No wonder Trump is so determined to keep the free press from reporting the truth about him and his failures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70807\" target=\"_blank\">Herr Trump Has Banned CNN, MSNOW, and Politico From the White House for Reporting \u2018Fake News\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday morning Trump&#8217;s chairman of the White House Economic Council was at his regular post on Fox News disseminating MAGA propaganda. Although this time he encountered a speed bump of sorts when Fox&#8217;s Peter Doocy asked a rational question that was loaded with facts about Trump&#8217;s failing economy&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Doocy:<\/strong> I want to know which of these things sets off alarm bells inside the West Wing. We&#8217;re gonna put up a poll. Only 23% of voters thinking the economy is excellent or good. 12% of voters describe their personal financial situation as getting ahead. Or 62% of voters saying grocery prices are a major problem for their families. Do any of those make you think, &#8220;we&#8217;ve got a problem here?&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong>Hassett:<\/strong> Look, I&#8217;m the White House economist and alls I can say is polls, over and over again, harm impressions about the economy because they poll way too many Democrats&#8230;Republicans are basically seeing what we see, which is a very strong economy with low inflation. <em>[Followed by a bunch of lies about how &#8220;great&#8221; the economy is]<\/em> What happens is that the far left media&#8230;instead of talking about that, they wanna talk about these jimmied polls. I&#8217;m not convinced at all.<br \/>\n<strong>Doocy:<\/strong> No far-left media here, Kevin.<br \/>\n<strong>Hassett:<\/strong> No, but you\u2019re saying what they say.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"embed-x\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Trump&#39;s economic advisor whines that polls include Democrats, and &quot;way too many.&quot; He thinks they should only poll Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>But the poll referred to here is a Fox News poll. So he ignores the findings and lies about the &quot;great&quot; economy that most Americans are not feeling. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9gn6j2kU5N\">https:\/\/t.co\/9gn6j2kU5N<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/2101723271205175664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 20, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>REALLY? The polling that Doocy cited, and that Hassett is complaining about, are Fox News polls. So now Fox News has to be framed as far left in order for Hassett&#8217;s lies to apply. Of course, he doesn&#8217;t bother to provide any evidence for his claim that <em>&#8220;they poll way too many Democrats.&#8221;<\/em> In fact, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fox_september-11-14-2026_national_topline_september-16-release-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">this survey<\/a><\/strong> included 41% Democrats and 42% Republicans. But that sort of equity isn&#8217;t good enough for Hassett, who believes that only Republicans should be polled, and the opinions of the majority &#8211; Democrats and Independents &#8211; are irrelevant.<\/p>\n<p>If Trump and his flunkies want to bury their heads in the sand and pretend that the American people aren&#8217;t struggling to make ends meet, that&#8217;s fine with Democrats. It is one of the main reasons that Trump and his MAGA GOP are trailing so badly in the polls leading up to the midterm election. The people know that Trump couldn&#8217;t care less about them, and that the Republican Party is beholden only to Trump.<\/p>\n<p>So performances like this one by Hassert are not resonating with voters. They weren&#8217;t even meant to. They were aimed only at Trump for his approval. And they aren&#8217;t going to move the needle on elections, particularly when they are only aired on networks like Fox, whose viewers have already been indoctrinated into the MAGA hive mind.<\/p>\n<p>That said, Fox&#8217;s audience will at least get a taste of reality with questions like the one Doocy posed today, and polls like the one cited in this segment. Will it change their votes? Maybe a few. But it might make more of them less inclined to vote at all. Which is even better, because then other Republicans down ballot won&#8217;t get their votes either. So the message from Democrats to Hassett and his comrades is <em>&#8220;Please proceed.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STOIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70793\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Poll Says \u2018Democrats Are Considered the Party that Would Better Handle\u2026\u2019 EVERYTHING!<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70730\" target=\"_blank\">HOW CONVENIENT!
