Trump hates new polls and the press [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-04-28

Donald had a sleepless night, so irritated by polls that show him deeply underwater, starting with his total approval rating. For individual issues, it's much worse. Posting at 5:24 am ET, he had to praise one pollster who he says contradicts numerous other reliable polling organizations. It doesn't work, Donald.

Trump begins by claiming an almost unknown pollster named John McLaughlin contradicts the NY Times and ABC/Washington Post polls that show him the worst 100 day rating for a president in 80 years. The problem I'm having is that I can't find McLaughlin saying anything of the sort, or a poll he has done since one he did on March 11th on pharmaceutical companies. Trump is latching on to straws that don't exist. That's why he's so upset. He's just trying to cover himself by making things up quoting a pollster who has been nice to him in the past. All the news reports completely miss this.

Trump goes third person crazy right off the bat.

"about a person named DONALD J. TRUMP, ME..."

It's a sure sign he can't handle the bad news. Because they are bad, they:

"... are FAKE POLLS FROM FAKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS."

Sure, Donald, The New York Times puts out fake polls to annoy you. I'll skip the numbers because he did it for me.

"... unheard of numbers unless they are looking for a negative result, which they are."

Wishful thinking. Numbers don't come out of thin air. They publish how they went about them with a margin of error. Just think if that error went the wrong way for you and you're really at 31%.

"These people should be investigated for ELECTION FRAUD..."

Somebody needs to tell Donald the election was last year. It's just one of his angry tirades that makes him lose his grip on reality. Even rips the Fox pollster again.

"They are Negative Criminals..."

Yes, Donald is going to sue and prosecute news organizations that hold him in a bad light. We already knew that.

"... apologize to their subscribers and readers after I WIN ELECTIONS BIG..."

Big, bigly, bigger, biggest, gone bonkers. Election was last year, this is job performance.

These cheating hearts are all against you because they all have:

"... Trump Derangement Syndrome... THEY ARE SICK..."

Sick of you, Donnie boy. And you're sicker than anyone. Then he brings up his made up statistic where only 3 people made it over the border without a location or timeframe. 99.9% of what?

"... TRULY THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!"

Hitler talk, Donald. That should be no surprise with you. The press telling the truth about you is your true enemy. We can only hope that the First Amendment holds true.

"... I wish them well, but will continue to fight..."

You'd like to throw newspeople down a wishing well and let them drown.

Donald wasn't finished. He had go after the press in general as an afterthought.

"BAD STORIES , and CHEATS, BIG, ON POLLS."

He got back to polls very quickly. How does news media cheat? But this time he's talking about polls. What exactly is cheating in a poll? Explain how that is done. Pollster's reputations are on the line with each poll. The idea that they would deliberately skew results is ludicrous.

"IT IS CORRUPT, AND COMPROMISED. SAD!"

Corruption is your middle name. You are compromised as a Russian asset. It's sad that we watch you fall farther into your mental illness with it on full display. Of course, it does show you are incapable of carrying out the duties of President and can be removed.

We hope very soon.

Trump likes McLaughlin because he hired him in 2020 to prove polls against him were biased. Sound familiar?
