As a result, even documented evidence of his many severe flaws are suppressed by his psychosis. And that also extends to any and all criticism, including less than glowingly favorable polling.<\/p>\n<p>Trump demonstrated this disorder when he was asked Saturday by conservative columnist Byron York about his record low approval ratings. York <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ByronYork\/status\/2113972150688260347\" target=\"_blank\">posted Trump&#8217;s deranged reply<\/a><\/strong> saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I asked the president about his job approval number. &#8216;It&#8217;s fake,&#8217; he quickly said. &#8216;It&#8217;s fake.&#8217; He pointed to the New York Times &#8211; &#8216;The job approval, they said it&#8217;s 37, 38?&#8217; he asked incredulously. &#8216;I&#8217;m not at 38.&#8217; I asked where he thought his approval rating actually stands. &#8216;I don&#8217;t believe I could be beaten by anybody,&#8217; he said. &#8216;I think that if I needed it, which I don&#8217;t, I think 60.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>True to form, whatever Trump doesn&#8217;t like he labels as fake. However, in this case. Trump is right. He is not at 38% in the New York Times poll. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.natesilver.net\/p\/trump-approval-ratings-nate-silver-bulletin\" target=\"_blank\">He is at 34%<\/a><\/strong>. Which is his lowest approval rating recorded in any Times\/Siena poll. And other polls show even lower than that.<\/p>\n<p>Not satisfied with merely refuting the polls, Trump offered his own opinion that his approval rating is at a ridiculously high 60%. And, of course, he produced no evidence of that. However, according to the Times poll, Trump is not only at a new low in approval, he is underwater on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/10\/21\/us\/politics\/trump-midterm-election-poll.html?unlocked_article_code=1.KVE.2POL.SU4aX_gGawTv\" target=\"_blank\">every major issue<\/a><\/strong> that the Times polled.
