like today. And two: That Trump has no idea what what the word “literally”<\/em> means. Because literally millions of people are watching CNN, MS NOW, and the other news networks.<\/p>\n

Despite his open hostility, Trump went on to express his appreciation for CNN’s Senior Data Analyst, Harry Enten, for being “willing”<\/em> to present some positive information about Trump. Although Trump mischaracterized Enten’s reporting as showing that Trump is “six times more popular”<\/em> than any other president. What Trump left out was that Enten’s report actually said<\/a><\/strong> that Trump’s popularity was limited only to Republicans. To the general population he remains deeply underwater, and lagging far behind President Obama.<\/p>\n

What’s more, Enten has regularly featured polling that shows Trump’s approval is at record lows and is on a starkly downward path. And now Trump has established that he regards Enten as a “credible”<\/em> reporter and pollster. So now everyone – including the MAGA cultists – can rely on his reporting about how broadly Trump is despised.<\/p>\n

They should take a look at the following clips of Enten revealing the dismal prospects for Trump and his MAGA movement. Maybe it will finally sink in that they have been duped by a con man who is only in it for himself.<\/p>\n

Delusional Trump Whines that Americans are \u2018Angry at Republicans, But They\u2019re Not Angry At Me\u2019<\/a><\/strong>
\nENTEN: “In the 2024 election he won [working class voters] by 13 points…But look at this now. Minus 19 points…This is a 32 point shift away from the president…\u2019Adios, goodbye Mr. President, We don\u2019t like you anymore.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

FLYING KETCHUP ALERT: Trump is Polling Worse than Both Biden and Carter on Inflation<\/a><\/strong>
\nENTEN: “Donald John Trump is in the worst position he has ever been in on inflation. And more than that, these are the worst numbers I\u2019ve ever seen for any president. […] Trump is 49 points underwater.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
