Summary

Donald Trump falsely claimed he had approval ratings of 69% and 71%, despite no public poll supporting those figures.

Recent surveys from Pew, Quinnipiac, Gallup, and others place his approval below 50%, with some showing him underwater.

Trump has a history of dismissing unfavorable polls as “fake” and even sued a news organization over poll results.

Experts suggest his political success relies on maintaining the illusion of widespread support despite declining approval ratings.

    I mean, there’s a solid chance his handlers are just giving him fake poll numbers and shit to keep him busy anyway. He’s a fucking toddler, this dude isn’t reading the news. He gets a piece of paper that says “EVERYONE LOVES YOU, 89% APPROVAL” along with another Photoshop of him on some magazine every morning to make him feel like a big boy.

      He is pathological narcissist liar, and has always been so. He doesn’t need handlers to give him fake poll numbers. He will happily create them on the spot.

        Have you ever seen the Reagan lights out video?

        He’s asked a question and they turn out the lights, turn off his mic and he spontaneously utters “my handlers told me not to answer that”. He’s Regan just with yes men that egg on the dementia rambles as genius 4d chess you need to be in the know to understand.
